Me three!

hey ladies,
i hear ya on the always wanting to eat while studying! i just get so anxious about tests and school in general and when i don't have time to work out or do something for me, food is definitely something that is comforting and quick! right now i'm trying to tell myself that i don't really want that other half of the hershey bar. i feel good right now, but it would just be calming.
i'm nervous about weighing in tomorrow. i think that because i have been focusing on not eating meat and eating less dairy, i haven't really been worried about much else (like drinking water and working out). i definitely need to work on that more! one of my roomates has dance dance revolution. has anyone ever tried it? i put it on the workout mode, and it really makes you sweat!!
well good luck to everyone on the weigh in tomorrow~!!

Well girls I’ve missed you! I’ve been sick with the crud and haven’t felt like doing much of anything lately. I have unfortunately felt like stuffing my face and not exercising. I was not pleased with what I saw on the scales this morning. I’ll start with weigh-in tomorrow and just deal with the consequences – ugh. I hope to be popping in more regularly but will be busy in the coming weeks with holidays, work and a portion of the CPA exam on 11/22.
Thanksgiving – I’m skipping my father’s side of the family (hunters, dairy farmers, general ick). I may go to my Mother’s side but would probably just take a hearty side dish that I could eat and that hopefully everyone else would enjoy. Some of the extended family thinks I’m a whack job (he they probably thought that long before I was vegan!) but most are supportive.

Jill – Thanks for starting another of these!

Tigger – I refused to partake in dissection when I was in school. I talked to the teacher and requested an alternative assignment – I’m sure you could do the same. There is no reason for dissection to occur when we can learn just as much on the computer or in books.

Haleygirl – I’m also doing a 5K on Thanksgiving! My first also :) Being sick has totally screwed up my running schedule but I hope to at least make it through.

All else – Hola and good to see new faces in here!


Oh and sorry I’m late! Congrats Julie, Kierr and Erin!!!

Fat Chick B Gone-yaa how exciting good luck to us both. ive been lagging on my running schedule too because i always feel like im behind on homework even if im not really so i work on homework instead. hope you feel better!

ive still be exercising, well cardio, i havent been doing my weights. ive been doing 25 minutes of dancing when i wake up at 5am and then walk up the .8 mile steep hill and walk down it on my way home and meet my classmate at the gym twice a week. but my eating has def been out of control this week so whatever the scale says, i have to take the blame it is my fault *sigh*

ps but last week still wasnt my fault lol if it is ill admit it

erin- thanks for the recipe! I can't wait to try it. I made a bit for dinner tonight and wow it expanded like crazy! Now I know to use less lol.

I've been having problems falling asleep the past week and don't know what it is. When I lay down I can't get my mind to relax and I just think and ponder all these different things (often about all the different choices of foods I can eat the next day). I might try listening to some music on my ipod...

Well I'm not sure about weigh in tomorrow either. Let's hope it goes well for all of us! (and motivates me to not snack too much tonight :) )

I am either weighing in late for last week or early for this week! :)
268

THIS is why I took up gum chewing. Everyone laughs at me because I'm always seen chewing gum but I don't snack NEAR as much anymore.

Story of my life as well....

Get well soon though! Sorry that you're so busy...good luck on your exam!

ya i have tons of gum I NEED TO START CHEWING haha

Yeah I'm pretty sure I did not lose this week, which will be fine as long as I did not gain! I need to step it up :-)


Fatchickbgone :hug: we miss you, feel better!

Jasmine you are a day early, so if you are a different weight tomorrow let me know, otherwise I'll put you in at 268 :D





OK LADIES TOMORROW IS WEIGH IN.. IF WE LIKE IT OR NOT ;)

:dust:

Serious. I get a flavor that I enjoy....whether it be "fruity" or "minty" or whatever...and chew chew chew until the flavor is gone.

Silly oral fixations

Hey kids,

This week flew by! I can't believe tomorrow is already weigh-in! I'm keeping my fingers crossed.

Sounds like a lot of you are super busy right now. I'm actually going through a really boring time, but I know how you guys feel. I've been there. Just try to do your best, get the studying done, try to get in a little movement and try to eat as well as you can. It helps to make a big pan or pot of something that you can just eat from until you have time to cook again. I just made a really good taco soup in my crockpot last week. Let me know if anyone wants the recipe.

tigger-I just recently read that if you can't sleep, get up and write down all the things that are going through your mind. I've never tried it, but the next time I have a tough time falling asleep I'm going to try it.

Heather-hope you're feeling better.

Well, I went to the health food store today and got my Tofurkey, stuffing, pie shells, etc. I was going to try to make my own seitan roast, but I decided I didn't feel like it. I would have to "pre-test" a recipe to make sure it's edible and then make it again for Thanksgiving. It just seemed like a lot of work.

Alright, girlies, I will see you tomorrow. Everybody think happy weigh-in thoughts!

the heather- do you find that your mouth starts to hurt after chewing for awhile?? if not, that might be a really great strategy...(this might be a dumb question, but does gum have any animal products in it??)

darby1-taco soup sounds awesome!! can i have the recipe??

Well as I'm chewing it's not like *chewchewchewchew* sometimes it's just moving it from side to side or just having something in my mouth.

There are some gum products that have animal products, but there are alot of main stream kinds that don't :)

Happy Thursday everyone! I had some trouble waking up this morning- snoozed for 20 minutes lol. But I'm up and going to class like a good student :-p

SW:112
CW: 111
GW: 110

So I'm halfway to my goal. I think that's on schedule pretty much. I'll be sending weigh-in prayers out for everyone else!

Dee

SW-271.2

CW- 273.4

sigh oh well its ok cause im going to be back on track from now on......what kills me is i know that everything is all in my head, my being "hungry" all the time. ok well maybe i need to download some podcasts to help my thinking.
does anyone know any good ones?

darby-that soup sounds really good, times like this i wish i had a crockpot!
