I can’t believe that I am commenting here today. I really don’t want to, but I need some major accountability. Would someone mind checking on me this week? I have been super bad and I need to check with someone. I am starting phase 1 again today. Yes! AGAIN! I lost 30 lbs before Christmas on south beach and I am up 10 from my lowest. Today…170/190/150. I am super embarrassed cause I have come on here and confessed so many times and failed. I am such an all or nothing girl. I lost it all before cause I never ever cheated, but once I did, I never stopped. So there ya go. I hate how my body feels on phase one so I have to remind myself that its only a 2 week period and I will survive a few headaches and low energy. Come on now…I have been pregnant 3 times…what’s 2 weeks?
Up 0.6, but I think it’s mostly water. Only 8 HH points this week because I’ve aggravated my hip. It’s not really that bad but I know if I don’t take care of it not, it will get bad. So I’m limiting myself to pilates, stretching, and 1 30-min light cardio workout this week along with hopefully remembering to put ice on it daily.
Oh! And I did my challenge (I did a yoga video!) but I forgot to write about it. Whoops.
Wow! Wonderful job ladies! Even to you Nikki!! It takes a lot to start over and get a boost so you can pick up where you left off. In my experience it’s harder to do phase 1 again, but you’ll make it. Think how fast the weight came off the last time you boosted with phase 1, right after Christmas. Just remember to eat ENOUGH.
Now for me… 207/185/160
Today is my lowest weight in probably 2 years! Hurray! Down 1 from my last check in. I’ve had to remind myself to eat regularly and take time for breakfast again, or my progress will all be for nothing.
I forgot to weigh this morning. Not sure what that says about me. Either I don’t care about the weight anymore which is probably a good thing. Now I am at goal I have to not obsess too much about weighing all the time but trust I am sticking to the good habits. Or it is because my brain is too full of stuff to remember I am supposed to weigh on Mondays. this is also true. Work and voluntary stuff just seem to mean no let up at the moment. Anyway HH points - only 8. O dear. I meant to try pilates for my challenge but only got as far as printing some exercises not doing them. i just ran out of time. I did find out I need to drink 3 1/2 pints water a day and am trying to do so. I think generally I drink more than I used to and probably enough but its good to check up on it occasionaly.
Tami, are you out there? It seems to me you haven’t been around much. Everything ok? I thought about posting asking, but didn’t want to embarrass you. I was just thinking of how we seem to struggle with a lot of the same stuff. I hope you are well.
216/179/140ish Uggghhh! Saturday I was fine, a small loss. Now today I had gained 5 pounds! I know why, I can certainly feel all the symptoms, but it doesn’t make me feel better. I was even good at the SB party last night.
8 HH points, but I did over 100 tax returns this week - some heavy typing and a little perspiration involved. {c;
Oh Missy, try not to worry about the 5lbs. You know it’s just water and hormones and 100 tax returns…probably some stress too. Next week you’ll be back on track. Actually, probably in a couple of days.
I can’t get over the 100 tax returns…wow! I dread doing 1 every year…ha!
Last week was long and stressful and I definitely fell of the wagon and ate WAY too much. Hopefully this week will be better . . .
Tomorrow I go back to Phase 1. Christina, I read your message last week but sorry I didn’t respond! Yes, I am giving up ALL carbs during Lent. And Diet Coke. I over-indulge with both, so it will be a big sacrifice. If you’re still interested in joining me, I’d love it! Just let me know.
Nikki, I’m here. Thanks for checking in on me. I’ve left the OWOA team. You see, I have an addiction (besides food!) and it’s the computer. It was time for me to stop blogging and step away from the computer. I still visit and read up on y’all though. I’ll check in every once in a while. If you want to email me though I do do those! tlb81003 (at) normalonline (dot)com
I weighed in this morning (I forgot yesterday) and I’m down one at 166.2. Debbie-Boo all of Lent without carbs does seem a long time. Be careful. Maybe you need to review.
Thanks, Elly! I forgot to mention I am eating fruit. So it’s the bread carbs I’m cutting out. Of course, I’ll keep praying through specifics and will slowly add carbs back if I feel I need to. But experience has taught me that as long as this is God-led I will be ok!
176/176/150 12 hh points To busy to get on the pc yesterday and last week went past at warp speed I didn’t even remember to check in. I soooooo sorry!!!! I was down to 173 now back up to 176!! I’m in the same boat with you other girls that have had a hard time the past week (more like 4-5wks. for me). I am going back on phase one with ya’ll. I’ve got to get a grip on myself. I’ve been so busy I either don’t eat or I eat things I shouldn’t. Sometimes I’m really busy and don’t eat all day then I’m stinkin starven like a mad women and just eat what ever. I don’t keep alot of really bad things in the house but even really good whole wheat, high fiber bread is not good if you eat 3 slices at one time!! So here we go phase one!!!! I love you all and you are in my prayers even though I have so busy and haven’t stopped to tell you!!!
