I have been drinking extra water and it has increased my tinkling by three! Luckily I love water, better than any other drink. But it is getting to be annoying to have to pee all the time. :drinker:
Excuse me whilst I go right now.
:huh:
Your body will adjust...I drink at least 64 ounces of water a day...I only go pee now 4-5 times...when it used to be at least once an hour. lol.0 -
i am so bad with drinking my water! lately i've been drinking flavored seltzer inbetween water - i find it easier to drink something that has a flavor to it!0

Happy Thursday!
I noticed yesterday that I had gone back to drinking ALL coffee and Diet Pepsi - so easy to fall back into old habits! So I am back to having one Diet Pepsi a day, no coffee, and the rest of the time water water water! And I feel like I"m chained to the bathroom, LOL - I know it will eventually go away when my body gets used to the water again, but jeez! I'll probably rack up 5000 steps just going to the bathroom!0 -

Easiest thing to do without adding artificial crap is to add slices or limes, lemons, oranges, apples, strawberries, cucumbers, or mint...tastes great but no artifical sweetners or calories.
Ohh...and I bypasted the candies on my coworkers desk (full of Easter goodies-reeses eggs, cadbury creme eggs, mini chocolate rabbits)...so so hard...I'll have a truffle when I get home and I'll be good.0 -

This is the most fabulous idea I've heard all day... I must give this a try.

Good for you! For Valentine's we had BAGS of those little candy hearts... I had a few, I'll admit. Easter will be easier for me, because I've stopped eating chocolate all together (can't handle the caffeine... even a little over time makes my heart race.) I find that fruit makes a pretty good alternative to candy -- and fruit tastes better and better the healthier I eat, which is a win-win in my book. 0 -

Nov. 19: Final Goal Weight 150!!
Checking in early -- the hubby and I leave tomorrow morning for a 5 day vacation in San Diego. I'll be trying to eat as healthy as possible, but we're staying with his granny and I don't know what food options will be available. I won't be doing any official exercise, but we will be doing quite a bit of walking which I hope will counter-balance any extra calories I consume. Wish me luck!
Be back next Wednesday! I hope everyone has a great weigh-in tomorrow!!0 -

Sounds like a great plan. Mine is more of a gym routine...how much time on treadmill at what intervle/incline, how long on the ski machine (if that's the right word for it), Jump rope, weights-how many reps at what weight?...it's kind of nuts.
Have fun! My hubs and I are saving for a trip to Alaska.0 -
Have a great time in San Diego!0

How was everyone's weekend?
I didn't keep up with the cals (I have 'free' weekends).
I did however have to go buy a new HDMI cable...not happy about having to spend $40 on a new one. Something happened to the one in my husbands game room (he uses a 40 inch tv for a computer screen, lol) so he's been using the cable from the main tv in the livingroom...which means my daughter and I haven't been able to watch any movies and I finally got fed up with it. I hate spending money on stuff that's not essential. Before anyone jumps on me about the size of the tvs-it's because we had a tree come down and the power surge took care of the old tube tvs we had...so we got new tvs (and since the no longer make tube tvs-we got to upgrade for free).
But after I got the new cable in...we watched Ponyo and Howl's Moving Castle (we're huge Miyazaki fans).0 -
Can I just say how I chuckled when I saw the first line of this thread is that you were inspired by the Twilight Eclipse challenge?
And I'm in .. though I have to get back to you on my goals. I've fallen off the wagon (again - grrrr) and need to re-evaluate what's been working, what isn't working & create a workable plan that I can stick to without feeling so overwhelmed that I fail.
Can I get back to you on the details??0 -
I read today that Harry's Wizarding World opens June 18th. Is anyone going to be there? I am considering it, since it is almost my birthday. I am afraid if I don't go, they will have Daniel, Rupert and Emma down for the opening. Or Alan. I would just die if I missed seeing him! I think I could be inspired to lose 20-30 pounds by then. I want to find out what the plans are.0

I plan on going (just after a few months or so)...I couldn't handle the crowd when it opens (it'll be worse than the midnight showings, lol).0 -

Does anybody no if they are hiring at the Ministry of Magic? I have gotten to the point a fantasy job would be better than no job :laugh:0

I don't know about the MOM, but they were recently hiring for the Wizarding World theme park in Orlando. Wouldn't that be a neat job, to dress up and play Harry Potter for the tourists?! :laugh:0

Hi everyone! I'm back from my vacation -- got back into town at 2 a.m. last night after making a side trip to West Hollywood to visit with my brother, which was awesome and much too short!
I tried watching my diet, and made some good decisions -- and some pretty bad ones (pizza, Denny's, ice cream, and fries) but apparently all of the walking around sightseeing compensated because I lost a lb from last week! I am at a loss to explain it -- but I'm not complaining! :laugh:0 -
Welcome back. :drinker:0

Welcome back...sounds like you had a great time! Spring Break is this upcoming week for my daughter...we're planning on doing some hiking and camping...we'll see.0

welcome back and congrats on the success while you were gone!0

Nov. 19: Final Goal Weight 150!!
I'm very pleased to have met my 2 week goal today!
I've been working the last couple days on getting my diet back on track. I plan to start back on my Power 90 program on Sunday. I went to the dentist yesterday for the first of 2 appointments to replace a poorly-fitting crown, and will be wearing a temporary for the next 2 weeks. I'm not supposed to chew on it, and my mouth is still pretty sore from all the poking around, so I'm on a bit of a liquid/soft foods diet for at least the next couple days. It hasn't been difficult getting in my calories, but I find I feel a lot less sated on liquids/soft foods -- I think maybe it's because they digest more quickly than more solid foods? Anyhow, it's not so bad.
I can't wait to see how everyone else has fared this week!0 -
I'm in. I love magic.

Everyone seems to be doing great!
I didn't go to the gym like I had planned over the weekend...but it was Easter and that's more important than an hour or two at the gym anyday. I'll just do an extra 30 minutes tonight doing weights.0 -
I haven't gotten back into my exercise program since being home from my San Diego trip. I had planned to start yesterday, but I forgot about Easter. :laugh:
Tonight I'll get my cardio in for sure.0 -
I FINALLY got off my butt and got in some exercise yesterday. I couldn't face Power 90, so I threw a Leslie Sansone DVD in the player and did 3 miles, but instead of just walking I threw in jogging in place, jumping jacks and jump rope. Was a much more interesting workout. :laugh: I think my body was really craving some exercise, because I had been so tired and sluggish I couldn't even make it in to work yesterday (I seriously thought I was coming down with something) but as soon as I exercised I felt 200% better.
Also, I just discovered Fage greek yogurt. It is SO yummy! I've had greek yogurt that tastes very much like sour cream, which definitely has it's uses -- but fage has a much gentler flavor, less tart, more like cream cheese. Throw in some berries and drizzle a tsp of honey on top... or toss the whole lot into a blender... TOO good.
So -- how is everyone's week going?0 -

Nov. 19: Final Goal Weight 150!!
Sprained (or broke?) my darn pinky toe yesterday rushing through the office in sandals. Which ultimately means no exercise until it's healed. The last two days my diet has been atrocious (hubby wanted to be fun and spontaneous and surprise me with dinner... which ended up being pizza, the BANE of my existence) and I will NEED to clean that up if I'm not getting in the exercise.
I've come too far for a set back now! 0
