Oh my goodness! I SO fell off the wagon... dang it! Toward the end of last month, I totally messed things up, and didn't get back to eating right until last Sunday. But in that one week, I was able to get off all I gained, and I'm now down 2 more pounds
Whew!
Okay, so for my very 1st October weigh in...

I gained this week! Not sure how as I was within my calorie goal on 5 days (and within what is supposed to be maintenance on the other two) and I did zumba on 3 days and level 3 of the 30DS on 5 days... Oh well. :ohwell:0

Here's another tip...
9 Energy Boosters
By Kristyn Kusek
Tip 4 of 9: Get an Energy Boost From Exercise
Regular workouts boost energy stores by conditioning the body to make optimal use of oxygen and glucose, its two primary fuel sources. You need only 30 minutes of exercise, three times a week, to get the cardiovascular benefits that lead to increased vitality,” says Woodson Merrell, M.D., director of integrative medicine at the Continuum Center for Health and Healing, at Beth Israel Medical Center in New York City.
There’s good evidence that simply walking regularly can boost energy. Ongoing research on the relationship between mood and activity by Robert E. Thayer, a professor of psychology at California State University in Long Beach, has found that the more steps his research subjects take, the more energetic they report feeling.0 -
I ran 4 miles yesterday! Whoo hoo! The scale likes me because of it...
10/1: 146.4
10/7: 144.8
10/14: 143.7
2.7 lb loss this month so far, I'm super happy about being back down to 143. This was the lowest place I got before I started to gain (3 years ago, then I got back down to 146 last year) so it's all down hill from here (up hill really, but you get the point)!
Hope everyone has a great weekend. Wish me luck on my first 5k race tomorrow. After the race I'm drinking beer at the Oktoberfest festival. Should be a good time.
Jen+2, way to go on your run!! You've got some great numbers on the scale - keep up the great work! You will soon be in the 130's - doesn't that sound amazing?! I hope you enjoyed your 5k! (and the beer :drinker: )0 -

Theresa, so glad you are back on track!! I have been on the fence for a few weeks, so I know how you feel. Let's stick with it for the rest of the month, and see if we can live up to this month's mission, and "punch October in the face"!0 -
Oct 1st: 148
Oct 3rd: 147 (-1 pound)
Oct 17th: 147
Even though I do not have a loss to report since my last weigh-in, I am actually quite happy not to be reporting a gain. I have been off and on track this month, lots of ups and downs. I realize I still have a long ways to go in the next 15 days to reach goal... The good news I keep reminding myself is that what I am losing right now is staying off. So even though I'm not losing it as fast as I might like, at least I am not gaining it back.
After a blah week, my weekend was good:
- I managed to get out for a walk/run on both Sat and Sun, which is excellent, because I had 6 "rest days" in a row prior to that. (BTW, not a good idea to take a week off if you want to maintain your running fitness...)
- I went grocery shopping and replenished supplies of healthy foods.
- We went out for dinner on Sat night and I still ate on plan (yummy salad with grilled salmon).
- I spent some extra time in the kitchen last night, and made a batch of chili for my hectic night tonight (look at me, thinking ahead so I don't end up eating chips for supper like two weeks ago!)... I also made some veggie dip (with ff sour cream, greek yogurt, and a seasoning mix) and a Dukan oat bran galette. (Even though I am not actually following the Dukan diet, there are a few ideas that I have incorporated into my low-carb life.)
So, my plan for the rest of the month:
* Exercise every day: my goal is a 45 min walk/run, where run > 20 min; however my minimun plan is a 20 min walk.
* Continue low-carb plan: focus on protein and veggies; drink lots of water :drinker: ...
Sounds pretty simple, but easier said than done...

Hello everyone!
My 5 k was wonderful... so much fun! Oktoberfest was also wonderful, I drank way too much beer but I'm ok with that. Life isn't fun without some beer every now and then. Back on track today, and my next 5 k is next Saturday!

Sounds like a great plan!0 -
Ok, as I mentioned, Monday is my hectic night but I did ok. I ate a bowl of the chili I prepped last night - yay! I had one Girl Guide chocolate mint cookie, and although cookies are not on my meal plan, I am quite impressed that I only ate one. I am totally addicted to these cookies, and normally eat at least 4 at a time!! Then it was almost 10pm by the time I got the girls to bed and lunches ready, and even though I wanted to put my jammies on, I put on my workout clothes and went out for a 30 min walk! Yay! :happy: Time for bed now. :yawn:0

so well done everyone who is on their way to losing 5 lbs...i hope to see u there by the end of the month! 0 -
Ok - this is just wrong. My ad banner to the right is currently displaying a poutine (fries with cheese and gravy)... Isn't this a diet site?
Anyway, another day off to a good plan start. I've got healthy options packed for lunch and snacks, and at least a half of a plan for supper. I will need to fit in some exercise between work, supper, bathtime for the girls, and book club meeting at 8pm... It's going to be tough. I may need to think outside the box and get some exercise at lunch today.0 -
Had a sneaky peek at the scales this morning & it is heading in the right direction
I am getting back on the cross trainer this week also, so that should help give it a boost!
Lets kick Octobers *kitten* 0 -
