Hi y'all,
Been an incredibly busy day here. I've sanded, plastered, washed, cleaned, cleared, ironed and folded. I'm clearing out the spare room for when DS1 arrives on Friday night. I'm also painting in the dining room. Tomorrow will be just as busy. I've got too many books. I think I need to find a book exchange and pass them along. I've also been sorting out the boys stuff and have some boxes ready for when the DS1 arrives and he can go through them and decide on what to keep and what to chuck. DS2 has a small box as I chucked all his stuff at him some time ago. I just found another couple of things of his. Food and water have been good this week, however I think I am hanging on to the water. Feel a bit waterlogged at times and the treadmill at the gym today was not funny. It seemed that everything wiggled and jiggled. *sigh* this does get frustrating from time to time. See you |
Kickin' us up
Hey, where is everybody?:dancer: :gossip:

Mornin chickies ...... WW tonight and I have not done that well this week .......I have been eating foods that are high in points ......... not counting my points and not even listening to Paul McKenna's advice. I keep thinking abouty it though so maybe someday I will!! :D
On signing up for it I think they were supposed to send tips each day. The only one I have got by e-mail so far is this one. Maybe it will help .......... it certainly cannot do any harm :D DAY 7: Smell yourself slim 'Nothing is more memorable than a smell. One scent can be unexpected, momentary and fleeting, yet conjure up a childhood summer beside a lake in the mountains; another, a moonlit beach; a third, a family dinner of pot roast and sweet potatoes during a myrtle-mad August in a Midwestern town.' DIANE ACKERMAN According to Dr Richard Bandler, taking a few moments to smell each bite of food before putting it in your mouth alerts your brain to what it is you are about to eat. Your brain then triggers the correct digestive enzymes to be released into both your saliva and your stomach, and whatever you are eating will be digested quickly and efficiently. Today, take the time to smell each bite of food before you eat it. You'll find it will not only enhance your ability to enjoy each mouthful, you'll feel better afterwards as well. What do you do if you don't like the smell? Don't eat it! On the first show Paul Mc Kenna did an experiment when three volunteers ate a cooked breakfast and enjoyed it. Then came back the second day to do it again, only this time blind folded. Without seeing the food, their brains told them when they were full and they left a lot, plus didn't find it tasted as good. Gotta go ...... have a good day all |
Just putting us up to the top . . .

