NON WW & WW NEWBIES, OUR NEW LIFE, THE START OF SOMETHING WONDERFUL

Hey girls,
Had written this long post and then my phone hung damn so pissed

@cbabie my email id is krupali.pandit@gmail.com, please send me your email address on this id.
So sorry everyone I haven’t logged on for several days but everyone hang in there, got to run to gym

Love to all

Hey everyone,
@trooworld I had good day, got work done, spent time with my hubby watching Netflix season 3 of daredevil which was really great, and went to the gym, did back biceps this Morning, and now have to cook dinner as I have a friend coming over, quite a productive day actually. The Halloween costume you ordered looks very good and you are on the path to lose weight, clothes can be a great motivator, makes for great NSVs. Like everyone says take each day at a time and we will reach on top of that weight loss mountain

@TeresaW1020 hey congratulations on your anniversary, so good you had a great trip, I am so happy for you and I am sure you will lose those 5 lbs really soon

@TrishasTime hope you’re feeling better, I feel your pain about cold and coughs, had a massive cold when I was traveling, anyways, I have decided to have smaller goals instead of one big one, next goal is to lose 2 kgs by 6th November, I want to hit the elusive 50 kgs on the weighing scale
It helps me when I am goal oriented

What I am finding hard is getting back to my diet, more later have contractors at home working

See you everyone, have a great day

Morning everyone

The good news is the cold seems to be moving Unfortunately it is moving to DH.

@trooworld - Remember you have not failed until you give up. We all have hiccups in the road, but at least we are trying.

@TeresaW2010 - How is now that you are back and getting back into routine?

@krupalip - Do you feel better having a goal? What work are you getting done at your house - anything exciting?

@cbabie - Thankyou IU try to get on here each day as you guys are my anchor despite me going to the WW "studio"


Take care everyone

Trish

I’m here finally. Just been real busy with life. Hoping it slows down tomorrow

Good morning everyone

@trooworld - Well done on the tracking . I have not tracked since I got sick and I know it as affected me. I feel less in control of myself. I too am glad that you have a supportive husband, I know you guys are on a tight budget. To me it is these little things.

@krupalip - Vain?? I am not sure that the word is vain. I am seeing that you have worked very hard and deserve to show yourself off. BTW you do look lovely and vibrant in the photo.

@theslightedgeforever - Glad you are still here

@TeresaW2010 - I am so glad you stopped yourself. Anniversaries are part of life and if you can not splurge every now and then - then what is life about? I am sure that getting straight back into it will show on those "metal monsters" next week.

I tried some exercise yesterday, but my body is saying way.. too soon. I have rescheduled until Monday. The cough is really bad at night now, so I have decided not to go to my evening meeting and I will look for one close to work during the day where I am not coughing. If I need to miss a week, so be it. I got a lovely email from WW this week saying congrats on 4 weeks.

Got to go

Trish

Krupalip. I had to go back and find that pic everyone was talking about. You look great. You look very happy. I went to NYC for the first time in early May. I was like a kid in a candy shop looking everywhere because we were only there for about 4 hrs

Good afternoon ladies!

@TrishasTime, I sure hope you feel better soon! Watch that cough and go to the doctor if you start feeling any worse. I had a cough a few years ago that turned into pneumonia and because I put off going to the doctor I ended up in the hospital for 6 days, with three of those days in the ICU. I then had to have oxygen at home for three weeks. That taught me to not mess around with my health.

@theslightedgeforever, well thankfully there isn't food left all the time in my office. Before this job, I worked in a place where food was brought in all the time. That was super hard! We will both work hard this week and have a good weigh in next week. Ok!!

@trooworld, I LOVE boots!! I have three pairs of booties that I just love and I plan for next year to buy a pair of tall boots. Maybe two pairs. I mean a girl needs a pair in black and brown. Right?? I hope the doctor can figure out what is wrong with your pain? Is it all the same arm? Do you sleep on that arm? Could it be your mattress? I used to sell mattresses and one of the main reasons people buy a new one is because of pain.

