That is so true! I guess it's our body's way of punishing us.... so not cool!

UGH! I went to my favourite Mexican restaurant last night with a friend. We shared stuffed jalapenos, popcorn shrimp and I had two very not-diet-friendly drinks. Oops. But then I did some walking around down town today and had a healthy lunch.

Tonight is going to be tough though. I'm going out with friends to watch the UFC fights. My friend is BBQ'ing some food before we go so I'm going to have to resist the bad food.... and beer. That's my biggest problem on weekends... I love my beer!!!

And congrats melliquor!!! That is so awesome and I'm super happy for you! Keep up the good work and it's good to hear you're making healthy changes that are paying off

That sounds like a great plan rbella. Well the weekend has almost come to an end for me but for the last 2 months or so I've been buying a kebab combo (chips + soft drink included) every weekend! But it's much better than what I used to eat before, which was either Hungry Jack's (I think it's America's Burger King), Mickey D's, Subway (not too bad) and Pizza or any other sort of takeaway. Ick! Just thinking about that makes me sick.

Well from now on, on weekends and weeknights I will limit the amount of food I eat and the type. I'll try and eat before I leave the house, but if that's not an option I'll just grab a salad, wrap (with nutritious ingredients) or something like that.

Also another thing, I will NOT eat anything from McDonald's when my school makes a pitstop on the way to Canberra (excursion to a fitness academy thing, of all the places).

Hope everyone had a happy and healthy weekend!

So i'm depressed... I went to Old Navy today ( huge sale by the way) to take advantage of said huge sale .... but the size i've been in was tight and that was just devastating b/c I knew after LOSING 12 pounds I could move down a size ... NO SUCH LUCK...

So now I am committing to 3 days of pilates this week starting monday...
and I have to really watch what I'm eating NO SWEETS at all .....

That may just be Old Navy... I went there to get new pants for work... and by thier sizes now (I haven't worn anything by them) I should be a 14-16. I went to Gap and was a perfect 12.

I asked one of the ON ladies while I was there, and she just shrugged at me .

I sure hope they don't think it makes people buy more, lol. I personally like thinking I'm a size smaller...

 

[snowflakelashes]

I've been sketchy this weekend. I didn't do a lot of active stuff, i played wii enough to keep me from eating though if that helps I wasn't really 'active' just occupied to keep me away from the food today lol .

Now i need some sleep so I can show some decent judgement tomorrow. (er later today) lol

 

[Lizzie]

I'm supposed to meet my friend at the gym at 9am... it's currently 2:37am. Damn schoolwork, as if getting up to go to the gym wasn't hard enough!

and and and ....
CONGRATS MEL!!!!

That's so super exciting! I'm living through you right now and it's giving me motivation lol

 

[TISH1124]

I have done nothing this weekend but lay around on my F%$& A$$...However...I have not eaten very much but my laziness was quite depressing....Well tomorrow is a new day and a new week of challenges that hopefully I will overcome and conquer!!

And...I wear a different size in every store I shop...I even wear different sizes in the same store...In the Limited I bought a size 8 and liked them so much for work that I went back very the next day and bought the SAME pair of pants, same color and everything...didn't try them on..got home and they were too little...Had to go back and get a 10...WTF..But the 8 and 10 fit exactly the same...I started to try on every damn 8 in that color until I found another pair that fit...But again it went back to my lazy weekend... And besides I just cut the 10 tag out and I will pretend it's an 8...that should make me feel better

or not

 

[rbella]

OMG!! I totally agree, Tish. Sky, Old Navy sucks on me. I can't even get a pair of pants to pass my fat ankles at that store.

You ladies are doing great. We are all at that point where we want to start cheating and grabbing a little extra here and there. But keep focused on what your goals are.

Babii has a great plan, remember: "If you fail to plan then you plan to fail". I have been trying to live by this statement.

Let's all get healthier this week.

I'm still of DP's. Didn't have any mexican food this weekend and am feeling a bit less bloated. yay!

Amen to this.

I am going to get my rear in gear already. I mean, enough with my excuses. ENOUGH.

Y'all are inspiring and I want to be able to post good news for a change.

 

[rbella]

Yay!!! And you will! Good for you!!

 

[darkwater_soul]

Today was okay... I made the DH and I walk to get our food... we went to Wendy's, haha, but I had a salad with my chicken nuggets and water all day... not too bad, and then we walked home, where I am drinking yet more water... I've lost 2 lbs this week. Good stuff.

 

[Willa]

Sorry girls, but me and my poor need to ask you something
What does DH means?

And DP?

By the way, I've been good today, yessss!

 

[NicksWifey]

I know DH stands for "darling husband" or "dear husband", I'm not sure about DP though.

 

[rbella]

DP=DR. Pepper, the love of my life

- Starting Pilates tomorrow, and checking out the Gym .....

 

[rbella]

I know. It is sad skylar, but it is true. I love me my DP's. Even though I haven't had one if forever!!!!!!!!!!!! Have fun at pilates!!!!!!

 

[melliquor]

Darkwater - congrats on the 2 lbs.

Congratulations everybody for surviving the weekend... and hopefully nobody did too bad.

I had an alright day yesterday. I had a big breakfast and a big dinner... no lunch... i was still within my points and even had a few left for Friday when I went over.

I have lost 1lb this week

... i was hoping for more but i know when you start exercising... it slows down for a few weeks or you could even gain and then you start losing.

I need another 11lbs to for the November challenge and lost 8 lbs so far

.

This week... we should all try to walk for 10-15 min everyday or take the stairs... or park at the back of the store... so you can get that little bit of extra walking in.

Today... i will be having yogurt for breakfast... and probably cereal for lunch. Not to hungry today... i will save alot of my points for dinner and have myself a little treat for losing weight this week.

Good luck for the week.

 

[Willa]

Thanks girls, now I'll know what DH and DP stands for

My sin isnt DP but... Red Bull

I have this bad habit of drinking one each morning (week only). I don't drink coffee, but an energy drink gives me a boost. I had one this morning but it was my last one... I usually get a box at Costco, but I think I'll cut short on these because its not good for me, even if it's 0 calories...

I had a bowl of cereals this morning, 1% milk, I don't really like 2%, and if I could I'd buy 0% but my man doesnt like it in his coffee hahaha

Today I'm having for lunch a couscous with small shrimps, sundried tomatoes and lime juice... mmmm
