Hey CJ... I really hope that instructor works well for you.. I used to take Yoga about a year ago with a different teacher than I have now.. It was a night and day experience... Plus, if you are just starting, I suggest starting with Hatha or Vinyasa Yoga... Not really tough forms like Ashtanga! I s...
Haha -- I don't think anyone has called me "girly" since my 8th-grade gym teacher. I'm actually a male. Thanks for the encouragement anyway! Ooopsie Daisies!!! LOL!!! :P You are welcome laddy!!! LOL... I have no idea why I thought you were a girl... Well, as Benny Hill said, you should never assume...
Okay, I think I hit a moderate low point in my "No eating at night" plan... LOL.... Around midnight, I wound up standing in front of the fridge *again*!!! Well what was there to eat??? I caved in guys... There was no real food in the fridge, so I ended up having about six teaspoons of Hero Black Cur...
Hi Freakwitch! Wow you are sure thinking this through! You have made fantastic improvements this year for yourself!!!! If you don't really trust the scale at home, which is understandable, can't you just pop in to your doctors once a month and borrow his? Or do you have a gym nearby you can weigh in...
Thanks Prodigal! I am really going to kick this habit no matter how long it takes!!! I think this public accountability deal has a lot of cache as well... I feel like I'm somehow drawing some extra Willpower from the group, not just from my own measly reserves... LOL.. Plus, eating raw eggs and ketc...
Good for you Jordan :) Congrats on eating more fruit! Don't worry about putting it on a plate... That's okay... As long as you don't just plough through five pounds of grapes at once you'll be fine... As far as the cereal, I too had the exact, shocked reaction when I went and actually read the nutri...
Thanks Carleyho! XO! I went to sleep at 9pm last night, then got up about 12... Had a glass of lemonade and then went back to sleep... There wasn't much trouble, especially as there's not much to eat in the fridge except for some organic uncooked eggs and a bottle of ketchup... LOL... I also had a v...
Yup, I did it with the help of God's grace, but now that it's saturday, I am not hungary! What's up with that? Isn't that weird!!!???? :shock: LOL... :lol: This just proves that so much of our eating is simply "Impulse" eating... Once we wait long enough, usually, that passes... I say go for the sy...
Enjoy it!!! Congrats on a great week! Peace and Love, 8) Deb ps... Some doctors shouldn't be doctors... I just read something on another post group about nutrition... I was looking into taking this suppliment so wanted to read up on peoples experiences... One of the people on the board who was frust...
Yo everyone! :D I give myself a score of 95 for not opening the fridge up during the night... However I did eat two very tiny miniature tootsie rolls... But they were in a utensils drawer! Not technically in the fridge!!! Ahhhhh!!!!! This is so infuriating!!!! But I'm giving myself a good score beca...
Keep it up AC!!!
I screwed up at least once a week in the first five or six months... I still lost weight anyway...
The good days win out overall!
Peace and Love, Deb
Hey thanks you guys! Reinhard, I really appreciate when you write and what you write! Yeah, I wan't to worry about the non-absurd things, like eating a plate of ribs with a pint of Ben and Jerry's, not OJ! LOL... Hugs Reinhard, and thanks again... Say hi to your little Engel! :wink: I bet she is bea...
the big muscle at the back of the thigh LOL.... Feel the burn! Those be yo hamstrings Bro.. If you are bending a lot at your waist, and those are tight anyway, then you will get extra pull on them everytime you bend down to shovel... They attach at the hip and you are probably pulling the hip along...
Choxie! What a cooooool name!!!! Yo mama... No gastric bypass girl.... Then you'll have a two inch wide stomach stapled to your small intestines and guess what??? You'll still have whatever habits you have... Try the three weeks on habit... I had a really hard time getting to the point where I'd get...
I now find myself swinging the hammer in time to Sheryl Crow with some really daft 'idiot' grin from ear to ear. It's more like dancing with a hammer "All I wanna do, is shove some gloves!" (that's supposed to be Sheryl Crowe singing... LOL...) Okay Carolejo!! Time to make a home video of this daft...
Hey Dave! Your computerized numbering system is cool, but you are the only bloke I know who has 4 Mondays in a week! Wow.. And I thought one Monday was bad enough!!! LOL... I'm glad you are feeling better.... So, do you guys celebrate Thanksgiving??? LOL! You know, like to give thanks for us guys ov...
