Thanks for the clarification, well everyday has been a challenge lately, so i might as well make it official hehe.

 

Sorry, in a silly mood, i am very excited, i just weighed in, and i am down to 77kilos. So another two kilos gone for good! Woo Hoo!

 

However, i think its still healthy for me to question this one. I have been eating well and been keeping busy, but had i made the time for some IE, i wonder how much better my result may have been? It has been two weeks since i last weighed in.

 

So you are my fellow caffeine addict! I must say that i recently changed jobs, and i work conveniently close to a really nice cafe now! It's very hard to resist temptation. But you know someone once told me not to cut anything out of my diet, no matter what it is, and instead to concentrate on adding. If we add fruit, we wont be as tempted by cake, If we add water, we will want less coffee quite naturally. Well thats the theory anyway.

 

take care, Crystal.

and a beautiful morning it is too.  windy and cold but sunny.  a couple more cold days then a bit of a warm up.

 

i am with Karen and am going to do the one day challenge.........................eveeryday from now on.  it worked so good for me yesterday getting all that ie done..................i am going to challenge myself to a one day challenge every day.

 

have nothing much planned for today except cleaning and exercise....................................and a small bday celebration...............................without the cake and ice cream.  going to celebrate it by setting higher standards for myself  and work daily to reach them.

 

will be in and out all day

 

hugs

 Well, the truth about the One Day Challenge has been unearthed by you sharp gals. I knew you would figure out my real incentive. It IS/WAS truly the One Day at a Time Challenge. I was hoping it would work for me, and for you. YAYYYYYY!

I don't feel great this morning but I think I am overdoing with the painting and ALso I am breathing paint fumes (even though interior latex) all day and night and that can't be too good for an old body.  Also I am suffering the consequences I believe of my weight gain.

I have SO much to do to get "moving house" as CRYSTAL puts it.  Still another two days of painting, maybe three. Maybe FOUR the way I am feeling today.

But boy oh boy am I SLEEPING well, since quitting the stinkin' graveyard job. I am having a "holiday" as SUSIE would say. And I deserve it.

ODAAT (One Day At A Time) Challenge - I wasn't planning on sticking to it, but this morning I think I will try it for just one more day. Heh Heh. ;<) I have to TRICK myself into these things.

WEIGH-IN I weigh in at 191 this morning. It was worse last week so I am making progress!

Lots of love and gratitude to all you beautiful, smart ladies,
Raven

Raven................thanks buddie.  I knew you would know we would figure it out.................lol  thanks for the push though.  sorry the paint fumes are getting to you.  did you get the writing job???  I must have passed over that post.  yaaaaaaaaahooooooooooooo  congrats

 

had my bfast and thought i would come and check in.  will be heading off to get some IE started, and then taking the meat of the bones of the cornish hens for salads.  I will take some as a regular meal to with veggies, but mainly for the 2 or 3 salads for meals.  I am going to try to duplicate..........as close as possible..........the salad i got last week with the cranberries and pecans, but i will be using the sunflower seeds.  If I take regular dressing(ff of course) i dip my fork into the dressing and then the salad, but I also bought some of the salad spritzers to try too.  Its a good way to control the amount of dressing used.

 

My foods for this week promise to be really good choices and i am making a list of things to keep me away from the junk should any show up at work.  I am going to tackle a couple of flights of stairs...............going up..............this week also.  And I can always walk the unit to make sure I get all my steps in.  Hopefully work will be a lot quieter than last week.  That kind of excitement I can do without..........................for sure.

 

will be back in a bit.  time to ride the bike

RAVEN - You sure have been working hard gal.  Isn't there someone you could lasso into helping you........sounds as if you still have tons to do.

 

Well I succeeded in your 1-Day At A Time Challenge yesterday and am working at it again today.  Fortunately I lost 1 lb. last week and it is about time. 

 

You are making progress too I see.  Good for you.

 

Hugs,

Shirley

TERESA - Your sweet Mom sure has a good sense of humour.  Glad to hear that she did not hurt herself.

 

You should have a weight loss this week with all your IE.......can't wait to hear.  I lost 1 lb. and it is about time but then I was doing the 1-Day Challenge yesterday........and continuing today.

 

Hugs,

Shirley

KAREN - Happy to hear that you registered too.......we need all the resources we can get.

 

Also the 1 Day Challenge has got me motivated again........needed something to get me going again.

 

Hugs,

Shirley
