UntilMOMMI – Great Attitude! I’m sure that 10 lbs will soon just be a memory!
Shari – I’ve been telling my son that he’ll wish he had this stuff but he states he’s sure he won’t.
WTG many many congrats on the new job!! My husband I moved around a lot in our early years. Here’s what I found helpful. Label, wrap your glass items with your towels. (Example dishes with dish cloths) Have an empty box by the TV so even if you’re “taking a break” you can still pack things away. I kept out 1pot, pan, 1 set of silverware and I bought paper plates, disposable cups. On the last day I just threw these things into a bag along with my toiletries. I found this to be handy in the new apt. since I didn’t have to worry about finding anything.
As for me 2nd day at Curves. I had a really good workout. I do have a heck of a time finding my pulse and when I do, I lose it again or time is up. My daughter just called said she won't be making it today. My grandson has been up almost all night getting sick. She thinks he is finally down. She was worried about taking time off since she has midterms today. Her teacher said it was fine. I'm glad for I know she'd not do well because she'd be thinking how her baby was.
Shari - My grandson woke and was pretty much back to normal. I'm hoping my grand daughter doesn't come down with the same thing.
As for me physical therapy is once again today. The exercises they are having me do at home are working out nicely. I have more movement in my arm. I also have curves tonight. I went out for a Geek Salad lastnight with DH I'm not sure if Feta Cheese is an high fat food. I'm hope it's not terrible. I do love Greek Salads. YUM!
I love this idea... I just put a 10 lb goal for X-mas, and this would be perfect... I'm in I had a little over 40 lbs to lose. Right now I have 35 left... so 3.5*10... seems much more doable
Welcome Willba3! Since you don't have a set plan my I offer a few ideas. Start with baby steps. An example is if you drink lost of sodas then cut it down to only a limted number a day or completely out. Or maybe fitness say you'll do a workout of your choice for 10 minutes a day. It could be anything from dancing to the raido to lifting weights you choose what you think it doable. Soon other things will fall into place. I have also found that I'm am consently tweaking my plan here and there because of "life" issues. The main thing is to NEVER GIVE UP!! Ok I'll step off my soapbox. Once again welcome.
Shari - Hello to you. I bet your so busy planning and such. Sending many happy vibes your way.
As for me today was weight in day. I was worried. I asked he scale to be good to me and it was. 4 lbs down and it's even TOM. I'm going to take it and run!
Willba3 – NSV = No Scale Victory. Meaning a victory over a non scale achievement.
Like you drinking your water . Have you came up with a plan? I found if I eat some protein I’m not as hungry. I also try to keep sweet potatoes on hand when I’m very hungry a few minutes in the microwave and they are ready. I find this can stop me from eating out of control. Also when you said you feel hungry had you eaten. It’s a good thing to try and plan your meals and snacks for when you are hungry you can go to the frig and get say celery with a bit of peanut butter. I try to have my snacks prepared/pre measured. So I can just grab.
Shari – Congrats on the shrinkage!!!
Brrr I’m freezing I have turned up the heat and have a sweater, 2 pairs of socks on sweat pant and my throw over my legs and I’m still chilled. I think I’ll make me a cup of hot tea. I am so temped to turn on my mattress heating pad and crawl in. Ahh warmth comfort *sigh*
I just bought to pr-packaged steamed broccoli and cheese.....I love broccoli!!! cool now I know.......You know protein does work I find that if I drink a genisoy protein shake in the morning I am less hungry throughout the day.....
The problem that I feel is a big deal:
Why is HEALTHY FOOD SO DARN EXPENSIVE??????
the bad stuff is so much more affordable, Is someone trying to keep us fat???
