Re: ~~Winter ONEderland Challenge(Dec.)~~~
Hey that's cool, me and my fiance have been engaged for about 3 and a half years too lol.
Strange that we both have been struggling so much!! I don't know what's been going on. Maybe it is the holiday season? I don't know. I will do really good one day and then won't be able to stop binging on legal foods the next two days. And have been wanting to cheat SO BADLY... The past few months I was like NEVER tempted to cheat, but lately it has been taking every iota of strength I have to not give in!!!
I was wondering if I have been pushing myself a little too hard and not eating enough. . So this week, instead of worrying about weight loss I've decided just to ease up a little bit and focus on getting back on track.
Some things I'm going to try:
-Stop eating Cheddar cheese. The past few recipes I was using cheddar cheese with were SOOO delicious that I kept eating and eating. I am going to go a week without the cheddar to see if that helps. Maybe it is a trigger food for me.
- Not worry so much about keeping my caloric intake so low just to lose faster. I may have been eating too few calories and maybe that's what was making me feel like binging. I think my body was feeling like I was starving it and that might have set off the cravings to cheat.. Maybe I should be making my meals bigger, but sticking to my three meals a day. Even if I lose slower, it is better then quitting!!
- Don't exercise more then one hour a day. Last week a few of the days I had exercised 2 hours a day. Lost a heck of a lot of weight the next day, but I'm more worried about consistently losing and staying on the wagon!!!
Well that is the game plan, I will let you know how it turns out. Today was good so far. Another thing, I'm going to give myself a break from the scale for a few days. At least until Wednesday. I hope I didn't gain too much from the past 2 days where I couldn't stop eating things like omelets and cheddar cheese snacks. But if I did I wont' beat myself up for it!!
Hope you both are doing great!!

Caution I BITE!
2nd of all my mind is trying to convince me that if I start my weight will go up. I am very obsessed with that 189 number now, as it has been FOREVER since I have seen it. The rational part of me knows that is ridiculous as we must exercise to aid in weight loss, tone, and to keep the weight off. But, I have never been known as a very rational person
I actually come from a family of brothers who compete in weight-lifting/strong-man. They are completely dedicated to lifting weights 3 days a week no matter what. My father was a pro-football player and at age 62 still works out 3 days a week. My mom is a tiny 5'2, 102lbs and runs 3 days a week(also age 62) Then there is me who can't stick one of the 30 or so exercise tapes that I've accumulated over the years into the VCR and get moving.
I know what you mean a bout wanting to see 189.. I'm longing to see that number!! Unfortunately every time I get close to it, I screw up lol. Keep up the momentum, you're doing great!!
