:bravo: Anagram! :wave: Sounds like a commitment to me! A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step. I think Confucious said that ... don't think I made it up, but I might have! :)

:encore:

Hi,
So far so good. Here I sit at day one. So far I took my calcium, I am not drinking coffee and I am eating well.

Well, Back to work.

Bah! I was STARVING from my LBWO on Sunday. It always hits me like that. The "I-could-easily-eat-that-table-leg, please-pass-the-salt?" kind of hunger. I tried to mitigate it by eating several smaller meals throughout the day, but .. come dinner and I had to eat more than I should have. Today should be slightly better, though I'm still hungry, it's not that "heeeere kitty kitty kitty" kind of feeling. :s: Good on water, UBWO tomorrow. I need to get to sleep early tonight.

Amarantha2 08-26-2003 12:13 PM

Happy with today so far. 50 minute workout in the pool, food and water on target so far. Cup of tea and a snack yet to come. PLUS I had a nap.

I'm doing well, exercise done and getting ready to go to a meeting. Have calories left to go but may not want 'em, so I'll do an official report later.

I'm game! Hi Zadie!
I'm late for Labour Day but how about by my birthday on the 2nd?
I will walk or treadmill no less than 20 minutes each day.
Two more pounds would be wonderful but I've found that my losing has really slowed. Should I just declare it? I think I will. Two more pounds!

Amarantha2 08-27-2003 01:01 AM

Yo! Welcome Tooround!!! I love your name! Glad you are with us!!!! :wave:

Falling asleep but going to have a protein bar that'll finish off my overdraft protection calories altogether, so tomorrow I'll need to stick to the straight and narrow! :angel:

EP’S SEVEN-DAYS-TO-LABOR-DAY WEIGH, Day 3 Report:

1) 1700 calories or less, plus a 300 day OPP (Overdraft Protection Plan, e.g., 300 extra calories for the week to be eaten any time and in any combination)?

zadie k 08-27-2003 11:13 AM

Hello,
Well, here I am at day two. Actually I did marvelously yesterday, so here is hoping today goes as well.

Hi tooround. Seeing you around here always gives me hope becuase you started close to the same place as me :)

My big challenge for the day is a going away lunch for a friend. She is moving to D.C. :( At least it is a good excuse to make a roadtrip.

Amarantha2 08-27-2003 01:17 PM

Yo! Another Bravo!!
 
Hmmm. Trying that color again!! :cb:

:bravo: Zadie for navigating a successful day yesterday!!! You'll do great on your lunch "challenge!"

Keep those cards and letters coming in, folks!!! :callme: :write: :comp: Enjoying hearing how everyone's doing! :cb:

Amarantha2 08-27-2003 08:36 PM

Yo!!! Ever onward!!!
 
EP’S SEVEN-DAYS-TO-LABOR-DAY WEIGH, Day 4 Report:

NOTE: The intrepid Elbertine Pep hath decided to give the new WW Flexipoints a whirl, even though she’s ALWAYS given up on POINTS in the past, so it’s a love-hate relationship, but at any rate, she will continue to convert them back to calories for the nonce of this week and then figure out her next week’s challenge, if everyone decides to do this thread again! Ok? Ok! :cb: Love this color!

1) 1700 calories or less? Yes, 1450!

2) Exercise one hour continuously or broken up in any time combination and at any intensity? Yes, personal training day/weights, one hour.

anagram 08-27-2003 08:43 PM

Ok, ate healthy enough but more in maintenance area than losing but decided that's ok for me this week. It's more to get the discipline back.

Walked (and it was still hot and sweaty which I hate).

Water ok.

I'm satisfied.
