Yes! Day 21 logging food was good. Done with that one!

Day 5 exercise was also good. 2 pauses left.

New challenge now that I'm back to logging my food regularly.

I'm going to keep my calories under 1800. This is a level 1 for me.

I'm finally getting my calorie intake under control again and normally I keep my calories around the 1600 mark, but since I had a bad month or so, I'm taking it slow. It actually seems to be working with the higher calorie count for some reason. I've lost 2.5 pounds in the last couple of weeks. I actually saw 184.5 this morning, but I refuse to count it until the .5 goes away!

:welcome: to Trob, EviesMommy and Lucky! I'm happy to see we're getting more people here!

Red - great job, :bravo: Glad to hear you're getting into it again. We all know how hard that can be but I know you can do this :yes:! Good luck!

Sushi - sorry to hear about that missed call, but like Red said, maybe it's a good thing! You might be waiting for just the right job to come along.

Hi to everyone else! Got to run and take my son to work. Have a great day everone! :wave:

way to go dj!!!
 

trob, dj, thanks for the support! I need it big time....Thursday morning here just after 5. I'm going to try to get a grip on things again...get my equilibrium back...get moving forward again...I do feel sick though so the forward movement may have to be in baby steps. See you all around and good luck on your challenges! :wave:

And dj, Congratulations on the food logging challenge!!

Three cheers for you! :bravo: :bravo: :bravo:

Great stuff!!! :cp: :woo: :encore: :woo: :cp:

Yep, I guess I only have one puse day left... shucks, but, I am not on call till next weekend!! And tonight i figured out how to walk the 3 miles right close to my house! Now, to figure out not to sweat and get a good stiff walk done!;)

dj- way to go with your food log and exercies and good luck with the 1800 cals.

red- i hope things are going better for you today. when i read your post yesterday i was SO confused when you said that it was 5 on thursday morning. today is thursday for me. then i saw where you live, wow.

pink- sorry to hear about your migrane, but good for you on being able to push through and stay on target!!

lucky- when you figure out how to walk and not sweat please let me know!! temps here have been 105+ for over a week with the humid. at around 100%. good ol' arkansas weather.

i made it another night without giving in to my midnight muchie monster. so that is two down and 19 more today!

hope everyone has a great day and keep!!

whoops, not 19 more today....19 more to go!!!!!

Morning all!

Day 6 - exercise - good, 2 pauses left, level 3

Day 1 - calories under 1800 - good, 1 pause left, level 1

Trob - good job slaying that midnight munchie monster!

Lucky - good luck with the not sweating! I've been walking now for 1 1/2 years and ALWAYS break a sweat! Oh well, that's what showers are for. Good going with the walk though!

Pink - Congrats on having a healthy binge! How do you keep going with a migraine? Mine seem to knock me on my butt!

Red - Sure hope your feeling better! Keep up those baby steps, they still lead you where you want to go.

Hi to everyone else out there! :wave:

Have a great day all!

Day 9/21. Still on track, but today is a tough day and I came here to get some pep talk before doing my weights and bike. Eating right but no obvious change on the scale yet--the good news is that it's not going up!

WOW, red--I've felt that way so many times! Especially the part where, even after you get yourself to exercise, you just wanna sit down in the middle of the sidewalk and take a nap or go home. You did GREAT and are an inspiration!

lucy and evie--->WELCOME! I'm trying to exercise 6 days a week too, trying to make it a "First Thing in the Morning Priority"

trob-- Also welcome! You picked another of my challenges, Late night eating. That's gotta be THE toughest for me. It is actually getting easier, but it ain't EASY yet.

Wow - miss a day or so, and not only do we get a new thread (thanks RED!), but it is hopping! :cb: :cb:

Welcome to all the new voices here. Good luck on your journey.

My journey somehow circled back to places I have been before, and thought/hoped/prayed would never visit again. So, it is time to get my head out of my nether regions, pull up my bootstraps (hey, what a gyp - my boots don't have straps :fr:), and get going in the right direction. No excuses, no side trips, no self medicating.

On the plus side, exercise is still going well. I am enjoying running again, and hope to be doing a 5k before fall. I also went to my TOPS meeting tonight, despite knowing I had a gain. I didn't have time to stay for the meeting, but did go and weigh in, face the music for my bad choices, and get some motivation for next week.

My challenges are as follows:

1) No soda

2) Healthy eating - this means basically following my menu, staying under 2000 calories, avoiding fast food, and no chocolate (hereafter known as the unhealthy food called :censored:) accept for a few low cal/low fat forms I allow myself, as I do not "binge" on them.

3) Daily exercise with abs/core done at home.

All start tomorrow, 7/21/06. All are level 3s. I know, most of you have seen these before. One of these times I will get it right.

Have a great evening all. Keep up the fight. :wave:

Just checking in here. Did my 3 miles after I got done giving my riding lesson, I worked all day today so I was already done in, but, now, after getting my walk in, I am revitalized!!!! Yay!!! I just wish I could get my behind out of bed in the morning and walk then... oh well, perhaps, that should be my next challenge!!!!:)

Completing Day 5 on my "max 15 cheddars per day" challenge. I'm proud of myself today... we were going hiking, and I wanted to pack some cheddars to have for a snack later. I put a dozen in a bag, and when I reached into the box for the last three, I noticed that there were maybe 10 cheddars left. I was tempted to grab all of them, but I only took three and saved the rest for tomorrow. Doing good, eh? :lol:

So relieved, too... I got a call about a new 2-3 week temp assignment today, so it's back to work on Monday. Not that I really feel like it, but I'm too broke to even think about not working... The location is great, so the commute will be bearable, and that's a great plus. :)

way to go everyone, you are all such an inspiration to me. i am so glad that i found this group.
one more night down.....18 more to go.
