Thanks Deb for all of the encouragement. Yesterday was much better! no chocolate

Walked in the evening, did SG this a.m. Ate a good healthy breakfast too.

kimmi

meal choices could have been better yesterday, still had some chocolate.

SG this a.m. supposed to be 70 here today, will definitely walk this evening.

kimmi

SG this a.m., 3 laps around field yesterday evening. rain today, may do treadmill this evening. meals are much better choices, still ate chocolate yesterday. it's losing it's appeal somewhat, though. i realize the hard work i'm putting into exercising is being negated (somewhat) by the chocolate i'm...

2 out of 3 yesterday, walked the field twice, got dark too quick, but *really* nice weather! plan to SG and walk this evening. dropped 7 lbs this past week, most water loss (tom ending).

kimmi

beautiful weekend, walked both days (5 laps around the pasture, i think that equals about 1 1/2 miles) also SG yesterday am. that was tough, haven't done it in a while. much better eating (we're almost out of Christmas candy, yeah!) supposed to be near 60F today, will *definitely* walk when i get ho...

kimmi

failure again. but still only in the sweets area. making much better choices of meals. and daughter and i have walked 1 mile the past two evenings. crossing fingers, but no sign so far of the winter blues or blahs. feeling pretty normal

Thank you Deb. ach, you made me cry again! I'll print out my post and yours and have him read them. Most of our talks end up as yells, writing works much better for me. Thanks for the suggestion. The problem in our house is not just my weight, but also our son's weight (he's 11 and probably about 13...

kimmi

okay what a shocker. spouse made me weigh myself yesterday a.m. i then proceeded to spend the next hour in tears. i had no idea, don't know who i've been kidding. then spent a lot of the day playing the blame game (HE keeps buying ice cream, HE keeps buying cookies etc) of course HE doesn't force fe...

holidays are over, beginning again.

kimmi

not a terrible weekend, starting with N days again today.

kimmi

okkk.. so what if I tell myself cold turkey on all things chocolate, since that's what I have the problem with. i can allow myself a slice of pie or cake or cookies on S days, as long as it's not chocolate? is that insane, or too strict? what's worse, the self-revenge of not allowing chocolate, or t...

kimmi

i agree, for me cold turkey is going to be the only way. once i had those sweets those for S days, that was the end of it, really. i quit drinking soft drinks cold turkey, almost 9 years ago, now. was the best way to do it for me. i'll just have to get myself ready to quit sweets and do it.

kimmi

haven't checked in since last week, doing great with snacks and seconds, still can't control the sweets. getting sick, sore throat, etc, not feeling like eating much today anyway.

kimmi

back at it again. day #1.10 or something like that. did SG this a.m., actually i've been pretty good about doing SG every week day. it's the sweets that are still getting me. no problems with snacks or seconds either. just the sweets.

I can't wait to hear more details. I have chronic spasms in my neck and upper left trapezoid area I think it's called. A therapist did tell me to get a cane to use to push into the huge knot there, but I've never done it. I'm constantly pushing on the sore area with my hand, but not comfortable. Wil...

kimmi

yesterday was a failure, and already i've messed up today. some kind of self-sabotage going on, i don't know.

kimmi

yesterday, 11/28, failure. it's starting, the office snacks. must resist. new day #1 today

kimmi

ah, on vacation last week, 3 days in a row of thanksgiving celebrations. so, beginning anew today. so far so good, but it's only 8:00 a.m. did SG this am, ate a good breakfast.

kimmi

Days 11, 12, 13 were all S days (daughter's birthday, then weekend) Today, day 14 was vacation day, stayed at home. rainy. dreary. ate a piece of leftover birthday cake. So, starting over again tomorrow. Don't think it was disastrous, but only fair to start over at day 1 as I did have something swee...

no problems today, getting easier. also, didn't get crazy hungry yesterday afternoon as I had been earlier this week. more water, more gum.

kimmi

You're so sweet and helpful, I really appreciate it. I hate that you're bipolar, my sisters-in-law (all 3) suffer(ed) from this. I really shouldn't complain, there are so many who are worse off than me, I should be thankful. I did go to Sam's Club and buy one of those sunlamps. Someone was just in m...

kimmi

umm.. what is the cardio routine? not the shovel-gloving thing?

kimmi

Thank you, CaroleJo. I just have SUCH a history of taking weight off in the summertime, only to regain it over the winter, starting with Thanksgiving. Big yo-yo thing with me, it's like a 4 month binge :( only this year I wasn't even able to take the weight off in the summer :cry: Winter is also whe...

seconds :D snacks :D sweets :D SG :D Getting a little easier each day to avoid sweets. Helps knowing Sdays are coming soon. Getting hungry mid-afternoon, eating lunch at 12 and dinner not until 6:30-7:00 is a long time. Had a string cheese yesterday (it would have easily fit on lunch plate =) Gettin...

Oh, and I lost 3 lbs last week, but I think it's coincidental, TOM normal water loss.

Was surprised I didn't binge this weekend, but had a funeral to attend Saturday. If I had been home all day it p...

no problems yesterday, except was STARVING by dinner time. chewing lots of gum, and drinking gallons of water.

I agree. I'm the most unpopular mom in the county right now. I (well, we did have a family discussion prior to this event) WE made the decision to cancel our satellite subscription. Occasionally I allow the kids to watch a video. Our family is SO much better off for doing this, more time to play/lau...

Another church function last night, was able (barely) to step away from the cookies.

kimmi

Yeah, today's Friday! And what does August 15 represent, something special?

kimmi

Snacks :) Seconds :) Sugar :mrgreen: SG (hehe) :) Second day without chocolate, not easy but I did it. I pictured those Snickers as the peanuts being bugs, hard crunchy bugs. Later at home I heard the Oreos calling my name, but I told them to shut up. Besides, although they're yummy they hurt my mou...

kimmi

The Lovely Ladies in our payroll department have put a bag of bite-size Snickers in the hallway. I'm just logging this here... trying to talk myself out of grabbing one. Or a handful.

kimmi

S.H. you're doing great! Do you feel better? Are you monitoring your weight, or the way your clothes fit?

kimmi

Breakfast, lunch and dinner all went well. Got a little hungry mid-afternoon (remember, I've usually eaten 4 times by then) so I had a couple spoons of cottage cheese. "Covered-dish" dinner at church prior to missions meeting.. so, instead I ate dinner at home so I wouldn't be tempted with all those...

Not sure I'm doing this correctly, trying to reply to Caroljo's question: BFL is Body For Life, Bill Phillips 12-week "program". It was actually recommended to me by my doctor. Eating plan includes lots of supplements and 5-6 meals each day (must include a carb and a protein at each meal) I usually ...

1st day. Found the No-S site on a BFL post. Seems logical, and I'm tired of eating all the time on BFL.
