This is so great, every time I wanted to veer off course yesterday I stopped myself and said "no, I'm committed, not just interested in losing weight".
I was so inspired by you I went out and bought the book. I'm on Day 3 as well, and Just Do It is such a great message. Day 1 didn't go so well foodwise, but yesterday I was spot on, and will be again today. Thanks for sharing, you've given me a gift…
Great theme! One that I'm trying to get better about living by. Gotta live in the moment because the moment might be all we have!
I'm a bit high in calories, about 250 over what I aim for (1,250), but I am definitely calling today a success. No junk food, no sugar, the things I ate today were healthy, and with the exception of one item, clean, whole foods.
After this weekend…
Hello
I'm looking forward enjoying participating here... I'd lost (and maintained all but 18 pounds of that loss) 75 pounds since November 2005, and am now tackling the last 40 (closer to 50, but starting fresh)... which is still a lot, but compared to the 101 pounds I was looking at when I started this thing... it's doable.
There are new challenges in this for me now. Different living arrangements, new stresses that I am learning to work with instead of turning to food. For instance, I've discovered just how much of a help exercise is, which is great!
Anyway, looking forward to getting to know people here, I've already found other member's blogs so helpful, and I hope to help and inspire others as I move further on in the journey as well. :-)
GOALS - A SPECIFIC BREAKDOWN
Note: lest you think the numbers I am aiming for are impossibly low, I just want to point out I am 4'11", medium-boned, and my healthy weight range from WW is 99-124 lbs.

To be back in “the teens” – under 120.
To reach my WW goal - 111by 06/30/09 it takes as long as it takes, it's a lifetime change...
DAILY ACTIVITIES THAT I FOCUS ON:

Good Day

After this weekend of junking out, of pretty much finishing off a packet of Oreos singlehandedly (and I don't even particularly LIKE Oreos!!! What IS that?!), carrying on my theme of "be here now, enjoy life now", I woke up in the frame of mind that today is the day! I'… Continue

My awakening.
Yesterday, I was going through folder after folder on my computer looking for a picture of myself to send a colleague for a work project, and it was such an awakening for me.
I looked at the pictures from the last couple of years, pictures that without exception, I cringed at, found fault with, maybe "sorta" liked, but none ever found approval with me. I really, truth be told, hated them all, because I've spent the last couple of years hating how I look. (Well longer than that, self acceptance… Continue

Whatever else I do this week...
Whatever else I do, my goals this week are to:
Drink 12 glasses of water a day.
Eat 5 servings of veggies, 2 servings of fruit a day.
Drink 2 cups of green tea a day.
Exercise Mon, Wed, Thurs, Fri.
Baby steps.
I'm enjoying my Wii Fit Plus, and the Jillian Michaels Fitness Ultimatum (although I thought that Jillian's circuit training would be more seamless instead of having to press A between each exercise), they and my Jillian Michaels workout DVDs (I have the Shred and NMTZ) are good as I… Continue

Merry Christmas!!
I'm having a very nice Christmas, we're at the fiance's Dad's house, enjoying Christmas with him and his wife. Today was lovely, we enjoyed a great dinner, exchanged some nice presents, and went to see a movie.
Exercise is not happening, and that's okay. Food is awful, I'm having to eat things that I love, but that my body absolutely cannot tolerate, like rice and pasta. That said, I'm enjoying what I eat, eating sensible portions, not going overboard. We went to the Cheesecake Factory for the… Continue

Thanksgiving update
Well, didn't get my walk in (unless you count Black Friday shopping at midnight to 3am).
Food itself, I didn't stress over it, ate the things I really wanted, and passed on whatever didn't seem interesting, or whatever I knew I'd pay a price for (like mac and cheese, love the stuff, but I react badly).
SO... That's that one day, one meal over with. I enjoyed myself, and now back to real life. We go over to my SO's sister's house again for leftovers, and today I'll stick with turkey and ham, and… Continue

- Hey Suzyn, Thanks for your comments. We're in the middle of the blizzard of the century here (northern VA, near DC), and our Internet connection has been very intermittent. I LOVE this little book. Just what I need in the way of motivation. I think today's (day 6) is exactly what I need in social situations. My running program is falling apart in the snow, but I went out with the hubs and we cleared one lane of our driveway of super heavy, wet snow & I'm sure I burned a zillion calories. Happy belated birthday!

Ana said… - I'm fantabulous! I'm doing everything one day at a time and just keep staying in the game. I'm starting to love the challenge. I'm turning down stuff left and right. I can't seem to stop saying 'no' when before all i could do was say 'yes! yes! yes!' So I feel incredible ;D And I'm sorry about your dad. Hopefully your positive energy will cheer him up :)

- Hey Suzyn, how are you hun? Hopefully everything's going swell. But not literally I hope (we've got enough swelling to worry about lol)

- Hi Suzyn. I just read your updated profile. I have been so out of the loop lately, but it looks like you are taking on starting your weight loss journey over as well. Fill me in girl!

- OMG I agree! All you have to do is be sensible and do what's necessary and not restrict yourself so much, because just like you it's working for me! Who knew? I don't exercise as much as I used to on my former plan or eat as strict but I'm still losing and enjoying myself. Feels good! And I believe in the same thing: We are each significant in this world and put here to make a difference, no matter how big or small. I also believe that each person in their own way affects the rest of the world like the butterfly effect. For every person we lose, the world changes significantly than if they had been alive one more day--whether we realize it or not. So my purpose is to employ that power and make small affects to everyones life whether it be a small hello or smile to a stranger. Like a ripple, that kindness passes on to the next. So I've got only one thing to say : You're beautiful dah-lin! Stay sweet and commited!!!
