Re: How Long Can You Go???

Hi all! Tommy told me about this challenge and I thought I'd give it a go.
Its morning here in Norway - July 9th and day one of induction.
The hardest thing for me is going to be making it thru the next few days without my pepsi max. I am addicted to pepsi. Totally addicted. So be prepared for a grouchy bear
Thanks for starting this challenge Maribelle!

Re: How Long Can You Go???

I didn't check in yesterday....but I was still good. It wasn't exactly the best I could have eaten, but I made it through the day. One more day down. This is really hard sometimes.

Glad the rest of you are here!

Re: How Long Can You Go???

Hey everyone, I haven't checked in today, so here I am.

Things have a way of going wonky on the weekends, and though I didn't cheat, I'm not really happy with my eating habits. I didn't eat lunch until way late, I napped, and I'm just sitting down to dinner at what? 11:30 at night I didn't exercise as much as I'd have liked either, and my water intake was crap compared to what it normally is. If I'm not rigid with my eating/exercise/water, I get lazy and I'll cheat. I feel like I'm in better control during the week.

Don't be too hard on yourselves for cheating. Easier said than done, I know...but we're all human.

Thats is so great that you know your triggers are see early warning signs. It makes me think I should be starting to look for the same things. I think I will.

You are so amazing for doing this! Giving up addictions is so hard both physical and emotional, I am so proud of you!

It's a great idea! I had never paid that much attention to how other things in my life affected the way I ate, but when I noticed finally, it was like hitting a brick wall! Sleep, stress, and just random changes in schedule can really throw you off.

By the way, I think you're so supportive of everyone here, that's awesome!

Re: How Long Can You Go???

Okay, I'm officially starting Induction in the morning. Getting ready for my Induction Flu and being prepared for the first three days. Thankfully, that will be over soon and the weekend will be here again and that means...the best is yet to come!

Thanks for saying that I love you guys!

I totally over ate yesterday and had about 1 billion carbs and now today I dont feel like eating at all. I went to the gym this morning and rode the bike for 40 mins and was feeling just okay. I am not craving anything bad or really anything at all and drinking water is a task today. I think I will go get some chicken thats always makes me feel better lol. Hope everyone is doing well!

Re: How Long Can You Go???

AWWWWW Tommy, we love you too!!! You are a supportive lil' rascal, aren't ya?! Glad you came our way!

Hi all! You're all doing so good, I'm bursting with pride for you all! I had a good day too. It was a little hard about 15 minutes ago. I came back from taking a meal to someone in our parish who's son is in the hospital with massive brain trauma. She just talked to me for half an hour, and told me everything. I've never felt so small and insignificant after listening to what this woman is suffering! It made me realize that no matter what I've been through, its nothing compared to what some people suffer. Anyway, I cried all the way home, and when I got here the desire to comfort myself with food was pretty strong, but instead I had blt lettuce wraps and water! YEAH!!! One small step at a time! Now I feel much more positive just for having read all your upbeat posts! And thanks for checkin on us, Jo....makes me feel like mama hen is there to chase the foxes away!
