To summarize, I think we all just need to be happy with what we've accomplished, not look back at what we should have done, or how we should have done it...We're all definitely lighter than we were when we started, we all know the program, we know it works, we know we need to stick to it 100%. Don't they say, the #1. step is admitting you have a problem...we've done that! We're doing great! My overall thought is, I will cheat forever. I will always have days where I eat what I want, or cannot pass up something offered...it's life. This diet allows those moments...which is why I like it so well. It's a diet you can do forever, and splurge when you want to...as long as it's not a daily thing.
We're amazing women, we'll get where we're going!!!! Keep on truckin'!
We are all in the same boat it seems. But keep on truckin. Today when I was on the treadmill I was moving pretty quickly. Half way through the exercise my body was saying "stop stop you are pushing too hard!" But I thought about what athletes do when it happens to them and I thought I'm going to get my mind in a place to stay focused and ignore those things that sabotage my exercise routine and diet. So today is a new day. I'm going to start detoxing off sugar and eating more healthy foods. (I can already hear my body starting to struggle with that one.) I stray too far when I start with the goodies once in a while. So it will take me a week to detox off the sugar. I have done this before and it does work. For everyone struggling, I know what works for me is having some ready made soups and frozen dinners when I'm in trouble because I didn't plan my meals. It is easy to stay on plan that way. I'm going to save my extra 35 pts for meals eaten out and those I'm going to keep to a minimum. I really want to be 60lbs lighter by next summer and the holidays are coming up. I was doing well at a 1lb a week. I want to stick to that. So lets all jump back on the wagon and get there together!!
Hey everyone,
I'm hanging in there. I've done well on food for the last couple of days.
I'm going to tonights meeting instead of weds because of dh rotating days off. Wish me luck I can still feel Saturdays Pizza sticking around...LOL
Hey everyone. Debbie, good for you for doing well and making it to Curves!! I love that place. Some days I don't even feel like it, but after it is over I am glad I went. Lots of support there and nice people. Well said Jennifer. We have all come along way and everything else that you said. You really worded that wonderfully. You are so right. Today I have had 18 pts. so far. I will have a snack later. Maybe after class tonight. I worked out at Curves. I did not ride my bike. No time. Everyone have a great night. See ya'll tomorrow!!
Hi again everyone. I had 19 pts. for the day. I am going to have a snack later. I worked out at Curves. That's it for me. Hope you all had a great day!!
Had WI tonight, up .25lbs which is fine with me..considering I hardly followed program and didn't journal at all this week.
I talked to my leader and we decided I will try core for the next week and see how I do. I'm nervous...lol.
I'll definitely be posting my days here, need all the support I can get!
Hey everyone! 25 points so far today, and will finish off with a glass of milk- YUCK! But it will finish my points and add the much needed dairy. Did the elliptical machine 30 minutes. Walking is starting to creep me out since it's getting dark earlier. Days when I can go early I'll still walk....days when I can't go until 8 or later, I guess I'll be on the elliptical.
AJsMommy, sounds like day 1 is going well! At this rate, 3 flex points per day, you'll still only use 21 of them in a week. That gives you 14 points to play with in addition to your exercise points!
Today I went over my target points and used 3 of my flex points as well. I wasn't concerned about it, I mean they do give us the flex points for a reason, but then I realized I'm going to weigh in tomorrow instead of Saturday. This major fun after dinner at my Mom's tonight, who knows no low fat. It was my choice to eat it though, so I guess I'll get what I deserve tomorrow!
Did a 45 minute walk before going to mom's house, and after getting home and the realization that WI is tomorrow, I did 20 minutes on the elliptical to try to help out a bit.
Have a good evening, and hope for the best for tomorrow!
Day 2 on core:
B: toast w/spray butter (1pt)
L: salad w/chicken, 1 slice bacon and bbq sauce (2pts)
S: strawberries w/ yogurt mixture
D: sirloin, baked potato, salad (2pts for some butter)
*Might make some popcorn in a bit, not sure...
Hello all! Weighed in this A.M. instead of Saturday as there is too much going on for me to make it to the meeting. Down 1.8 pounds. Good loss, but boy I wish I was still having those 3-4 pound weekly losses! LOL!
Today was my first day at 26 points. I gave in to a home made rice crispy treat against my better judgement. Those are probably my biggest weakness, and I made several batches for DD to take to Mizzou this weekend for the big game. I shouldn't have eaten it, but I did calculate all the points and counted them for the day. Guess that's why they call it flex, cause you can eat what you want, even if you shouldn't! Even with the sweet treat I still have 5 points left for the day, so I'm going to finish up with 5 points worth of low fat chocolate milk....I just cannot stomach white milk....ICK!
Also managed to do 30 minutes on the elliptical machine. Would like to do about 40, but my knees are killing me. I'll walk extra tomorrow if the rain stops! If not, I'll just do two sessions on the elliptical instead of one.
Day 3 on core:
B: ww yogurt (1pt) and a banana
L: Strawberry Banana Swirl Shake
( 1c. skim milk, 1/3 banana, 1/3c. strawberries, 1/3 packet SF FF vanilla pudding powder...blend. Very yummy & free on core)
S: popcorn w/oil
D: core meatloaf, baked potato w/spray butter and a veggie
S: hard boiled egg and 1pt bar (nice combo, huh?)
Hey all!! Kelly M. good for you!!! Down 1.8 lbs!!! I have been doing fair. Not horrible but not too terribly bad. No weight gain, but no loss either. I hope you all have a great weekend. I will probably try to ride my bike a little. I slept late so no Curves today. I did do my 3 days this week. Normally I have been going 5 times a week. Anyway bye you guys. Until tomorrow.
I can still feel Saturdays Pizza sticking around...LOL