@cbabie, I love that quote from the book you are reading! We really are supposed to treat our bodies in the way God intended. Hey, I belong to a group called Take Back Your Temple and the owner Kimberly (who is also a friend) writes some really good stuff about emotional eating that you might be interested in. https://www.takebackyourtemple.com/ Ohhhh and I have sprayed bug spray on food before to keep from eating it!

Well, I did much better today. I was feeling so guilty for eating all that candy and I had to have a serious talk with myself about why I do things like that. Why can't I get it through my head that a few moments of tastebud pleasure is NEVER worth the amount of remorse and guilt I suffer with afterward. Now, I'm not talking about planned indulgences like I did on my vacation. I knew what I was doing and that was great. But when I find myself binging on food and hiding it from my husband (who is my accountability partner after all) then I have fallen into the deep end where I don't belong. This morning I spent some time in my Bible and talking to God, who thankfully keeps forgiving my weaknesses. Now I just have to get through the next challenge that rears its ugly head.

Trooworld. Then just eat less of the food this week. Instead of a whole serving of what you have prepared leave 1/4 in your plate. That cuts the points down. I’ve always had problems with boots. Even as a child

Cbabie. So print up some copies of that saying and put them around your house.

Teresaw1020 so do you need a little less strict boundary on candies or sweets? The adult in you has set some sort of boundary that the child in you thinks is too strict so she had to go hide while she ate it. What will make you both happy?

Bugmom. Glad to have you back. I’m not doing WW either. It looks like you have found an eating plan that works for you. That’s 80% of the battle. You have made great strides from the old Karla

@bugmom92, hello!! Thanks for what you wrote about addiction being both mental and emotional. I'm also one that just should never start with the one piece because certain things such as candy are not something I can just have one piece of and walk away. It just frustrates me so much when I know what I need to do and I know how bad I want to be successful with my weight loss and then just turn right around and blow it. It's like I don't really believe that I can do it so I set myself up to fail. Am I failing to turn myself fully over to God? Most definitely. Good for you for giving up sodas! I told my husband not to buy any more diet Cokes. I realized that I'm consuming too many of them along with sparkling waters that are full of artificial sweeteners. I look forward to getting to know you!

@theslightedgeforever, you have given me something to think about. The child in me definitely doesn't do well with denial. I am already thinking about the next couple of months and all the food functions that I will be a part of. I am going to have to find a way to make both sides of me happy. Yes, I will give your words some thought!!

@trooworld, yup I think you are right that it was Body Pump that started your pain issues. I hope your doctor can figure it out. I once had some serious pain in my back and neck and ended up at a chiro who was also a kinesiologist. The man caused me a lot of pain during the visits but he fixed my neck and back. Maybe something to look into??? OK, now onto your diet. We both have to have those talks with ourselves and get with the program. Menu plan with the points and shop smart. You got this!!

@krupalip, bummer you got in a fight with your DH! I know that can be so upsetting. I sometimes wonder if we should put a date on our goals. I know it's good to have a plan but whenever I set a certain date that I'm going to be a certain weight and I don't make it, I just get so down on myself. You just keep at it and you will get where you want to be.

So, I had a good day at work, but I managed to do something to hurt my right thigh. I am not lying when I tell you all that I can sit in a chair and manage to hurt myself. Plus, the top of my left foot has been hurting ever since I came back from our vacation. So, I'm taking the afternoon off from working out and drink decaf coffee instead. Coffee is life!!

Here is the weekly topic here in Aus





Thought it was appropriate to add since it seems to be a theme

Morning everyone

As DH is retired - I gave him the task of making the meals ( I thought why not - I do a 10 hour day). However the issue is not he cooks what he likes and does not tell me what is in it (except for a handful of this - a small handful of that). So I have taken the time this morning to pull a menu for the next week for him to follow (here is hoping). It is pointed and so it will hopefully take the stress out of guessing.

