Re: How Long Can You Go???

Yanno.... I WOULD go whip Tommy, but I have a feeling he likes it too much, and I think he just waits....lurking around here...reading our stuff....and waiting for us to go fetch his manliness and drag him back here kicking and screaming. But he secretly LOVES it. Lets all PM him at once shall we? I'll go first....cause he expects craziness from me.

Re: How Long Can You Go???

I'm back, hanging my head in shame. I lost my button Monday. I have been having some problems with my blood pressure, potassium, and blood sugar all out of whack. I about passed out several times while walking Monday and had to stop and sit down, so I hadn't ridden my bike or finished my other exercises. On top of feeling awful, I had spent the day trying to get my son ready for a scuba diving trip to Florida. I felt terrible so bought my son Sonic for supper because that was easier. He left about 8 tater tots. I picked them up to throw them away, and figured what the heck, I hadn't eaten much (though I wasn't hungry at all) so I'd have one. BAD idea. Tater tots happen to be one of my comfort foods. I figured I had already done bad for the day, not getting in my exercising, not enough water, or enough calories, I'd have one more. And one more. I took the rest and put them down the garbage disposal!!

SO...I am going to have to get strict with myself again.

I think the thing that helps me most is to come here and post every day. I had been slacking on that. Hopefully we are getting my meds all adjusted so I'll be feeling better soon. In the meantime, I will try to do just a few minutes of walking or riding my exercise bike at a time. I figure even a little at a time is better than nothing at all. My doctor said I also need to go try to get my calories up some, even if that means eating less amounts more often.

On the bright side, I'm cheat free so far today, and tonight I will earn my Day 2 button back.

Roshan - Hooray for you! You should get extra buttons for doing the yeast diet. That is SOOO tough. I am glad your back is better. Back pain can really make life miserable.

FedUp- Congrats to you for getting back up and starting over. It can be so easy to say, "Well, I blew it today..." then " I blew it this week..." and before you know it months have passed and you've gained everything back and then some. It takes a strong person to admit a mistake and start over, so kudos to you.

I am cheat free for another day. My scale is ignoring me I think (and I ate so much of that dang Whooshie Pie

). I just know that fairy is lurking somewhere. Maybe my dog Sparky is scaring her away. I did not do my walk today. I am planning on investing in some better shoes so that my back won't hurt so much.

Have a lovely evening everyone.

Re: How Long Can You Go???

On vacation so this is a quick check in! We are both still cheat free and I've lost count of the days. No access to a scale, but feeling good. Will check in again in a few days. Good luck to all!

Re: How Long Can You Go???

I made it another day cheat free. Yippee! My scale is broken so I won't be able to weigh until we can afford to buy another. Oh well. lol

Re: How Long Can You Go???

Almost back to a week! I don't feel as I ever fell off, just popped up a rung for a night ....... so it hasn't been hard to do. I am heading out for a conference tomorrow and Friday but plan to be cheat free for both days. Even during a planned trip to the bar for a bit on Thurs night.

Im ready for the structure of returning to full time work soon. Have I already mentioned that??!! Even if it is putting me around food all day long. I will have plenty of support from friends I work with. Im going to try to round up a group to be walking buddies a couple of afternoons each week after school.

Wish I had a blinkie to wear on my shirt to work each day!

Re: How Long Can You Go???

Happy Thursday!

-- You know what that means...? It is ALMOST FRIDAY!! Ya Hoo!!!

Re: How Long Can You Go???

I have been making my own cheat free buttons one day at a time because I didn't want to tempt fate. This morning I woke up with confidence that I will make it 2 weeks so I went ahead and made buttons for the rest of the week.

Wishing everyone cheat free days with frequent visits from the whoosie fairy.

Good morning everyone!

Star – I think Tommy likes being punished too. I’m surprised he hasn’t jumped in yet with all this talk of whipping him. I guess he’s probably still off romancing the buttons.

FedUp – Take care of yourself first and foremost! I’m sorry to hear that you’ve been having so many problems. Those bp, and blood sugar issues are nothing to mess with. I hope they do get your meds adjusted soon and you start feeling better. It’s so much easier to cheat when your health is struggling. I’m very proud of you for throwing the rest down the disposal! Big congrats on the day 2 blinkie!

Kislandmom – I hope Sparky didn’t eat the whooshie fairy!

Maybe your scale just can’t keep up with all that weight you’re losing from the whooshie pie.

Gabrielle – Hope that you’re enjoying your vacation. Congrats on both of you still being cheat free! I think that’s so hard when you’re relaxing and enjoying yourself.

Beccanae – Woohoo on another cheat free day! I see you’ve found a very good way to stay of the scale.

Terry – You’re doing so well! It’s good that you feel like you just adjusted to the situation instead of all out cheating, because that’s exactly what you did! Have fun at your conference! Are you a teacher? Just wondering since you mentioned returning to full-time work soon and schools are starting up.

DRosa – Woohoo on day 11 cheat free. You’re doing awesome!

Roxy – Excellent job on the cheat freeness!! Looking forward to seeing your days accumulate.

Christine – How’d the weigh-in go? That was today, wasn't it?

Dolphin – Sure hope that your pile of papers is decreasing and you’ll have time to come visit us soon.

I was having a pretty good day until somebody (ahh hemm Ms. Samantha and Ms. Kat) had to go and remind me that it’s only Thursday. I was sure it was Friday by now.

I’m still doing well. I had a horrible dream last night. I dreamt that I choose to eat 6 pieces of popcorn because I told myself ‘how many carbs can 6 measley pieces have in it?’ Well, after I ate the popcorn, I looked at the bag and it said that those 6 pieces of popcorn had 37 grams of carbs in it. ACK! Talk about a carb nightmare! LOL

Hope that everyone has a terrific day. Stay cool!
