Project C

Alrighty then......OK, you are having a bad time of it. You have a lot on your mind and it is hard to focus. Look at your ticker! You have lost 47lbs. Do you know what a lot of us would give to say we lost 47lbs? You can do this. Do what you need to do to get back into the mindset that got you this far. You didn't get this far giving up. You are a strong woman and you can do it!

OK? Now don't make me come over there.
 
Hey C sorry to hear you've had a rubbishy month :(, maybe if it would make you feel better just take the dieting less seriously for a bit. I've had to do that and I feel a lot better for it now, hopefully you'll be able to do the same and get back on track quickly.:)
 
Hey IC~
Girlfriend, you are so not alone. I could kick myself for lack of motivation. I want more than anything to be lean and healthy, but then I find myself wanting those not so lean foods even more! Aargh.

I'm barely hanging on here, but still trying to take one day at a time. Another month is coming up, let's try to light some kind of fire under our feet. I want to bring sexy back to my halloween costume this year. haha Hope you had a good weekend.
 
Hey C
**Hugs**

I know how tough things have been, but as mentioned above, look at your ticker hun, you have lost *47* pounds and will soon cross that 50 mark! Yes, with me breathing down your neck ;) You CAN keep doing this - maybe reevaluate your weekly goals, not put so much pressure on yourself, but continue nonetheless with smaller steps.

Hugs,
 
Good Morning!!!!! Hope you are feeling a tad bit better. i agree with everyone else here. you can't just quit. Even with one week left, girl give it your all and prove something to yourself.. You have the heart to do it. Keep your head up and your legs moving:D

Have a GREAT day and drink that WATER:D
 
Sorry about the job. 5 years ago I had an experience like that. Turned out the best thing in the world for me. The next school district that called me paid me $14,000 more per year and it's now almost $20,000 more per year and that district went on strike and they fire all teachers after 3 years to save money. I am so lucky I didn't get that job. As for binging 2250 isn't bad. You're going to do this thing and if you just cost yourself a day getting to your goal, what's one more day. Find that motivation--you're 3 pounds from 50. Wow!!
 
Thanks everyone. :)

But honestly, I'm just gonna pull the plug on the challenge. I weighed myself today and I gained back 3 pounds. I'm not sure if it's actual fat or just general bloating due to alot of salt. I dunno. I'm so unmotivated right now. But don't worry. i'm not giving up entirely. I'm still trying to eat healthy... erm. Healthier. But I'm not full-raging like during the summer challenge. I've pulled the plug for now. I'm gonna try to figure out a way to get motivated again. And maybe by September, things will look up.
 
Don't you hate it when you run out of gas during a challenge? I find that I feel even more miserable when I fail challenges. My first one, I was so pumped and it really motivated me, then the few after that just depressed me.

I can't do challenges for a while. Perhaps after a break from it, you'll get some of your mojo back. hehe

Have a great day!
 
Hi C :)

I've been thinking of you and wondering how you are and now I know and boy do I know.

So much stress for you lately my poor Hi C!!! It would take a super-human being not to feel sad or want to go off your diet plan. HUG

Thank goodness your tests came back basically good and there are no serious threats to your health, which is the most important thing of ALL!

I'm very sorry that you are disappointed with the job that you said that you wanted but you also said that it was in a dangerous area and so unless you have some sort of self-defense tool on your person and are prepared to use it, I myself have to tell you that I'm relieved that you won't be putting yourself into that kind of scary scene. Please don't give up trying to get a job in the field of your choice though. SOMETHING will come up eventually so try to think positively.

I can imagine how you feel regarding your boyfriend. Years ago I was in a situation very much like yours. What we did was we wrote each other a lot of letters and you know something? letter writing really allows you to get into your thoughts and feelings in a whole other detailed way. :) The anticipation of waiting for that letter to arrive is what brings you closer to that person (I think so anyway). I really feel for you, my dear Hi C and I hope that you can at least see one another once in a while and during those times it will be so extra special - since there's the old saying, "Absence makes the heart grow fonder." ;)

Take heart in knowing that your binging isn't TOO bad...I can tell that you're doing it with the thought of still wanting to lose your weight.

Things will get better!!!!!! Life is that way. Meanwhile, Take comfort in the people here who care. Isn't this blogging thing fantastic? I'll try to get here more often but on the days that I don't, just know that I care too and am hoping for the best for you as the days go along. :)
 
Hey there C,
Knowing when you need to step back, is as important as knowing when to take a step forward.

Yes, your 3 pound gain back is probably sodium related - good grief remember when I gained *9* pounds because of my sodium induced 4 day stupor? ;)

Drink some extra water, and try and get into a regular sleeping pattern, it will help.

Hugs,
 
Thanks everyone!

Well, September is here. And I'm trying to get into the swing of things... It's hard mind you after 3 weeks of bingeing! And I'm totally not in the mood yet cause I still feel depressed about my bf being away. Ah well. :(

Hopefully, I can get into the full siwing of things by the end of the weekend.

I promise I'll try to catch up with the journals later this weekend. And write more in here too! Toodles.
 
keep your chin up, we are here for you, no one and i mean on one is perfect and when your ready you'll jump back on the wagon, we're be here for you no matter what or where you are in your life!!!:p take care of yourself, and love yourself.
 
Thanks Reach! :) I appreciate the support. September is here. And I'm psyched. :) Tomorrow will be the Day One. No more snacking! No more cheating! No more sugary treats!!
 
I'm Cheering for you!!!!!! You can do this. Stember is your Month:D
HAve a Great Day and don't forget to start off your day with a BIG glass of WATER:D
 
Welp, I've been away but I'm slowly getting into the swing of things. I walked 4km on Monday, 1.5km on Tuesday and another 4km today. It's been fairly nice weather so I don't mind right now. All this walking is making my feet sore and tender though. It's all pink and I can see blisters forming soon. Ah well. :(

I've been trying to keep my eating to a minimal but it's been hard. After bingeing for 3-4 weeks, I'm glad I didn't gain back any pounds. But keeping my to my low cal/low fat regime is hard. For example I had Timbits today and fries yesterday. Thankfully though, It was still under 1700 calories for the day.

I borrowed Tae Bo Basics from the library as well as a video on Tai Chi. I plan to check those out soon. Probably tomorrow or Friday. I also ordered a few other videos from the library. I'm on a waiting list for Carmen Electra's Strip Tease Aeorobics. We'll see how the videos thing go... I'm on a quest to find a good video workout!
 
Hey C!!
Good for you for climbing back on the wagon! Every day is a new day to start fresh.

You can do this! It sounds like your calories are spot on! You don't have to deprive yourself to lose weight - and eating or binging won't make your bf be there - remember, food is about feeding the body...not the soul.

You have come so far, I know for me, the thought of having a lot more to go can be so overwhelming - but the 47 pounds behind you is BEHIND you, the fact that you got rid of those 47 pounds means you can get rid of the next set as well.

It's one day at a time girl,
hugs to you!
 
wishing you the best! As for your feet getting blistered, I'm thinking you might need some new shoes... or better ones.

Not an expert on the vids so I can't recommend anything to you, although fit to strip sounds interesting lol
