Thanks Renee ! It's always nice to get complimented ! ;-) I am proud ! I like watching the Steve Turano videos, of course what he is talking about I was already doing in a lot of cases ... but I like picking up a few tricks here and there. I am not an expert either, but I have researched all this qu...

bluebunny27

No worries, Winnie, you can issue the challenge for the month of august yourself, or maybe I'll do it. I want some *CRAZY* challengers though, yeah !! ;-) I like checking out the posts there and see how everybody is doing. It's just a tool to help you get motivated, posting your progress, all that ....

bluebunny27

Yeah, I was on vacation the other week ... it was surprising though, because I didn't have a hard time at all that week ... I was following my diet and exercising hard for 51 minutes every day, even at the restaurants, I was ordering lean chicken breast salads, fruit salads and whatnot .... not grea...

bluebunny27

Yeah, pizza .. that's tough ! I have been coming up with ways to avoid eating it too ... I think if I don't have any pizza, it's easier for me than to plan on having just a small piece ... I know it'll be harder to have a small piece and stop instead of not having any at all ... weird, huh ?? I know...

bluebunny27

Thanks, Renee ! Actually I was surprised this morning cos' my weight remained the same, 203.4 exactly on monday morning ... even STEVEN. I was sure I had lost weight because I had been very good yesterday, oh well ! I lost 2 pounds since 7/15 so I can't complain too much. ;-) Sometimes there are wei...

bluebunny27

Thanks 'Mi ! You've been an inspiration as well, battling through adversity, that is impressive !! :-) Yes, another solid day ... Sunday. I was gooooooood, running intervals for 51 minutes and also following my diet closely, only eating what was written down on my piece of paper so I know I should b...

My weight, sunday morning, am. 203.4 pounds. :-) Cheers ! Marc ;-) Disclaimer : I am following a more extreme version of the 'No-S' diet.

bluebunny27

I have been doing awesome the past few days. I shovelgloved and did cardio exercices for 51 minutes tonight, I was sticking to my diet all day long, no cheating, I wasn't that hungry, no problems. I even saved some of my chicken BREAST I was having for dinner tonight. I saved a quarter of it to put ...

bluebunny27

Sounds good when people are motivated. Seems many challengers had issues in early july but now a lot of people are vouching to do better ... niiiiiiice !! I have been doing awesome the past few days personally. I just weighed myself after another super double green day and I could hardly believe it ...

bluebunny27

Yep, soft drinks & sodas, are definitely one of the worst things you can have, no nutrients, full of sugar ... ewk ! If you must have soft drinks, at least pick the 'Diet' versions. ;-) The other day I saw this TV show and they featured a woman who was drinking one 2L. bottle per day, I couldn't bel...

bluebunny27

Thanks, 'Mi. I was so close to being good this month and I had no clue, really. ;-) I'll see how it goes but I may lower my final objective on 11/1/2009 to 190 pounds too instead of 192 ... that would make my weight loss for the year : 90 pounds ... Sounds a bit better than 88, heh ! I'll see if I a...

bluebunny27

Ok, I was almost spot on with my prediction since my weight on saturday morning was 204.8, first time ever I am in the 204's, so I am pleased about that, breaking new ground. I am planning a double green today. so I should lose some more, maybe getting in the low-mid 204's by tomorrow morning, wow !...

http://i30.tinypic.com/2rw3t4m.jpg On friday I took a day off training exceptionally (First day off training in a month ??), I had too many things going on at once to train, especially MENTALLY ... besides I was really strict with my diet today. I hardly had anything to eat before 6 pm except for a...

bluebunny27

Thanks, Mimi & Renee, words of wisdom ! You are wise ! I'll try to remember those things whenever I experience difficulties of course. One year is definitely a very long time so it's tough to be perfect all the time ... I just need to do better in the next few days, a one day slip won't hurt me too ...

bluebunny27

Thanks Debs, amazing advice !! Very inspirational. I know it is silly at this point to be so hard and strict ... I am really close to my ultimate year long goal, 13-14 pounds down and I am there. It's tough to be strict for an entire year, I shouldn't have put myself in that situation in the 1st pla...

bluebunny27

Side note, I was feeling a lil' depressed after having had a bad evening, turned out to be red as I had not one but 2 extra bagels, a few cookies too ... booooing !!!!

Doing alright ! I update my habitcal picture once in a while, mostly green with a few yellows, means I'm behavin' now after my so-so start in july.

Emeralds, Oh, I was shopping around, Apparently you buy 10 and you get the 11th one FREE of charge !! :-) Yeah, I love music and also movies too. Plus now I always train listening to music on my mp3 player and during the cold season(s) I watch tv shows while working out. Not Richard Simmons though ....

Hehe ! Well, I'll experiment first to see if my current recipe couldn't be improved. I haven't tasted it yet on a salad. I should do that in about 20 minutes. ;-) Cheers !

Ok, I was a mad scientist in the kitchen tonight and I made a lil' container of salad dressing. Tweaked my recipe a bit so that the taste would be less oily and more 'intense' ... I'll try to eat some tomorrow on a salad because you can't really judge the final product just by doing the finger licki...

Thanks wosnes, I'll tweak my recipe a lil' bit in that direction. I was following the recipe I found but there are multiple variations ... ingredients, quantities, etc. I will apply changes next time, until I come up with the version I like the most. Cheers ! Marc ;-) Disclaimer : I am following a m...

Nice to see enthusiastic newbies around here, Welcome, Flight ! ;-) Eliminating some food choices is really not a good idea, my plan is I can have anything I want as long as I watch my portions of course. This is more like what people would do in day to day situations instead of being too harsh and ...

Thanks Renee & Ms ! ;-) Wow, you are niiiiiiiice !! Thanks !! :-) Some people try to be nice when they comment on your weight loss but they make you feel bad instead, even if they don't mean to do that.

Good points, Debs ... Hey, Debs ! ;-) Debs, you are the voice of reason. :-) It usually happens when I see someone who I haven't seen in a long long time, over a year ... there were a couple of those people last night. It was a bit on the annoying side ... the way they were commenting it was as if I...

Thanks, Yeah I was bound to have a bad day, lol ! I'm better now ... I am used to being careful with food and now with the rich meal I had and the wine glasses it caused mild discomfort for most of the night ... I am already back on track, I am doing good today and I'll cycle hard in an hour, it sho...

Yes, I was a drunken mess ! lol ! I even got up at 4am and I was watching TV (I had recorded 48 hours / The CBS show on saturday night / and also some BILLIARDS) and feeling terrible. I was almost throwing up ... not sure why. I did have a few glasses of wine, enough to get a lil' drunk even but not...
