Join Me in a Recommittment to Healthy Lifestyle

[windwalker]

Here lately I have been getting slack in leading the healthy lifestyle. I have been eating way to much and not exercising nearly enouth. I can't even remember to stretch.

As of today I'm recommitting to leading a healthier lifestyle. Eating proberly, exercising and stretching.

I had to buy a pair of jeans yesterday for my trip to the Pig that was the next size larger in the waist. Does anyone have any idea how much that hurt.

Anyone else out there need to get back on the wagon?

Dave:hippie:

Think how much more it would have hurt if you hadn't bought the right size!:)

Yes, I'm trying to do the same and improve my health! Drive that old wagon here to PA so I can hop back on!

Vertual high 5 kiena. Yes we can.

:hippie:

Ok, add me to the list. After picking up Kiena, please come get me in Arkansas. I had grand plans to lose some weight before this summer. :rolleyes1

I think I've lost 5 pounds but I needed to lose around 20. I wanted to lose 40 by next January. :guilty:

Congratulations on stepping onboard with recommitment. It is ceratinly not easy to resist the temptations. While I've been doing fairly well these days this place I find myself in now is where I usually bag it and fall off.

I'm going to offer that I will remain committed to the choices of a healthy life.

I am going to recommitt to a healthy lifestyle. I have slacked off on exercising after the Disney 1/2 marathon.

If you're like me you do ok most of the time but sometimes you just loose focus on our goals. You can kick those extra pounds. Yes Yes Yes.

Yep Lan, me to, one excuse after another. I need to just do it and focus on taking the time to exercise and make the right choices.

We can do this, YEA BABY!!!

Today my goal is to drink green tea for my caffeine fix instead of my usual 2-3 cans of Diet Coke. I don't add sugar to the tea so it has to be much healthier than the Coke stuff.

I'm going to miss the bubbles:sad1:

You are doing great, keep believing.

I had the best walk this morning. Remember the motivational comedy movie about the Jamacian Olympic Bob Slead Team, "Cool Runnings", there is a song in that movie called "Rise Above It". That was my mantra today and will be for the future.

When I hit the wind going up the hills today "Rise above it" kept me on pace and I did my 4 miles with the hills and wind and slower warm-up mile in 50 min. Here lately I've been doing around 53 min for that route. Today felt easy because I was recommitted to me and making it happen.

My eating yesterday was good today will be good to. I will make this happen!!!!

Everyone we can do this.

I not only need to get back on the wagon, I think I need to reconstruct it first. I'm here with you and rebuilding as I type.

Better and stronger. Yea Baby!!!

I found this great stuff, Birds Eye frozen veggies that you steam in the microwave. Then take the wrapping off and eat it. 60 calories and good. I come home starved at night after work and this kills the hunger and is good for me with super low calories.

Dave:hippie:

[disnutt]

Well, it didn't take long to fall off. :sad2: Yesterday I went out to eat and ordered a Diet Coke out of habit. I took a couple of sips when I felt the sickening realization of what I had just done!:scared1:

I asked the waitress if she could bring me a glass of water. No problem! Gave her back the Diet Coke glass just about full. Told her what I was trying to do and she said she would take it off the bill. How nice!

We fixed a nice salad bar dinner at home where I but greens, veggies and fruits in little bowls along our counter along w/ little bits of left overs. We all ate a healthy dinner w/ no whining from the kids because they think it's fun.

I'm hitching the wagon up again today!:woohoo:

[windwalker]

I'm starting to get the fire and confidence back. 2 days of good eating choices under my belt and I went to the market today to restock us with good stuff.

Everyone is doing great, that was a plus that the kids liked the healthy eating plans. Our daughter is very anti healthy, she is a rebel, but she will come around eventually. But she is 20 and works so it's not an effect on our eating plans.

I had a good workout today and my confidence is letting me experiment with my limits again. Instead of staying in the comfort zone.

Be strong today.

I will join in to stay committed. I have lost 17 pounds since Goofy trip but this week has been tough and with another WDW trip for Minnie, things could get bad. I will have to be back in the saddle after Minnie:scared1:

I feel your pain Robert. I'm heading to Cincinnati to have a 4 day party weekend with OMG Marathoners. Some of which train an ungodly 100 miles a week. As you can guess eating will be job one for this group. Grilled burgers and brats, beer and those vodka chick drinks will be flowing.

I have managed to drop 3 pounds this last week and should be able to drop another couple before the weekend. With any will power at all I might be able to at least not gain all of it back.