Hello Ladies,
Where does the time go? Today I had jury duty. Showed up the the person on trial didn't. We'll I did my civic duty. Going to try SB again. Seems like I'll do ok for a few days, then I get stressed at work and eat everything, then try to get back on track. Oh, what a cycle. Mooz - I forgot I had some hypnsosis tapes. Think I'll look for them tonight. Give me something to listen to on my morning commute. Hal - Hang in there. I know it has to be frustrating. I'm totally frustrated right now. I just can't seem to get back on any track, besides that i'm PMSing and that doesn't help. Shad - Do you have a 1/2 book store there or anything similar. I have a friend who sells alot of her books. You've been a busy person, wish i had your energy. Cat - Hope the family is feeling better. Nita - Hope you did good at your bowling tournament. You know your trainer is right, the key is exercise and food intake. But why is it so hard to do? Hope everyone is having a good evening. |
Mornin chickies :hug: ............... went to WW and I had put on 1 pound but I actually thought it would be more so I don't feel so bad about that. :carrot: Got a sore throat and a cold now so not feeling the best in that respect. It too shall pass :hug: ....... just as well that was a virtual hug though ;)
Have a good day all. |
Happy Hump Day Girls!
Good news, I lost the 4 pounds I gained last week, plus one. That adds up to one pound for 2 weeks of effort, but I'll take it. I am just glad I paid up my WW fees until mid April so I don't quit. I knew it would not be easy. I am 100% on the plan, do need to exercise more, and will promise not to give up. I don't like the alternative! Hey, did I mention there is no day like a snow day? That's me today! Life is good at the moment. More later! |
Congrats on the 5 pound loss Halgal :carrot:
Paul McKenna's tip for today ............ Are you thirsty? 'Water its living strength first shows, When obstacles its course oppose.' JOHANN WOLFGANG VON GOETHE Did you know that when you feel hungry, there is a 75 percent chance you are actually dehydrated? This is why one of the most valuable things you can do is to make sure you have a fresh glass of water before sitting down to eat. One woman who lost 3 stone using my system credited the majority of the weight loss to this one distinction. As she said, "I had always heard that it was healthy to drink at least eight glasses of water a day, but I could never get myself to do it. By simply drinking a glass of water before eating, I've increased my water intake effortlessly. After doing it for a few weeks, I realised how often I'd been misinterpreting my body's need for water as hunger for food. I now eat much less than I used to, but I never feel like I'm denying myself anything. And when I am hungry, I make sure to eat what I love and love eating it!" Make a commitment right now to make sure you always have easy access to filtered or distilled water and to drink a glass every time before you eat. You'll be glad you did! |
Hooray, Hal!
1day--most hypnosis tapes say not to listen to while driving. Be sure to check for safety. Everyone seems pretty much recovered. |
Hi chickies ....... here is Paul McKenna's tip for today .........
See yourself slim ‘Visualization is daydreaming with a purpose.’ BO BENNETT Just as athletes rehearse success in their minds over and over again, you need to imagine exactly how you will be when you are thinner. By constantly thinking about how you ultimately want to look, you are programming your mind to make you more and more that way. Do this simple exercise several times today: Imagine how good you will look when you are a little bit thinner than you are right now. Float into that thinner you. See through their eyes, hear through their ears and feel how good it feels. Now, imagine how good you will look when you are a little bit thinner than that. Once again, float into that thinner you and enjoy the experience. Keep doing this until you can easily imagine being your ideal weight. The more you do it, the easier it becomes. |
movin' on
Well, chicks, I this whole weekend planning has been truly disorganized. So I thought I had a nice relaxed morning and no rush to get to MO. Then got call at 10 to 9--could I be there by 9:30? (It's about a 2 1/2 hour drive to Clinton from here). Well, I was annoyed, but decidedto do it anyway, so will not be checking in until sunday.
Have a good weekend! |
Todays tip......
What you practice, you become ‘Always act as if you have already achieved what it is you are setting out to accomplish.’ JOE D. BATTEN How do you think you’ll be different when you’ve lost the weight you want to lose? Will you be happier? Have more energy? Feel better about yourself? While all of these things are possible, they become more likely when you begin to practice them even before you’ve lost the weight. Want to be happy, energised and filled with positive self-regard? Then practice, practice, practice! Have a happy, healthy weekend. |
A quick note from the Super 8 loby--having a wonderful time!

Hello Ladies,
This week has gone by so fast. Still no rain here and we're having lots of wind. Lots of fire alerts. Cat - No worries, I take the train in. So i'll be listening to the hypnosis tapes on my ride in. Have fun this weekend. Hal - WTG - I think paying for the program up front is a good idea. Makes you stick to the program. Can't believe you all got snow. Mooz - thanks for all the tips. I really need to work on drinking my water. Shad and Nita - Hope you all are doing ok. |
Hi Ladies,
Again I have not gotten notification of the new posts. I did go into my profile and made sure I had it set up. Mooz -- I never heard of this McKenna person but I appreciate your sharing this information with us. I remember a long time ago I did attend one of those hypnosis seminars in a group setting. And I vaguely remember the person making similar statements like "see yourself thin" , etc. I do know that I eat a lot of times and I really am not hungry. I guess I have been programmed to eat breakfast, lunch and dinner because that is how it has always been! Hal Gal --CONGRATULATIONS ON YOUR 5 LB. WEIGHT LOSS! OUTSTANDING! I, myself, have not decided what I should do to get back on track. Wed. evening we had a block meeting and it lasted until it was dark. I was walking back with one of my neighbors and tripped getting from the street to the sidewalk. Fortunately I landed on my hands and one knee. Luckily I have been doing those weight-bearing exercises and didn't break anything. Wouldn't you know it my left elbow had a good scrape and that is my bowling arm. My right knee really took most of the fall and it is still really black and blue. I did manage to go bowling yesterday and didn't do too badly. I had to give up the gym on Friday because I knew I just couldn't manage it. One of the ladies in my exercise class lives just 10 minutes from me and we have decided to go to the TOPS meeting next Tuesday just to check it out. It is much cheaper than WW and basically it is a "support" group. Perhaps if I have a buddy I can depend on, it will work. My first success at losing weight was 36 years ago and it was with a TOPS program. Again, I am sorry I am not being my old self, but thanks to Mooz sharing all that info it has given me a lot to think about. Hopefully you are all enjoying your weekend! Anita |