@theslightedgeforever - I have read somewhere that only do the exercise you are prepared to do when you are 70. So if you can not see yourself on the treadmill at 70, it might be time to rethink the exercise you do like and see yourself doing. I do the treadmill as I see it as another form of walking that is easier on my body. I do prefer to be out and about. I like to look at things and garner ideas from them, but that it limited at the moment.

@trooworld - I am wondering what the catalyst was that made you lose the control that you had. Was it the issued with body pump and once that was no more then everything else was hard? If you can think about what caused it - you may come up with a work around. I know there are family time issues, but your BIL had been sick before and somehow it was different. Are you a visual kind of person where maybe the "trello board" would help, so when you are being so hard on yourself, you can see when you have been.

I have attached a link for everyone. This girl has done the hard yards and is now a WW leader. She is real and down to earth.

Hope this helps

Trish

Good Morning and happy Saturday!

@trooworld, go ahead and laugh at me! I'm ridiculous when it comes to injuring myself. How are you feeling today? Arm? Mood? What is on the menu for this week? I need to figure my menu for next week too.

@theslightedgeforever, Yes! Retraining my mind is a must if I really want to get this weight off. And I do!! I'm like Paul in the Bible when he said "I do not understand what I do. For what I want to do I do not do, but what I hate I do." Then I saw this quote on FB this morning that said, “You will never passively find what you do not actively pursue.” I think I will spend some serious time today meditating on retraining my mind and why I keep sabotaging myself. Thanks for making me think.

@TrishasTime, thanks for that link to Anna's website! Great recipes and such motivating before and after pictures. I'm going to follow her on Pinterest and FB.

@krupalip, my thigh is fine now. Thanks for asking! I had done two days of incline workouts the day before so that might have contributed to it hurting and not just that I was sitting wrong in a chair. But who knows! You have a busy and fun weekend planned. Don't let those fries derail your hard work!


So, last night I had a little women's event at the church. We made handmade Christmas cards. That was super fun! However, I was in charge of the snacks and I did buy some healthy options but of course, I ate too many of the unhealthy options. Woke up this morning to the scale showing a gain. So frustrated with myself. So frustrated with being frustrated! It's time to stop!! I'm going to do what TrishasTime recommended to Trooworld and draw a line and step over it!! I'm going to end up finishing the month with either staying the same or having a gain. That is crap!! I'm going to get that 50 lb charm! Let's do this girls!!

Good morning

@krupalip - Is Monday a public holiday where you are? Would love to see a picture of the kids dressed up for Halloween. We are not doing anything this year. I normally have a huge bowl of treats but it is too tempting for me - so it lights out on this house on 31/10.

@TeresaW1020 - What is the trigger for these foods, is it an association of doing something else at the same time? I know that when I am deeply into changing the back end of a system, I just munch non stop. I still munch non stop but I have healthier options.

@ trooworld - Tendonitis - wow. I have been told that this happens when tendon cross over or pass over bone. Since our tendons connect from one place to another- I can see it running up your elbow to shoulder. If you think, people who have back issues can usually relate it to there hips or knees. It happens when a tendon is weak and everything else has to step up. Can not wait to see you in that sexy dress If the catalyst was your friend, can you not make a goal of being even slimmer when you see her again ?

@cbabie - It is sometimes easier to offload / vent your thoughts by writing them down, for me it kinda clears the head and allows new thoughts to come in. DH retire - well I am glad I am not home full time. He potters around without achieving alot unless I nag him. Bay crying ? Do you have your great grandchild living with you?

It is halfway through the week and I am almost over this cough thing. I have only gone back to tracking yesterday and I actually feel good that I tracked.

GD thinks she has conjunctivitis - so trying to find a doctors surgery open on a Sunday

Catch you later

Trish

Morning everyone

@trooworld - love your pictures - can not wait to see the full dress. What are you going to about the healthy wage thing. Can you withdraw so they are not taking your money?

@theslightedgeforever - You made me smile - do as I say - not as I do - a mother like saying (evil grin)

The pink eye seems to be disappearing of its own accord. Must run
