Sounds GOOD to me, jolly!! :yes: And here's sending power vibes that things get better at work. ((((vibes)))) Hang in there!
|
Day 1 = good! I did wander over to the fridge and eat a few grapes while having a stressful phone conversation -- but I'm not counting that cuz it totaled about the same calories as chewing gum.
Good Luck All! Libbie Marie My Every Day 21-Day Challenge: NO SNACKING AFTER 8 P.M., Level 3 (but I will sincerely try for no pauses) |
WTG Libby! And Jolly - here's some more good vibes.
Thank G-d for support. I ate another pear today = 2 fruits. And although I'm keeping okay with the food, and feeling a little better, (I'm going to go back to work tomorrow after bring home and week), I'm posting something I wrote on another thread.. It's self explanatory. ...and VERY unhappy with the dietitian - we have socialized medicine here so it's not a service I pay for - and believe me - you get what you pay for -!! The appt before me was running late I guess because my appt was for 4:30 and I got there 4:25 and they were just going in then, and so I only got in at 4:45, and she started with weighing me etc. and my BMI is MORBIDLY OBESE (that sounds awful!) and I got the results of the blood test I took this morning and I'm worried I've crossed over the line from pre-diabetic to diabetic - fasting glucose was 128... And cholesterol 212... I'm a mess! Anyway - she started making a diet - breakfast, snack, lunch, and then "That's all we have time for today" - YES! She stopped right in the middle of making a daily food plan and I was so flabbergasted that I didn't say a word! So I'm a little not happy right now becuase I have NO PLAN and I know you guys understand how important the PLAN is!!!!!!! Grr. When are you going to let us know what your doing, Red? You've got my curiousity going! |
Hello. I have to start over. Well, I can take my pauses, but I'm pretty darn sure that I can't get the whole hour in on Thursday, I'll be really busy. So I'll start up again on Friday. I think I'll start no beer though. Speaking of diet sabotage, my husband came home with a case of beer the other night. Fortunately I don't care for one of the brands he bought.
Miriam-bummer about the dietitian. You would think she'd have a sort of generic plan already prepared, to give to you until she had time to personalize it for you. Jolly, hang in there! You are still doing great in the big pcture! Red, you hang in there too! I know what you mean about being tired of the challenges. I often think of leaving 3 fat chicks. But I really want to leave because I've reached my goal, so I'll stick to it. Hi, everyone else!! |
morning blues....
Morning all. Feeling still awful, but I am going to drag myself to the gym and then to the dreaded office. God, I hate this feeling, hating going in to the office. But it has really gotten bad. Guess I'll just try to keep thinking of it as a learning experience. :^:
In any case, I am going to try to gain back some of my lost self, the self that was actually quite disciplined and athletic and which has now fallen into quite a mire of lethargy. ************** Miriam -- There's nothing interesting about my challenges. They are just the same as last time, that's all. Just don't feel like counting them on here for a couple more days. When you have as many as I do and have been doing it all so long, it gets really tedious. I'm giving myself a break, that's all. That sucks with the dietician. But, can't you figure out a plan on your own at least for now? There must be something you can use as a guideline, no. And, Miriam, I'm sorry, but there is NO way in the world that you are "morbidly obese" at 166 lbs. No way. And 212 is not bad for cholesterol either. 200 used to be the goal. I don't know about fasting glucose though. Sounds like you need to get yourself a real doctor, even if you have to pay for it. Those people you went to are obviously useless. libby -- Good for you! :cp: A handful of grapes is nothing. Hope the stressful conversation worked out. |
yo Ap! get away from that brew!
Apple -- You were posting as I was. OK, starting over, are you? I think you should change your challenge if it's becoming next to impossible to do. Otherwise, what's the point? Drop the time a bit and then aim for more when you do it. As for being tired of challenges, it's just because I'm getting to the point where I'm actually starting to get it all together I think and that is a pain. I mean I am and I'm not because as you can see, my weight is higher than ever! :( But, oddly as it seems from the outside, I do feel I'm closer than ever. You know what I mean? Inside, I can feel I'm ready to get it all right and then outside things will start showing. ...pause for a scale check... Then again, I don't know. I was SO good yesterday and the scale is way up again. Yeah, yeah, I know it means nothing but I am SO sick of not seeing results. Oh well, I'm going to give it ONE MORE WEEK...so when I come in here with my morning weight on Wednesday, May 28, I am going to decide if I throw all efforts to the four corners of the earth and blow up to triple my size. Yup, one week..... |
Just a quick drop by...day 3 done YAY and all meals and snacks prepared for day 4 up till tea time :D
red- I hope you get hopeful about your situation soon :) and not just throw it in because of little things you want to happen and their not, by little things I mean weight loss, just a teeny tiny part of why your here lol |
Day 9
All challenges completed, barely, was a rough day |
Apple - you can withstand the beer temptation. Make yourself some nice drink that you like - some herbal tea or something, and have it ready when hubby starts to drink. I tried herbal tea in seltzer as a "soft drink" - celestial seasonings makes these little packets of "on the go" flavored green tea. Check it out.
