So... how is it going?
How's your activity routine holding up? Mine went down the drain. Today is day 1 of getting my behind in gear, busting up excuses and DOING IT. Sooo I'll be lifting weights today, and either walking, swimming or skating, depending on what's going on. Tomorrow morning, early I'll be in the pool. I plan on swimming or walking fast every day. The choice will depend on schedule and weather. I do need to get some sunshine, so we'll see. I am commiting for AT LEAST 30 minutes of moderate activity/day. That's a minimum. How's the food going? Again, I've slacked... I know, lame.. you'd think I'd be like 10 lbs up by now.. nope... 0.6 up. Which means that I'm not doing as bad as I think, and that I caught myself in time. Offfaaaahhhh.. I'm getting my gear in Flex, or whatever you call it at this point, keeping in mind all the wonderful things I've learned from doing Core. I've got some chicken marinating for dinner, shrimps for lunch, both in Tandori marinade I bought last week...it's gonna be GOOD... So my plan for today is to go shopping for veggies, and get myself ready to hit the ground running. I want to do good this week cause I have a visitor (my big brother, I'm so excited!!!) next weekend who's here for 10 days, so I want my routine to be "in" before he gets here. So that's my plan, I want to keep things going, but keep them simple. No great master plan for every seconds of the rest of my life, just step by step following my chosen plan. What's up with you? How's activity going? How do you plan to make it better? How's food going? What can you do to make it better? Will~ -- ***** With enough coffee, I could rule the world! |

Go Kate Go!!
I love "Wrong time of the month" sounds much better than all the American name for it! LOL You'll get it down! I'm trying to hide from all the flus going around.. it's insane. I'm a substitute teacher, so every school I go to there's like 4 different flus going around! ARG I need to make Veg soup. I've been meaning to for like 1 month! Today I'm making it!

Hey Willow,
I haven't been here in a year or more. You're still here lamenting, as you were last year, about not having lost the weight you hoped you'd lose. In fact, you've gained a bit. Then your post goes on, as before, to talk about food, Food, FOOD. Nothing has changed in the past year??!! Your life is still focused on FOOD? Haven't you come to realize yet that you're still a slave to your obsession with food? And that obsession is keeping you overweight? "How's the food going?" Do you have any idea how pathetic that is? Can't you find the strength to control what you think about? Are you that weak? You must always remember that all the weight you carry around you, first went into your mouth and YOU put it there! Your weakness is shortening your lifespan! Learn to think about food as sustenance, not as something you crave. Replace your food obsession with something - ANYTHING! Do you have a hobby? Take control of your actions. This newsgroup can't do it for you. You'll be happier and live longer, and you'll finally be able to stop using this newsgroup as a crutch. "Willow Herself" wrote in message ... So... how is it going? How's your activity routine holding up? Mine went down the drain.

Hey Willow, Drivel snipped. Good grief! What a miserable and unhelpful post. If it was THAT easy, we'd all be eight stone, in a size 12 dress, and bouncing with energy. It isn't, which is why we need support groups. We can vent when things go wrong, congratulate when they go right, swap tips for food and exercise management, keep up the flow of new food ideas, nutritional advice, and recipe ideas, and generally help each other with encouragement. If sour little homilies like this worked, you wouldn't be here as this group would not need to exist. If all you can do is pick on Willow for not fitting your idea of perfect, bugger off back under your bridge for another year. -- Kate XXXXXX R.C.T.Q Madame Chef des Trolls Lady Catherine, Wardrobe Mistress of the Chocolate Buttons http://www.katedicey.co.uk Click on Kate's Pages and explore! |

Why so emotional Willow?
I guess I misunderstood when you wrote "... 0.6 up. Which means that I'm not doing as bad as I think, and that I caught myself in time." I gathered from that that you're not really in control of your weight. It's to your credit that you're "still maintaining the loss" with that constant preoccupatiopn you have with food.
