HHHEEEEELLLLPPPP!!!
I fell off the wagon....then I chased it down and ATE IT!!! I had some family issues and disappeared for a while. I kept my weight under control for a good part of that time, but I've recently lost all control. Now I've lost about a month. I havent weighed myself and not sure if I want to right now. I just tried to work…

Hey Purples
Hey guys. Sorry I've been MIA. We're having some major family issues right now. I'm still losing weight, but I'm afraid it's more from stress than exercise. I know I missed some weigh ins, but I'm trying to get back to normal life now. I'll try to be in touch more.

OMG My body's seeking revenge!
I had the day off today so my husband said "let's go get some breakfast"..... BIG MISTAKE! I didn't even eat anywhere near what I would have before, but I guess the grease they cook with or something just didn't agree with me. Now I'm paying for my momentary lapse in judgement.

I hit the wall
I've been doing so great and then I woke up this morning completely exhausted. I half-@$$ed it on the bike, barely burning anything. Now I'm at work and I have no idea where the energy is gonna come from to do my workout tonight. This is the first time I've felt like this since starting my weight loss. I know I'm not…

Out of the Mouths of Babes
My 4 yr old just informed me that she doesn't like me working out. She said she doesn't want me to get "normal" because if I'm not fluffy anymore she won't be able to climb all over me. Awww how sweeeeet! :huh:

Portion Control Paying Off
I've noticed that portion control is finally starting to kick in. I'm eating 4 small meals a day, nothing past 7PM. Doing it this way has really helped me not gorge myself, because I know something else is just around the corner. I'm also trying many different foods during the day instead of the same old thing. The other…

Good Morning Purples
Well I didn't get up this morning for my workout. That cold/flu I was getting yesterday really kicked in last night. I went to bed early with a bad headache. So I didn't bother to set the alarm for early. Then to top it off, my mom got us Krispy Kreme donuts.....now, I was fine with the brownies yesterday, but there's no…

BROWNIES!
One of the women in the office made brownies and they smell soooo good. I haven't had one and I feel strong enough not to do it. Besides, this flu is starting to kick my butt, so I don't think brownies will sit well anyway......at least that's what I'm telling myself.

Recession
With people having such a hard time these days it's great to get a pick me up from the company VP. Check this out.....the last line of his pep talk email to the whole company.... As I stated at the beginning of the year – we choose not to participate in the recession!

Purple Thursday!!!! GO PURPLE!!!
Well, my bike tried to kill me last night....about 35 min into my workout! Tried to throw me off....or I may have thrown myself off...minor details. Anyhoo, I landed in the ER with a fractured wrist and a cool splint that my husband swears makes me look like Darth Vader. But I still got up this morning and got back on that…

Food Diary Settings
I changed my Food Diary to track foods by hour, like 6am-9am. Just in the past few days I've been able to see my pattern and it's really helping me keep on top of things. I think this is a great way to track when I get my salt cravings and when I should drink the most water.

Goodbye 200!!!!
When I started this, I didn't know that I even weighed over 200. My mind stopped at 199. So when I started the BL challenge, I was shocked to see 208. So now, 20 days after starting this, I am now at the 199 I thought I was. I'm so glad I'm back in the 1's, but it's kinda depressing that I had to work so hard for almost 3…

Stupid Desk Job!!
How many of u sit behind a desk most of the day? I do. So right about now, all my energy has drained. I don't know how I'm gonna make it home to do my workout. I don't want to drink coffee in the afternoon but I don't have any other solutions right now.

Never Thought I'd Think This But......
I actually want water! Can you believe it? I always hated water and craved Pepsi. But just a few minutes ago the thought crossed my mind...."Man I could go for some water right now." Crazy crazy stuff.

Quirks
I was just in the break room nuking my stuff. One of my coworkers started messing with me because I don't like my food to touch. Made me wonder if I was the only one. I thought it was perfectly normal.

Friend Crash Dieting
My friend at work saw me starting to get healthier so she's back on her diet. The only problem is she's doing what I would consider a "Crash" diet. She's not counting calories, she's counting fat and salt. That's no problem. But she's barely eating anything at all....like half the daily allotment of each. Very small…

It's Past 7 and I still have 500 Calories....
I guess the title says it all. Do I eat them or not? I'm not hungry but I'm about to do a major round of exercise....so I'll be way under calories today if I don't eat.

Caffeine before working out....
I drink a cup of coffee about 20 min before I work out. Gives me that extra something to keep going. My friend said that's not good cuz ur just working off the caffeine. But I figure if it keeps me on the bike longer, or running that extra lap, I'm at least sweating more than I would have without it. What do you guys do?