I will have a half marathon in there to so that should help a little.

[miranda1979]

we (me and mom) got back on to the track and we have been going to the track and the gym. We also did out first 4 miles in 54mins. Yeah. we were very happy. Now can't wait to go down on the scale to. :) good luck everyone!

[wdw4us]

Yes and those 4 miles consisted of some hills, no sidewalks for most of the way but we still managed!

Hooray for us!

Erica and I always wear our iPods when we race or train. In the Oct race we will probably be to busy chatting to worry about the music.

Dave:hippie:

[windwalker]

Training and eating going much better now. I'm still hungry all the time but I'm determined to not have to wear that pair of size larger jeans.

I'm eating 4 times a day:

Breakfast: Cereal with banana and skim milk, coffee, water, vitamin

Lunch: steamed veggies, tuna

Dinner: salad and plain baked potato

Later Dinner: steamed veggies.

Lots of water and tea


I've lost 3 pounds this last week with this plan and averaged 28 miles a week of walk training.

Walk/run strong, eat healthy and keep smiling y'all.

Dave:hippie:

[miranda1979]

Thats awesome Dave. I could not eat so little...Maybe I need to be more determind. I did alot of exercise in the last couple of days, hopefully by the end of the week weigh in I will be good. :) good luck everyone!

[disnutt]

Wow Dave. That's a great loss!

I'm doing much better w/ my eating. Did lose one pound this past week so I'm feeling:banana:

Went to our local park office today to get a map of their trails because I'm wanting to run some since it is getting nicer out. I hope to save my knees from constant running on asphalt.

Keep up the good work!

[windwalker]

I was packing and (do any of you ever do this try several things to see what fits before you pack it) I was tickled to discover that I've lost enough to get in my regular jeans again. The new pair of size larger get to stay home. Yes Yes Yes :yay: :yay:

Then I packed a pair of shorts that fit and a few T-Shirts. Of course the race shirt will be florecent yellow/green and say WISH on it. Got the WISH bracelet out also.

We are off early in the morning so might not be back on till tuesday, I'm taking the laptop but not sure if I'll have a chance to use it.

Walk/run strong, eat healthy and keep the smile in place.

Dave:hippie:

[miranda1979]

Good luck Dave! Have fun and say hi to the mouse for me. And yes I try everything on and check with my boyfriend for opinons. He usually says yes to everything. :) because he is well trained.

Have fun. see you when you get back

[windwalker]

We are getting ready to head home from the Piggy weekend. It was to, we ate way more and way bad. From burgers and dogs to rasberry chip icecream we were bad, oh my yes.

Time to get back to reality now and start the training and eating properly again. I think it's good to take a pig out break a few times a year just to keep from burning out. Anyway that's my story and I'm sticking to it.

Hope everyone had a great weekend, we sure did.

Dave:hippie:

[disnutt]

Dave- Congrats on the Flying Pig! It sounds like the WISH group had a great time!

I went to the in-laws this weekend and I need to come up w/ some survival plans for future visits there. I feel I have no control over what/when to eat. Despite trying to eat smaller portions I know the food is higher in fat than I would normally eat.

Next time I'm going to take some snack/drink options and that I've preselected so I'm not totally dependent on what is offered. That used to seem rude now it just seems like a survival technique.

[ultramickeymouse]

I am having(still) a bad eat and drink week. I agree if you work hard and loss (17 pounds) in 3 1/2 months, a bad week is ok. We (DW) and I had a great race weekend. Walked 5K in 41:46(13:29 pace) on Sat and 15K in 2:07:35(13:38 pace). The weight loss really help in getting my speed back. That helped burn some of those chicken wings we have been eating at ESPN and All Star Sports. Have to have a taste comparison test.:lmao: Today to be bad for my B-Day at Biergarten lunch:cool1:

Visit my site as I took way to many pics of the 2 races and my WISH friends:banana:

See you all at ToT in October! Keep up the good work.

Wow Robert you and your lady had some good times there. You are way better than your previous times, that Goofy next year will be a breeze for y'all.:cheer2:

Disnutt, I feel your pain darlin. We had the best party weekend but the food was not healthy fare, beer, grilled burgers, smoked sasuages at the Ball Game.:)

Ok guys when the parties are over it's back to the twigs and bark for me. I will get up tomorrow ready to eat healthy again and dream about that huge chocolate covered waffle cone filled with rasberry chip icecream I had last night before bed.
