Hello everyone. Just a short stop in here to say heh!

I'm going to be coming back soon, have missed you all and the discipline. I've been slipping a bit too much.

sweet pea, Apple, dj, trob, Bonita, thanks for keeping things going!

Hi everyone. I'm finally back from vacation and with time to write something. I added three pounds over the two weeks I was gone, but I'm still thankful it was only three (Mom's home cooking). Now to get rid of them before they permanently adhere to my thighs!

New goals at level 3:
Calories <1500
Candy <100 calories
Walking - 8,000 steps
Food log every day

This week is going to be such a challenge. Too much Halloween candy and snacks at the office, plus a party to attend. Hopefully limiting the candy to 100 calories/day will allow me to have a bit but not binge.

Good luck to everyone this week.

Yes, still here, just been busy with Halloween with 3 kids! Anyways, I WILL be back! I will start this week for sure, I just have not had time to even log my calories.

Hope everyone is doing well!

Looks like everybody is really busy right now. Hope everyone has a great Halloween tomorrow.

Day 1 success all around.

OK let me write this down first....No Beer Day 14 done, no pauses left. Water day 19 no Pauses left, Off south beach, will start again tomorrow!!
Even though I didn't complete the South Beach challenge, I did finish the 14 day Phase one, and I lost some weight with that! I actually stuck to a diet for 2 weeks and I am proud! I am going to do another week of phase one and then see if phase 2 works for me. Yes, everyone seems busy with Halloween, me too! I'll be glad when it's all over....

Well done everyone on your goals

I'm still having problems with my ankle / achilles and the exercise has gone nowhere. I am doing it every second day so I am going to have to restart my goals...

Ashley103 · 11-01-2006, 08:55 PM

Hard to resist all the Halloween goodies today.

Day 2 for everything:
Calories <1500
Candy <100 calories
Walking - 8,000 steps
Logged food

Apple - you're in the home stretch with the water challenge and the beer challenge is following right behind.

Sweet Pea - sorry to hear you're still having problems with your ankle. I hope it gets better soon.

sweet_pea · 11-02-2006, 03:36 AM

Ashley! thanks for your support. I went for a walk today with a friend and our dogs. I'm going to try dancing tmrw and see how I go. If my ankle survives that I will start my 21 says over

I'm impressed you had <100 calories from candy. That would be a major challenge for me LOL

redballoon · 11-02-2006, 04:02 PM

Hold the fort, people! Please!

sweet_pea · 11-02-2006, 04:22 PM

But it's getting heavy

Just wanted to check in with you all. I will start challenges tomorrow. My leg is better, in fact I've been exercising all week. Just didn't get the calorie logging done.

I think I want to change the way I'm doing things. One of my problems is that I'm really burned out on counting every calorie! I'm trying to think of how exactly I'm going to work this. I'll try to come up with something by tomorrow. If I don't, I'll at least get the exercise thing going again.

Hang in there everyone!
