Sorry I've been AWOL too. I'm still recovering from bronchitis. I'm back at work...though just sitting at a computer all day is knocking the stuffing out of me. I'm exhausted by the time I get home. Doc says no working out 'till next week at the earliest....so I'm trying to make the best possible food choices.

Right now...my biggest challenge is breathing....so for the next 21 days, I promise to breathe. No pauses allowed.

diyana, that sounds awful. I know what bronchitis is like, had a very bad bout some years back. I do hope you can get better soon. Rest, as much as you can afford to get, is necessary to knock down the infection. Eat only good food and try to let your body use its energy for healing, not digestion! Get well soon!!


I'm trying to head out to the gym now before work. First time in a long time. I have been sick too with I don't know what but I think too some kind of infection. I had really been overdoing it at the gym on top of NOT taking care of myself. I was eating garbage and doing other nasty things....trying to get back on track!

Thanks for coming back, Red.
I've been doing something on my own but I am pleased to announce that I am on DAY 10 of keeping a weight loss tracker and journal.
Have found a great book called 100 Days of Weight Loss


http://www.amazon.com/100-Days-Weigh...4189400&sr=8-1

Not sure if that link will work.
It's very thought provoking. I think it's helping me.
I start off great and lose momentum all the time. This is a continuance, in a way, of my last challenge here about awareness. I'm actually still kind of on that, but using this book.
I'm bringing fourth my vision of what I want to achieve with each day.
I'm not being a perfectionist, but I am more determined than I have been in a long time.

Derry - 100 Days of Weight Loss is a great book. I started it a year ago...and then life or some such nonsense got in the way. I have to dig out the book and workbook/journal and start my own 100 days again.

Hi, I'm still around too, lets start a new thread and get a fresh start!

I checked and didn't see a new thread started, so I guess I will post here.

I'm not on Day 14. I'm on a roll.
During the days I have read my book, I have tracked my food and I have been honest with myself.
That darn scale has not done all that much, but I have kept my mind on the goal and the program. I realize that immediate results are just not available to me, it takes hard work and perseverance in order to reach that goal.

I finished my weekly tracker yesterday and start a new one today. I managed to stay within the guidelines of the WW program for one entire week, that is amazing for me, so I am truly getting on track.

I hope to finally get back to a WW meeting tomorrow and step up on that scale and accept the end result. Don't know if there will be a loss, according to their scale and my last weigh in with them, but I know in my heart that I am doing the right thing and working hard.

I'm still here....not signing up for any challenges yet as I'm still trying to get back my energy. Today is the first day that my lungs are a little less tight. Still have NO energy. I'm eating healthy...but not moving much at all except for trips to get water and go to the rest room.

Still committed. Still working.

Hello, I'll start a new challenge soon!
I'm not in a happy place right now. It kind of sucks...

STOP!!! Do NOT post here! A new thread is up...

Please go over there and continue as usual....but with renewed and added ENERGY!!!! I'll be joining you.

See you there!
