Motivational Thread Dec 29 to Jan 4 - Ringing in the new you.
I would like to welcome the new people to the forum. UserNameOverload, I hope you can post with us.
Vicki, I knew there was a reason I needed to be here. I hope we can lose all our excess together. I really thought I could do this alone, but I am coming to count on people being here on the forum as well as a few new friends I have met on the trail. I'm going for 3.75 miles a day now. Shortened walk on Thursday so I can have breakfast and shower before Piano. Breakfasts - I am putting sugar back, in the form of 1 tablespoon of fruit syrup in my oats or on my waffle. I lost more weight when I allowed that. Lunches - I'm going for homemade soups this week. Dinners - Fish twice, salad every day, at least one more cup of vegetables. 2 liters of water daily |
Shoot! I just walked 2.75 miles in 1 hour. That is faster than last week, but it burned less calories according to the Activity Log.
I wonder how many calories I burned trying to keep my temperature regulated in the biting wind coming from the north. |
I am down a half a pound so the water is working. My rings are a bit looser too. Now we have the new year to look forward to.

Way to go, Libby!

Yeah, Libby!
Annette: You'll be running before long! I'm still at 293 as of this morning. Went grocery shopping for items on my food plan today. Getting ready to get back in my groove. Got a beef roast to fix for new Year's Day with carrots/onions for all and potatoes for a few--just not me! Looking forward to 2015. Vicki |
Not unless they make iron bras to hold these babies up.

I went shopping yesterday and bought a treat for myself in the form of low sodium crackers. I overdid it with snacking.
No more treats unless I can control my urges. |
Wishing everyone luck with their weight loss plan. My goal the last 2 weeks has been to not gain weight during the holidays, need to weigh myself, hope I stuck to my goal. My pants fit the same, Usually if I gain a few pounds my waistband feels tighter.
Did a low impact aerobics video a few days. I do miss walking, it is dark after work, I will start walking on weekends again. Took a few days off from work, did lots of cleaning, went to bed at 6 PM a few nights without eating dinner. I also started making smoothies with fruit, kale, lactaid milk or water, sometimes I add in peanuts or oatmeal or non-fat yogurt, I drink one for breakfast or dinner...this seems to be helping to not gain weight. Good Luck to all in the New Year!!! ;) |
Happy New Year to everyone. You are all very inspiring to me. Thank you so much. It's been 6 days and I overate one one day, but did well on the other days. It is a HUGE improvement from all the overeating I was doing up until then. Mental commitment, mindful eating, and logging everything in my food journal. I am in the honeymoon period--you know, that first week where you lose the most; probably a lot of it is water--and the scale is down 6 pounds. I weighed every day, but the fluctuations made me anxious, so I might go back to weighing once a week. May 2015 bring us all the goals we want to meet, and better health!

I wish us all the best in 2015.
