The Diamond Challenge: Week 3 (Little Diamonds)

miss_jamaica

Sorry that my Wednesday question didn't apply to many of you. After 3 rounds of The Diamond Challenge, I'm running out of questions that haven't already been covered.

Ha ha! I had to Google some question ideas! I'm in the same boat :-)

Question of the Day- Friday August 5th (TGIF!!!!)

Reflect on this challenge since Day 1..........What have you learned and what have you changed as a result of being a Little Diamond?

I have been doing this challenge for a while, but I feel that I always come away with a new outlook! This round I was able to communicate just with you petite ladies, and I have to say that it was an amazing experience! I saw many of you struggle the way I do with losing smaller amounts of weight, and while I knew this to be the case it was refreshing to find that I was truly not alone! I love my Diamonds!

I'm starting to learn a bit more self control. I've had a few cases where I've been tested, and while I haven't been perfect, my eating behaviour has improved so much compared to before. I like having a partner to talk through the issues with. Sometimes just putting it out there for someone who understands what you're going through just makes the burden easier to bear. I also find that I'm much more careful about what I eat so that I don't let my partner or my team down.

I've learned there are some awesome people who support me when I'm struggling and frustrated, not just when things are good. Likewise, my partner Kimi131 will be a lifelong friend! We've gone thru a bit together these last few weeks and I couldn't ask for a better buddy! (She even tolerates my random texts!)

QOTD Tuesday: What is your favorite meal? By this I mean the meal that you most look/looked forward to, without regards to calories. Now, can you make it MFP-worthy?

One of my favorite food is pizza. I now enjoy making pita pepperoni pizza.

Question of the Day - Wednesday: How have your new healthier habits (eating healthier, exercising, etc.) affected your significant other and/or child(ren)?

I'm single with no children. However, many of my healthier habits are rubbing off on my sister and my friends. Many of them have started to workout more and we often talk about our eating habits and how we could eat healthier.

since day 1 of this challenge I have been sick and it really has been a challenge for me I'm still struggleing with my food and exercise. I thought this cold, ear / throat infection was gone and now it is back and I'm going for the food to try to make me feel better. I know this is wrong . However the last challenge with the diamonds was my first and I was so excited and did very well losing every week and the thing I learned was to be consistant with tracking and exercising and the weight will come off. but having the contact with my partner was the best it was inspiring and just knowing that someone cared what i was doing and I cared what they did really was so motivational.

I'm going to answer this while I have the opportunity...getting busy at work so need to reduce the amount of time I check MFP during the day:

I love audiobooks (not a big fan of sappy romance novels...LOL)

As far as movies...I like quite a few different types, but horror would be at the top of the list. Here are a few of my favorite movies:

- The Notebook
- All the Twilight movies (TEAM EDWARD ALL THE WAY!)
- Ten Things I Hate About You
- Pirates of the Caribbean
- Harry Potter

I can watch some movies over and over and over...LOL

I'm also going to reply early since I'm not sure what my schedule's like tomorrow. I prefer a good book to a movie, and read a lot of science fiction and fantasy. My favourite books are The Kingkiller Chronicles, The Moon is a Harsh Mistress, and Ender's Game.

It's tough to choose favourites, but the movies I can watch over and over are Shawshank Redemption, Almost Famous, and the Princess Bride. I also really like Star Wars (OT) and LOTR.
