I have short hair, love it; i want to go shorter, however... I love long hair, love the way it swings, the way it looks in a bun, a ponytail, but, it's just not for me. I am a wash and wear type of girl and when I have long hair, it's just a gong sh…

I also like to work out and it's pretty annoying. I like to wear dresses, make up, curl my hair, all those girly things. My hair is naturally curly, and although I can blow it out in the cooler months, I like to wear it curly too. Sweating, putting…

What Kelly said! You are awesome and hopefully you'll be feeling it again in no time. For the record. I'm in the same boat you are. I've gained weight this summer and am determined to take charge again.

I have a hard time myself sticking to my low calorie days unless I eat a good amount of them at breakfast. I've found if I eat a high protein breakfast with atleast 1/4 or even 1/3 of my daily calories, it's easier for me to stick to lower calories…

I like to be a girly girl

I also like to work out and it's pretty annoying. I like to wear dresses, make up, curl my hair, all those girly things. My hair is naturally curly, and although I can blow it out in the cooler months, I like to wear it curly too. Sweating, putting it in a ponytail, putting a helmet on, all those things do not go well with curly hair. There are days when I finally think my hair looks nice and I HATE the thought of putting it in a ponytail or putting a helmet on, because it will ruin the look!

Day 2 was better, but still could use some improvement

My goal was to eat 1,200 calories and burn 350. I ate 1,500 and burned 0. I had a pretty good sized headache all day long and couldn't bring myself to go to class. Also, I ate too little during the day, went grocery shopping hungry, developed severe low blood sugar and then overate at dinner. So yes, much improvement needed.

Let's hope day 2 ends on a better note

Day 1 of 17 involved leftover flatbread, wine and icecream. Day 2 has GOT to be better. I'm back to work today so things are definitely more structured and therefore planned out. Also, the flatbread is gone. I have no social obligations tonight, so there's going to be no wine involved. Now, I just need to get myself to the gym after work.

Day 1 of 17

I know 17 days is a strange amount of time. I also know diets don't work. I have 17 days until a family wedding and my next beach vacation. I just got back from a small vacation and feel just aweful. I figure I can do anything for 17 days. I plan to weigh and measure all my food, stick to 1,200 calories a day and exercise for an hour everyday. I'm not sure if I'll lose weight, but at least I'll FEEL a heck of a lot better than I do right now. OK, the sun is shining. I'm off for a walk.

It's definitely a better week already

It's been a rediculously long time since I've posted and there's no good reason. I've been reading everyone else's blogs, but didn't feel I had anything to contribute. I even watched Roni's last video twice where she talks about being committed to your blog no matter how things are going for you.



For weeks and weeks and weeks I've been trying to reign it in, to get things back under control, and it hasn't been until the last 2 weeks that I feel like I'm making progress. This su

That's too funny that you have a daughter in Boston. I'm a MA girl ~ born and raised. Now that the boy child is 16 with his first "real" girlfriend I've really been feeling that time flies by too quickly lately. I remember when I was his best friend!!!

My sister went there from 1997-99. Small world!

I know, I have a little library of intuitive eating-ish books, and pick them up whenever I feel myself getting sucked back into the dieting world. They are timeless. Roth is definitely my favorite. Did you go to Oprah's webiste when she was on the show? There was a nice video of Roth outlining her seven principles. It might still be up there. I also like Koenig's books and recently read Health at Every Size.

Oh, and my sister went to Champlain and husband graduated from UVM--you live in a wonderful town!!

Hi Dani! I love her books too. They just make sense. It would be great to chat about them at some point. I have read When Food is Love, Breaking Free of Compulsive Eating, and When You have to Pull a Chair up to the Refrigerator...(can't remember the rest of the title!). I haven't read her latest though--seems like the Oprah appearance really got the word around!

And congrats on being your offices' resident wellness expert! very exciting!

LOL...I DID in fact go to Body Pump last night! And I ran/jogged 1.5 miles before class! I was definitely pooped out when I got home! Felt SO good though! Thanks for all your encouragement! You guys are the best!

Hey Dani! So you "like" BP 71? I HATE it! LOL It is really tough! Alot of cardio involved this time it seems! But I will continue to go, otherwise I'd never do my strength training! Plus doing it as a class pushes me much harder than if I would be out on the floor doing my "own thing" with weights! And I so agree about doing things as part of a class! There are about 6-7 of us girls that are ALWAYS at Body Pump and it gets pretty wild sometimes! All the giggling and goofing around! And if you miss a class....you'll be sure to hear about it! Another form of accountability I guess! Works for me! Have a great day hon!
