Move More in May
I like this idea for a thread title Donna... now that the weather is warming up and it is lighter longer in the evenings I hope I'll get some enthusiasm going for being more active. Work to do tonight. And laundry. Going out with my brother tomorrow evening for a drink so I'll be a little off plan, but after that I don't…

Nutritarian November
Not too creative a title, sorry. I was trying to think of something better, since we always do Nutritarian New Year in January... but brain won't help me. Picking up from the last posts in the October thread. Thanks for the reminder Carla, I would have totally forgotten to start a new thread too. I’m all about the spicy…

Junk-Free July
Thanks for coming up with a thread title Carla. I am looking forward to a full on ETL July. The first week of the 6 week plan went really well. I think simplifying things, having lots of food prepped and ready to go, made it so much easier than it has been in the past. I really feel like I can do the whole 6 weeks. I am…

Dr. Joel it in June
Good grief, here we are on June 3rd and I totally forgot we should be making a new thread. The months go by so fast! Lame thread title, sorry. I am going to get back to regular exercise this month. NO EXCUSES! Even if it is just half an hour a day on the treadmill, I'll get it done. Diet-wise I'm cool with what I've been…

May the Fuhrman Force Be With Us
Okay totally silly thread title for May. Goals for this month, stick to my new Engine 2 seven day rescue diet thing, because it is working. Totally believe in Dr. F and his guidelines, but right now I seem to be sticking much better allowing more grains so I suppose someone is welcome to depose me as leader of this…

March (Stop the) Madness
I couldn't think of anything better for a title! I don't think many of us are truly mad, but we might be verging now and again lol. Who was that bald gal who did the Stop the Madness thing, she was a big fitness/diet person way back. 80's maybe? Anyway, I am working on doing a strict 6 week plan style of diet for the next…

Nutritarian New Year!
Figured I'd go with the traditional New Year thread title. I am definitely getting back on track this month, the past couple months haven't been good. Stress eating and no exercise and it definitely shows in how tight my clothes are fitting, my general lack of energy, etc. I keep reminding myself how great I feel when I am…

Jingle Joel December
Hi y’all… I am SO sorry was such a bad ETL’er in November. Work is just getting more and more overwhelming. I was even working here at home on Thanksgiving day for heaven’s sake, and in the office all three days over the holiday weekend. This really can’t go on much longer. I have put on an alarming amount of weight over…

Nutritarian November
I was tempted by Carla's suggestion of Nutty November, but went with her first suggestion. Soooooo have to get back on track this month. The holidays are coming with all the extra food and parties and alcohol and all that, and if I don't knock off a few pounds before all that starts I'm really going to be in sad shape come…

Let's be Sensible in September
Thanks Karrie, good idea for a thread title. I like it! Sounds like your director needs you and wants you back full time. That's a compliment to your skills. I have often said I have spent my entire career making myself indispensable to my employers, and now all I want is for them to dispense with me now and then. So,…

Focus on Your Actions in August
This is probably my favorite line in ETL... Focus on Your Actions, the Results Will Follow. I tend to forget this a lot of the time, and I get bogged down in my results (or lack thereof) and I don't stick to the plan and give it time to work. So I think having this for a title will be a good way to keep it in my mind for…

Eat to Live like Joel in July
I think this might be what last year's July title was? It works though. Carla, catching up from your last June post, I haven't tried the Amy's veggie burgers. Are they good? I like a good veggie burger now and then. I usually buy the Boca brand or occasionally Luna Burgers. I make black bean burgers sometimes, Peas and…

Make it Happen May
Thanks for the great suggestion for the May thread title Carla! I also hope that your house sale will happen this month. Anyone reading this new to the group, we just have a monthly thread to make it easy for everyone to check in and keep up with each other, and you are welcome to join in, or to start new threads. You…

Apple a Day April
Hey y'all... best title I could come up with sitting here with a stuffy head and sore throat. My boss actually told me to stay home, that never happens, I think he was tired of me coughing and sneezing all over the office the past 2 days lol. Looking forward to a good ETL month here... the weather is warming up, which…

Fitness in February
Thanks for the suggestion Carla, I like Fitness in February, especially since I tend to be more slug-like in the cold, dark months. Time to get moving on the new treadmill and see if I can’t walk off a few pounds. I admit that I struggled a lot in January after the first couple of weeks. I’m pretty sure that this is…

January ETL - Nutritarian New Year!
Hey all, I don't know about you but I'm glad the holidays are nearly over and I can get back into my routine. I have pretty simple goals for this month, going to start the 6 week plan on the 2nd, and stick with it the whole 6 weeks. No excuses, no well just this one time lapses. I never lapse just one time lol. I am still…

Super Salad September!
It's a new month starting, and we're on the countdown now to the holiday season. I saw Halloween displays at the grocery the end of July. Really retailers? July is time to start prepping for Halloween? Ugh! Thanks, Lia, for the inspiration for the September thread title, and let me be the first to wish you a Happy…

August ETL
Hey y'all, couldn't come up with a clever title for August sorry. I just wanted to get it started before I head to the office. Really need to do some catching up this weekend. I am hopelessly behind. I'm starting the 6 week plan today. I need to stop at the grocery for a few things but I think I'm pretty well set. The…

ETL Like Joel in July
Are we allowed to call him Joel and not Dr. Furhman? ;) I don't care, I'm trying to stick with that alliterative theme we've had forever now so Joel will have to forgive us, no disrespect intended. I've been doing fine as far as diet, exercise is a total bust. Work is really consuming my life lately. I am taking Friday…

Jumpin' Jack June!
I couldn't help it. I couldn't think of anything better lol. As I mentioned in the end of the May thread, I know several people who went to the Stones concert last night and Jumpin' Jack June is stuck in my head now! Goals for the month: keep on keepin' on. I'm doing much better as far as consistency, still working out…

Active in April
Thanks for the topic title idea Lia. My brain is mush lately! Where did March go? Work is still nuts. Maybe, just maybe, after the 15th things will settle down a little bit. I'm doing pretty well food-wise, sticking with my no snacks rule which is helping to keep my calories steady and leaves me more room to eat a good…

February ETL - Food and Fitness
Hey y'all, couldn't really come up with a great title for February and then I thought about what I wanted to focus on this month, and I thought fitness and eating more closely ETL. So food and fitness it is. All are welcome to join in the monthly thread at any time. :) My main goal for this month is making time for…

January ETL - Nutritarian New Year!
Thought I'd go ahead and kick off the January thread before I go to bed. It is getting close to midnight and I may as well stay up now. I usually don't make it to midnight. I went to my brother's earlier and we watched a movie and I made the OSG Tex Mex Casserole which he liked. I am so geared up for a fresh start in…

waiting for my book
Hello Everyone... just looked up this group as I ordered my copy of new rules and should have it Tuesday. I also ordered starting strength. I only have dumbbells here at home and I recently joined a gym but it is women only and I haven't seen anyone doing any sort of heavy lifting there (the one barbell appears not to have…
