Great job!
I finished the second day of Boot Camp today. It about killed my arms, but I feel good. It's nice getting "back into a routine". I was getting my body into great shape and then I just stopped - and kept eating. Not a good combination.
I did really…
YES! You can do it!!
I did *pretty* good while out of town. Here are my goals for the week:
1. Stay OP
2. Boot Camp T, W, Th, F
3. Walk 3 mi one of those days
Okay, that's all - short and sweet tonight!
Love it!! How can you go wrong with such GREAT advice! Keep up the good work!
Well, hello there! It's been awhile. What have you been doing since you've been gone? What's that? Gained 8 pounds back? Time to get back in gear, then.
A few considerations:
WI is tomorrow -- don't get down if you're up.
Traveling on Saturday --…
I also put on the "romance" pounds -- but mine was like 20, instead of 10. I'm back to where I was when we first started dating...but still have a long ways to go.
It's SO great you're back on BTL and even better that you have a PLAN of attack! You…
I often "sneak" food too. We are silly. We should get over this. When I first started losing weight, I vowed never to eat alone. If I had to go outside and eat with strangers I would. This helped a little.
You can and will find your way! You can an…
Because I feel like I'm living the same day over and over again.
I talked to my WW leader and decided to switch over to the Simply Filling technique. I've been in a tracking rut and am SICK of counting points. The first day was great. Then the week…
Oh my goodness....how good does that tater-tot hotdish sound to me right now!!?!? SO good! Getting the afternoon munchies!
I never add my recipes in...I really just Guess-timate. And I usually guess high...just in case. Like last night I think I had about 1 cup of Tater-tot Hotdish (yep..true mid-westerner!!) and I guessed at 7 points?? I guess guessing is better than n…
I'll admit it...I HATE tracking. BUT...I also know it works. I've just been slacking big time in the tracking department, which is why I'm about 3-4 pounds above my 10%. Mind you, I hit my 10% goal in April. And have been gaining/losing the same 3-4…
YOU CAN DO IT!!
I've been in the same mode of "not putting myself first". I had to have a little self-brainstorm last night and remind myself of the things I like about myself, what I want to improve on and the "treats" I can give myself (i.e. taki…
You can do it!

Boot Camp
I finished the second day of Boot Camp today. It about killed my arms, but I feel good. It's nice getting "back into a routine". I was getting my body into great shape and then I just stopped - and kept eating. Not a good combination.
I did really well yesterday, except for a minor slip up with a few cookies. But today's a new day and I will focus on taking it one minute at a time.

A few considerations:
WI is tomorrow -- don't get down if you're up.
Traveling on Saturday -- the pounds still go with you when you travel. Why eat crappy just because you're "away from home". Use that time to be ULTRA-focused on what you eat.
Stick with it -- don't keep talking yourself out of things that are good for you, like tracking and… Continue

Am I in the movie "Groundhog Day"
Because I feel like I'm living the same day over and over again.
I talked to my WW leader and decided to switch over to the Simply Filling technique. I've been in a tracking rut and am SICK of counting points. The first day was great. Then the weekend was a total blowout. Beer, pizza, quiche...definitely NOT filling foods.
Plus, I always eat crappy when my husband is out of town. It's like I'm all alone, and so I'll just raid the kitchen. I'm sure it's part being lonely and I'm sure a big part… Continue

Track this!
I'll admit it...I HATE tracking. BUT...I also know it works. I've just been slacking big time in the tracking department, which is why I'm about 3-4 pounds above my 10%. Mind you, I hit my 10% goal in April. And have been gaining/losing the same 3-4 pounds for the past three months. Did I mention I'm...like...totally no where close to my goal weight? I have another 30 pounds to lose.
I made a goal that I would track "at least five days a week". Well, after two weeks of that -- I've settled on,… Continue

- Thanks for the comment Allison! I need all the positive energy I can get! I am going to work on one of those brainstorming sessions you mentioned. I hope that you are having a great day and the tracking is going good.

- Hi girl!
I'm so with you on the baby weight! Last January, when I was diagnosed with Stage 2 Hypertension, my doctor told me to lose weight before I got pregnant. I went from 200 pounds in January to 178 in May and I was so excited with the prospect of a tiny wedding dress for my September wedding! Then it got hot. I hate summers in Texas, they just suck. The last thing I wanted to do was work out and then sit around being hot. So what did I do? I just didn't work out. BIG MISTAKE! I was back up to 190 by my wedding. Don't get me wrong, I LOVE my wedding dress! I had a fabulous time at my wedding and my husband still thought I was beautiful. His eyes totally lit up when he saw me, even at 190 pounds! But then, I just kept on blowing things off. Recently I actually found my way back to fast food. UGH! I hate the way fast food makes me feel! Today is the day I'm back on track. I turned 40 in December and was told by another doctor to basically get my butt in gear and have a baby or I won't have the opportunity. UGH!
Anyway, thanks for the comment! I look forward to seeing what else you write about!

Tryingtogetthin said… - Thanks for the lovely comment! After an evening like I've had (got nipped in the face by the new puppy and wondered if it needed stitches) it's nice to read something encouraging.
Congrats on your upcoming nuptials...you will make a beautiful bride!

Kari said… - Allison I just wanted to say thank you for taking the time to offer me some really encouraging words. Thank you for reminding me that these slow changes that I'm making will make a longer lasting effect in the long run. Congrats on the 20lbs. I think I'll find something 14lbs and stick it in a bag and go for a walk with it.
