DIS Ladies Only Trip 2007 WISH!

[DrillSergeant]

What the heck is this??

I am gone for a little while and what do I come back to?

I know you are not going to give me excuses. Where will excuses get you??? No where!! That's where!! It's just the crap you tell yourselves to make you feel better about not doing what you know you are supposed to be doing.

What I want to see is some will power people. You will ask yourself what is more important? What will make you feel better?? That piece of cake? Or looking darn good when summer comes?

I know you want to look good. If you didn't, you wouldn't be here. So put down that extra slice of pizza. Walk away from that candy. Get off your butt and stop with the sorry excuses. Walk! Run! Move! Do whatever you have to do to get your butt in gear. Understand me??

I want to see motivation!! I want to see at least a 2 lb loss for everyone next week. There is no reason you all cannot do that and more.

It isn't easy! Did you think it would be??? No one did this to you, but you. And no one is going to change it but you.

So get off your butts and move it!!!
Move it! Move it! Move it!

Wake up, wake up DIS ladies! (Wake up, wake up DIS ladies)
I've been up since half past 3 (I've been up since half past 3)
Workin, sweatin all day long (workin, sweatin all day long)
That's what makes us good and strong (that's what makes us good and strong)

Thanks for stopping by Drill Sergeant. I think we needed a little tough love here.

 

[AdventurerKat]

Good morning all. Well, I am home with the kids today. I do bad on water when I'm at home, I tend to drink more soda but I am going to try not to do that today. Now that I am free from the trouble of my late days at work, I think I will have an easier time of staying on track. I would get hungry between 2:30 and 4:30 and grab whatever was nearby. Which was usually candy. I won't have that temptation then.

Good luck to everyone getting through this weekend. We didn't buy the kids alot of candy which is good so I won't be eating some of it.

 

[TinksPixieDust]

Morning everyone! I'm also home with my DS today. I havent been drinking enough water myself.

I think the Drill Sergeant scared everyone. I wonder why some have stopped posting?? COME BACK LADIES!!!

Hi all! I am still around. Just very busy with Holy Week and some other church activities. I am not sure how I will do Sunday. I love jelly beans and although I did not buy any, there are sure to be some where I will be going. I bought an (almost) 11 pound ham from Honeybaked and plan on making mac & cheese. I only make the mac and cheese once a year (Easter) because it is so good its bad--5 types of cheeses, a stick of butter, half and half...

So, I may skip the weigh in next week...

Christine, this is going to be a tough weekend for alot of us. We'll be past these holidays soon!

 

[AdventurerKat]

So we went to the egg hunt today and I am happy to say I did not eat ANY of the candy involved. There is still some left but since I am a chocoholic and all that candy is gone, I believe at this point I am safe.

I still have that rum chocolate in the refrigerator but frankly, as much as I like alcohol and chocolate, the rum in it is just a bit too strong to make it appetizing to me to keep eating.

I do believe I will make it through this weekend chocolate free.

 

[AdventurerKat]

Alright. I admit it. Yesterday I had two chocolate eggs.

 

[kelsco99]

I was horrible this weekend. Not only did I have chocolate and a lot of it, I didn't eat anything remotely healthy on Saturday or Sunday. On Friday I had turkey dinner but I ate too much.

I spent much of the weekend feeling sluggish and sometimes ill but I continued to eat junk.

Today, I have no urge whatsoever to eat chocolate or anything greasy. I am looking forward to my blueberries for breakfast and my portion controlled frozen dinner for lunch.

 

[TinksPixieDust]

I need to admit to myself and ya'll that I had chocolate over the weekend. I did stick it in the freezer though. I do not like eating frozen chocolate. So by the time I pull some out to let it thaw the craving is small or completely gone.

I need to work on my portions as well. I have been getting lax on it. I need to check in more often here then I do.

 

[TDC Nala]

I had a couple of platefuls of tiramisu.

 

[JennaTX]

I have been avoiding this thread lately.

I have not been doing anything good or healthy. For some reason the kids having four days off for Easter did me in more than Spring Break.

I think I am going to use one of the passes on weigh in tomorrow, I know it won't be good, and I don't want to get so discouraged.

So starting tomorrrow, I am going to be around on this thread more.

I think after Easter we are all going to need some encouragement!

 

[AdventurerKat]

Good morning all

Jenna, I think we may have a few people pass today and that's why I made days like this. Sometimes its just better to do that.

I am up a pound today. I was kind of expecting it. I'll get rid of it and then some for next week.

My goals for this week. I'm going to make them little ones.

