Ok back home! Couldn't stop grazing on rubbish foods when I was away on business, BUT I'm back now. Just trying to get on track, and my cold still seems to be lingering. Nevertheless, I managed to get some walking time done today. Still haven't been able to get back into the gym. Just so busy with work, especially with Christmas coming up. [Prepping Christmas at work]....
I miss my "me time"!!
So DAY 41 has been ok. I really didn't need that treacle tart after our crispy duck dinner, but what the heck, it's Friday and if weather permits tomorrow, it's a nice long walk through the woodlands again. Maybe even pick up some chestnuts along the way.

Day 41, in the books! Didn't get enough food in today, but it's 9:37 so I'll do better tomorrow. Have a great night.0

Treacle tart? How could you refuse good job girl! I went out for dinner at a hungarian restaurant and worked out extra hard and saved calories but wow those red wine sure add up! More than halfway there yeah us!!!!0

I apologize for not signing on daily to this thread... but I do contribute in spirit daily... I am well on my way to my holiday weight by keeping my calorie consumption between 1200 - 1500 and I burn 500-1500 calories per day through exercise. I am seeing an average of two pounds lost per week but more importantly I see my measurements getting smaller by at least a half inch per week. I love it. I just ordered P90X and start that on 11/1 so I will post measurements and before photos along with updates to the thread... if you are interested please friend me and join me0

Day 43--Here we come! Good luck everybody!

Day 43 was great for me! Kids, shopping, cleaning, walking, eating, and hopefully soon, sleeping!!!! It has truly been a wonderful day. Have a great night everybody.0

day 43... downhill slide0

Day 44 - It was a hard one. There were goodies galore at work and I actually ate not one but two cinnamon bagels. I managed to eat nothing else till dinner and still ended up under for the day, but man I felt a little out of control there. I hope those don't show up for a while. 0

So... I got off track for 10 days. Blech. :sick: Well, not ten CONSECUTIVE days, thank goodness -- anyway, lost my mojo there for a bit. First we celebrated the hubby passing the bar. Then the next day we celebrated again, with ice cream. Saturday was Ren Faire. One night we ordered out for pizza. Another night we grabbed Macaroni Grill for lunch, and In 'N Out for dinner, because we ran errands all day and weren't home to cook. In all honesty -- I had MANY opportunities over the last ten days to make GOOD choices, and I chose poorly.
But between those poor choices I struggled, and I fought, and did my best to think rationally and eat better.
Yesterday I planned my food, weighed and measured my portions, logged everything, drank my water, AND exercised. Time to do the same today. Get back into that consistent groove.
Two steps forward, one step back. Gotta keep fighting for that forward momentum. Giving up is the only certain path to failure.0 -

Ah don't worry, I got side tracked myself. A healthy lifestyle is always a working progress. Don't give up!
Sorry guys for neglecting this thread. It's been so hectic at work and with just getting over the flu and spent half the day as a pin cushion at the hospital today, I'm finally home able to relax and catch up with you guys.
Last few days have been....comfort eating. With the weather change, I'm drawn to hearty warm meals and yummy spongey puds and less cold salads/sushi. I always seem to crave sponge puds and custard around this time of year but I'm trying my best to resist and just have it once a week.
As weight loss goes, I seem to be maintaining. Not complaining though. Health first.
....wow does time fly :laugh:0 -
Day 45. I wish I had been posting every day here. This has been the most awesome thing in my life. I totally wouldn't have done as well without. I'm just a pound away from passing up the dreaded sticking weight. I know it will not get me this time. Today was an awesome day and I hope it was the same for all of you.0

Day 46!!! Woohoo. It was a crazy day, but good. I'm so blessed with my family and my job. And the Yankees finally won a game! WooHoo!0

I nominate Paula as MVP of this challenge!
Day 46 for me.0 -
10/21/10 (day 47 of the challenge?) Done!
Getting back on track, now. Took a couple days to get my head back on straight, but I'm back!
Started Bob Harper's "Inside Out Method" DVDs this week. They make me as sore as a class at the gym, which is not something I can say of ANY other workout DVD I've done.0 -
Day 47 was pretty good as it was my first day back at the gym after 3 weeks, so
today...day 48 I'm feeling pretty sore, but I managed to squeeze in a very long walk after work. I will most definitely feel it more tomorrow probably. Didn't really eat my exercise calories today, but to be honest, I wasn't feeling that hungry.
Keep on going !!0 -
Day 49 in the books. Thank you DJ for starting this, btw--you describe yourself as a dude who like to encourage others and THAT is a major understatement. lol! thanks, friend! good luck everyone!

Day 50... 30 days until Thanksgiving... I am so blessed to be surrounded by such good and positive people...0
-
Whoo hoo Days 48-50 have been good. Ok over ate again by a little bit on one of the days but I'm still maintaining my weight and haven't gained. WIN.
Day 51. Had a great day. Didn't overeat and getting back on track at the gym. I've been stuck on Couch to 5K - Week 7, Day 2 for a few days since my "three week intense workout break". So trying to get my stamina back up on that.
Not long now everyone!0 -
day 51 - did not eat late!0
-
Day 55 in the books!0

Sorry, I've been neglecting this thread.
I've been away for work and have lost my way in eating. The chocolate sweetie monster came out for a few days. Couldn't keep control and being away from home didn't help keep oneself on track when work got too hectic to find something healthy to eat. So I now have gained back just over 1kg (nearly 3lbs).
Anyway, tomorrow is Monday and I am determined to work my butt off at the gym especially this week.
[hmm...this 80 day thing is not going so well for me]0 -
Congrats to three ladies that absolutely mastered this challenge... kerid,elmct57 and goldspaula... My hat is off to you for your super dedication to this thread...
I hope to end by fulfilling 75 of the 80 day committment... but you folks are so impressive to me.
I am better for knowing you... If I missed someone who was as dedicated please let me know...
Be good,
Don0 -
Thanks DJ--i give you all the credit since it was your post that got me going. Happy Thanksgiving everyone!0
