Healthier Living Thread Part V

Thanks Zoe!

The bra hook victory is what the WW clique calls a non scale victory!!!! Congrats!! My turn is coming soon...

that's cool, never heard that term before!

Well thank God for that non scale (IMHO a "small" scale) victory - or I would be really ticked. I've been frozen at the 11 lb wt loss for about 3 weeks. I know I need to step things up but meanwhile, I am depriving myself of some really good stuff right now, considering the season! And if I indulge "just a little" =- off I will be again, regaining the wt and totally unable (unwilling?) to try again. So ... (drumming fingers ...) LOL

I did great again yesterday. At work, there have been christmas parties daily. I dodged cheesecake from one end, and cookies and cakes from the other. I know I can indulge if I want, but I feel to vulnerable at this point. Maybe in a few weeks. Plus, Im going to my mom's for christmas and I think I'll splurge then. We'll see.

Counting points is getting easier by the day. I have dropped about 3 lbs, probably water weight. I will keep it up for now, one day at a time.....

Strong work!!! You did better than me! I was on orientation (new job) on night shift night before last. The hospitalist group sent a HUGE platter of yummy cookies to each shift. I held out until 2 a.m., then someone made a fresh pot of coffee. The smell of the fresh brew combined with those cookies screaming at me when I was getting tired and was due for my break.... well, the cookies won. I only had 2, and they were not supersized, so it could have been a lot worse. But - then came a trip to Perkins for breakfast this morning with DH. He had been traveling for work all week, and we are both off the next 4 days, so I felt entitled to something 'good'. Splurge city - giant breakfast of turkey/bacon/eggs benedict, country potatoes. My only restraint was to have the fruit instead of the baked goods. Full cream in the coffee too instead of something more low cal. Ugh. Have been snoozy since we got home. Need to be good the rest of the week until I weigh in - might put that off 'til next Sat. to give myself a couple extra days!!!

The good news is I am down another pound (prior to breakfast...), official WW loss - a total of 5.8 lbs so far. :w00t:

Zoe - congrats on the resizing of your bra!! I always figure that means I am losing 'back fat', a harder place to lose!

Think I'll put something in the crockpot for dinner....

Later!

Hey guys, I already announced this elsewhere but what the hey, here it is again - I am in a pair of jeans from 2 years ago!! And they are not tight!

Eh I kind of blew it today, not so much in volume but in some of the stuff I ate. Water and veggies it is

Count me back in, too. I restart again tomorrow! I gained 2 lbs over the holidays, but I can live with that- at least I didn't gain it all back. Back to my goal of 2 lbs wt loss q week.

Congrats to everybody who met their goals these last several weeks!

I'm back on the wagon too! Hit the treadmill, then did a nice relaxing 20 min yoga tape afterwards. Felt good to sweat a little! Ate well today too. Scale was nice to me and said I didn"t gain any, but it has been known to be a little less than accurate at times. I plan on being a very good girl between now and WW weigh in on Sat. a.m.

Working (orienating at new job) tomorrow and Friday, hope they have not stocked up on too much junk, lol! Maybe they will have scavenged it all already...;

Oo, I was bad again today, (meaning, sugar and flour) - fortunately the homebaked goodies I ate today were only so-so...

Anyway - I already feel the physical effects - logey, anxious ... BLEAH...
