OK you guys, you have me giggling now just picturing the May Pole Dance. Love It. Missy your letter is perfect. It's direct and does not ramble. They say to keep these letters short and informative. Good Luck and stay positive. I'm sure you will see a drop in your weight from the Texas trip.
CarolJ I'm in Victorville and it's also hot here and I walk in the a.m. my 1 1/2 miles in a park close to our home. Also try to walk again in the evening just before sunset unless it stays to hot. But like Gwyn I had to be uncomfortable so if it's to hot I tend to skip the evening walk. I got the fabric today for the end of the month because I don't think I can do as well as any of you. But even if it's only a couple of pounds a month it's an improvement. That is after all what we all are working towards. CarolJ Hope your headache is gone today. Gail |
WooHoo.....Im down 5 1/2 pounds since Aug 1. That's really 7 1/2 from my peak weight a few days before this started.
I just have to make it through the weekend. They kill me. This one will be hard because my sister is coming. She has a problem absorbing nutrients so she has to eat like 3000 calories a day to maintain 100 pounds. It is so hard to be around her because she literally has to eat all the time. |

Missy Ladies, come on down to Florida, I already HAVE the pole :lol: :lol: I told my oldest daughter about 3 years ago that I'd like to take a pole dancing class if I could find one in my area, I think I must have heard that it was the newest/hottest trend in exercise, so my daughter went on line and found a portable pole and sent it to me. It's still "brand new in the box" :thumbup: :thumbup: we can break that puppy out!!!! It will be much more fun to do with others, it came complete with how to video also still brand new in the box. So my date last nite went exceptionally well, I had some green beans, corn on the cob (no butter), and a large salad, though I did splurge on the salad, I put about a tablespoon of raisins and 4 pickled beets on the salad. I figured since I skipped the mac-n-cheese it would be okay. The only fish they had was fried so I quickly walked past it and never looked back. I actually found that I was so excited about taking my bestest man to his first ever play that food was secondary. :lol: :lol: Looking forward to taking him to another one, maybe not a musical next time. |

I panic when I go over my projected calorie count. But I have been trying to eat a bit more one day a week. Not a lot, but maybe have 200 - 300 calories over my normal routine. |

Terryl, I'm glad you had a good time with your grandson. I get to see mine several tmes a week and it is great! The oldest is 7 years old and the other is 3 years old. They crack me up with their antics.

Missy, I have read you should up your calories at least once a week in several places. I'm not saying eat anything you want, but just eat a more than your "normal diet calorie intake."
The last place I read this (I believe) was on Livestrong.com. It is a site to to chart your fitness and food. It also has articles and videos ranging from recipes, excercise, cancer, personal care and more. The site is sponsered by Lance Armstrong. I have been on it since July, and it charts my intake by the day, week and month. If you are diabetic it also charts your glucose and insulin. I started my dad on it yesterday and he could immediately see where he is making errors in his diet. I love the program. Someone else here uses it, I can't remember who, but she showed a chart of her weight loss from the site. |
