Hey Echo,
Hope your day is going well!
I sure do try to drink a ton of water every day....so I don't think it's thirst, but I could be mistaken.
And yes, I am sticking to 1,100 calories a day, at least for a while. I am just trying to get into the 160's, then I'll relax a little.
I am so sick of being fat! Ugh.
aww good luck ! i reckon the reason you're hungry is cause of the low calories you're taking each day. but i can understand why you're doing it. good luck!!!
I was able to keep under 1500 calories today and feel satisfied. I got major hunger pangs shortly after lunch and eating some dried fruit and drinking water helped out. From keeping a detailed journal and posting the food portion here I am seeing patterns and areas I can improve in. And I am also seeing decent and good choices I am making.
[COLOR="Indigo"][FONT="Book Antiqua"][B][I][SIZE="3"]Well...Ladies, I did it.. I gave into those cravings, and while I am not happy about it nor am I very proud of myself, I am happy that I did not go overrrrrr over board and I remained concious and counting the entire time..I only went over my daily calories by 164cal. yes i know i never should have but I am looking at it liek well.. it could have been worse.. secondly.. I am back to "confess" all lol.. before..I would have thrown in the towel as soon as I took that first bite..but i didn't, i remained concious and as well I came back.. before i never would have due to embarressment and shame... but here I am.. I even threw out the remains of my snack attack this morning.. so yay me lol
well done!!! proud of you!! and congratulations on your 3lbs loss! :
Dropped off my "baby" at college this week. Trying very hard to not indulge in emotional overeating. Went out to dinner at an Italian restaurant last night, steered away from pasta and enjoyed grilled calamari and lovely summer salad. Forced myself onto the treadmill with a comedy in the DVD player this morning, and later I'm going shopping at the Farmer's market for some healthy treats--raspberries, peaches, tomatoes, salmon. Going to distract myself with a long-delayed work project.
well done! and aww good luck with staying away from emotional eating.

I would've joined if I knew about this...How'd you find out about it? I'm in!! That would be great - I've always loved the challenges (until I ran out of steam, hehe ). Kewl, we can be the DFEC (daily food and exercise confessions) chix!! Whoot!
Here's my rundown for today:
Breffix - 1 bowl instant oatmeal Cinnamon flavored with a pinch of brown sugar, 1 cup skim milk + 1 tbsp cocoa powder (305 cals)
Snack - 1/2 cup plain NF yogurt + handful of blueberries + 1 tsp brown sugar (95 cals)
Lunch - 1 cup white rice, 1/2 cup chickpea curry, leftover greens curry (590)
Snack - delicious red pear (120 cals), 2 slices 12-grain bread with 1 tbsp ketchup and a sprinkling of feta cheese (230 cals)
Dinner - Rotisserie chicken (1/2 breast + 1 leg) and 1 cup of pasta salad (whole grain pasta + onions + sundried tomatoes + olives). Um. I also snacked on 5 olives while slicing up the ones that went in the salad. Hehehehe. (560 cals)
calories for today - 1899. Wow. I made it well under 2000 today and I'm not getting hunger pangs. That has to be a first.
Exercise:
1 hour of walk/jog or 45 mins of tennis. I've given up (temporarily) on trying for 1 hour of tennis. It's exhausting! Update: Did about 50 minutes!! Now I feel better about tackling the one hour... ::

YAY!! lol I just went by TBL sign up thread and I saw you signed up to Echo!! I am excited lol The weigh in Link is up and running for weigh ins now so that Dixied can get the teams together so we all know where we are when the challenge starts on the 15th lol
Cape - good job on the calories yesterday! I fret about going over by 30- 40 cals so I know how you feel. I'm sure the walking totally got rid of those extra 62, so you're good (I talk like I'm the final say, right? ). Good job on the chips! I know I would have eaten way more. I love sour cream and onion chips. Hee.
Echo - YAY! You signed up!
OMG, I'm actually nervous about this challenge. I always get this way with a competition. I'm so competitive. I've tried to deny it for so long, but I just have to come out and say it. Hi, my name is Sunni and I'm a competitive person. I don't get mean competitive - I won't trash talk or make the other half feel bad, no way. Ok, I've used that word too many times, so let's move on.
Hope we're on the same team guys! I read some people requesting red or blue, so maybe we can also request a certain color? Well, who cares - we'll still cheer each other on.
Cape - YEH!! you joined ! i did aswell!! never watched the show before! am watching season 6 at the moment. saw the first episode last night. i really like it
wow that jillian trainer is TOUGH! hahaha
i like the show, looking forward to watching the rest of the episodes and seasons!! im so glad you encouraged us to join. i cant wait !!
i cant wait to find out which team we are all on..i really hope we're on the same team!! and your right even if we're not on the same team -it will still be fun!! i hope we are though hehe.
aww thanks for the encouragement about losing 1 pound, I appreciate that!
well done on your eating!!
Hydra, you're doing awesome on the food!! think about joining aswell! will be fun
Sunii- YEh!! i saw you signed up and Cape and thought, way hey my girls!!! hehe
Haha Sunni, i know im nervous and excited about the challenge! but in a way i think its gonna be such good motivation, we might be more careful with what we eat and push ourselves abit harder to exercise, do it for the team!! hehe
Sunni - nothing wrong with being competitive, thats awesome!
--
