Well I don't 'diet' but I can relate to pushing past my acceptable limit on Xmas day - even though I did a double walk that day, too. I doubt it was much in the way of collateral damage. I'm sure I was in the 7000+ cal range, including a handful of cookies and other sinful options. It is what it is. I'm not bothered about it much.
I have a specific agenda for '08. Consider this the calm before the storm
112 degrees !! ffs.
Well one crap day wouldn't have bothered me either, but my lack of posting here is directly related to the fact that I had a bunch of really terrible binges.
It was doubly good for me (in my more lucid moments), so see that there was still some positivity (like yours), happening in my vicinity here.
aqua jogging! running/jogging whilst in the pool! great way to burn up a bit.
Yeah its pretty hot over here too, not as hot as over there though.
Jeez T2, you really did kill it with 7000 - how did ya do that? I thought i was bad for hitting the 3000-4000ish (hey i had 3 helpings of pudding! i was great for the rest of the day!)
Yep! There's almost always a way to keep going with a decent program. I've let myself be constantly balked these last few days, yet there was no physical need for that.
As for the multithousands of calories, well I doubt Randy beat me ...
7 beers (at least) and too many handful of almonds and cashews. Let's at least feel good about passing on the 6 Pizza Hut pizzas that were delivered and I had zero slices of.
My Mom's cooking is so strong, I don't get the pizza thing at all - a sign of the pitiful times, I guess.
Beer over pizza is an easy choice for me
I had seconds on the spaghetti and meatballs just so you know
It was the trifle that started my slide, and then chocolates and icecreams. I do have an intention of calculating a couple of binge days worth of calories, but have only just brought myself around to feeling sure I'm past it.
Hey girlfriend,
I'm OH SO JEALOUS of your weather right now, man send some of that sunshine over my way PRETTY PLEASE!!!!!!
This has been a tough December eating wise for me, and it's just been a strange one all together with all the crazy stuff that has happend, but I'm ready to kick it back in shape next month with just about everyone else. Do you think you'll join a challenge next month?? Have you done one of those yet?? I can't wait to do another one, since i did so badly on Decembers challenge.
Well, I better get going, I have a lot do get done today. But I wanted to be sure to tell you HAPPY NEW YEAR and have a great weekend!!
loved the picture, thanks for sharing it with us!
Kim
You are welcome to an extra 20-30 degrees F daily!! When you feel a warm south wind - that's from us. I hope the arrival is timely!
Thanks for the New Year wishes and for the visit, Kim. At least you had hard and uncontrollable circumstances to blame for the disruption to your hard work. I can't claim anything like that.
I have never joined a challenge here. Perhaps therefore I don't know as much about how they work as I could. I see they appear to be really helpful for some other people. I've never been sure they would be the best way for me personally - but perhaps that's because I've misapprehended them as requiring the achievement of weight targets rather than activity targets.
Oh beer and cashews, fair call, i could do 7000 alone on cashews myself :O
And if anyone wants to swap a little cool for a little hot feel free to swap with me! :O
I expect there is enough icky cold up there for us both to share if we only could!!!
We're in a weather lull just now. I reckon I could have walked during the daytime today if I hadn't been badly shanghaied on my way out the door. At least the weather was nice enough.
I noticed the other day that on the first page of my diary I was hurdling motherhood barriers to get started with my exercise and it seems that's a constant. I see that I need both more confidence and a stronger habit, to make it happen, and that both will come from just doing it, and then doing it again ...
Hi Felici
Just calling in to say that I hope that you had a happy birthday. You mentioned that you had the same birthday as Frankie in her diary.
Take care
Love
Margaret
Thank you Margaret. That's exceptionally thoughtful! I hope my birthday mate will have time to get back here soon too!!
I got a pedometer for Christmas!! I'm not sure if it works properly though. I finally put it on my waistband late this afternoon, and it seems to have registered 2000 or so steps already. That seems a bit high for someone who has basically just walked back and forwards between the computer, the kettle and the loo!! At least it's nice and tight though. I haven't dropped it on the floor yet.
Gawd, I'd smack ya with a snowball in a New York second for one day of warmth. This deck walking is just not getting it done. I really lost my zest for it this year for some reason
I wanna ride !!
A late Happy Birthday wish to you Kerry A !!
Well at least one of your snowy months is nearly done with! New music on the ipod!!
Ta for the happy birthday! I did have a lovely day. I got lots of appearance related gifts- jewellery and a special dress.
Now I need to use the extra holiday time I have, to deal with all the extra thousands of calories I've eaten and get myself, yet again, into a new space on my scales, so that I feel like I have a reason to celebrate the dress. I want to go back to feeling as though my tummy is where it wants to be when it's tucked in a bit, instead of feeling fraudulent!!
Thanks to everyone who posted here when I didn't. I did keep reading here, and I feel guilty about not replying sooner. I guess while I was constantly saying to myself that I was almost done with overeating, I was also telling myself that I was almost ready to post here.
I want to write a bit more about this, but not now. I'm going to try and get some sleep first.
about my food today.
