Okay-a little whine :( --TOM and a nasty cold both came and slapped me this morning :stars: I feel like crud- sore throat, stuffed sinus', pounding head, sweating, cramps-I just want to go to bed! I am a big baby today!:bb:
I did drink all my water and drug myself through the grocery store with the 2 little ones, which on a good day is enough exercise, so I am counting it as such for today-Day 4. I still have had no soda-WOOHOO! Day 9! Well, since dd is done with dinner dishes, I am going to go soak in the tub! Hope you all have a great evening!! Kathy :bb: |
Fancy, if I were near you I'd deliver chicken soup and a nice heating pad for cramps (if you have them). But I'm not, so maybe you cna call on a family member or a friend? Chicken soup really helps, both physically and psychically!
Get well soon. |
Day 7 done!
Morning everyone! My day 7 is finished, and tomorrow I will make sure I get to Day 8, not like last week, heh heh heh.
Redballoon - You are so right about other's days seeming to go faster. But for me, since I picked a challenge that I finish in about 15 minutes, my days don't seem to go on TOO long. Next time I would like to pick a challenge more like yours, where I have to be disciplined the WHOLE day. Doing situps each morning is not bad, but I want to try to give up chocolate for 21 days. Then I'll see what I am really made of. Eek. Oh, also - you said that you hope you never reward a child with food. I am right there with you on that. I have been fighting that most of my adult life. I know my mom meant well, but she was only doing what she knew. Justkeepswimming and curlylocks - What exactly does fish oil do? Vanessa - I totally agree with Redballoon, pizza shouldn't be so guilty an indulgence. There are many good things in it, especially if you are wise about what you have on it. You said you eat healthfully most of the time, so that is good, too. Your body can handle a little bit of cheating when it's generally well-nourished. I would beat yourself up too much. Fancyfrog - So many people I know have colds right now! I wonder what's in the air. Seriously, people from DC, Seattle, Boston, and me in New York. I hope you feel better soon. Colds are the worst. Yesterday I got some photos back that I had been meaning to develop, and I realized that I really don't hate looking at photos of myself anymore! I put several up on my fridge, and that's something I have never done before. I'm really happy with how I look now, and the pictures just make me smile and smile. I used to put up pics of my nieces, and if I was in the shot, I would artfully arrange them to cover myself up. But no longer! |
Hello, Hello, Hello!!! :wave: :wave: :wave:
Day 8 today!! :cp: :dance: :flow1: I'm feeling great!! Chaps: The Fish oil I take is in capsule form, just I case you were gagging at the thought. Fish oil has the Omega-3 vitamins that are supposed to be really good for you. Curly: I also thought about doing a charm bracelet. I have seen some italian charms online they look really cool. I was thinking about doing charms for weight loss goals and other goals, like exercising x times a week, or no more soda, etc. Red: I learned not to make it too complicated from my first unsuccessful goal. I will keep it simple, and by doing a separate challenge if I mess up it won't mess up my other challenge. Also I am really charged up and want to take advantage of the momentum. KWIM? Everybody else congradulations on your successes!! :hat: :cp: :bravo: :encore: Catch ya'll later, Tina :dancer: :goodvibes :cloud9: :high: :crazy: |
day 20 done! lol i was procrastinating so bad about comming to work that i even went and did my workout before comming here!
|
That charm brcelet is a good idea. A new charm for goals reached! I'm hoping to reward myself with clothes however. I was going through my closet yesterday and I found TWENTY! 20! pairs of pants that don't fit. Most are from before I had the kids too, so 9 years old. I can't get rid of clothes that don't fit anymore hoping that I'll lose weight and wear them again. I was able to let go of 7 pairs, they're off to Good Will. They are not exactly fashionable anymore so I could handle it. I'm giving myself until the end of the year fot the rest of the lot.
So.....how many pairs of pants are in YOUR closet? Just curious... :lol: Day 8 in the bag...and look! :hat: 1 day with out beer! :dance: Have a great week-end! |
Day 6 is done! I stayed within my points and have just finished 30 mins on my gazelle.
Great job everyone! Keep up the great work, you can do it! This is just a quote i read today but i really liked it so here it is: "It's not what you become in life that counts, it what you have to overcome to get there." Catch you later! Vanessa |
Hi all, sorry I haven't been around. Our internet connection went MIA for a few days, and my husband finally got it working late last night but I couldn't get in a post because 3FC was misbehaving for me. So, I'm behind again. I read from where I posted last, and I'm glad everyone is doing so well! Keep it up, girls! Sorry that I'm not replying to every single post, but it would take forever and mostly be irrelevant anyway since I was offline for the better part of 3 days.
