Moderators: Soprano, automatedeating
so I can remind myself of how slack and lazy I've been compared to the one of Marc on his bike... It's a direct reflection of who's actually loosing and who's at a stand-still.
I had only 2 red days during the entire month of june ... THE WEAKNESS !!! 
Debs NO!!!It's just disappointing not to be 100% strong all the time and to fail ... temporarely at least ! I'm supposed to be perfect @ all times, right ??
I like your definitions. And interestingly...bluebunny27 wrote:BLUBBER

90% for the training, smooth sailing.
, and that's when I start to cheat myself. At the end of March, remember I discovered that I "snitched" over 2000 calories doing that. I cheat myself. I can't allow any cheats now. Anyway, I will gear up for September and be supercharged!!! You'll be in the 190s by then you brat. I am proud ! It'll be tougher to eat well and exercise too then, but I'll try to be good. 
... I guess I run more efficiently when I haven't done it the day before ... ... I'm on the dead run until then. It'll be weird to be in the maintenance mode too but I'm sure it'll seem rather easy compared to what I'm doing now. I worked out really hard yesterday, it was intense so I am glad it paid off. (Also I had a yellow nutrition day before that so I was probably a bit over yesterday for that reason) 7 would be alright though ... 
That's why I changed my training from green to yellow 2 days in a row. I still get benefits from a yellow training day of course and my % of compliance to that habit was 89% yesterday so I am overdoing it this month as I am supposed to be closer to 80% ... this means I can afford to relax a bit more and take 4-5 intentional yellows until the end of the month and I'll still end up over 80% ... nice ! It's good when you have options !
I'll see if I can handle it ... but I read there were benefits even starting this with a 1:3 work rest ratio instead of the pro athletes' 2:1 ratio, you just have to do a few more minutes then ... at least when you are a beginner with this method. 
Today, I should shovelglove and do jumping jacks inside since it'll be raining all day. 40 minutes, the diet should be yellow, I need a lil' break before the big finish in july, going under 201.0, BUT - I never thought of such a simple remedy as yours! My remedy always was to make another set of keys and hide them somewhere - usually in my car...and then I'd lock myself out of it.You think?! I hope it is the last tough month for you and I wish you well but I think you will find you'll have more than a few tough months ahead yet. It's the last few kilos (or pounds) that are the hardest to remove. I dropped 8 kilos in a few months easily and I've been sitting at my current weight and body fat for almost 2 years now. Admittedly I'm reasonably lean but trying to remove the final 2 or 3 kilos and show my 6 pack is MUCH MUCH MUCH harder than anything I've lost so far.bluebunny27 wrote:I will be glad when this month is over because it'll be my last 'tough' month, really ... I am almost reaching my final objective now and in the next 3 months I will only have to lose 3-4 pounds per month on average.
That will be easier than the 6-7-8 pounds pace I was keeping in april-may-june-july ...
'It's all good' ... yeah. using my peculiar phrases as well ... naughty. You should behave - - more !

Which one are you guys? Not #5... Ha! Yea, it's all good?
???????? Don't you mean *She* did the mash"He did the mash
He did the monster mash"
Wow! You'll soon be seeing that *1* Bunny!Ok, 201.0 on the nose this morning.
Good score, good score.
Up 3.4 pounds in a single day ??!! Yeah, I'd say that deserves a red, lol ! I guess I deserve it since I had too much pasta, meatballs, wine, beer, cookies, pie, etc. It was GOOD though.
I remember May... mine was all green! At least I'm still where I was weight-wise. On track with my new plan. You'll be seeing the 1 soon! Just be careful to not jump up and down on the scale! Debs We're waiting Marc! Remember, I'm impatient! I'll take it one week at a time now instead of planning 2-3 months in advance ! Baby steps, first thing is to get back on track right now, I don't want to gain another 5 pounds by the end of the weekend ! Debs July was a crazy month for me, I struggled early and then I was goooooooooood for a long while in the middle part and then crashing and burning at the end ... Debs 
You're the wiz !!And you just know you wouldn't feel close to full eating just those. It's scary how many empty calories we can all pack away and still feel quite literally empty.bluebunny27 wrote:Then I look at the side of the box, the nutrition label and it was like a horror show .... there were about 1,000 calories in a single one of those pastries (The recommended serving was 1/3 of one cake and that was still more than 340 calories !) My friend ate a single cake all by herself, lol ! So basically you eat 2 of those pastries and you can't eat anything else all day long (!)
I shouldn't have mentioned it... that cookie visual helped to lead me to that cookie I had, and it was only the wrapper! Absolutely no more visuals of over the top good stuff. You can do stuff like fish heads or pig snouts... yum! 
That... following the other one... kind of neutralizes the damage. Thanks. Next time I want a cookie, I'll find that one! I'm not talking about spaghetti or something that would be a bit on the messy side, anything, really ! The other day I finished his glass of wine since he said he had had enough (and I didn't want to waste it !) and he was almost throwing up seeing *ME* drinking from his glass of wine. He said : "I would never do that in a million years !!" Well, it was excellent wine, lol ! That doesn't bother me much, I would eat spaghetti even from other family members, it's all good. With a stranger it would be tougher of course, but I suppose if I was REALLY hungry I'd eat the food anyway ! I trained for 41 minutes at the soccer field. Running intervals of course. Went quite well. I was pushing hard all the way through.
I knew I had been really good yesterday, angelic behavior, diet & training, but I didn't know I had been *THAT* good, lol ! I drank plenty of water as usual and I ate normally yesterday. Hard to explain why I would lose 1.6 pound overnight. Normally on a double green day I lose 0.6 / 0.8 pound ...
