Week 15

Well, at least as a team we lost weight this past week. I'm just not feeling like a good healthy person ever since I went on vacation. I know I am not being a good role model for all of us. I feel like for 6 months I've been saying that I need to get back on my game, and I'm not sure what to do. :( I will try harder!

Chex MIx

So here is my first tale of the holiday season...nothing says Merry Christmas more than a homemade gift box of Chex Mix......good treat...right.....not sure ....but one thing I do know is ....a little taste like more....and....if the box sits on your desk, it is empty before you know it....so what did I do.....hhhhmmmm.... I ate a serving....then another...then I had co workers take some...then I put it in the caf. for the day to share some more....and then...I brought it back to my desk...had another serving ....or two.....and now will give the rest to the second shift co worker ....because....like I said .....A LITTLE TASTE LIKE MORE......
I am weak ...what can I say...but I didn't eat the whole box by myself....
Count down to CHRISTMAS......I am very happy ....
Love and Hugs to all my co dieters....

Week 14 Disaster

Ok... EVERY TEAM GAINED WEIGHT! Get with the program people! Food for living not living for food!

Updates!

To All:

We will update and post results today, please make sure you send me yours. It has been a tough two weeks with Katie and I away, but remember, this is a marathon, not a sprint. You have to accept right now, that this marathon will last for the balance of your natural life. You got it. You do not get to a weight and then stop. Think of it this way, if you were in a plane going 600 MPH at 35,000 feet, would you cut the engines? Think positive. Any damage you have done can be undone and we know how.

Lets Start Over

Hee Hee...it has been a hell of a lot of fun.....just doing what ever the day brings...but ...between you and me.....I am not in a good place.....life and love is good....but the love for my health....uh...nope.....havent really been focused on me....so ....here is my plan....
Lets Start Over......I don't mean ...lets start from the beginning...I mean ..lets just START to think and act in a healthy , loving way......don't dwell on.....I was this or I was that....or I was here...or I was there....but lets move forward.....lets us do this together ...well after tomorrow anyway...

Where is everyone? Who is still in the challenge

I was just wondering why all the posts have slowed. Who is still in the game? I know me and my partner are. Times have been hard and she carried us for a while but now it is my turn. I have had a great two weeks as far as I am concerned. I had maintained for way too long and am happy to have lost 4.8 lbs in the past two weeks. I don't expect to see huge numbers anymore but do expect to see some type of loss. So who is still in and what are you feeling this week? How are you and your partner doing? Are you supporting each other and encouraging each other? I know I am feeling better these days and would be willing to share anything new I learn w/ you. If anyone has learned anything new this week why not share it with all of us?

Where are Chris and Katie ??????

England.....no NEW England but over the pond England.....how sweet and nice for them.....wonder how the food control is going....I am not sure what the food is like over there but foods with names like "Bangers and Mash" and " Spotted Dick" not sure how tasty they are , but I am sure when then get back , after Thanksgiving, that they will fill us all in...but lets not "take a holiday" away from being healthy just because our fearless leader is....hee hee....be good...be careful...and at least journal so you will know what you have done while they are away...I am a good one to speak...I have not written in my journal all week.

Hugs and Peace to all

Ate too much...

I had a salad for lunch today which was ok. It was the same salad that I had been having for a long time. I have been eating Lean Cuisine or Smart Ones at lunch time but today I decided to have a salad. Guess what. When I would eat a Lean Cuisine or Smart One I would be starving for the rest of the day and I'd want candy and pretzels, etc. The salad (antipasto) was so large and so good that I am not hungry at all.

This is a problem. If my old lunch was 250 to 400 calories and it left me VERY hungry and this lunch doesn't, then that must mean that it is WAY WAY WAY WAY more calories than the lean cuisines. So I am sad because it means I pigged out.

How did I get to the point where I feel guilty about a salad?

Ever Feel Like This ????

I know that is not this bad all of the time...but just sometimes it seems like you really need to work very hard to get to the destination that you want...and even the smallest steps are like fighting the flow....life would be great if you could just float down the river on an inner tube. sigh
