just checkin in folks....
my wish is for those of us struggling right now to focus on the 'what' and 'why'.....and try to only eat for nutriton and energy, NOT for feelings. tough i know....sharing it all with ya peppers... well i bought the 30 day shred today. maybe that will get me moving again. i want to be feeling a little lighter, toner and un-sluggish by the holidays. do you guys all know how that feels?? i know you have all experienced how good it feels when you are eating healthy and exercising.....just plan your day to do what is needed to help you feel that way...baby steps here and we'll be off and running in no time!. nothing can hold you back from what you really want when it comes to your health....it's our choice. we decide. ok, just a lil pep talk here for ya.....thinkin of ya all and i just want to help anyone who is having a hard time.....while trying to help myself too.

I read something a while back (could have been on our thread for all I know) about how any emotional satisfaction you get from food will be gotten in the first 3 bites. You can continue eating after that, but you will be no happier after 4, 5, or 6 bites (or the entire slice of cake!!) than you were after 3. I guess I'm an emotional eater. I eat when I'm bored, and I think boredoom is an emotion, right? So, I'm trying to take that to heart. If I find myself just really wanting to have some of DH's cheddar and sour cream Ruffles, I have just 3 and then I stop. I know if I really want more, they are still there. But I'm finding that most of the time those 3 chips are enough. I know my ultimate goal is to get past eating when I'm bored, but like Kelly said, baby steps. I'll be happy for now if I can change those 500-600 calorie binges into 3 little chips.0 -
I agree w/the emotional eating. I am one of those. I noticed I will overeat when I'm happy, excited, sad or upset.
So.... now what... how do we conquer this?
My adventure today. A classmate told me she would show me where the post office was located. Again, I'm walking around the DC area in those heels and let me add rain. The problem was she had the wrong location thus we're walking around the city even more.
I did make it to the Curves again today.
Let's try again on Thursday.

Crystal - I read the same thing about the 3 bites. I had forgotten about that until you reminded me. I am going to have to try that instead of eating 4 servings of chocolate animal crackers. I am excited you had a date night. I don't even remember the last time my hubby and I had a date.
Whitneyh29 - welcome!

It seems Crystal got a date w/hubby and the rest of us may be thinking "How come xxx and I don't do that" or "I can't recall the last time xxx and I did that."
So I propose the next challenge be a "DATE" with our significant other. :smooched:
If your significant other isn't available due to military deployment or away on business trip, then I suggest the date be with a family member, co-worker, girlfriend, classmate, or guy friend. Just please don't pick up some random person.
The date can be anything.... a meal, a walk to see Christmas lights, bowling, bike ride, etc etc.
Anyone game for this idea? :bigsmile:

