Mid-week sweep! How many miles ya got so far? How’s the strength training going?

Mid-week sweep! How’s it going with your plan so far? Have you been getting your PT exercises done? Did you decide to add in the ankle weights?

I have. I really don’t eat sugar as a general rule – definitely no added sugar as it’s not even in my house. When I added sweets back in, I chose xylitol which is all natural but lower carb and lower glycemic index. I use it in my coffee and anything I bake.

The one thing I use artificial stuff in is my water flavoring (I hate plain water).  My…[Read more]

Those first 2 or 3 days are brutal; after that, it’s really easy!

Went out with a friend tonight and got home late. Ate dinner and fell into bed 🙁

On a good note, I’m still inching toward 72 oz!  Hit 68 today

Had some graham crackers 45 min ago.  64 ounces today.  Heading to bed soon

Thanks Kathy. Interesting article. My psychologist told me to cut out chocolate, and concentrate on protein, but I didn’t do so well. She did tell me basically the same thing about the effects of sugar.  This plan gave me something to think about. Hmmm

Until you decide if/when/how a change may be in order, could you put aside some of that good paycheck for self care?  It may be labs, vitamins, a personal trainer, a massage. Anythi g that helps you be in your body and self-loving

I think Nikki said it all.

88 ounces so far.

I had my snack 60 minutes before bed last night and woke up at 3:15 this morning with my stomach growling. I’ll see how it goes tonight.

Updating.. I’ve had another 16 ounces for a total of 104.

88 ounces so far.

I had my snack 60 minutes before bed last night and woke up at 3:15 this morning with my stomach growling. I’ll see how it goes tonight.

Today is ending better than it started. I woke up at 3:15 this morning with my stomach growling and just never managed to get back to sleep. I did manage to get most of my errands run and my steps in.

Breakfast…well, that never happened.

Lunch… a Premier Protein water

Dinner… Broiled fish and broccoli.

Snack… I’ll figure it out.

I agree with What Nikki said.  And maybe your therapist has a point?  Wishing the best for you.

60 oz. as of 4 pm EST.

Slowly but surely it’s becoming a habit!

This says it ALL to me.

I love all these thoughts! We got into some of that in the book club session, and that’s in the workshops if you want to watch.

I also (poorly) led Sue through a body awareness exercise.

Like I said though, I will make sure that the next meeting is at a Sarah-friendly time! 🙂

“I should just surrender to the inevitability of not being successful this month.”

Let’s reframe that.

“I need to figure out what is the best effort I can make this month and commit to doing that.”

Nothing about any challenge here is ever gonna be “all or nothing.” That’s why any reward is attached to reporting back not to actually…[Read more]

No worries! You can go back and check in for past days. That’s allowed!

I’m glad you’ve been staying hydrated in this heat. None of us needs dehydration or heat exhaustion.

Kathy, I don’t do gyms, but I do workout and could certainly be an accountability buddy once a week!  Send me a private msg if you want to.

Speaking of working out, I started a new one yesterday and am so freaking sore!  I’m waddling like a penguin today.  I’ve been burning more calories in exercise (now around 600/day) and need more food.  My…[Read more]
