Hey Blues,

Sorry it's been a while but here's the new board. Chrissy and I are starting over (hence the stars).



This week has been crazy busy but I think it will continue to be that way for the next little bit. I've been starting to get in the habit of logging again. My goal for the next week is to get all of my water in.

Have a great weekend blues and send me your weigh ins by Monday.

KaeChelle

Yeah I started over as of Monday. I didn't send you my weight, but I last weighed in at 272.5. :frown: I've done pretty good this week. I've made better eating choices (except for today) and I've done some exercise each day. I'm going to weigh myself again tomorrow morning since I usually weigh in on Fridays.

Results of Mom's angiogram: All three arteries are blocked and have calcification. The dr thought that possibly he could insert a stint in one or two, so we told him to try. He came back and said that upon further examination, they all looked very complicated, and he could try, but it would be risky. We had him stop at that point so that she could talk to the drs and make her own decision. She will talk to drs and decide when they get back to her, probably not before tomorrow. I just got home, and will wait to see what happens before deciding to go back.

Starting over. Sounds great to me!! We need a challenge of sorts what should we do?

I am going to start the beck diet solution really soon if anyone is interested in joining me. It's all about changing the way you respond to food by changing your thoughts. I would love to have company!!

Happy Friday

UltimateLover

Hi Deb,

Where can I find more information about this beck diet solution?

debnu1

Hi Deb,

Where can I find more information about this beck diet solution?

It is a book. The Beck Diet solution. I found it at the library but have a copy being mailed from amazon. $5 It is great! I am going to start officially on Monday, you are free to join me if you want, I will just tell you what to do and show what I have done. (I started another board about it but no one seems that interested yet) I would love to have company on the journey!

Hope you are all doing well. I've joined Weight Watcher's with a friend. Hopefully I can get my eating back under control. Back still hurts, getting another epidural on Thursday. Good luck on the new diet plan. I'll try to keep in touch more often.

P.S. Starting over sounds really good. I reset my ticker...WOW! My reality check just bounced:laugh:

debnu1

Tammy, best of luck with your epidural--I am so sorry you are still in so much pain! It will be so nice to be going to weight watchers with a friend. I know I do a lot better when I have someone helping me along. We can do this!

Take care!

How are all of you doing today? I am really busy, but surviving. If you want to hear the bass clarinet solo that I played at church yesterday, go to http://www.firstchristiangb.org/music.html and choose "Just a Closer Walk With Thee."
Have a great Monday!

Here is a board I started for the Beck diet solution. I completed day one today and plan on posting each one for the next few weeks. Feel free to check my progress and join in the fun! http://www.myfitnesspal.com/topics/show/267451-the-beck-diet-solution-how-to-think-like-a-thin-person

hey, all, didn't can't the new thread.

I'm going to read about the beck diet solution...have not heard of it.

Ulitmatelove: My weigh in is at: 196.4 so far

I'm so excited and I'm making this My Year to getting healthy, No Matter what happens.

I'm glad to see the familiar faces again.

I'm currently working on P90x and Insanity daily and also throw in some running.

Have an awesome day, all!

debnu1

Mayra it is an awesome book! Check out my thread and you can go through it with me! So far so good--I ate a great breakfast and then a not so great lunch and have fizzled from there but tomorrow is another day! Have a great one!

MayLan

Mary- I'm sending well wishes for your mother's health. Hope all goes well.

Debnu- I did read your thread and learned about the cognitive aspect of dieting. Sounds very interesting, since the body and mind are very connected.

I'm feeling pretty good thus far and have been getting my morning workouts. My goal has been to create a lifestyle that I can keep up with forever basically and not just another crash diet. I'm just tired of dieting, and I want to start living.

Wish you all a great day!!!

