Feeling much better today, so I am up for some chatting!!
I haven't seen my mom since about Christmas. I was so excited that she can see a difference in how I look. I was so excited. Coming from my mom is the best thing. She can be critical of our weight at times. I don't think she tries to be but it comes off that way.
That is wonderful!! It is always great when others notice a difference and I can totally see why it is important if your mom is the one who notices!
Checking in at 25%. I'm the same in the weight dept but have bumped up to 4 miles for 2 of my runs this past week so I consider that progress. As for the weight, I got glass seats to a hockey game for my husband's birthday which included all you can eat and I definitely got my fill of the nacho bar.
You are doing great with the running! Also have meant to comment on your avatar for quite some time when I first noticed the Danish flags. Is that a picture from Nyhavn in Copenhagen??
I'm always looking for tips and tricks to stay good over the weekend without feeling restricted!
My best advice, and I learned that from
@pjlla, is: meal planning. I always was very much against it because I thought it would restrict me. However, I have learned that it frees me up to plan treats, because I have also planned on how to incorporate them without doing damage. I am still not as good at keeping it up as I want to be, but it really keeps me on track so much better. I find that it actually really frees me up as I don't have to constantly think, can I eat this or should I eat that. Instead, I know what the plan is and what I have to play with. For example last weekend I knew I wanted to go out for sushi, so I planned that for one meal and put everything else around it.
Weighed in again this morning and I'm down another bit, putting me at 54% of my goal so far! I need to stay on top of my water intake during the day - I get so caught up working that I forget to drink anything. Not getting enough water really stalls the losing, I've noticed. I'm on a 9 day tracking streak so woohoo for that!
Well done! I am so happy to hear you sound so much more positive again!
We went to the chocolate emporium that opened recently. I mean I should not have even gone, but...... Anyway, we only had an appetizer and dessert, but the scale said Nope this morning! LOL
I guess this was the Toothsome Chocolate Emporium? What is your verdict? We are thinking of going there on our next visit.
I'm going to start Shakeology tomorrow and see how that makes me feel. I am feeling as though I'm lacking some nutrients, so I figured that having one of these each day on my drive to work will help me feel better about myself.
I have no idea how to make one of the shakes, so this week will be all about trial and error. So... why not do it now!
Good luck! I hope it helps you with what you want to acchieve!
Well similar to
@sweetpeama finances will stop us from getting there any time soon - it costs us between $4500-$5000 just for flights for the 4 of us to get to LA! But we are hoping, planning to come back and the biggest new thing we are looking forward to is Star Wars Land - I hope its worth it - DS16 thinks he will just spend his whole time there lol!
Have you considered Tokyo
Disneyland? I have seen that there are quite a few Australian DISers who seem to visit quite a bit. I am totally excited about our visit there later this year, it looks like an amazing Disney park! It should be cheaper to fly to Japan than to the US from Australia?
For Feb 6 got in a 15 minute lap completing 24 infamous house laps.
Yes!!! You made it to the 15 minutes! Remember how at the beginning of January you said how others were saying that you need to do at least 15 minutes but that this did not work for you yet. You have proven them wrong, you did what you thought was right for you and now you are at the magic 15 minutes!
Sorry that your body is acting up at the moment, hope you feel better soon!
