Lena
 
thanx kelly.
just for those who don't know where croatia is i'm putting a map lol so you can find me :D
off to get ready for going out tonight :) have a great weekend Lena
 
Congratulations! And good for you going and having a reward like that, I keep thinking I'd like to set something as a reward after I lose a certain amount but I have no job or money so I can't think of anything XD
 
I hear Croatia is beautiful!! Congrats on the weight loss, it feels really good, doesn't it? :D

And that's great that you're getting a manicure as a reward!!
 
thanx change and bethy :) i can't really afford the manicure either, but i told myself...i need something i don't need lol as a reward. something just for myself :) and luxurious, something i would never get just like that. next month it will be massage lol. but the thing is just to reward myself with something other than food. so i'm starting with big things hehe.
 
Yeah, rewarding with food creates way too many problems and gets out of hand so quickly, it's not worth it--I'm still wondering how I'm going to get my mom out of that cycle of 'When Bethany does something good, take her out to Pizza Hut or chinese!'
 
Woo Hoo!
Congrats on the 8 pounds! And good for you for going for a manicure!
As for rewards - this is your best reward:

Isn't that a GREAT feeling :)
 
M2M it sure is :) and honestly i don't think there is food good enough to compare. like bethy said... if you've done something good lets all go out to dinner and celebrate. or you feel sad..take big box of icecream and eat your sorrows away. even though the 8 lbs is rewarding by itself, it is just to teach myself that there are other ways to celebrating :).

@ bethy
i so understand what you're saying. i'm trying to ignore my mom when she gets like that or i tell her to stop because it feels like she wants to sabotage me. but i think she just doesn't know better :) since i was little this was my way of eating. compensating.

i'm starting to feel like its time to catch up with my ghosts. i told myself i'll stop running, but i guess i need to write about it soon... every once and a while just to kill any possibility of that worm (as drug addicts call it) to ever come back. i'll do sometimes this week.

anyway, off to watch some tv and do my elliptical :)

*hugs everybody*

wow! You've been having some success! Good for you! I update my ticker every week!! So when I saw yours hadn't moved in a while I thought you were struggling- glad to see I was very wrong!!

I've actually been to Croatia (as well as being a decendant of Croation immigrants) so it's especially cool for me to have exchanges with you!

I'm going to have to check your diary a little more often, it's very motivating!

Keep up the good work!! :D
 
hehe thanx crocus :) where are yours from?
i decided to have one ticker in pounds also...they move quicker lol
i'll write more tomorrow, since i'm too busy today, and my spare time will be at the beautician's lol

have a great day everyone
 
well i did my nails :) french manicure hehe for the first time in my life. and it feels great, and looks great. i suddenly feel more elegant :)

did pretty good with my eating today.
breakfast: two slices of whole grain bread, with 4 slices of chicken breasts ham, and 2 slices of cheese, and half cup yogurt
snack: yogurt
lunch: black bean soup and then salad with my low cottage cheese dressing
snack: handful of almonds
dinner: i'm having turkey breast filet and veggies stir fried on soya sauce and vegetable stock

i finaly went to my aerobics yesterday. i didn't use dumb bells because of my back but i tried and i guess trainer really wasn't in the mood because it wasn't as hard. or am i getting stronger lol?

i almost gave in yesterday. i have no idea why. i just felt this urge inside me to go and binge. fortunately i was just on my way to have my manicure. i really wanted to kick myself. what is that voice inside thinking???? i guess i need some stronger venting.
anyway, i tried to analyze myself today and realized that i was irritated at work, even though i didn't think it was that bad, but my immediate reaction was to go and eat. but i managed to control myself. i said goodbye to Lena from December. i guess i just need to keep waving at her cause SHE JUST DOESN'T SEEM TO GET IT!!!!!!

uff that felt better :)

HaHaHa...cute!!! I wanted to drop in and say Hi adn thank you for participating in the Exercise Challenege..I will drop in regularly...Good for you for resisting temptation...:D:D:D
 
It sounds like you are REALLY taking control!
Good for you!! :D

I have french manicures every two weeks (I take grandma and my daughter and it's our little indulgence) It feels great, doesn't it?!
 
Congratulations on that 8 pounds, Lena! That's fantastic!!

I've been thinking that I need to find something to do for myself when I hit 20 pounds. And maybe every 20 after. Just haven't decided what yet.

thanx cinderelly for coming :) that challenge is really great, helps me to stay focused when workout is concerned. when i couldn't workout because of my back pain i felt soooo bad... i wanted to do something juts to be able to say i went another mile lol. so thank you for motivation. stop by my corner any time...we'll have tea or something :D


@ change

thank you so much change, you're a great motivator and supporter. just when i read your diary i feel better...so post more hehe

@M2M

thank you for stoping by. i'm definitely having my nails done again. even some mail colleagues commented how sexy my hands look lol :p it really feels great, so i'm recommending it to everyone who can afford it (its a bit expensive, but hey...i don't drink sodas anymore, so i'm saving there lol)

i am starting to feel that i'm taking control, even though i did get over my calories today.

@tx

you should definitely reward yourself. this was very uplifting for me. i didn't feel like a loser but like i'm finaly in control, an indipendent strong woman.
change wrote me once, i think its on page 3 some really great ideas for rewarding yourself so feel free to borrow lol


as for today i went over my calories but hey things happen. the only thing know is that i didn't do it because i was bored or angry or anything like that. bosses ordered pizza for some of us who were working really hard (i didn't know, or i would have said i'd prefer salad) and i had two slices. for breakfast i had one small turkey ham and cheese sandwich with low fat yogurt, and now for dinner i had stirfried leek, one egg fried with two slices of cheese. so not so good.

i'm feeling a bit guilty because of that pizza so i'm goin to sweat it off a bit and add some miles to my exercise challenge :D

hope you're all having a great day! Lena
 
Every one of your points you made, lena, i have the EXACT same problom with. one that I would have to add onto there is

> Lose weight because i feel all of the females over here on vancouver island only care about what you look like and not whats in your heart. I want a girlfriend!! :)
