In about 2 hours it will be midnight and the start of my healthy eating/get more exercise plan. I’m on night shift starting tomorrow night, so it’s easier for me to think of each day from midnight rather than when I wake up. At about 8am I’ll weigh myself - eeeek!! My goals are really just to stick within my points allocation for each day. I don’t expect to get much...
I showed a couple of my co-workers my lunch both yesterday and today, and like me, they are shocked. I just can’t get over how much food I _can_ eat. I really like Calorieking, especially after I found where they hid all the rest of the foods known to man, so I am able to change out what I actually eat for what they say I should eat (there is no way I am eating fat free plain...
Okay, this whole running/walking idea is working better than I thought. Today, I tried running 200 counts, walking 30 and repeating. I ended up running 700 counts and walking 120, and covered about 1.5 miles, which is three times as far as I can run if I just start and go until I have to stop. :) My next goal is to be able to make two loops around the park (2.6 miles) at the 200/30 ratio. Once I...
Thanks to a tidbit I picked up in Runner’s World, I was able to run twice as far today. Basically I ran my usual - a half mile - than walked for 30 counts, then started running again, this time counting. Since I made it 200 counts the second time, I let myself walk for 60 counts, then started running again. That time it was only 100 counts and I was petering out pretty quickly, so that was...
I’m about midweek and doing okay. I’m managing to stay within my points allocations for each day and have had some treats. Getting exercise when I can - mainly walking to and from the bus stop but that’s okay. I do need to drink more water, I’ve been a bit slack on that. But otherwise I’m happy!
My eating is still a mess, sigh! My body is craving for moutains of chocolate (and getting it). So I haven’t lost any more weight. But at least I’m still doing my training as scheduled. Actually, I’ve changed another 0,5% fat into muscles. So, I’m making little progress, but it’s still a progress.
Tonight is check in for me. We shall see how it goes :)
First the bad news - we had pizza at work tonight because all the schools had graduation and everybody was working, and I had four slices. (Two Hawaiian, two Philly cheesesteak) But this morning, I got up at 7:30 and went running in the park. With my 200/30 run/walk ratio, I made it 2.5 MILES! Even better, I covered more ground in the first few sets than I had in the same number of counts...
Welcome Jayne! I’d say “Settle on in” but that would be an antithesis of what we are trying to accomplish :) We may also have two more members soon. This makes me wonder just how many contributers we can have in one of these blogs :) We may end up finding out.
I am starting my diet over! I am bound and determined this time :) As most of you know, my birthday was on Sunday. I want to be healthy again and buying brand new clothes by my next birthday! I was going to try today with working out, but after my bit of insomnia last night there was no way I was getting up early to workout. I still need to create a menu for food. I really like Calorie...
Thank you for the welcome, Leslie and I love the new look. I’ve decided that next Monday is going to be my offical day one. This week has been awfully busy and I’ve been eating out heaps. I’m going to be basing my eating on Weight Watchers since that’s what I’m familiar with, although I won’t officially be attending the meetings. I also aim to exercise more,...
Since Leslie threatened in her last post to come over us if we don’t post, I think I’d better get in gear! ;) Maybe you read my post about this topic at the jix message board. About one month ago I got serious back problems. It hurt so bad that I had to see an orthopaedist. Thankfully, it’s not what I was afraid of (arthrosis), only cramped muscles and a lack of muscles in...

I suck so hard. School got in the way (as it always does). Worked out last Wednesday and spent several hours walking around downtown Dallas on Sunday, but other than that, I’m a big loser. :) I’m sick right now and all my energy is being channeled towards making sure my head doesn’t explode in a shower of snot. But I’ll be back real soon with some real goals for...

I doubt people know this, but I am not big into completely cutting out sweets and snack type foods. I just don’t think this is feasible. I really like what one of my roommates does. She buys the snack foods, but she keeps them in the highest shelf in the house, and not in the typical pantry area. That way: a). they aren’t the first thing she sees when she opens the pantry to get...

Welcome Claire (aurie)! Glad to see you made it!
Well we have heard from some of you :) Hoping to hear back from the rest of you. As for me, I am not doing so great, but I am going to join CalorieKing next week. When I was a member of eDiets (before the changed everything so dramatically), I really lost a lot of weight and I was eating healthier. CalorieKing is so much like what eDiets used to be like, I can’t wait to try it again
