DEAL!
I think I just need to mix up my routine... I have been doing the walk/elliptical training for the last 6 weeks and I am going crazy!
Looking to start a pilates class next week to give some variety to my schedule... does anyone here do exercise classes or have any recommendations?

I said house but in reality it's a condo, we're on the ground floor. It ended up that it's the girl on the second floor who's shower is making all this trouble. The plumber had to leave
because after 6 o clock it would become double charge and the condo manager said that he wasnt sure he wanted to pay double charge... SO all this to say that he's supposed to come back tomorrow or next tuesday... At least we know where it comes from.
I didnt eat too much!
I had a shish taouk plate with rice, some seasonned potatoes, salad and a falafel
Are you involved in house inspecting rbella?

How you feel about yourself is more important!!! |

Willa-my husband is an inspector and I'm a Realtor. I should think if anything, you would both need to share the expense of fixing the leak since it is a co-owned wall (ceiling/floor) and it is her plumbing that is leaking. You might want to look into your condo association's guidelines.

Thanks!! The Reverse Diet by Tricia Cunningham is when you eat your meals in reverse...
Dinner for breakfast and Breakfast for dinner...One of my friends did it and lost over 60 lbs in about 6 months (Not that I will last that long
)
You eat your heaviest carb meals early so your body has time to burn off all the carbs during the day prior to 4pm...and your breakfast type low carb meal in the evening..Bacon, eggs, etc... I can't do the straight No Carbs Diet it messes with my system terribly.
Below is a lil info on it

A quick update from me. Diet is still going well. I did a 10min walk instead of my usual 4 yesterday. Wasn't such a good idea as it made me really ill last night. I'm feeling a little better today. Luckily last night was one of the nights I was allowed a cookie, so that cheered me up a little! I think for the time being I need to stick to 4mins instead of pushing myself (it can take weeks for me to recover if I overdo it too much). I've started calorie counting too. Seeing how many calories I'm consuming whilst on this diet has made me horrified at the amount I must have been having with what I ate before! |

I'm not sure I could do that, as I usually have pasta or something for dinner. I don't think I could stomach pasta first thing in the morning! Good luck with it though.
I think today is going to be one of my hardest days. Not only is my ME going crazy, but I think I'm going down with some sort of virus too. Which means all I wanna do is curl up in bed and eat junk food. But on the bright side, the more time I spend in bed sleeping, the less time I'm likely to spend eating!

Well, I lost 1.4 lbs at the weigh-in last night. Not too bad, but I'm such an impatient person and I want bigger numbers! lol My moving fiasco is finally coming to an end this coming up week so then I'll be able to focus more on the exercise part of my weight loss journey which I'm sure will speed up the process a bit. At least, that's what I hope.
My eating has been pretty decent, staying in my WW points but I do need to focus more on eating more fruits and veggies. I know when I did that before, my weight loss progressed too. Can't wait to get my life back in order! This moving is killing me!!

Congrats feenin!
I'm an impatient person too for the weight loss and what I can tell you about it is that it's better to lose 1lb than gaining 2
When I moved in, I lost about 10 pounds just because I was stressed out, but gained it all back as soon as we were installed...
I prefer to laugh about it

^ ITA! I agree that I am sooo impatient about weight loss, but I just keep trying to tell myself if I do it slowly it's for surely going to come off and maybe one day I'll just wake up and be like hey im skinny again. haha. Also I try to keep that same positive attitude of "At least I didn't gain"
So today's going to be a BAD day. Nothing packed for lunch. Only grabbed two string cheeses... eeek. :X
I *NEED* to get my fat ass to the gym tonight. There just has been SO much going on that I haven't gotten home until late, and then tonight I thought I'd finally get back to the gym but we had errands to run. Tonight though... I just have to...for my sanity. lol. 8 days until my friend visits so I need to stay strong for a week -- I can do it!

Hi Brit,
I just have to give you props for continuing to be so determined and structured while your going through all this crap with your roommate. You've been motivation for me, definitely.
Feenin-That is awesome!!
Checking in-Hubby bought a Mr. Pibb and brought it home yesterday (almost the same as DP) and some Jack in the Box b/c he was so exhausted from work. I did not flinch nor did I have a single sip/bite! Yay for me!!
Instead, I made some fat free chocolate pudding and ate some of that to satisfy my sugar craving while he was eating.
Still within my points, daily. I've increased my fiber intake and my fruit and veggie intake. Today my goal is to drink a bit more water. I think I've been a little dehydrated.
Can't exercise b/c I'm really dizzy b/c of my ear. But, I'll still eat well.
Good luck everyone! You are all doing awesome!!!!!!!!!

Aw, thanks Rbella! It's such a nice support system having this thread and it keeps me being consistent.
Great job on the pudding choice, puddin LOL! It's all about finding and making healthy alternatives... and there are SOOO many out there. Have you checked out that Hungry Girl website? There's a really yummy WW strawberry pie (or any flavored of the jello since you dont actually make it, just use the powder for flavoring I think) with fat-free whip cream and stuff that my mom used to make... I'll ask her for the recipe. It was like 1pt per slice and they were gooood servings.

I didnt have a lunch either, so I had to go to the cafeteria.
Not too bad!
I had spaghetti with meat and veggies tomato sauce
Green salad with thai vinaigrette
And a small bread
Right now, I would eat SOOOOOOO BAD a chocolate bar
It seems I havent ate chocolate for weeks
But instead, I'm having mints, water and I think about the fact that I ate LOADS or chocolate and candies before. So it can wait for the moment...

My diet has gone to pot today. I tried to do the healthy thing this morning, but by lunch time I just needed comfort food. Gonna get an early night tonight so I'll feel better tomorrow and get back on track.
