How Long Can You Go???

Re: How Long Can You Go???

I do use fitday but not daily,i just like to keep a check on my percentages at least once a week.I also did the yeast quiz some months back and found i had some of the symptoms but not many and at the time was losing steadily so didnt think i had a problem.If i dont start to lose again soon the anti yeast version may be something to have a go at.Im going to do the quiz again later today.

todays menu

brekkie..2 egg omlette with 1/2 cup peppers and mushrooms

lunch...3 slices corned beef 1 1/2 cup mixed salad (lettuce, radish,cucumber,spring onion,celery) 1oz feta cheese 1tbs mayo

Dinner ...Large chicken leg/thigh 1cup mixed brocolli,cauliflower

I pretty much eat the same everyday but change stuff round
for example

Breakfast...Eggs with either bacon or carb free turkey sausage or peppers and mushrooms

lunch...always a mixed salad and feta with chicken or tuna or Eggs

Dinner...1cup either spinach,brocolli,cabbage,cauli,aubergine,courgette etc
And a protein (chicken,steak,100%beefburger,fish,lamb,pork loin)

I drink 4ltrs water daily and walk 2 miles there and back to work 4 times a week plus im on my feet all day at work running around in a busy shop,im actually so pooped from the heat and running around that i just dont think i could fit any more exercise in at this point.

Anyone see anything nasty lurking in there ?

It all sounds really good... I don't see any problems! You sound like an Atkins professional! So it will eventually drop for you...probably just when you feel like it never will. With all the exercise you're doing, I'm sure it will! Is it hot where you are? I have major water retention problems in the summer when its hot. My ankles always get really puffy. May the Whooshie fairy visit you soon!

I've made it through Day 3 and am working on Day 4 now. And I lost another 1/2 pound, so that's 10 1/2 total. Wednesday will be my 2 weeks so I will take my measurements then. I think I'm going to stay on extended induction until I reach my mini goal of 180.

So YOU'RE the one holding the whooshie fairy captive! Share the joy, buddy! So happy for you for staying the course, and congrats on the loss!

Re: How Long Can You Go???

Tirtle - You're doing terrific. I'm so proud of you for passing up all the temptation you've come into contact with lately. You're showing everyone just how strong and committed you can be!

Cristy - I know everyone has already commented on your triumphant comeback from your cheat, but I just wanted to say congratulations. That took a lot of determination to jump right back on the wagon. Good Job!

Tamariah - WOOHOO on your loss! That is so cool!

Kat - Thanks for the post link about moving through the rungs of OWL. I had been trying to decide whether or not to go forward at the end of my two weeks and that post helped. I also wanted to say THANK YOU! for being so supportive and on top of everything. I can't tell you how many times I've visited the board and read your posts to someone else and they work for me too. What would we do without you?

I know that I've just touched on a few posts. Everyone is doing such a good job and staying cheat free and for those haven't, you've done excellent at picking yourselves up.

I had several speed bumps this weekend, some larger than others, but I got through them and learned a few lessons. The most important lesson was that if DH comes home early and says 'let's hook up the waverunners and hit the lake' I always need to make sure I eat some first. It was 9:00 by the time I ate dinner Friday night and I was sick. I knew there were problems starting when I was playing on the water and I had to stop every so often so my head would stop spinning. And then we stopped at a convenience store for DH to get something to eat on the way home and I just stayed in the truck cause I knew the urge would be too strong since I was so hungry.

This is our first day to hit triple digits (and our first ozone alert day - so of course I need gas...) so it's not as hot here as some of you are sweating thru. I'm planning on starting my exercise program this evening after work.

I hope everyone has a terrific, cheat-free day. Stay cool!

Re: How Long Can You Go???

Holy reading! I havent been on since yesterday morning! It has been too HOT!!!! No ac by the computer!!!!

I made it through the weekend cheat free!!!!! I am amazed! I mean I knew I could... its just been awhile since I have had a successful weekend! So I have completed day 5 now!!!!!

I like your idea Mari about the inactives! I sure wish they would come back though! But I guess some people think they can do it alone! They will be back when the goin gets tough!

In a 12 step program, you hear the saying: "its not a ME program, its a WE program", or youd hear " there isnt the letter I in the word WE". Same rings here too I think! We need each other! The sooner people realize that, the more success they will have!

Here's to a great week my friends!!!!

Tirtle well said!!!!! I couldn't finish reading the posts after reading this one WE NEED EACH OTHER!!!! To add to what you said, there is no I in SUCCESS. I know I don't go to each post and post on everybody, but I send my love to everybody here!!! We will make it together!!!