I am packing today. I am taking my grandson to church camp tomorrow. It's a special camp for grandparents and grandchildren, and lasts until Saturday. I plan to go to spend the night at my mother's house, then my grandson and I will be able to visit her in the hospital tomorrow on our way to camp. I won't have internet while I am there. Everyone have a good end of the month, and I will see you later this weekend!

debnu1

Mayra why don't you join me in the challenges. It is really helpful in changing how you look at things.

Mary have fun!!

Anyone have plans for the fourth? I am having family over for a BBQ. I am looking forward to the watermelon I bought for dessert. Have a great one!!

MayLan

Mary- that sounds fun, the camp from grandparents and grandkids. Wish you a great holiday weekend.

Well, this weekend, I'll just be relaxing, not much plans. But...I might go out to the park, if it doesn't rain.

Have a great holiday weekend, all!

debnu1

Hi all, I actually lost a lb this week! HOORAY!! I only made the mental changes too. I am excited for this journey. Hope you are doing well!!

UltimateLover

Hey blues,

Can you send me your weigh ins for Friday ASAP so I can get a new board up and running.

MayLan

good morning all and Happy 4th of July,

Ultimate lover: I just sent you my weigh in.

debnu1

Hi Ultimate! I can't remember if I sent my weight in-- let me know if I need to again

Hope everyone had a great fourth! We had new fireworks laws allowing aerials--quite the spectacle last night. A lot of fun though! I took the weekend off but am now back in action! How are all of you doing?

MayLan

I'm doing pretty well, considering the july 4th weekend. Only ate out one day, on july 4th, we went to a them park, and for dinner I had the mexican chicken salad, tried some nachos grande, and for dessert a kid's cup carvel ice cream. Not too bad..and I think I didn't go over my calories.

How are you all doing?

debnu1

I have had too many treats around the house--meals are good, snacks are not...I am working on it though!

We sure have been quiet lately. Hope everyone is ok!

msh0530

Sorry I have been gone. I have been in and out of town, and I am leaving on vacation tomorrow. Should be back on the board about the 18th. Hope you all are doing well!

debnu1

Mary, have a wonderful trip! I just remembered it's time to weigh in again. Let's get this board moving!

UltimateLover

Thanks debnu.

I'm so sorry I've been MIA, I have been logging in and starting to calculate my food but I've been so busy that I haven't had a chance to really write.

Currently, I've only been doing my ultimate frisbee and baseball which is mostly cardio so I've decided after my legs starting to be in pain that I need to switch it up. I'm currently looking into doing a bootcamp class and potentially personal training classes as well - I just have to figure out what it will cost in order to complete it. I have a friend who is currently has a personal trainer and she's doing well with it so it's just a matter of finding the time for myself to schedule in the class.

debnu1

No worries ultimate. Let me know how personal training goes, I have contemplated it. I don't have a gym membership and have looked up trainers that would come to my home but that is as far as it goes. I need to just get up and start doing p90x again...No excuses!!

I was right where I started again weight wise this morning. I am thinking we should all start over again. Tell me what you think! If it would help I could start doing the weight chart again. Just let me know. Should we come up with a new name and see if we can get more people on board? The more posts and stories the better I think... Please weigh in on that. Pun intended--he he.:laugh:

UltimateLover

Hi Deb,

I agree that we should all start over. If you don't mind, I would appreciate you taking over. I've been so swamped lately that I don't know who has sent me weigh ins or not.

debnu1

No problem. Everyone send me your weights this Friday. If you want to keep that as our weigh in day. I am finally getting back in the groove again hooray!! My book I am doing helps. But so does support from the board. Come out where ever you are!!

KaeChelle

Yeah I need a fresh start too! I keep going up and down. I'll weigh in on Friday. Sorry I haven't posted much. I will try to do better!

debnu1

I am thinking we need a challenge. What should we do?? We could all go for 5 lbs down this month. Or just check in everyday. What do you think??

KaeChelle

A challenge sounds good. I think it would help to have a small challenge each month or each week. I'm open to anything.
