Way to go!! curly!!! :cp: I am waiting to hear you got through the day! :cb: :dancer:

getting in the veggies.........good sign
 

Hi all. Just halfway through my next Day 1 here. I have a feeling I can do it today. Have been eating well, fresh pineapple, blueberries AND just had some fresh boiled pumpkin. Once I start getting the veggies in, it usually turns out to be a good day. It's when I'm eating sugar from early on that I usually snowball!

Heh, where is everyone?!?! All celerating the Fourth I take it. Curly, you make it through yet? Sub, where are you? jkg, Caro, Trixi?!?! :wave: Come back! Shane!! mscat, I saw your week challenge. Don't give up on us though?! ;)

well guess what? I got busy clearing junk out of my house, and ripped out a closet in my bedroom.. and didnt get my walk in...

So i will be starting over today... so close..

No way curly!! :eek: did you take your free day?!

Hi Everyone!

I`m So glad the weekend is over! Thank God the next big holiday in this house is Thanksgiving.

Well lets see, the weekend was not a total loss. I ate pretty good at the BBQ`s, with the exception of some chips and dip... got up to day 11, Sunday I even mixed it up with 36 min Elliptical, 25 minutes step aerobics.

Yesterday though, I just couldn`t get it in. I`m keeping in mind it was a holiday and I can give myself a little break. ;) But I will be back to it today. So I guess I`ll take my free day for yesterday, and if I can get back in gear (I will!!!) I`ll be on day 12.

I`ll be back tonight to let you all know how I make out!

I made it through day 12! I passed up all sweets at all 3 cook-outs this weekend. Woo-hoo! It was hard, but I did it and I am sooo proud of myself! :)

no.. we have freebies? well I will be starting over today either way .. lol :o

I had a very active weekend! Yesterday, I went swimming and had a great time until my son puked in the pool:barf: but other than that I had a great fourth of July. Today, I will walk 4 miles to wrap up day 8! Good luck all :D

Sub

I can't even remember what day I am on and I went alittle crazy with the alcohal this weekend and ate some pasta. So Day one for me again. I am not including the alcohal in this one cause I don't think I will make it at this point. May be will do it for the second 21 day challenge. So starting today and for the next 21 I WILL

drink my water (at least eight glasses a day)
eat right, including not skipping meals
go to curves five days a week
take my vitamins

Redballon - You asked how I lost all the weight...hmmm I ate NO carbs but good carbs (carbs hate my body). I totally eliminated breads, pasta, rice and pototoes. Ate tons of veggies, chicken and fish and had was careful on my fat intake. Drank lots of water and had positive thoughts. I went from a size to a 10 and then came Christmas! I gained about ten pounds over those holiday's but now I am back on track. I also did the walk away the pounds videos regularly. Right now I am only doing Curves cause my dvd went with the dumbass but when I get another one I will start again. I dont care for anything sweet and didn't miss that but at first it was really hard giving up the carbs but after awhile I got use to it and now when I cheat and eat them I get a huge tummy ache, so I really have to be craving badly in order to give in.

I weighed in at Curves and I hate there scale! It was a huge differnce from mine. I don't know what to do use their scale or mine? who's is right? At least our measuring tapes are the same :) I have lost inches and thats what matters right?

ditto no bread, no pasta, no white flour... and watch the sugar... good carbs, wheat flour pita's and wheat wraps... thats what i have been doing.. cuz once u cut them out u start to not crave them... BUT as soon as u eat them the cravings come back....


I went to my workout today & walked so i am starting my 2nd 21 days

day 1!!!

Heh, curly. Just saw you posted. Don't know if you caught the rule change but, yeah, somewhere along the way, I revised the rules to allow for ONE free day on your first round of 21. Each successful round will give you another free day. So, I say you completed your first 21 okay, :bravo: :cp: :cheer: :cp: and now will have two free days on this one. Strategically, I say, go back to start rather than using your freebies early on. So, tell me, what exactly is your new challenge?

Ok, will write more later. :wave:

Curly- 20 days of exercise is a great accomplishment! Good for you! I think you`ll have no problem getting through 21 (now 20!) more.

I did great today, 40 min Elliptical, 20 minutes step.... so I`m gonna start fresh at day 1 also. It`s so much more motivating for me to start back at 1 than to think how many days I`ve already done. I`m happy to take 11 as my first shot at it! :) Theres no more Holidays in the next 20 days, so no more excuses for me!

Tomorrow begins my 3rd week of these changes. Never really made it past 2 weeks before. So far I`ve made it past a food filled Holiday, pizza on my table and PMS. I hope I`m as strong in the next 2 weeks!! :)

jkg- Great control!! I try to keep "ok" sweet things around or I`d totally go nuts on a sugar binge. Slimfast snack bars, 100 calorie packs (the oreos are great!) and I`m finding more and more healthier choices everyday that I love. I keep goodies for the kids and I`m not one bit tempted cause I have my own portion controlled treats. My grocery bill has gone up, but totally worth every penny. I just realized while typing it`s been at least a month without a reeses peanut butter cup! :D At this TOM I`d be swimming in them right now. lol

Red- Hope you`re doing great!!

Everyone, have a great night! I`ll check in tomorrow.
