The (im)possible mission of an Italian cook's daughter

whoohoo congrats on 2 kilos down :) its probabily just water. but if you still have concerns talk to your doctor. how was carnevale? i bet it was really beautiful. hope you had as much fun as i did :D
 
Howdy Wanted to stop by and say hi and hope you have a nice day,
congrats on your weightloss so far your almost there,Tammy:)
 
Hi everybody!

Lena, il carnevale was wonderful! I had a lot of fun! I helped preparin a "carro" (a kind of big moving thing decorated and with people on it see this link to get an idea ) and we won 3rd prize :D

breakfast: skim milk and cereals
lunch: whole grain bread and hamburger
snack: 1 kiwi
dinner: whole grains bread and "polpettone" a kind of meat

not a very good day: too much meat but no vegetables...
 
Congrats on the loss Venice girl. Just remember that tomorrow is a new day and will be a lot better.
 
hehe we have those too :) i'll try and find time to post some photos this afternoon :)

anyway, you just gave me an idea for lunch -polpettone...i was wondering what to have with my beans today and what i haven't had in long time.

a big hug to you :) Lena
 
Today I walked to the post office. It's not that far but I'm usually too lazy to walk and prefer to drive. So it's a success over my own laziness :D

breakfast: toasted bread and green tea (no sugar)
lunch: whole grains bread + 200 grams cottage cheese + salad
snack 3pm: strawberries
snack 6pm: 1 kiwi
dinner: whole grains bread + boiled meat + tomatoes
exercise: 20 minutes walk + 30 minutes bike
 
That's great - small changes can make a world of difference escpeially when overcoming laziness. Looks like you had a good day! :D:D
 
I've got one of those moments when I think that even if I'm doing everything it takes to lose weight I'm not going to make it. I feel like when august comes, no matter how much I exercised or how little I ate, I will not be thinner...I know it's not true but I'm in such a depressed mood right now...I don't know why...
 
Howdy Girly I feel like that alot to maybe you need to have a relax day
I like to grab a good book or gossip magazine and soak in a hot aroma filled
bathtub for a while.It's a fact though with exersice and eating healthy you will get to your goal weight.Hope your day gets better Tammy:)

I know how you feel, but you have already lost over 10 lbs right? you are doing great!! These moments like these will pass, and when august comes around and you are partying up for your birthday(i think it's your birthday you are shooting for), you WILL feel great in whatever you decide to do/wear!
 
I am hoping you are having a great day. And also:eek: to say I am sorry for not having been in here in a while. I was sick and when I got better there was so much to do(and still is:mad: ) that i haven't had time!:eek:
 
Mediterranean diet?

Hi Venice Girl; I noticed your post about the Mediterranean diet on RDubb07's thread. I noticed you wrote it's not low carb. I tried it on eDiets.com, but the recipes seemed too work intensive. But eDiets can sometimes get a little fancy on their recipes. Do you mind telling me about it?
Thanks Venice.

P.S. you are doing great, don't get down...I know, I get impatient towards the end and fixate on the weight instead of on the lifestyle. You are beautiful.
 
Hey Venice, I think its tough for you because you are so close to the finish line compared to me, but what I found works best for me is to concentrate on the process rather than the results. If you make the lifestyle changes your focus then the weight will take care of itself. Be patient and by August you will be amazed at how far you have come.
 
Thank you Cannon! Yesterday I just had a bad moment...the fact is that I've tried to lose weight so many times and I've always failed, and now I'm scared I will fail once again. It just seems impossible that I will be thinner, I can't even visualize it. I guess I'm just scared of changing. It happens sometimes.

2Skinny I'll pm you the diet.

Have a great day everybody!
 
i am also scared sometimes of the change and then i realize that i am already changing and it's for the better. we really need to get out of these walls and shells we created to keep us safe. i guess we don't see ourselves worthy of being beautiful and sexy. i sometimes have this feeling like i'm going to be completely exposed if i lose weight. but i realized why i have this feeling and i'm trying to work on it.
you will definitely lose weight. you're doing great. don't you doubt that. don't make me come over hehehe
