AB WEEK ^ AUGUST 13-19TH

[Sunshine301]

i REALLY need to check in today,. It is the first time bck to T Tapping since I had the dental issues. I did the BWO+ and even got to the howedowns. My legs are very wobbly but I am going to attempt to do the 14 day BC. I began body brushing today too. And I ordered the alfalfa to take.
My food today is going to be better. I am committing to following the WW points today and staying on track. Waiting to hear from all of you.

You go girl!!

We still have company so my eating plan is on vacation. I did have a salad for lunch though. I need to work on my lunches and adding veggies. I am down 1 lb. (It's been off a week, so it's officially counted. :)) Not much to celebrate, but I've been at the same weight since October. One at a time huh?

Wendy

You can learn something from everyone you meet. Just listen...

[Sunshine301]

Wendy...one pound off is still one pound off. Horray!! I m clapping for you

Just finished my BWO+ for 2nd day in a row. I am excited I am aable to get throught it but by the hoedowns my legs are so heavy they have trouble lifting. But I am going to try for a BC of 14 days. That is my goal. Food better yesterday. And I know I should sty off the scales. But I did jump on. It is very hard for me to beleive that we can put weight on and still get thinner. But I have not gained thak goodness. OK waiting to hear from everyone.

I'm back from another out of town family get-together. Those things sure wreak havoc on the goal of the week.

Today I will not have sugar nor wine (which is mostly sugar, isn't it?). I have a one day at a time attitude. ;)

I see Roz is going for a BC. Good luck.

Roadie, Carol and others, how you doing?

Wendy, just send company home. LOL :D

I'll check in tomorrow.

Hey Foxie....glad you are back. Good luck with the no sugar. My food real clean today. I feel charged up. I may go to the event in October for the day when the trainers are geting certified. but If I can I want to also go one day when Teresa is teaching. Anyone from Florida going? I was thinking maybe if I found someone to room with I might stay an overnite.

Really starting out weakly this week. McDonald's for lunch because that's what my DH got those of us working on the fence. I ended up finishing fine with my DTG dinner, and I plan on being on track tomorrow.

Lots of fencing today, and got in my WO and water.

I'm really tired, so I'm off to bed. Have a great day tomorrow, ladies!

BIG HUGS!

Goodmorning!
Well, I have committed to doing this 5 day cleanse with my mom and I start this morning. I feel good about giving it a try and I think it will be a great way for me to jump start the "no sugar" thing! I can usually rationalize by eating honey, maple syrup and sucanet and never quite get my system clean of sugar and this cleanse will enable me to do that. So that is my major goal of the week!

Other than that, I have been journaling my food [:0] and I have got 4 day BWO+ trend going that I plan to continue.

I am nervous about everything going on the next few weeks. My employees have no idea that I'm selling the restaurant. I am ready to stop leading a double life! Hopefully they will all handle it well and stay on with the new owner, we'll see how that goes. I am so excited to switch gears! After we close next week and our 1 month commitment is over, I will immediately gain about 20+ hours back into my life just from the evenings that I work there after 6 pm each week. 20 HOURS!!! I'll be able to start working on a plan for getting to bed much earlier and more consistently.

Wendy, I like your attitude about your plan being "on vacation"! Sounds like you are really hanging in there.

Jen, I am not yet to the point that I could eat McDonalds and then be right back on plan my next meal. That is my ultimate goal! I guess it's just really a mind set, but I don't know why I have such a hang up in this area. Good for you!

Roz, Great for you to be back on track! I wish I was going to FL, but I'll be heading to Washington, D.C. and then to California after my restaurant gig is up! Maybe next year??? I live in Alabama, so it wouldn't be such a bad road trip!

Foxbay, Are you going for day two????

Have a nice day! We are continuing to have record breaking heat again, yikes!

[foxbay]

Yesterday - no sugar, no vino.

Today - same goal.

I'm in a hurry, will chat later.

Eating has been according to schedule today, though I'm contemplating something sweet in a little bit. We'll see if that happens or not. It has been a rough day with kids and just being plain tired, so don't know if I really want it or if I just want something because I'm an emotional eater.

Roz - Hoping your urge to binge passes quickly, too!!! Sounds like you are doing great!

Roadie - Let me know how you do on the cleanse. I've never done one or really done much research on it, but I am curious for future reference. Which one are you doing? And I never really thought about the fact that I can get right back onto my other meals after eating a bad meal.... always just considered it a bad thing that I was weak for the bad stuff in the first place..... You've just put it in a better light. ;)

Foxbay - Good for you on yesterday's accomplishments! How'd today go?

BIG HUGS!

Today I was tired (sound familiar, Jen?) and mindlessly ate some dark chocolate. As soon as I did, I thought, what am I doing? But you know what, I realized, at that moment, that I was tired. What a lightbulb moment! I'm tired, so I eat. Maybe I should take a nap.. [|)]

I have also been tracking my calorie consumption and even with the chocolate I stayed within the range I'm shooting for. I did not binge, so that was good. :)

I've been reading the physique transformation thread and am intrigued, have any of you been following it?

[sk8rgrrl]

Tired, bored, sad, lonely, angry, etc..... All good conditions for eating badly or just eating waaaay too much. Yup, been there, done that, bought the t-shirt.

Eating went according to schedule today. I did have a small bowl of chocolate ice cream, but did not eat the dessert that DTG gave me with lunch. I know the calories weren't the same, but I did not eat both and I resisted eating dessert again this evening when I really would've liked to.

B/R and brushing done, water ok.

Hope everyone is having a good week so far!

BIG HUGS!