Hey all sorry that I have been missing, they have been working on our power, and it has been out:;( not fun at all.. anyhow I went jogging/walking/hiking/running on the becah today...2 miles worth!!!! WOW and then I went bowling tonight an hour worth:) I wont tell you what I ate there but that is what i did!
Aunt flow and her ugly face are here and she is hurting my body all over the place like i am a youn girl:( I am not happy with that, so i am getting out and hurting her right back by exercising!
Barb` you are totally right, if i saw taht woman it would give me a huge kick in the butt reality style!
Jacque~ i have holiday issues ( I am very ba-hum-bug) I hate christmas! I do it for teh kids and that is all taht matters, but I hate to decorate. So i am an anti-holiday eater! which means I eat not because it is the stressfull time of year but because i cant stand the christmas junk all around LOL sorry if that is a killjoy to anyone, ts been that way for years, Id like to say that it is getting better, but i dont believe so. ;(
It is never too late to jump on this wagon, we have been there before, and lord knows we will be there again! as long as we have good friends by our sides pulling us up by the coller we will win this battle:)
I heart you all0 -
Barb love the date idea, and the not picking up a random person
lol 0 -
WELCOME Whitney! Thrilled to have another SHGP here! Weigh in's Friday's and I will message you too!
Crystal ~ yes, I agree 110% on 3 bites, lol not 3 servings, altho I am guilty on that one, even a double! i find too that when i make too many restrictions, i will cave and binge. so, why not have my fav's in moderation! just to satisfy my taste buds!
Barb ~ love LOVE the date challenge! dh is on vacation starting this Saturday, and he takes it every yr to deer hunt, but what a great idea! the next time i go to DC i am gonna ask you for all the details of what and where :bigsmile:
Miss v ~ nice workout girl! sounds like you are doing well with takin out Aunt Flow! seems like i have better ( less painful, symptom free ) months than others...anyone master this yet? well, i am a holiday lover....and crazy as it seems i wish the season was celebrated longer, or maybe just the * spirit * spread throughout the year more.... i was thinkin of makin little "goodie" plates for my bus kids this year to share with their families. now, that will require a lot of work, but i think it would be fun too. my dh doesn't really care for xmas, but he survives. he shops all year long for his toys, so i dont worry too much bout him. and i could really do away with all the gift buying, money spent. i love to just be around family and friends...time, time, time, just can't get enough of them special memories...
well, i am feeling pretty good here today. have lots to do...clean my bus, do laundry, workout and wrestling trip tonite...gotta plan supper for everyone too. have a good one and i will try to check in before i bus the wrestlers.0 -
Morning Ya all!!
Wow thanks for all the feedback ya all!! I love you guys so much:smooched:
Had a good night last night. Walk the mile and half to my car and felt good after. Did nothing but gab all night. Was totally a bum. didnt even watch tv. So it was a good night
Kel-I think you are gonna like the shred, I have and like it, it very aggressive and the first time I did it I cryed after, it really get you endorpines going. So along with the date challange how about we do the 30 day challage together. I havent used it and really think I want to try again.
Miss V- I am so there with u about the christmas thing. Growing up with family that makes Christmas so out of control and an Ex that made Christmas misrable I have no desire to celebrate most of the time. Like you I do it for the kids. If I didnt have kids I probably never even own a tree. And I relly do believe the streess of it gets to me too. Whats weird is I have no problem watching other people love it I just don't get it.
Whitney-WELCOME:drinker: :bigsmile: We are a pretty cool group, some of us have been together for a while, some are new but we have a good bond! We really are like family and I brag about my friends here to my friends and family at home. So feel free to join the family, I think you will love it!!
Barb-you are too funny!!:laugh: Like the date idea, I kinda had that last night with mom and dad and It made it a great night!!
Crystal and Angie- I never heard of the 3 bite thing, so glad you guys brought it up I am so gonna try that. I really think that would help me alot!!
Well got to get back to work. Later:glasses:0 -
ok, just takin a lil break...actually trying to cool off and get my heart rate down after having Jillian kick my butt. geez, this is gonna be a challenge alone for me. i did my walk/jog outdoor first and loved it. was a little windy, 29* and light flurries. our first for this winter. burned 308 calories..... so i was excited to do my first day of Jillian's shred. i did ok, but the jumping jacks kinda did me in. floppin all over the living room it felt like. need to invest in a better contraption for the girls i guess. anyway, that added 235 more calories to the burning fire. after all the crap i had yesterday and an upset tummy for part of the nite ( along with some anxiety ) my tummy is feeling kinda eeewwwish right now.... will keep it light for a while. my muscles aren't sore, but they feel like they are humming or vibrating...weird. so, got my breath back now and onto the laundry. Jacque ~ yes, plz join me! i would love to have someone with me, anyone else too!0

Yay ~ I am so excited Jacque!! thanks for doing this with me!! :bigsmile:0 -
Barb - I love the date night for our challenge. My mood is still on the down side so maybe a date with my hubby will help. Exercising is not working very well. I have exercised 630 minutes in 4 days and still feel blue.
What is the shed?
Have a great evening ladies! 0 -
