Hi everyone!

It's really good to "see" everyone that's made it back to this thread.

I'm going to Disney in less than 2 months and need to lose 10 lbs so that I don't have to buy all new clothes. I did walk 3 miles yesterday and I'm aiming to walk/run 6 miles a day at least 3 x's a week just like I use too and just as soon as school starts back Thursday.

Hope everyone has a great and healthy day.

Looks like we will be at the world at the same time! where r u staying?

I like how mony said she didn't want to feel like she was on a diet...me neither. Even if it means it takes twice as long for the weight to come off, I want to feel like I am living a normal life where all of my thoughts and decisions don't revolve around food and my next meal.

Not sure if any of you watch the Real Housewives of NYC or Bethenny Getting Married, but Bethenny Frankel is one of my faves on that series. She has a book, Naturally Thin, and I could not put it down. It's not a diet and she doesn't tell you what to eat but she gives her 10 rules for unleashing your inner skinny girl. I honestly cannot think of them all off the top of my head but rule #1 is "Your diet is a bank account". So for example, if you have a carb heavy breakfast like pancakes or a bagel, then you should balance it at lunch time with some protein and veggies. Another one is "Taste everything, eat nothing" meaning when you are out to dinner or faced with food challenges, let yourself have a taste of everything but don't feel like you have to eat it all. "Check yourself before you wreck yourself" is just my favorite to say, but it's about bingeing. Sort of self-explanatory. I'm really trying to follow her "rules" because they really do make sense and it takes away that "I can't eat this or that because I'm dieting" feeling. My main thing that I'm really trying to work on is mindless munching and portion control.

POP, my boys fell in love with it last year. Which works out great because currently I'm only working part-time & we had to have a budget friendly resort.

Fran: We love Pop so much. We are staying there for the 3rd time.

If anyone is interested, I have a Pre TR running. It's just in the pre-stages and not to long. I just updated it in fact this evening. Mission Magic.

I'm thinking of going for a nice walk later when it cools down.

My family really enjoys POP as well. One of my favorite things to do there is get a danish, something to drink & head out to the bridge to watch the sun come up. I can't wait to get back there! Hope you have a wonderful trip. BTW, I'm enjoying your pre-trip report thus far.

Hello there, I've spent most of the morning reading through all of your posts. It's so nice to find a place that will build eachother up. I'm glad to have found yall.

Haha, good thing I join on a weigh date...huh? I weighed this morning and will be starting at 208.4. I am happy at the moment because my heaviest is 215. So, I'm down right now.

I am trying to not eat out as much and am doing pretty good with that. If I do eat out, I try to plan my meal before going (by looking on the restaurant's website). I'm doing pretty good with that right now. I now need to get more excercise into my routine. I try to walk each work day for 15 minutes. A co-worker and I walk in the basement. We call it our smoke break. On good days, we'lll do this twice, but most days we only get to do it in the morning. I am also trying to remember to wear my pedometer. I'm working on getting 10k steps a day. Right now, I'm only averaging about 5k a day, so I have some room for growth there. Well, I can't think of anything else to say at the moment. So, I hope yall can help me stay accountable.

Thanks so much!

Angie

Welcome Angie!

I had a small victory today...I didn't eat out at all. I know that doesn't sound like much but with all my free time this summer, I've been eating out a lot and not making good decisions, not to mention wasting the food I buy at the grocery store. So I had a WW Smart Ones breakfast sandwich for breakfast, some morningstar farms chicken nuggets for lunch (I really wasn't super hungry because I was putting together a TV stand all day and for whatever reason didn't have much of an appetite) and for dinner I made some turkey kielbasa, potatoes and leftover brocolli from the other night. And I had a mini york peppermint patty for dessert. Plus a good amount of water. Finally...it wasn't a perfect day but it was a start.

Hi all. I don't know how, but I keep falling off the Dis. I won't get any emails for a month or two, and when I get one, I come back and there are several pages of posts.
We got home Sunday from a cruise to Mexico, and I was up 4 lbs. I'm trying to get back into the swing of things at home. I'm a teacher, too, and started teaching summer school on Monday.
I am also going to WW monthly (or more). I was at goal before I left for the cruise. I need to get it off again before I have to weigh in, so I don't have to pay. I track my food online, and that seems to work the best for me. I also track my exercise on there.
Good to "see" you all.

Down -4 yipeee!! I would love to add a 0 to that! Just keep swimming right?? OK this week went well however I do see places I could have made some better choices. I did howver start my walking and completed 10 miles for the week! Will build up as I get this off the ground. DS started football so I have been watching their core training for some help myself. On Thursday and Friday jogged a bit of the walking so I have some goals with that too!

Its been a bit hectic DS has had at least 2 friends over a night and thankfully I have my house back. I need to write out my shopping list and stick to whats on the list...whats not in the house won't harm me! Also will be planning out my meals too. Did not do that last week was just too crazy and some kids don't eat this or that kinda stuff!

Well off to do some school shopping and football stuff. Not highly motivated today but I'll get in gear!

Welcome Angie!!!!

Thanks so much! And way to go on the -4 lbs. That's excellent. Every little bit counts. Way to go! It's funny, but just hearing about your results makes me wanna get up and go for a walk or something. I know I can do it too!!! Again, way to go! Woo who!!!

 

[dwheatl]

Is this our weigh-in day? If it is, I'm down 1.8 of the 4 I gained on the cruise. Better than that, I got back to the gym today.That's me working my triceps!

Welcome Angie!

I weighed myself yesterday and I stayed the same. Not excersing and trying to eat healthy at work (salads and soups)

Lauren - I have a question for you. What type of iPod do you listen to the podcasts on? I have an iPod shuffle I inherited from my mom after she passed away and I don't know if I can download them on that. I am having enough trouble downloading songs LOL They have a podcast for the C25K that I would love to download to that as well but I don't know again if it's possible. Thanks for your help ((HUG))

Actually I do not listen to the podcast on my ipod. I listen to it on my computer when I clean the house..I usually just take my laptop from room to room with me and pause the show when I have to vacuum. Listening to the show makes cleaning that much more fun! I am actually one of those people who loves to clean and loves to workout! I know crazy!