More water.

Get in some more walking.

No after dinner snacks.

 

[TinksPixieDust]

Stopping by to check in. I went to Curves today. Now if I can only get myself to go more then just once a week. I went to bed early lastnight.. when my alarm went off I was awake and refreshed. I need to do that more often.

My goals for this week.

More water

Smaller portions

No snacking after dinner!

I hope that everyone had a great day!

Get Others Involved
Don't be a Dieting Loner
-- By Mike Kramer, Staff Writer


Coaches, mentors, trainers, teammates, partners, fans. Even the greatest athletes in the world can’t do it alone.

People naturally perform better when others are on their side and helping out. Even in everyday weight loss and fitness, we’ve found that people who involve others and ask for help get much better results and stick to their programs longer than people who try to go the distance on their own.

Why is that? For starters, positive peer pressure can be one of the most powerful motivators around. It’s tougher to quit when someone else is counting on you. In fact, with a team that’s pulling for you, it’s less likely that you’ll want to quit.

When you involve others, you have access to more knowledge, more ideas, more enthusiasm, and more resources. Bicyclists and race car drivers are finding out that they need teammates looking out for them if they have any chance at all of winning. You can take advantage of the same benefits.

Finally, having other people help out just makes weight loss a heckuva lot more fun. In particular, if your Fitness Personality is a Social Scene Exerciser, and you’re trying to lose weight alone, you’re probably bored out of your mind.

Your weight loss goals are every bit as important as those of a world-class athlete. This is why the Spark Diet puts so much emphasis on meeting and getting to know other members. We’ve seen the spark that happens on the support message boards, when members rally behind someone who’s struggling, or congratulate the latest success.

Business people draw on a team of accountants, lawyers, financial advisers, headhunters, board members, etc. Together, they form a team of specialists that open up possibilities to that businessperson and his/her business goals. You can build a similar team around your weight loss goals. People that can help with your diet are all around you. You can do this without making a lot of demands on anyone’s time. Some possible ways to build a strong team by only asking one thing of each person:

~Ask a friend to check with you once a week to see how you’re doing.
~Ask your spouse to be there when you need to unload.
~Ask a coworker to keep you upbeat.
~Ask your kids to help you find ways to have active fun.
~Ask your brother-in-law to pass along inspirational reading and interesting health news.
~Ask your photographer sister to take "before" and "in-progress" pictures.

Better yet, why not ask someone to join your weight loss quest? Going through and succeeding with a weight loss program with a friend or diet buddy can create a bond that carries over into other areas of your life.

Just a quick drive by... been very busy today...

Kat I will weigh in tonight even though the news isn't great...

I see that so far everyone had a tough week - I guess we should all recognize this as one of the tough times and not doing well was not a personal failure - next week will be much better

 

[ZPT1022]

I also think the loss of our thread has affected our enthusiasm for certain things so we can't let that affect us here!

That's the excuse I'm going with. I've been doing so-so lately. Do really good for awhile and then get off track. Like this morning I started with Carnation Instant Breakfast and remembered all my vitamins and meds. Then I had Taco Bell for lunch I really want to order pizza for dinner. I've been wanting this pizza for over a week. The craving has not gone away. I don't know if I should just keep not ordering it or just order it and get it over with before I break their door down and eat seventeen pizzas by myself or something else awful. My weight has stayed the same this week. I really didn't do too bad for Easter, I wanted to snag some candy from the kids baskets but gave myself a guilt trip about stealing from the kids that seems to be working. I did have three small pieces of Lindt chocolate, but that only tallied about 165 calories, so really not too horrible overall. This afternoon I was in CVS and forced myself to walk by and not look at the Easter clearance. I need to get out and start walking more. I also need to find a snack that actually satisfies me. I've been having those 100 calorie packs and they're okay but I want to eat the whole freaking box of them. I know part of that is re-establishing real portions but still it is not a lot of food. I have a feeling my two year olds would ask for more after one of those. I see I'm not the only one feeling this way which is reassuring in a way. I need to get my butt in gear though, my friend and I are supposed to be doing the Breast Cancer 3 day at the end of this summer and that will kill me if I don't get in better shape by then.

It's a tough road ahead.. But if we keep at it we'll get there. NO GIVING IN LADIES!!!!!

 

[TDC Nala]

I've got no excuse. I don't live with anybody else so I don't have any good reason to bring in anything I shouldn't be eating or drinking if I'm serious about weight loss.

 

[TinksPixieDust]

I did alright yesterday. Hoping I can do better today.

Hope that everyone had a good day!
