Fri, 31 Jul 2009 14:50:16 EST A Happy Friday for Me! http://www.sparkpeople.com/mypage_public_journal_individual.asp?blog_id=2256600 This is a "Praise Report of sorts... <BR> <BR> Things have been a little off lately but I've refused to let that get me down. Nothing will deter me from my goals!!! <BR> <BR> a) I measured my hips yesterday (something I now do weekly, thanks to SparkPeople) and I'm down my first inch! That was rejuvenating! <BR> <BR> b) I also noticed today that I have about a thumb's amount of space between my pants and my waist. <BR> <BR> c) I'm also so much more energetic than I was before. ... Fri, 24 Jul 2009 15:45:00 EST I Know He Means Well... http://www.sparkpeople.com/mypage_public_journal_individual.asp?blog_id=2240191 I have a particular family member who keeps encouraging me to eat what I want at the time and not what I need to or should eat. I know he means well and just wants me to be happy but how do I tell him that what he's doing isn't helping my new "healthy living" efforts without hurting his feelings? <em>24</em> <BR> <BR> Has anyone dealt with (a) similar situation(s)? If so, how have you handled it? <BR> <BR> Sat, 18 Jul 2009 23:10:36 EST If At First You Don't Succeed, Try, Try Again. http://www.sparkpeople.com/mypage_public_journal_individual.asp?blog_id=2225689 Secrets of the 5% <BR> What You Can Learn from Successful Dieters <BR> <BR> "...They allow Themselves To Fail. It’s a guaranteed certainty. Every one of the 5% has failed at some point along their weight loss journey. The difference is that they learned to forgive setbacks and refused to beat themselves up. Every failure is simply one step closer to ultimate success. With this outlook, and using lessons learned along the way, they kept these setbacks from turning into full-fledged disasters.... Mon, 13 Jul 2009 16:05:59 EST Official Week One Almost Down, The Rest of My Life to Go! http://www.sparkpeople.com/mypage_public_journal_individual.asp?blog_id=2217948 I've had a really great week. The usual ups and downs and internal battles, but Thank God, I did it! Tonight is the last night of this week (I'm splitting up weekdays/weekends) and I have actually been able to curb my bad eating habits. <BR> <BR> This week, I did not: <BR> <BR> 1. ...eat that piece of office birthday celebration chocolate cheesecake that was plopped right next to me and staring me in the face. (I expediently dumped it in the trash behind me.) <BR> <BR> 2. ...eat afte... Fri, 10 Jul 2009 10:52:04 EST Small Personal Victory... http://www.sparkpeople.com/mypage_public_journal_individual.asp?blog_id=2212656 I have a habit of late night eating (I don't even count it as snacking b/c it'll usually be another meal). And in the past, if I hadn't eaten a full meal sometime after dinner, I would feel deprived and would sneak something to eat. I don't even think it was that I would get hungry. I just felt the need to eat. <BR> <BR> Well, last night, I didn't eat after dinner! Oh, I was tempted to. The voice in my head tempting me with, "Just 100 calories more. It won't hurt you. What harm cou... Wed, 8 Jul 2009 12:25:25 EST Dreams can be revealing little buggers, can't they? http://www.sparkpeople.com/mypage_public_journal_individual.asp?blog_id=2209092 Right before I went to sleep last night, I asked my husband which food he would miss most if he couldn't have it. His answer was, "Anything doughy." (Carb Addict!) Mine was, "Meat. Hamburgers in particular." (I've always been a fan of beef. Maybe that indicates an addiction or particular need of mine.) Either way, I dozed off shortly after and started dreaming... <BR> <BR> I dreamed that my local Burger King had been converted to an Arby's a few days prior. In the dream, I had gone t... Tue, 7 Jul 2009 09:39:28 EST I got some really good advice from my MIL http://www.sparkpeople.com/mypage_public_journal_individual.asp?blog_id=2206415 Recently, my mother-in-law finally won her battle with the scale. Her metabolism is revving now! The most encouraging thing she told me was that it didn't happen overnight for her. It took her over two years to get down to her goal weight (and health). She stuck with it, day by day. She didn't let anything deter her. That was so motivating! <BR> <BR> She told me not to worry about results right away (which I already knew but have never seen anyone else actually do). Just stick with ... Mon, 6 Jul 2009 11:59:25 EST Well, here is my true test. http://www.sparkpeople.com/mypage_public_journal_individual.asp?blog_id=2200389 When I'm home is when I'm faced with the most temptation. Anyone else have that particular problem? <BR> <BR> Either way, it's time to do things differently! Fri, 3 Jul 2009 12:29:50 EST I feel a lot of support!!! http://www.sparkpeople.com/mypage_public_journal_individual.asp?blog_id=2197944 I really appreciate all of the support I'm getting from other SparkPeople members already! I'm not used to having much in the way of support so this is a welcome change! <em>244</em> Thu, 2 Jul 2009 11:51:12 EST I'm heeere! http://www.sparkpeople.com/mypage_public_journal_individual.asp?blog_id=2195823 I'm on Day 3 and excited, yet nervous at the same time! How will things go this time??? <em>29</em> Wed, 1 Jul 2009 16:01:30 EST
