Alyss's Adventures out of Chubby Land (comments welcome)

[AlyssinWonderland]

Momof2minnies - Thanks for the advice! I'm having a tough time with eating breakfast! Not a morning eater! But going foreward! Thanks for your comments! So far our winter has been really mild! We've had about...hmmm 6-7 inches of snow now...that's nothing compaired to what is usually is and the temperature has been mild...mid 20's. I can't really complain. The first day of our "Real" snow fall though the traffic accidents were off the scale! It's was nuts driving around town...probably nothing like the lower 48, but for Anchorage it was maddness! I think my dad said the new reported 180 accidents. That's including Anchorage and the Mat-Su area... Out of Town a bit..45 minutes in normal traffic...Lots of people who work in Anchorage live in the MatSu Area...

Toystoryduo, Hello! and thanks for the welcome! Yep we had 5-6 inches..not too bad for here! It was really late this year...normally we have snow mid Oct...but nothing til a couple of days ago!

Stacie, Still haven't had a chance to Bean, but I'm following my points pretty well! Thanks for the comments!

Lesli54, Thanks! So far not too bad! My plan today has an indulgence and I'm way excited! LOL Thanks for the encouragement!

Amy&Dan, WW does seem like a good program. One of my roomies last time lost 30 lbs on the plan (while I was cheating ) and it went by pretty quickly. I'm glad we planned out our meals..it's just so easy to cheat if I don't! LOL

MIdanceMom, Oooh thanks for the links! I'll have to print off some the recipies for the girls and I to try! Are there any that are your favorites?


AmyBeth68, Thanks! I've been lazy here the last couple of days! But I'll make sure to post an update now! LOL Thanks for commenting!

Hi Alyss,

Hope you had a great weekend....Sending some for your week ahead.

 

[Amy&Dan]

Hi Alyss, hope you are having a good week! That traffic thing sounded awful! I hope your mild winter continues. Here in Colorado we are having a heat wave, it was 76 today, unheard of this late into Fall. Hope you are doing well, keep up your hard work, you can do it!

Welcome to the WISH board! Journaling really helps to keep on track, at least I find it does. Forgive your mistakes, but try to learn from them so they don't get repeated and you will find that you WANT to eat the good stuff and exercise! I was only at this for two weeks before a back injury sidelined me, and I MISS IT!! I can't wait to get back into my routine!

Anyway, congratulations on taking the first steps! Hope you have a good day!

Susan

Stacie- Thanks for checking in! I'm back! LOL

Toystoryduo- HI! Thanks for the Magic!

Amy&Dan- Wow 76 in Colorado! That is fantastic! I'm envious! It's been kinda of heat wave here as well lately! It's been raining the last couple of days so most of our snow is gone. Around 30 degrees! I"m pretty pleased, roads have been really good lately as well!

Susan- Thanks for the Welcome! Welcome to my journal! LOL Thanks for the encouraging words! Hope your back gets better soon!

Hello Everyone! Did you all have a good Turkey Day and Hoilday Weekend? I kind fell off the horse the last couple of days, but I'm going to be good the rest of the week!

A couple of weeks before I started my journal my Mom and I went Christmas shopping at JC Pennys and I bought the largest sized pants I've ever needed... size 22. She kept them to give them to me for Xmas. The day after Thanksgiving JCP was having a good sell on the same pants and so I decided to go buy myself a pair. I bought them w/o trying them on... you know...the dressing rooms on Black Friday... *shudders* anywhoo! Took them home and put them on later that day and they were too big!!! At least a size too big...thinking it was a fluke I tried on the ones my mom bought and low and behold....I'm now a size 20! YAY!!!! LOL

I didn't weighted myself at all last week...and I'm kinda scared too, but I'm determined to pop on the scale today at lunch! I was pretty good for breakfast, Ego waffles and a cup of tea... Today at lunch I'm either hitting the soup, or a turkey salad. Yum...I love turkey! Not sure what we'll be having for dinner yet, but I'm going to make a good choice!

I need to start exercising! I'm been really unmotivated for the last week or so...but I'm going to Bean either tonight or tomorrow moring! I can and I will!!! **MY attempt at motivating self talk** LOL Anyhoo! I'm going go read some journals now! Have a good day!!!

Congratulations on the smaller pant size, Alyss!

Hope you have a great Wednesday!

 

[larry's girl]

Congratulations on the smaller size clothes - GOOD JOB!! I am SO looking forward to having the same experience myself! I would like to hear about your exercising on the bean, too - there has been a lot of talk about it on these boards and I would like to hear what your impression of it is.

Hope you have a good one!

Hello everyone! Well...I've been very bad since I've last been here! I haven't regained that pant size (yay!) but I sure have not been careful with what I've been eating and there has no exercise at all. I'm going to recommit myself on Jan 1st. Today I'm going to go out and buy the My Alli starter kit and get myself set. I started a challenge and I have high or should I say Low hopes for the new year! LOL

How did everyone else do during the hoildays? I'm gonna go check out ppl's journals later today and tomorrow! Hope all is well! And a late HAPPY HOLIDAYS to everyone!
