Healthier Living Thread Part V

Sounds like a good plan sddlnscp. It's always good to hear from you.

My car broke down on the way to the gym last night, and now I'm stranded. But I'm going to walk the dogs for some fresh air.

I had a milestone moment. HR brought us pizza, brownies and a family brough us donuts yesterday and I didn't have one bit of any of it. I stuck to my veggies and beans and brown rice lunch. It's rare that I don't at least have a bite, which then leads to a sllice and then a binge. LOL

Hello everyone,

Weight went back up with the end of the Holidays. I fell off the healthy wagon. Perhaps it would be best said that I jumped off the healthy eating wagon screaming in delight at all the chocolate, chocolate, chocolate.

And now, well, my thighs look like motorcross track for fleas and ants due to all the bulging cellulite, which now has decided to stick around. Sooooo, frustrating.

Sooooo, we adopted a puppy. A puppy which requires being walked and played with for 1 to 1.5 hours per day. My children are now outside more often. We are walking everyday, even the hubby. And child number 2 has not seemed to gain any weight. Thank goodness.

Gotta go, Happy New Year to you all.

Gentle

Thanks Tweety! Sorry to hear about your car troubles, that is never any fun.

Well, I have been off & on the stairstepper, but on a good enough amount of times that I am happy with it. I have been buying no junk food and cooking healthy, so that translates to my family eating healthy, which is making me very happy! :)

I am back on my goal here - I want to be where I was before my life all fell apart last spring, I felt good, I looked decent enough, now I feel all blah again, so that's enough of that. I am in a new place, with a new job, and a new life, time to take back control! I'm ready! :)

Hugs to all . . . off to drink some water & hit the stepper! :)

Zoeboboey here - just playing with a new name. Don't know why I picked it but oh well!

Pray for me to get motivated again- I am such a slug!

Hi Gentle. I think we all need to get back on the bandwagon after the holidays. We can only try.

sddl, now you have me singing the old 90's song "Here Comes the Hotstepper"........UGH!

Hi Zoe! Can we still call you Zoe!

I don't remember THAT song

hey you can call me anything as long as it's not late ... er... um... (looks around) ... for the gym!

Hi Cherish! Sounds like you have a good plan and some motivation. Keep in touch!

Someone actually said to me Friday "you look like you've lost weight". After I got up from the floor from bowing down and thanking him, I felt good. I have probably lost just a pound or two. I haven't really got a good jumpstart on the weight, but I did work out yesterday and am trying to stay faithful to going to the gym 3 to 4 times a week. Last week it was only 3 because of church stuff.

Guess I haven't missed anything in this thread. LOL

Not a lot going on with me. I managed to go to the gym four times last week and am eating relatively healthy, turning down junk food when it's offered at work. Eating lots of fruits. :)

I didn't realize you had posted! I almost feel like that is the kiss of death, give me a compliment and I cave...

OMG!!! I have lost 12lbs in 3.5 weeks!!! :yeah: I'm excited, though I wish it could have been a lot more. I am eating five 300-calorie meals, and going to the gym 4 times a week for 1-2 hours. Hopefully, I'll update soon with even MORE good news.

Tweety, BSN, RN · Feb 4, 2009

Congratulations Mave!!! That's awesome.

Of course, I too could lose weight if I went to the gym 4 times a day for 1-2 hours. :)

Whoops! I meant I go 4 times a week! LOL! There's no possible way I can go 4 times a day. I would get bored and give up. :S Thanks for the congrats. :)
