- - 21-Day Challenge!! -- counting on new habits!! (https://www.3fatchicks.com/forum/support-groups/64102-21-day-challenge-counting-new-habits.html)

Ive been thinking about going back to phase 1 of SB, tho i havent ate any pasta, white flour, rice or bread since march... and only a very small amount of natural sugar think i need a kick start on my program.. ive stayed OP for phase 2 but just not losing like i want too ...

Good morning. Thursday, here. No time to write now. Last time I did that I almost missed my train. It's the start of Day 19 here, which I may well take as a pause day. We'll see. If I do, I will NOT consider it a pigout, anything-goes kind of day! :nono: The reason I do the no-sugar, no-processed flour thing is because I just tend to pack in the unnecessary calories with them. It's not a low-carb thing at all, although the complex carbs I eat means it's harder for me to overeat. Still, the weight doesn't come off..I wasn't expecting it too...because I haven't been exercising that much, and I don't have a calorie limit and I've allowed myself to drink. Still, the discipline is what I was really looking for as well, and getting out of lazy habits, such as vacuuming the shelves of the convenience store at whim! So, I know this challenge has been very good for me! Okay, gotta run. Will try to get in later and talk more.

mez -- One thing, I think I may be similar to you with the getting-scared thing. This can be quite a serious thing and something you are going to have to whip! I think it is a fear of certain things, certain changes that you are bringing about or anticipating. It could be a fear of success or change. It could just be that scary kind of tingly anticipation that feels both good and bad and makes us want to hide out with the known world, our known friends and the comfortable dynamics of it and them. Check out these links and see if anything hits home. In any case, they're interesting. Hang in here with us in any case and we will help you at as you break into the 100s and go into lower and lower numbers. Like someone said, look ahead with joy, not trepidation. Picture yourself at a low weight number and see that things will be okay, if not the same (of course not the same!) but nonetheless good and moreso, you can do it! You are changing into a butterfly, and waiting to spread your wings. Have the courage to take flight!! :sunny:

Ugghhh. I didn't step last night so I'm using my pause day. I don't know why I didn't. I wasn't a couch potato or anything. I did some cleaning, paid some bills and read a book.Maybe because the TV wasn't on for a change....I did complete another no beer... :hat: :hat: :hat: :hat: :hat:

I could really use on right now though. I'm having a yucky day, meaning I don't feel especially good about myself, physically and mentally. I have misplaced a rental movie and I can't find it anywhere!!!! It's driving me insane. So I'm just roaming around the house, cleaning and sorting and hoping it will turn up. Thank goodness the kids seem to be mellow and able to entertain themselves.
Well hopefully by tonight it turns up, or I have a neat house or both!
Hasta manana!

I'm still a little confused on this..

Like could it be like giving something up for 21 days or am I way off center here?

Whoops Made a mistake today is Day 15 not 16. So Day 15 a success. I walked 1 mile, lifted I worked my abs, back, shoulders, triceps and biceps today.

Red – Thank you for the URL’s they were extremely helpful and I seen myself in a few things. I am going to fight this and win!!! HUGZZ

Apple Blossom – Sorry to hear about your missed sleep. Oh boy do I know those days of not thinking enough of myself. UGH!!! Take a look at your kids…. I bet they think you’re the best mommy in the world.  Maybe that is why they were being mellow… giving mommy a break. I hope the movie turns up. Did you check under the couch?

carla49 – WOOOOOOOOOOOOO HOOOOOOOOOO ONELANDER!!! 

Curlylocks- Your still moving good for you!!!

Vanessa – Just love that frog!!! Those days are just hopping along!

Sillyfluff – Yup that is right! You decide what you want to do.

hoping for a newbie...

SillyFluff -- Hello! :wave: That's right. As mez said, you decide what you want to add or take out of your daily routine. It can be about food, drink, exercise, behavior, psychological, anything, BUT you have to do it every single day for 21 days. You get one free day the first challenge and it's like a pause day, where you resume counting from the number you were on. Okay, clear on that now? Hope to see you here soon! :yes:

Hey everyone, Day 12 done! And it's really working! Yesterday I had to get dressed up for an audition. I have these great black slacks, which fit snugly, but there was that watery, flabby overhang at the waistband that I felt I had to mask with whatever top I chose. BUT NOT YESTERDAY! That flabby overhang is GONE CIAO LATER OUTTA HERE!!!! I really was stunned. I have been doing abs religiously, and thought I felt a difference. But to actually see a difference, I was so excited. RIght before I went in to sing, I went into a restroom to check myself over in the mirror, and I thought, I really look the way I imagine myself looking at my best. It was pretty amazing.

I hope everyone else can find something today to bring them happiness.

Chaps- That is great!

Way to go chaps...good job! :cp:

Ok my first 21-day challenge will be...*drum roll*...walking everyday.
Starting tomrrow since its raining YET again. :(

groundhogging Day 19...

Good morning. It's Day 19 again here because I took yesterday off as my last pause day. Had too much...but it could have been a lot worse. I'm paying for it today with a constantly running nose, always what happens to me when I eat too much sugar and bread. Added incentive to stay off the stuff!

SillyFluff -- I am concerned about your challenge. If rain keeps you from doing it, you will be going back to Day 1 a lot, I would expect. Is the rain just you putting off the first day, and you're going to get your raingear out for the others? I hope so. Otherwise, rethink your challenge so you can be sure to have a good shot at doing it EVERY day! :yes:

Chaps -- WOW! :woo: What a great feeling that must be!! I bet your really sounded magnificent after you saw that in the mirror, eh?! Oh, God, I would love to be rid of the fat around my middle. I have been plagued with it since childhood it seems, always having to try to hide the roll. It just never seems to go away. I know people a whole lot fatter than I am and they have tiny waists! It's just not fair!! :cry: Well, you sure have been putting in the work, so good for you! Hurrah! :cp: :cp:

mez -- Okay, mez, clear on the recount! :lol: How'd the day go? Are you NOW on Day 16? Sure, hope so! :yes:

vanessa -- A full 10 down, eh?! Fantastic!! :sunny: You're at the hump now! Come on down!! :cheer:

curly -- You've got quite a challenge going this time. More power to you! :strong:

carla -- Glad to hear you're back in Onederland!! :sunny:

Apple -- Too bad about the misstep! Did you find that video? But great going on the no beer! :cp:

diamond -- Did you get through another day?! Belly aching is "good pain" ;) !! Keep it up and take heart at Chaps' post!

1nceagain -- SBD sounds great! Hope to see you counting the days with us soon!

swimming -- How are you doing? Day 11 down and Day 3 on no sugar! Great stuff! :cb: You are doing so well. Did you do the office walking? Yes, who cares what your boss thinks. She shouldn't be barging in on people anyhow! ;) Actually, she may be so impressed with your innovativeness that she will think of you for the next big job AND promotion!

gray -- Did you make it through yet!? Tell us when so we can give you the winner's treatment!

I would love to try this, how can I start. I really need help. Motivation please