Red - what is it that you hate about the office? Out of all things in my life, my job is my lifeline, me escape, my sanity... I feel sorry to hear that yours isn't the same. Ain't life to short to be stuck doing something you don't like? I want to buy a beanbag for my office - lol, helps me think out of the box. I know you know this - but you're a worthy person, no matter how much you weigh and what size clothes you wear. And regarding the stupid dietitian - I'm considering going private (my sister has a great one - but pricey) but my husband is in between jobs and I don't know if we can manage the extra money now. Especially because summer is coming and I have 6 kids to send to camp!!! Lupin - wtg! What kind of snacks are you doing? Shy - sorry it was a hard day and good for you for keeping to it. Every time I see all those cheering smilies of yours it keeps me focused and thinkning - I want that too!! :) As I'm sitting here I can say day#4 - breakfast - done day #3 - fruit - in a minute :) have a good day |
Ugh - this is hard! between allergies and the weather giving me horrid headaches, I have not been doing well at all:(
But! I am back in the saddle:moo: (I couldn't find a pony, so a cow will have to do:D) Yesterday was actually a very healthy eating day. A little more fat than I would like, but over all pretty good. Journal all food eaten - Day 1 complete (start 4/20) 2 pauses Eat at least three servings of fruit/veg - Day 1 complete (start (4/20) 2 pauses Today is my anniversary! DH and I have been married 8 years. He slipped a card in my purse this morning that was so sweet I practically started crying at work. Welcome to Miriam Anne and LibbyMarie!! You are starting off strong! Hello to Shy, Fish, Lupin, Jolly, Apple, and everyone else I have missed. I should have more time to post later! |

But other than fruit I have a twix which I look foward to to get rid of all my choccie needs with not the most calories yay. Well done on day 4, took me a month to get there lol Shy- well done on completing day 9 even on a tough day :) Red - When I first joined here I attempted to get my mum motivated etc and have only managed to get her on the treadmill once since buying it, shes now on slimming world yet moaned yesterday at me having a twix, shes just jealous because I had planned it and could enjoy the choccie lol where as she had to have rubbishy red day food. You know you can do whatever you put your mind to , maybe you should read some past posts of advice you've given other people :) You have good advice Keep at it apple and libby and jolly :) |
Hi Everyone!
Day 5 - food for breakfast Day 4 - fruit every day I went to the gym this morning after not having gone for a while (I was sick) and yesterday I got new exercise pants and I like them but i think the elastic on the top is too stretchy and they kept falling down under my ample tummy, LOL It annoys me that all me weight is in my middle - I am so round!! And I know that even when I reach my weight goal I STILL won't have a waist because I never did. Grr. Happy anniversary Fish! Do I understand from your ticker that you are expecting? Lupin - love your ticker!Can't wait to get mine! Let's see that lightening bolt RUN!!! :) :) I also prepare my food the night before and this morning I had to take everything with me on the bus (my ride didn't go today) and I don't like people looking at me with my bags and seeing what's inside... So I packed everything into a schoolbag - BRIGHT RED - LOL and I felt like a schoolgirl again :) Red - where are you? |
OK. Real quick post. Have an emergency shift to cover - a staff's apartment building caught fire!!! Now I have to worry about what we can do for them. Always something.
Day 11 daily core and daily stretching, and day 2 of no soda, follow menu, and breakfast for breakfast met. Will have to take my one soda pause today, due to the early coverage. I couldn't sleep after they called me. There is lots more I wanted to say, but time is tight, and my brain cells are not all firing :( Sorry! Have a good day all :wave: |
Journal all food eaten - Day 2 complete (start 4/20) 2 pauses
Eat at least three servings of fruit/veg - Day 2 complete (start (4/20) 2 pauses I am feeling better today - still congested, but the vice around my head is loosening:) I just need to hang on until the three-day weekend! Lupin has a ticker! Hooray! 15 minute speech? Just. Talk. Really. Slowly.:D Miriam - you are doing great! Yep, after 8 years of wedded bliss, we decided to throw a baby in the mix.:dizzy: (I think we will stick to one - you have six children? My hat is off to you!) So my ticker is going up right now (or it will be if I ever get round to updating), but the thought is to keep it from doubling:p Jolly - oh my gosh! I hope everyone is alright and that you are able to help. You are halfway there with your stretching! Red - hang in there sweetie:hug: You are so supportive and positive for us. Just beam some of those good thoughts into a mirror for yourself. |
Helloooo
exercise 45 min each day - 3 pause eat 5 fruit a day - 3 pause FAILED - 2 LEFT Write everything I eat/exercise down - 0 pauses I only failed cos I had packed all my fruit up last night but went to eat it today and it tasted RANK cos mum keeps getting me cheap n nasty stuff that is tasteless, serves me right really for thinking I could rely on the stuff she bought me, so I'm going shopping tomos. Ugh I can't be bothered to have them staggered so I'm still doing everything else but making tomorrow day 5 instead of today, if that makes sense, so everything else will be done for 22 days but I'll call them 21 so their all even. :) |
