Hey Girls!

Today was better for me. I did get a much needed piece of dark chocolate. God I just sat and licked it. Joe said that must be how I learned to give head...which then gave him some new ideas for fun!!

My ankle seems to be much better so I walked for 15 on the treadmill and did 20 on the bike with the resistence raised so I really felt the burn.

I am soon to be in the hut myself and PMS is really getting to me this month. I wonder if it is the change in diet and exercise that has triggered it to be so bad?

Keep up the good work and don't let set backs get you too down!!

As far as I can figure right now, I'll be finishing my day considerably under my limit. And I'm down another pound. I think I'm going to try that plan that lets you vary your caloric intake to fool your metabolism.....was that the "wendie" plan? Anyway.....whatever it's called, that's what I'm going to try. If for no other reason than to not feel so deprived. If you can have a day periodically where you can indulge yourself a bit, it should be easier to do the stricter days.

Congrats to everyone on their progress!

For a nice change, I'm ending today at the low end of my calorie range ... too busy at work today to think about lunch .. though I did have a 100 calorie protein type snack somewhere in there ... then stopped to do my laundry after work, so by the time I got home it was time to fix dinner .... heading off to bed now ...yay ...

great job SS ... wonderful that you are making progress!

TTess ... glad you enjoyed that chocolate ... when we allow ourselves treats, the experience should be enjoyed to the fullest!

Lil .. I feel your .... um .... pain ... the good thing about the hut is that we get to come back out of it after a bit of time there! You've been doing great on the elyptical ... so I bet once you get out of the hut again, you'll see a big improvement!

osuche ... great job with the day and the dinner.

Happy Thursday everyone!

Well...still maintaining that pound loss for the week, which is nice. Also happy because my abs are feeling much tighter...and I *did* get a compliment yesterday from a co-worker on my thinner appearance.

Other than that...we're headed to Monterey this weekend for a romantic weekend. I can't wait! 2 nights at a hotel on the beach...room has a fireplace and a balcony. It should be lovely.

yay osuche for the pound loss, the abs feeling good, the person noticing and especially for the upcoming trip ... have a wonderful time with your man!

ending another day inside the calorie range ... g'night everyone.

It's Friday, and considering I only made it to the gym once this week plus the lunchtime walking one day, a three-pound loss is more than okay with me.

Last night, my sweetie and I went to eat Mexican for dinner. Normally, that thought terrifies me--Mexican food is not the most diet stuff in the world--but I'd planned it out, and I had more than enough flex points for the remainder of my week (yesterday), so I ate what I wanted to--and didn't give it a second thought. I'm sure that knowing I made good choices in what I ate helped, but I ate as much of my steak fajitas as was comfortable, and I even had a few chips and salsa. It was nice to be relaxed and know that, no matter how much I DID decide to eat, I was still going to be okay and working towards my goal again this morning.

I had a night like IAKGs, althought I have no flex points that I know of. We ate out at a Thai restaurant and I had whatever I wanted. I am sure the salt alone will make me bloated. But I worked almost a 1 2hour day, had no lunch, and LOTS of stress. So I took it out on food. Bad me.

However, I am much more proud of fzzy and IAKG, who alwyas stay on task.

I'm headed out this morning -- be back on Sunday. I hope everyone has a great weekend!

They've changed? I haven't been to the website in a while since I use the software. I'll have to check it out and see if there's an upgrade for the software. Thanks for the heads up!

Alright pixies, I've not been on the treadmill everyday and therefore not posting much here. Starting today, I'm renewing my committment - though I know it will only be short lived as I have a couple of trips in the next three weeks. But I need to get my act together beforehand! One of the trips does involve a hotel stay and I'm taking my sneaks and gym clothes and hoping I can get on the treadmill each day while there. The other trip does not involve a hotel but I'm going to do my best to find someway to get my ass moving during that trip.

So, this morning I got up, had my breakfast - opened every window in the house and got on the treadmill. I only did 30 minutes but had my heartbeat going fast the whole time.

I also packed away all my winter coats this morning into the back of the closet. What a tremendous feeling! I forgot how much I love spring. It is incredibly rejuvenating for me. Today is cleaning day at my house and let me tell you, I have got some major cleaning to do!

I've been sucking eggs again I'm in the hut and eating from the the major food groups, salt and chocolate. I know by next week I'll be back on track.

I just logged in and found my beloved site got a facelift! But the functionality is still the same. Looks good to me too, Lil.

After a 3 days weekend with 3 days between 2000-2500 calories, I Haven't been doing stellar. But I *have* been very active -- we walked for hours each day!

Also, my big accomplishment...We BIKED 22 miles (a good portion uphill) through Monterey to 17 Mile Drive and back. Was one of the most beautiful experiences of my life -- gorgeous seside scapes. And ME -- un unfit arthritic -- managed to bike that far! It was really cool (oh, and I estimate I burned 1200 calories from the bikeride alone).

Mr Osuche and I are thinking about buying bikes and doing that more often.

STrange thing....my butt hurts a little bit (the seat was like butt-floss) but otherwise I feel fine -- we even went on a 90 minute walk through Carmel today (a good portion of it uphill). Go Me!

Damn I love vacation

sounds like you did wonderfully osuche... great job!

I've been a bit high on my calories all weekend, but will get back on track tomorrow ... sometimes, I think you just have to allow a little more leeway ... as long as it's not a final slip and just a short one... well, I don't intend to keep slipping, tomorrow will be a much better day!

I managed to go down 1.5 lbs this week. I don't think I'll reach my goal by Friday (which seems to keep getting farther away even as I lose). I have an additional 1.5 lbs to get to my goal. I'm okay with missing it. I'll get there soon enough.

Half of this weekend was a disaster but I did everything I could to keep it from impacting my food choices. Luckily I had made some exceedingly good decisions before disaster struck.

This week is going to be a busy one for me and my biggest challenge between now and Friday is to make sure I get on the treadmill everyday.
