Argh...still here at work for another hour...feeling funky and want to get out of here..I've drank sooo much water...and coffee...and tea and now I feel like I am going to float home. Keeping the fluids up, ya know? I just am HUNGRY like mad. I brought some cut up fruit to work and some baked torilla chips to munch on...and they have been gone for hours!

just frustration...lol

I bought a very small bottle of it the last time i was in Australia - i will eat pretty much anything... but this stuff was so salty... and just strange tasting - i suppose it's one of those things you have to grow up with - What I was told there, was if you put a very thin coating on buttered bread .. .it's good... (this is the same country that also eats giant slugs (not snails, these were slugs... and kangaroo :) Lovely people, lovely country - strange foods.. :D

Marmite is made from the yeast extract a by-product of the brewing industry. Vegemite is a vegetable extract... both have the same texture and color.. and saltiness.... :)

Thats the stuff...but not many people, well none that I know eat the slugs and skippy :D , yet I'm sure it's out there.

Congrads to all ......it's great to see we a doing so well.

Well I might go and see if I can find a dingo for lunch..(only joking). Their probably too fatterning.:D

Good morning everyone!

Avi, love the stats for the cleaning! Makes me feel even more motivated to clean out the guinea-pigs. Well, that and they stink! And the quicker it's out the better :)

Heehee, thanks summerbreeze! I'm a pretty hot dancer as well *does the jive*

Fought my compulsion!

I almost weighed myself out of sheer habit today. I was so excited... I just know I've hit the 126 mark which would be my absolute lowest since being pg with my first child and having the lbs pile on. :) But I fought the urge and thought of how it would be even greater when I got on the scale Friday and it said 123 or something. How awesome would that be?? :)

Summer- I've found going out doesn't hinder my diet much if I order a salad.... and nowdays restaurants have the YUMMIEST salads... and then share a dessert with two or three other people. That way I can still feel good about my choices and also feel like I was wasn't cheated out of the "dining out" expereince (I don't eat out often, so I savor it!!). Just my .02 :D

Cool about the housework! I did almost 2 hrs last night. I also made a double chocolate cake for my husband and kids that I didn't eat. Ok, but I only picked a few crumbs the top to just taste it. :D
 
I had cake today.. my birfday cake.. But I also went for a 40 min walk.. and am gonna do crunches tonight also. lol

Just think of everything in this equasion...

bad food + exercise = nutralised.

Don't get depressed.. get 'even'.
 
Well put, Avi2kat. I am having a meal out today, and probably some party food and cake tomorrow, but yesterday, today and tomorrow I am determined to do 14 miles each day. It is the only way I can justify indulging, and also it keeps your metabolism up so the bad foods just ... poofph ... disappear (well, maybe not quite as easily as that :D )
 
Thanks for the encouragement guys. :D I can't believe I've already lost like 22 lbs, and everyone in my family seems to see it. But honestly I don't really see much yet, I think maybe it's some kind of psychological thing. My mom had the same problem when she was losing weight(she had lost about 70 pounds).
 
It is very easy to get a warped self image, especially when you are hoping so much for a change in your appearance. It is so easy to be down on yourself and think that you have not made any difference. It is always best to go by what others say because they are more subjective and can actually see the changes you have made. 22 lbs is fab, keep up the good work!
 
I like the way you've put that Avi! I may print that equation and mantra and stick it on my wall!

Hope the equation works, I feel like I overdid it slightly after the walk today... Either way, I'm free all day tomorrow, so I'm aiming for a big long swim.

And Crissy B, 22 pounds is great! And like Mrs B said, it's very easy to end up with a blotched self image. You know the weight's coming off, so let that keep you on the right track. Keep it up dude, you're doing brill!

Same to everyone else. We're doing great so far, and hopefully the scales will be kind when friday comes around again.

*hugs* And happy birthday again Mrs B!

I was bad...bad bad bad. Stress...party...not good. I just grazed all day yesterday at the party. I didn't drink..only water...but, I liked those finger sandwiches. I guess it could have been worse. I had veggies too..and..no cake. I feel like a swollen mess today. My family wanted Arbys last night for dinner (after the party) but, we went..and I didn't get any...I didn't want fried ick after that party. I had a bowl of cereal. I guess there were some positives to my negative day.

At least the party and the party prep is over now!

I have a doctor's appt tomorrow. Maybe I'll ask him to 'help' me lose this weight...I wonder what is out there in the medical world right now for really resistant weight? I normally work my butt off..but, it stays, hahaha! and, I NORMALLY eat really well..lol!

Sorry for my rant!

That doesn't sound like too bad a day at all. You had the odd thing you maybe shouldn't have, but you also made a lot of great choices. I think when you are used to healthy foods then you have something not so healthy, it does affect your body and your mood ... I think that is why we get down on ourselves when we have a little slip up. I couldn't concentrate at all yesterday!! Once that feeling wears off you will be able to see that in the grand scheme of things, that one day will not make any difference, you work so hard the rest of the time.

Keep up the good work ;)
 
*big hugs* Sarah.

Although it seems like things weren't so great, you've actually done really well. Like you said, you got in some veggie matter, and the cake was left untouched. And you were strong enough to say no to something from Arbys, which is also really great.

I think you've done well to stay as strong as you were. A party's a real test of strength.

Sarah.. you did not bad, small steps girl. You sacrificed some stuff, and let yourself have other stuff... everything adds up. The fact you didn't have cake or arbys are big ++ points for you :)
 
You guys are my inspiration...my friends...! I thank you for your positive words. What I have done today is DRINK A TON OF WATER! I feel so swollen..but, trying to flush the system out. Yeah, I think maybe I felt like I did worse than I did..but, I just want to get back on track today...one day won't kill me...I don't like it and don't want to make it a habit...but, it won't totally throw me off...

I am glad I didn't touch the alcohol either...oh man did we have a ton...a BUNCH of the hard stuff...at least 60 beers...wine coolers etc. And, I stuck to WATER!

Talk to you soon!
Sarah
 
rofl.. Ah. alcohol... not my weakness.. but certainly fun. I jsut drink glasses of diet coke and have a few shots of tequila.. better than any mixed drink... and much lower in calories.

You did well girl! I wouldn't have done 1/2 as well.. I woulda made sure there were diet coolers there for my pleasure.. hehehe.

Lately I have found what drives me to exercise is the ominous thought of the scale reading higher than it did the week before. I am so desperate for it to go down.. I git my butt in gear. lol
