I've been doing pretty crappy lately. I haven't been feeling well so this past week has been wasted. I'm going to get back on track tomorrow though - hopefully!
Here's to getting back on track. We can do it people!
Why don't we each try to think of a tip we can post every day or 2 or 3(depending on our schedules) to keep each other motivated and inspired? It can be a nutritional tip or exercise idea or just a motivational thing.
My brain is mush at the moment, so will check back tomorrow with something hopefully worthwhile to post.....
Please keep checking in, even if you are doing "badly". We all need support. We all have bad days. And good ones too.
Oh yeah and I forgot to say...I was talking to one of my most favorite clients and his wife and we had just finished up lunch and I explained that I was watching what I ate so please excuse the fact that I would not entertain dessert with them. So we got on the weight loss thing..And I told him that I had been on steroids for my shoulder injury and I had gained rapid weight from it..
He said Oh yeah you will gain tons being on that and it's not just water weight you gain so it's really almost impossible to loose it... So I had this look of despair on my face and his wife (mind you these are super rich people) said Chuck shut the hell up she will to loose the weight...She said it may have felt better if you just had kicked the crap out of her.
I said well Ms.M I will never look like you..She looks like a 35 y/o Barbie and she is @ 60...She said sweetie..listen you can look like me...I said right..she said yep...$100k can do it for you too..I said huh...she just winked and said it is not always as it seems ...If it looks too good to be true most time it is.
She said I have had help to look like this so I really admire women who have the strength and determination to do it without paying for it... She said so hang in there and you will get back to where you want to be...Then she looked back at her husband and said, Get your A$$ in the car we have heard more than enough out of you.
It ended up funny...But I almost cried when he said that
Here's a tip I use sometimes when it's hard :
If you work in an office, try not to keep junk food in your desk. Instead, buy crakers, pretzels and such... nuts, whatever you like that has not too much fat in it. So when you crave for something, just eat a craker. It works for me.
Also, I keep loads of mints in my purse and at work.
My friend wants to go jogging in the mornings. It sounded like a good idea until she said four miles... I can barely jog one mile!! I don't wanna hold her back.
Oh, Tish. I am so sorry. Screw that asshole. You deserve better than that. Some people are so damned ignorant it amazes me. What the hell would possess that nimrod to say that?
You will lose the weight! I know it!!!
I am back, filled to the brim with fat and power. I ate my ass off when we had no electricity b/c I was so depressed. However, I am starting tomorrow again. I can't putting any groceries in the fridge tonight b/c it is still warm.
Welcome back Rbella... glad everything is alright now.
I have had the flu the last few days and feel horrible. I am off sick again from work. Whenever i get sick, I just want to eat everything and anything. I have been doing alright... i have been going over my points but not drastically.
I hope everybody has a good day. I will try to check in later.
Mel-I don't know if I have the flu or what, but I have been so sick to my stomach and dehydrated. Plus, I can't eat or drink without making a trip to the ladies room (sorry for the graphic). I feel awful. Maybe I got it from you all the way over there in London?
Rbella...ypu have been having it rough all the way around sweetie!! I hope you feel better soon..your body probably just needs some much needed rest and relaxation.
Rbella... lol. I probably sneezed on your from here. LOL.
I just wish this would go away... i feel like shit and don't feel like doing anything. Came back to work today but feel horrible and ready to go back home and lie down. I haven't been doing to well with dieting but i am sick... and always eat loads when i am sick.
Hope everybody is doing better than i am. Come on ladies... there are no excuses. Try your best and you will succeed.
Remember this... nothing tastes as good as being thin feels.... or something like that. LOL.
Tish, I'm with you on that one, but last evening I lost the battle
Ate 2 burgers and an onion ring
I s*ck this week
And today I pay the price for it, I have Irritable bowel syndrome and today it's going waaaaayyyyyyyyyy out of it.
They say we learn from our mistakes?
I must be very retarded, because I never learned... lolll
(sorry had to take this with some humor, don't wanna fall in tears again).

I have IBS too...and guess what I am on my way to lunch and having a burger and fries damnit and guess what else...tomorrow Again is a new day!! UGGGHHHH
Yes I am pathetic...but I am also craving a burger!
Ugghh. Nothing sounds good. I guess that is good for my diet b/c as soon as it hits my lips, it goes directly to the toilet. I'm so gross.
Seriously, could I please just have one freaking normal day where I'm not either sweating profusely, sitting on the toilet or barfing? I'd appreciate it.
My friend who is in India right now had this for a WHOLE MONTH! Luckyly she's coming back monday, after 1 year over there. She had enough of all this (the whole complicated situation in this country). BUT, she lost about 30 pounds!
Oui, just got back from Vegas, and I actually LOST weight there.
Don't get me wrong, I'm happy, just I had expected to fall off. Nothing fatty or greasy sounded good, and I didn't want soda at all. I had lots of water, of course walking the strip all day, and eating lots of healthy salmon and stuff (BTW - anyone going out there, the salmon at Nuba or Noba at Hard Rcok Hotel is UHMAZING.)
Tish - I just sent out that book to you... I hope it inspires you, girl. I know it did me.