As for my own challenge, Day 17 done! This challenge seems to be going really fast now. I managed to lose 3 pounds this week, although I don't know how. I am really missing going to the gym. I WILL go tomorrow. I want to get in 2 hours tomorrow - some good cardio and some weights. I have a couple of tests next week so tomorrow might be my only chance for the whole week :( . I wish there were more hours in the day. I remember reading a story a couple years ago about a woman who only needed about an hour of sleep a day - that would be great. I could get everything done if only I didn't need to sleep! |
Day 8!
Hurrah! I can finally say I finished Day 8!
Where's Redballoon? It seems it's been a while since she's posted. I hope everything is ok. |
Hello, everyone, Chaps, hello. Sorry. No time to write now. Wrapping up Day 15 here! More later! :wave:
|
21 days!!!!!!!
I am moving good this morning! got my workout done... Oh and its day 21!!!!! :cheer: time to start all over!!!
RE: the fish oil:: You want to increase your overall health and energy level. You want to prevent heart disease, cancer, depression and Alzheimer's. Perhaps you also want to treat rheumatoid arthritis, diabetes, ulcerative colitis, Raynaud's disease and a host of other diseases. One of the most important things you can do for all of these is increase your intake of the omega-3 fats found in fish oil and cod liver oil, |
Hello
Tomorrow is Day 1 Your challenge is super. See me love yellowsub |
Day 9 done! And no beer! :hat: :hat:
I have to agree with chaps, it's not too difficult to to get off your butt 15 minutes a day, compared resisting some temptation all day (and night) long. Next challenge will be more of a diet related thing. I had a good eating day yesterday too. And quite a bit of walking. I haven't weighed myself today, but I'll probably be dissapointed. It's TOM for me too. It came early and without warning, but I'm not feeling crampy or bloated or anything. I might be a bit snippier than usual. The kids get the brunt of that. Sorry, kids. Have a great day! |
starting out on Day 16 here....
It's the start of Day 16 here. And hey, it was my 1,600th post on 3fc today! Nothing much happening that I care to speak of... Not feeling good about my challenge anymore because I am gaining weight again just because the challenge seems to not be enough to lose on. I need to exercise more and haven't been. I simply eat too much food. I am really annoyed with being so short and having such a healthy appetite or being so orally fixated or whatever the heck the problem is. I could always take up smoking again (just joking). That kept my weight down but was gross. I can't say, oh, what the heck, better to be heavy, because I have to lighten up for my riding. I look horrible on a horse! Oh well, feeling so pissy here. Hate it when I'm not getting in real kick-A workouts. That's why I haven't been writing, because I've been so ticked at myself and things. I said I would start counting calories but I just don't want to...whine, whine. Will have to wait until I'm feeling a bit more positive and inspired...which is going to be soon! :mad: :yes:
Apple -- Excellent on the challenge. You already have over a week done. Like the no beer extra part too. Keep up the GREAT work! :cheer: As for pants in the closet, I don't know how many I have. Maybe 5 or 6. It is depressing to see them, depressing because I am no where near fitting into them. Hard to imagine. Then again, I was much more active back then and smoked like a chimney. Still.... Yellowsub -- Welcome! :wave: I'm glad you found us. Are you Austrian or from somewhere else? Glad to have someone else on here in the kilogram mode. :lol: Tell us more about you and tell us about your challenge. What are you doing? curly -- Does this mean 21 days is over or are you still getting through the day. I am waiting to give you the flashing lights! Chaps -- A big hand for you. :cp: Thanks for asking where I was the other night. gray -- Long time no see! Glad you're checking in and glad to hear you're hooked up again. Great going on the weight loss! :woo: I hear you on the not enough hours. But, heck, we're human. We should try to just enjoy what we can do more, right? I have to remember this when I don't get to the gym but spend the time slothing around my place. Oh well.... Keep it up, gray! :sunny: vanessa -- So glad to hear you're doing well with your challenge. And I love that quote. The gazelle workouts sound like they're moving right along too. I wish you continued smooth sailing! :spin: swimming -- Did you start your second part of your challenge, or rather, your double challenge? Tell us how it's going! carla -- How goes it? I don't have MSN but I have Yahoo IM and use that. It'd be fun to chat. How are you doing? Did you have a wine-filled night the other evening? So, come on, not too much debauchery, especially when you didn't finish the challenge. :nono: You should be trying, trying, trying to achieve liftoff again. Debauchery days are for when you are resting on your laurels!! :coach: Up and at 'em!!! fancy -- How are you? Little bit quiet from you. Hope you're feeling better. Are you still managing to stay on your challenge? Good luck! :goodluck: |
means 21 days done!