Yeah Inge, Thanks for writing!!! It's strange for sure! LOL.. The food is almost like a sleeping aid for me, it seems... But I'm convinced that I can delegate this whole phenomena to plain old "Bad Habit".... So I'm breaking it, however hard it may be to do so!!!! Your Happy hour theory sounds prett...
That scale is soooooo lame Sister!!! But you Rock!!!!! Thanks for writing on my checkin today.. I will stay out of the fridge tonight and you keep saying "Uh uh" to those mini pecan pies... Then, Saturday, go and eat a big slice of "whatever" pie you want!!! :P Yay! Pecans, I mean,,,, Peace and Love...
Hi Dru!!!
You are skinny!!!! LOL..
Hey Peetie...
While you were graduating College and wearing tie dyes, I was being born in Brookdale hospital...
LOL...
Ah, 1967...
The year of Sgt Pepper!
Dudes!!!! When I called the Chiro to let him know I was coming to take my table and stuff home today, he told me he was going to give me a key to the office after all!!!!!! Yay!!!!! Hey.. He just called now! I am psychic!!! LOL.. What a nice turn of events! So, today, I'm making an S day and I am go...
Hey Robby! Unlike other, possibly irate, creatine/red bull drinking, testosterone laden, steroid pumping weight training sites/groups, this is a very low keyed and classy group! If you step on someones toes, no one wil rip your head off in a muscle bound rage~ LOL.. Well, if you are getting shooting...
Hey Kimmi~ I didn't gain one pound last Winter... Yes I fluctuated within 2 lbs every once in a while, but it wasn't contingent on the Holidays... I just stayed off the scale if I felt I had an excessive day (which really didn't happen much...) and then I'd check in a few weeks later or sometimes ev...
Just cutting down on the sweets, especially the liquid ones, will save you sooooo many unnecessary calories, you will certainly benefit from it! I remember a friend years ago, who would simply cut out dessert for a few months and voila, she'd drop like 20 lbs in no time.... I don't even think she ha...
Hey Prodigal... Please forward my condolences to your Wife... So sorry for that sad, and shocking news... But, don't make someone elses life yours... Many people die for mysterious reasons every day... It is *their* path... You have your own... You are doing great here so do not fear! Peace and Love...
Ha ha ha!! LOL.. Thanks CJ! This habit may really take a very long time to break.... My hope is that after doing it for a straight month, I will be turning the tides... Then, with baby steps, I will start on another new habit, eating a bit earlier in the morning when I wake up... I need to reset my ...
Hey Judy! You can do what Reinhard does, which is to post "funny business" if it happens... No one expects you to post every day, though, like Jan said, you can if you feel it helps you and you enjoy it.. If you post "funny business" days, or just a plain, "Today was good..etc.." type of post, it wi...
Hey all... Well, my first night of the Zeul/Cerebrus Bingebusting 21 evenings went fine... But,,,, I did actually get up at 2:15 and walk over to the fridge, opened it, and thought of eating something.... Some cold leftovers from dinner... I really had to talk myself out of it... I was like "Step aw...
And today the partner in our cell took us out for a farewell lunch, and I had bread and chips and bits of grilled haloumi and a full rib steak and a small chocolate chip cookie and split a dessert with one of the solicitors (it was a very nice dessert - halved fresh mango with caramelised brown sug...
Thank you Sister! You are a dear heart :) So far, so good... I'll report in the morning... I had a really substantial dinner and lovely dessert of both fresh mango and grapefruit (the grapefruit had sugar, but oh well, it's not Haagen Daaz!) Sweet dreams... (and no refrigerator raiding for me!!! I m...
Hi Robby,
I'm a massage therapist, so I hope I can point you in the right direction...
Which side is the shooting on, the palm or the dorsum of the hand?
I agree with all that Freakwitch mentions...
I will add my two cents once I get your reply
Peace, Deb
Good morning friends! :P I had a great NoS day yesterday, but one little messup... I consider it non damaging over all, and it's my usual battle with eating in the middle of the night... But this time, I had no more potato chips with msg around, because two days ago, when I was eating them at 12 am,...
Hi Lane :) At my heaviest post pregnancy weight, I was always sweaty around the braline and I wound up with rashes... I figured out, on my own, that it must just be like "athletes foot" except athletes boobs! and must be fungal/yeast thing..... So I smeared some monostat on the area and kept it dry,...
Hey guys! I had to make a big life change today... (No I didn't get elective sex change surgery... LOL.) I decided to leave the current office space I was subletting from that Chiropractor... I've been there for 1 and a half years, so it's pretty much got me bummed out... But he was just showing up ...
