Hi everyone! Just wanted to say goodbye, since I'm leaving tomorrow and my computer at home is broken. :( I'll try to talk to you time to time from Australia.
To answer questions, I'm studying Dietetics (e-gad, listen to my own advice ;) ), but I'm not far enough into it yet to know much. :lol: And, I'm on day 3 of the 21 day challenge. Woo! And feeling better. Good luck to everyone, and adios! Carolyn |
Im ashamed to admit that i have to start over. And i messed up on day 1, how sad is that? But i woke up this morning and told myself i was going to do it right to day and the next 20 days. So here i am admitting my mess up and starting over. Yesterday was just bad, do any of you ever get to where all you can think about is food and you have to have it right then? jeez i feel like such an junky. lol food is funny like that
1. I had 1,140 calories today. 2. 2 bottles of water and will finish third before midnight 3. just finished my 10 min work out I am proud to admitt though, that i did resist Taco Bell, Pizza Hut and binging(again) when they were offered for dinner and lunch and when i was bored. Everyone, congrats on completing anther day!! :D |
I just sat here for five minutes staring at the computer :o Although technically I passed today, the foods i did eat weren't particularly healthy so I'm not sure if I want to count today. I'm an extreme perfectionist so I shall have to say that I want to start over, because I want to be eating well - not just sticking to the calories, so tomorrow shall be my new day one. :D
Redballoon congratulations on Day Eight! When you say no sugar, do you mean no sugar or no sugary foods? Cherryxdoom I will join you in starting over... we can do it! :D |
Day 9 on the way out!!
Hello there. I'm on Day 9 and only have a few more hours left. I can do it! :yes:
Carolyn, Bon voyage! :hat: I do hope you'll check in with us from Australia. You'll be in my neighborhood (well, kind of). Are you going to try to stay on the challenge? Well, that may be hard . . . In any case, best of luck with everything and have fun in Oz! Cherry, that's the spirit! :sunny: Never be ashamed about starting over! :no: We're here for you, through the ups AND downs. :yes: So, just start again, always. That's part of the good thing about this. Like I've said before, it's simple to know when you're on or off and there's no shame in starting over. Just do it. No excuses either way. You can do it!! I'm rooting for you. :cheer: Oh, and heh, about thinking about food ALL the time. Yes, yes, and yes again! It's horrible, but so what?! Maybe we should just consider it our hobby!! :lol: Heh, you could do a lot worse!! Alya, wow, you are a perfectionist. :eek: Do you think that's OK. Well, I guess if you enjoy it. ;) Yes, when I say no sugar I mean no sugar as in any sort of sugar or sweetener or honey and no food that has had any sugar added, so I'm always checking labels. You'd be amazed at the things that have sugar in them. And all the names for sugar as well. You more or less can't eat too many processed foods because there's sugar everywhere. I draw the line at eating out. I'm not going to worry if the sauce has sugar in it or something like that. Then again, if I'm being real picky I must admit that I can taste it in things and then try to stay away. My real reason for staying off the sugar though is that real sweet things set me off like an alcoholic and then I just go on a sugar binge, major or mini. My energy levels now are amazing. No swings like before and as long as I don't eat sugar I don't binge. My skin is really good as well and I feel much more alert. Now, when I do eat sugar the next day it feels like a hangover! :yes: Really! Everyone else out there, how are you doing? I hope well and hope to hear from you soon! :wave: |
Wow, redballoon that sugar thing sounds like a great idea! And nope, I hate my perfectionism, I'm trying to work through it with my psychologists/psychiatrists at the moment... but I had to give in this time and not count today. :dizzy:
Anyway, good luck to everyone for tomorrow!! |
Just checking in for a minute.... Just wanted to say I made it to day #3. My goals are to drink 8 glasses of water, exercise 30-60 minutes per day and eat right (under 1400 cals.). I've done this for 3 days now and feeling a lot better for it.
Alya, I understand the perfectionist thing. Unfortunately, I'm the same way. I seem to be harder on myself than anyone else. What does your therapist suggest? Red, congrats on the no sugar idea. I like it. I feel better without it, too, so I know what you mean. Marti, how are you doing? Congrats on restarting pilates. Care, sorry to see you go. And to everyone else, hang in there! We can do this together. Dena |

Alya, you slavedriver, you! Whip yourself into shape for a perfect tomorrow!! :drill: Cherry, you're almost there. Just jump into that exercise and chug that water and you'll have done Day 1!! :cb: |
Happy Friday, Everyone!!
Here I am on Day #4. :D I accomplished my goals yesterday and today aim for the same. Here are my goals: eat less than 1400 cals, exercise 30-60 minutes and drink my eight glasses of water. I know the weekends are tricky, but I have faith. Here's wishing you a wonderful weekend! :) Dena |
Hi everyone can I join in. Today is day 2 for me.
Drink min 3 bottles of water Exercise play set out for the day. I have a different exercise route each day. Continue with good eatting habits. OK So my 21 days will be up on my 38th birthday......fingers are crossed. Good luck to you all. |
Hello All, I'm back on day 1 with the water challenge....again....I WILL get thins thing going!
Den - Congrats on day 4....great start! Welcome Hockeychic! |
Hey, hey, hey... it's on to day no. 5. Last night we went out to dinner, and I stayed at 1200 cals for the day! Yay! I've been posting my calories at fitday and that seems to help me.
My goals for today are the same: eat under 1400 cals, drink 8 glasses of water and exercise for 30-60 minutes. When I post my goals I seem to want to attain them. Scuzin, your body is loving you for drinking the water. I know it's harder in the winter, but drinking it revs up the metabolism. Great job! Welcome, Hockychic. Happy Birthday month to you! Take care everyone, Dena |
Hi all. Not doing too good here but I'm going to say I'm still making my challenge (though barely). Today will be Day 13 I believe. You people are what keeps me going so please keep posting. (I know I haven't been but these are the times I need you all to post the most).
Good going to all those you have continued on their challenges successfully, and to those of you you haven't, please just come back and try again. Later! |
Well im not too happy about yesterday so im starting over again. I made it to day 4, so thats a success.

Done with day 6. Yay! And today was the hardest day so far, so I'm glad I made it.
Good luck, everyone! Dena |