Hello!
Well, I wussied out on the cleanse until next week. I just wasn't prepared. I am also just so full of anxiety and know that things will calm down for me after next Tuesday when we tell the employees of the sale.

I am on a 6 day roll with BWO+ and that feels pretty awesome! I'm just going to keep on going. When I was at the workshop a few weeks back, I learned that I was going the KLT a bit too much and that I should also try and put my ball joint to the ground and it is working my legs in a whole new way and it feels good.

Water is strong, and eating isn't great, but I am not eating all day either. So I am just trying to strike a balance this week.

Jen, LOL on the "bought the t-shirt"!

Goodnight,
Sandy

[foxbay]

Today, no sugar. But I did grab a glass of wine before dinner and ding, ding, ding, another bell went off. I grabbed that wine because I was upset with DH.

Why I'm doing, or shall we say eating, what I don't want to is becoming crystal clear. A distinct reason is there. And do you notice, it doesn't have a thing to do with hunger. [:0]

I'm feeling strange emotionally, like there is a shift in progress..

Hi everyone. I had a 2 day bout with being very sick. So I skipped a one day of BTO+ but went back on today. I have lost some inches but have not done the entire re measure yet. But my weight has gone from 160 to 153.5. And people are noticing I look smaller. That is motivating. Todays food has been good.
Oatmeal, creamer and fruit for Breakfast
Big salad from Whole Foods for Lunch and salmon and veggies for dinner.

Everyone is so motivating.:D

Eating yesterday was according to plan. I almost slipped up toward the second half of the day because I needed to clean the house for my son's birthday party on Saturday and my dog ran away and the other one peed on the floor and my husband was gone all day.... PLUS it's TOM next week and I always get depressed and moody and hungry this far out. I ended up sitting in bed watching t.v. half the day so I didn't get the stinkin' house cleaned, but WHATEVER. I just decided to do the party at a park so I wouldn't have to worry about it. I just haven't recovered from the fencing project yet--I don't have enough mental energy to tackle what three boys have done to my house in the month that I've been too busy with the fence to care. [:0]:(

Stepped on the scale this a.m. and I'm down another pound. I've dropped a pound almost every day this week, going from 169-170ish to 165 this a.m. I'm not sure why, either.

Today is WO day for me, but I'll probably wait until DH is at work.

Roz - Hope you are feeling better now! It sounds like you are doing great with your weight!! :)

Foxbay - I was thinking of you all day yesterday. I was very stressed out and overwhelmed and just wanted to lock myself up in my room with a bag of Chips Ahoy or a big bag of microwave popcorn. The only reason I didn't do it is because I knew that I was craving those things only because of my emotions. So thank you for that! ;):D

Sandy - Awesome job on the BWO+ streak you have going!

BIG HUGS!

Jen, glad to be of service.

We just got back from eating Thai food. I ate about 3 bites too much. I need to learn to leave that food even though there are "children starving in China".

I have done pretty well with no snacking. Twice this week I had a glass of wine before dinner with a couple of bites of something. But I've been staying around 1600-1700 calories. I haven't had any sugar and don't seem to want any. [^]

I think I'll start working on stop eating when I'm full. [xx(]

Just checking in today. I have been doing great with my eating and last night hubby and I went out and after dinner had Gelatas after dinner for dessert... Yummo! Well I got home and felt hungry and had a small piece of leftover salomon, then some raw pecans and felt I really ate way more than I needed to. I had to get up early today and did not have time to do my BWO+ and said I would do it when I got home. But I think I will just do it tomorrow. Can I still contineu to get results by doing 2 -3 days in a trow and than skippin ga day. That is kind of what I have been doing. OK Well gonna go eat lunch now.

Hello. I'm still here! I've been true to my BWO+ goal even though I have been having to squeek it in late at night after 11:30pm [:0], but it has actually been helping me sleep better. I just need to be sleeping more now.

Food has been a struggle. I am definately stress eating, but I did a bit of shopping at the hfs and am geared up for the next few days now, I just have to prepare a few things tonight. BE SUPPLIED, NOT DENIED!

So, HMMMMM, Goals for next week......

~ I'm doing great with H20, so I want to keep that up.
~ T-Tapp each day and by the end of next week I want to try the SATI DVD I got.
~ Food, I just want to try and stick to the THM Countdown rules which is no sugar, no dairy, no red meat and no alcohol.

Foxbay, I need to work on that too! I always keep eating even when I am stuffed and I eat when I am not hungry. Also, with the sugar thing, if I don't eat it, I don't want it, but it takes me about a week to get to that place.

Roz, you sound like you are doing really good! I'm glad that people are noticing your hard work ;).

Jen, How'd the party at the park go???

I'm at work and they are calling me so I have to get going. Have a nice Sunday

[foxbay]

Story to tell - this morning we had to run over to MIL house to see some relatives, who were only going to be there for a short time. So, I had to dress quickly.

I have a couple pair of jeans in my closet. One pair is made out of stretchy type denim, so it fits my waist (my biggest problem) comfortably. The hips and thighs are way baggy.

The other pair fit me a year or so ago. (why are they still in the closet?) They were snug in the waist, but fit great in the hip and thigh area. Well, I had tried on this pair a couple of months ago and even though I could button them, the waist was so tight they hurt.

Anyway, I got dressed and thought I had grabbed my comfy pair. As I was getting in the car, I was so mad because now my comfy pair was snug in the waist. What was it going to take for me to keep getting bigger?

At my MIL house, it dawned on me that maybe I had grabbed the other pair of jeans. So I went into the bathroom and checked the label and YES, I had.

So in the last couple of months my waist must have lost some inches. I'll have to measure! :D