Saying no to seconds (and thirds, fourths, fifths..) was, and still is my hardest S, but it is sooooo much better now.. I'm in my 16th month here, and I love it... I have lost around 25 pounds in that time... Not once have I felt deprived or resentful of any rules or restrictions.. They are helpful,...
Yo Reinhard, you may be many things,,, but obnoxious isn't one of them...
We love to re-read your great ideas!!!
It's why we joined to begin with..
You da best...
LOL... Well, I actually had a mini binge yesterday, and it felt like cacadoodoo... LOL... Lesson learned... Just when you think you get it, you realize you don't! LOL... I think MSG played a big part in this... The chips I pigged out on, were loaded with it.. New rule is, buy single serving S's, and...
Wow.. this was a fairly excessive S weekend.. And after all that talk about binging days being over!!! Yeesh!!! :shock: LOL.. I am glad that tomorrow is an N day! Ooh it seems like the moon is getting pretty full... maybe that had something to do with my "restless yet immobile" and "eating out of bo...
Hi Angela! Welcome and good luck!! I am sure this will be helpful to you... You already sound like you were kind of living a NOS life already... Congrats on taking the initiative to help yourself in a humane, and liveable way! ps.. LOL.. Nah, they have sugarless cake in France... :wink: pps.. See ho...
That's fantastic Ingrid!!! The mind is amazing... We hold onto ideas that we can or can't live without things for so long, and when we just decide to change that, and make the commitment mentally, the body often just follows... (Though usually the body speaks before the conscious mind... LOL..) Glad...
Hi Nathan! LOL.... We ate candy *last night*... Ah, the call of the cute little candies was strong! LOL.. I was definitely experiencing a serious sugar high, as sweets aren't usually my thing... I can see how sugar could be considered "drug like" and addictive, as both of us were eating one after an...
Have a great time GJ! I love being in the water! It's so healing... I personally love to do the backstroke :) Kimmi, We don't have cable or satellite, or even regular tv... My son watches a few shows when he visits my work at the health club per week, and on the weekend I have my Mom tape Mad TV for...
Hey???!!! I thought you were "Shameless" Hussey, not "Ashamed" Hussey! What's with the little "Shamed face smiley"??? LOL.. Don't sweat piling up the plates in the first several weeks or even months.. It's the habit you want... You have your whole life to then downsize and tweak... Peace and Love, 8...
Hey Mo! You definitely should listen to your body.. You'll be able to swing it around (carefully, and as Carole described, not like a baseball bat! LOL.) in no time! Try these ideas for a while... I suggest to build up your hand and grip strength first... Since you already have the sledge (you do ri...
Hi guys! I was just writing to Carolejo, and realized that this would be an interesting question to pose to the group... I feel that NoS has totally eradicated the wild and crazy free-for-alls I used to have, in the past... ie: Binging... Yes I mess up (actually pretty frequently!) but then keep on ...
Hey Carolejo!
Good for not using the slipup as a binge excuse....
NoS is really good for destroying that bad old psychology....
Binging, pretty much, never happens anymore...
I had a piece of chocolate last night, and that sufficed....
(snack sized!)
Peace and Love, Deb
Wow Dave, that is weird because I've been looking at the cereal box at strange times of the night for comfort food, and I too have been eating a few extra bites at the stove, which shouldn't happen... (Last night I made jambalaya and I was fishing out the sausage bits before it got put away in the f...
Hi Sweetie!!! I'm glad you wrote me... Thought you and the Squaw and the tribe might have gone off to that lake in Wales and decided not to come back! Thanks for your big CONGRATS! I am feeling really good these days, and now I feel even better to share that with my mate!!! We will conquer the world...
Hey Carrieanne!!! Thank you so much!!! Yes I feel great! And I feel even more determined to do well as a result! I'm inspired :) I did Yoga today for 90 minutes, and it was a killer workout!!! My, oh, my am I sore everywhere!!!!! LOL... I'll be sleeping well tonight... Hope you are fine and dandy.. ...
I'm guessing you won't be coming to visit NYC much.. LOL.. PS.... No one hates you Dede, so stop talking nonsense.... :P I am thrilled that you have lost so much weight this year!!! Wow! NoS will help you maintain your loss... I envy the fact that you discovered this, after losing so much of your we...
I have a cousin who's a master of PVC (he can make a plastic digeridoo that actually sounds good) so if he and I come up with something cool I'll share it here. My friend Simon made a great sounding didge out of pvc... It's a "Slide" didge! LOL.. You can play in multiple keys, and it's light to car...
