I have the Eat-Clean Diet Book, which describes what eating clean involves and I have the cookbook. But I am asking about the Workout book. Do you have that one also? Someone told me that you have to have access to commercial equipment, like at a gym. I just want to workout at home and don't have commercial equipment.

Great Job!!

Good Luck! Let me know how it goes, I'll be thinking about you.

It doesn't say. I am going to eat a cup and count that as a serving. Sorry that's not much help.

I just finished Day 1 Week 5. I tell you what, I never thought I would get this far. I am really proud. On day 3 of this week I am supposed to jog/run 20 straight minutes. My thought is, "Yikes, I don't know if I can do that." But everytime I have that thought, I prove I can do it. Now I can actually see the goal in sight,…

Hang in there, pretty soon it will come natural. You'll learn what to eat without much thought. Things will get easier. Just think of the rewards, you have lost 8 lbs that's an avg of 2 per week. That's really good. And think of non scale rewards-how you feel, improving your health, sense of accomplishment, etc. Keep up…

Thanks, guess I didn't think of that.

Hey there! I just want to say as your big sis that you can do this!!! You've done it before and you looked and felt great! I know you're circumstances are different but you'll find a way for it to work for you. You deserve to feel good about yourself and to be/feel healthy. I know it seems daunting and it may not seem like…

Yes, YUM!:tongue:

This past weekend, Thurs-Sun we were out of town with friends and they (instigated by my DH) ate obscene amounts of candy and junk. And I did not even have one piece of candy or one bite of junk. I stuck with the food I packed and avoided the sick feeling they all had and the guilt I know I would've had if I had given in.…

Goldk-Thanks for posting the link on yesterdays thread. I was running an errand for work and realized I had forgotten. But you took care of it-Thanks! Why is it so hard to get in the groove of things after you've been gone a couple days. Maybe I'll finally feel "with it" tomorrow.:smile:

Great to have you!:flowerforyou:

You sure can! Welcome!:flowerforyou:

Did you stay within you nutritional goals? Didn't really have a way to track things. I was at a bible convention Fri, Sat, Sun. Did I reach yesterday's personal goal? Yes, my goal for the whole weekend was to not have caffeine, sugary sweets, fast food. I passed up rolls at our continental breakfast. I went to the coffee…

I am supposed to be posting the link for the new day on the previous day, so you can go to "My Topics" and get the link from the previous post. I forgot to do it today, sorry. Will that help you find it though if it's done that way?

THANKS!!

Actually it was. We are going out of town & I stayed up til midnight packing and getting ready. My DH works out of town from Mon-Thurs afternoon every week, so I had to pack his stuff too. I normally start work (for our family owned business) at 7am. But couldn't handle it this morning. I got up an hour later, finished…

goldk-Despite posting that you went over, it seems like you had a good day yesterday. Keep up the good work. Anne4251-Even with going over, it's great you exercised despite the lack of desire and you steered clear of the cookies. It's little steps that make us successful. lulabellewoowoo-Great job on the time of your…

Welcome coolviolet73! Its great to have you joining us. Great job at burning 500 cal. I love your line about burning calories and how those calories will never be on your body again. Great way to look at it.

So, I just got this book in the mail today and had it read in 2.5 hours! I highly recommend it for anyone that is doing all the right things and not losing. Anyone that knows me on this site knows I have really been struggling. I have been counting calories, exercising, drinking water...the whole nine yards since January…

Thanks for the words of encouragement. Knowing all of you would be looking for the post made me finially do it. At first I didn't even care about posting, I figured someone else would start it today. But it's good to know people are counting on me. Well I guess I am going to vent a little, I will apologize ahead of time. I…
