Healthy Weight Loss

dixie · 11-14-2011, 09:13 AM

Whew. Almost an hour and a half between the elliptical and the treadmill. Very sweaty girl here who forgot to bring her gym bag to use the gym showers. Yup, sweaty but feeling like a million bucks!

I have not posted for a while. I have been slacking off lately. I have not fallen off the wagon, no sweets, but I have not been counting calories or fat grams, either.

I am fully motivated today to stop screwing around and get with it again.

Oatmeal, coffee for breakfast; skinless chicken breast, salad ready for lunch.

Visiting my daughter and grandkids over Thanksgiving. They do not eat like I do, so that will be a challenge. Planning on buying/making some meals my way, i.e. no chicken fingers for me! Her kids love those things. At least they are in sports and healthy outdoor activities.

Have a great day everyone!

I lost 5 lbs last week... trying for more this week. I am going to keep tracking and running/lifting weights. I am doing C210k right now, and its going OK. I am doing 5 minute intervals today, 5x, and walking 1 minute in between. It seems easy, and I want to just go for a 25 minute run, but I am going to work the program so I don't get ahead of myself.

Have a good week all! We can do this!!

My motto that helps me stay focused is, "The only thing you gain from giving up, is weight". Ain't that the truth!

I decided to just run, and I ran 2.5 miles. I feeling good! :-D I wish I could have gone longer, but I did not stretch good enough and my hip was starting to cramp. As soon as that happened, I lost my focus.. grrr!

Looks like u all have been doing great in the weight loss program in one way or the other..wtg folks.Lately I have been on the program more than off,off by just a little but still within my food plan.Im not shure if its a holliday thing or what but now and then im sneaking a small peice of leftover halloween candy now and then...kit kats and twix is ony 11 carbs each so thay fit in well but I really shouldnt eat any...but now and a gain I got to have one.I havent gained but havent lost any either so im ok with it,but need to start back on loseing more of the chub.I have to admit I also am just getting back to working out more regularly since my oldest fur kid went over.Somehow I strained my back and its working its way down the back of my left leg,once I get moveing its better.

Way to go everyone. I am inspired by the stories and the commitments to change.

I reached my Nov 18 goal a week ahead of schedule. I am absolutely delighted. I have not measured my body this month, but it isn't for lack of wanting to, just lack of doing!!

I will do this today...by golly.

I made all of my exercise classes last week. And threw in an extra one cause I had an evening without a patient. It was all like free time, and I was soooo glad I did.

I am going through more of my clothes. I wondered if I was going through an exchange of addictions; I wanted carbs the other day, and not good ones, I found myself in line at a clothing store buying the mmmmoooosssstttt wonderful sheets. LIKE OMG microfleece, so soft I swear I am climbing into heaven...but in line I thought what if I am exchanging addictions. I don't think so, but I am trying to be conscious. Trying so very hard to be conscious.

I don't eat dairy, but I had a weak moment this weekend. Three days later I still have the symptoms. Damn whipped cream. I baked cheesecake and did not eat any. But then my finger slipped into a bowl of delicious whipped cream, a couple of times. Silly little fox.

Another week another challenge. More exercise classes. More tracking. More weigh ins. And yes I will measure myself.

Wooohooo CONGRATULATIONS! You are doing AMAZING and we are all so very proud of you! Keep up the great work my friend... and enjoy those new microfleece sheets

sylvie · 11-15-2011, 12:22 PM

finally, i am back on track..63 lbs lost now!!!

It's been a slow losing process & so much more to go, but still wow'ing at 63 lbs lost, because through life i have always worked at losing weight - & finally at 38 years old, i am working so hard on myself each day, and the results are just happening .. i'm beyond thrilled and now setting a goal of another 10 lbs to lose ..

i haven't tried the slow cooker Salsa Chicken recipe yet, i worked three 12 hour shifts in a row and then today i am split shift but had a funeral to go to in between shifts.. but the next 2 days i am only 3 hour shifts, (yay) and then off on Friday, so i'll definitely be working on that.. Also going to make my own fresh salsa too to cut back on sodium in the recipe.. YUM!

foxy & everyone - so proud of you all ..
Reading through the posts, it just makes me smile the support & love from each other to one another - & i get sooo soooo much more motivated each time i come in here, because of you all.. whether it's for weight loss or for feeling fabulous, or the two combined (like myself) - we all friggin' rock, eh!

((((group hugggs))))

Why thank you Miss PinkieLee. And I do love my microfleece sheets. So much so, I bought a second set. They are very hot, but the deep freeze is coming and this Fox is gonna be all warm and snuggly in her little den.
