Stepping into me

weebeme · 12-30-2007, 09:35 PM

So, here I am. 7 months on FF and hanging between 145 and 147 depending on the day.
This weekend I went up to my sister in laws to hang out with family.
Its still tough after 6 yrs of not having my husband (their brother) to come with me. I don't always feel like I fit in...and thus the eating and over eating while there. Self soothing behavior.
This weekend I started out well. I brought along my own dinner (chix, green beans, sweet potato) and my vitamins (fat flush kit, magnesium, biotin, and CLA 1000) I walked on my sister in law's treadmill yesterday for 50 mins. We shopped and then got back for lunch and someone put out cookies and chocolate and I just fell into it! :diablo: I managed to eat my FF way for b'fast and dinner as I prepared but lunch threw me.

I look forward to the holidays being over, the cookies and junk to disappear and the cravings to vanish. I plan...yes PLAN on going back into P1 tomorrow morning and finishing off the day P1..then step into P1 day 2 etc etc. and forward and forward.

Its day 1..... woke this morning and was lazy in bed since I'm still on vacation. I went through the shoulda woulda coulda's about going for a walk... well it was raining and cold so I stayed put!

Got up and had my LLC, then my HLW and by the time I got around to eating b'fast it was noon!! So, instead I made a great chicken salad with mixed greens and veggies and then threw one HB egg over the top. YUM!!
I later ate the other egg and then took the supplements.

I'm thinking I may try the 3 day program I saw in First for Women and see if a ful day on juice may work in jump starting this body back into the loss mode. I know what it is I'm doing and eating that aren't conducive to FF so its just getting rid of those 'habits' that should just be eradicated from my diet and I should see loss again.

I did a clean day up until 7pm last night. Went to a friends house for dinner and thought about brining my own dinner but didn't follow through. So, pasta, greek salad and apple pie for dessert..yikes! I did avoid the alcohol though.
I woke in the middle of the night feeling sick and this morning I'm feeling similar...must be the pasta.

I re-read the First For Women article again and think I am going to do the miracle juice fast today. I believe it will be good for me to help me through the damage of last night and on into a cleaner phase 1.

weebeme · 01-02-2008, 01:28 AM

Today is not as bad as I thought it first would be. I kept wondering if I'd be hungry doing this juice fast. I can honestly say for the majority of the day, I was not hungry. I felt the urge to pop a pretzel stick...but not out of hunger!

I did feel a bit peckish around dinner time but two glasses of water took care of that. I am about ready for my 2nd to last glass of juice.
I am a bit curious as to what the scale will show tomorrow.

Tomorrow I will have my juice for the day again but will add back in the menus listed in the magazine.

Happy New year to you too JanRose.
I agree with your statement about never getting over the death of one you love. It will be 6 yrs for us this Jan 21st... we will never get over losing him at such a young age (39) but it does get easer to hold.

Woke this morning and was surprised to find I wasn't hungry at all!

I jumped on the scale and was happy to see 4lbs gone!!
I've not fixed my #s...so here they were yesterday
187/151/135
and this morning
187/147/135

Drank my CW and HLW and then headed off to the chriopractor and then the gym for my walk. I usually walk for an 50 mins = 3 miles but instead I walked at a lower speed (did a fat burn on the treadmill) for 35 mins and did 2.15 miles.

Had a veggie scarmble for bfast and am now ready for the rest of the day. I go back to work tomorrow and still need to prepare my monthly news letter (we will be exploring arctic animals...my favorite unit!)

Today was a very good on program day! I back to work today ( school break, I teach) and the smell of the animal crackers I was putting out for snack began screaming my name!!!

BUT
I did not, I repeat, I did not cave in and eat any of those yummy little cookies!! I ate my eggs late in the morning, then drank a lot of cran water. I'd made and brought along my lunch so being prepared was good for me.

Day two is winding down and I've survived the dreaded 4pm munchies too. I saved my 2nd fruit for then and began cooking dinner. I then heated some cranwater and added cinnamon and a little stevia for my 'tea' and snacked on some veggies. I'm now sated and will be fine to sit and eat a nice dinner with the kids

Stepping on the scale this morning showed 147 again...so hopefully tomorrow will show a loss.

Happy morning day 3!! I did the miracle juice fast for the first day...then clean phase 1 for two days and I'm happy to see today another 2 lbs off the scale for a total of 6 lbs!

so now back to business of furthering the weight loss!

Long day of tutoring, working and meetings today...blah! Guess I should look on the bright side, I only had 2 days of work this week and now the weekend is here

I'm enjoying being back on a clean phase 1. I just feel better now that I 've gotten the sugar and the breads I indulged in over the holidays, out of my system.

Yesterday I treated myself to a massage (thanks to a Christmas gift cert from my afternoon class of preschoolers). A nice way to celebrate 7lb loss

I'm finding that the kids are enjoying some of the recipes I've made from the cookbook.
Tonight was the mushroom chili...they near licked the pot clean!

Tomorrow I plan to make lemony chicken.

weebeme · 01-08-2008, 01:28 AM

So I am wonderng if the reason the scale has still not budged again is stress??
I just got 'promoted' to the position of Kindergarten teacher for Sept. I'll finish out the year teaching pre-kindergarten and many of my students will loop right into Kindy with me. The stress??
Planning..of course, a whole new set of lesson plans (I'm currently revolving 3 yrs of lesson plans in my preK class and then adjusting the lessons to the needs of my students).

This Thursday I have had an informational night requirement sprung on me... I just don't have any curriculum or such to show or discuss yet! So ...... stress stress over the questions I may be asked come Thursday night!
Normal stress everyone has...bills, work, juggling kids activities....
I plan on going to bed toinght at 9:30 to get a good 8 hrs in tonight!

I did get out and get a walk in with my little Chloe (shih tzu yr old pup). I did 2 mile walk with her..with many potty and sniff breaks!

Tonight I picked up a cooked chicken instead of making dinner. The kids were fine with it and to tell you the truth, so was I! Pair it with steamed greenbeans and spaghetti squash and there ya go!

Now to just work off the stressers......
