The fun's over! It's time for an Easter (Sunday, March 31) Challenge!

I love this. People who are constantly motivated to be healthy grind my gears, because I wish I was, but I am not.

READY...down 1!

Down four in 2 weeks. I have to keep pushing. This is the first time since January I have gone down twice in a row!!!

Oh, how wonderful for you! Doesn't it feel SO good?!! I'm beginning to remember that feeling...and hoping I can see results like that again..Congratulations!!!! And thank you for the kick in the you-know-what!!

I am not there in my mind yet. I am still waiting for it ( the anger/motivation ) to hit me, so I have not stepped on the scale as I know it will cause me to faint and fall right into the freezer with the ice cream cone treats!! I need be here on this thread amongst all of your wonderful thoughts, successes, setbacks and suggestions as I know when I do get serious again, I will want to come and post and boast.
Confession time: it has been kind of free-ing mentally not having to plan and prepare every meal, but instead just grabbing whatever I feel like to eat. I think it is how my family would eat all the time, if I did not execute these healthier changes.

We are off to Parc Safari today, glad we can bring our own food , I packed nothing sinful!!! Hopefully we can avoid the concession stands.

Did I mention Kevin has now joined me for 2 green smoothies a day!! YAY! He has never had an ounce of fat on him his whole life I am so happy. Last year at school they had trainers come in and he started doing weights, he loved it and is continuing at home with my weights but now wants to move on to a gym membership. I am getting him a tryout 3 months $99.

I think the day Kiera asks me for a smoothie I may faint. She is getting into it more now also. The garden is helping. She tries everything although doesn't like cucumbers. She eats the lettuce every day and loves the sunflower sprouts also. Slowly, slowly.

[Granger]

We CAN do this. One choice at a time. It is not saying yes to the treat once in a while that is killing us, it is saying yes and yes over again and becoming addicted. Remember friends even one, NO, is a success to celebrate.

The fact that we are all here trying is success enough. Being aware and trying is half the battle.

Friday I did 2 tuna salad sandwiches, a few coffees and water of course....oh yes and my tomatoe cucumber salad. Did a 5 km hike and drank 7 Mikes Hard Limes.

Today I had an egg salad, my salad and i had a garden pita from pita pit. I did about 10 km of walking and canoed for an hour. I have had 4 Mikes Limes.

Hopefully that is it for the night, my a$$ is spent!

Last night I had a rehearsal to conduct, two weddings today, and a meeting tomorrow morning...I'll be quiet happy when wedding season is ovah! DD and her DH had us over for a steak BBQ this evening, along with grilled cut up veggies, nothing sinful and it was lovely! I only had one drink: Strawberry crystal lite (I never drink the stuff), with raspberry (strawberry?) vodka...it was yummy! However I was too exhausted to drink wine and also too thirsty, so I stuck to diet pop. Not the best, but better than wine this evening. Just got home.

Walks, I'm exactly where you are. I don't want to go onto the scale until I feel like I've lost at least most of the weight I gained over this summer, and mentally I'm not in diet-mode right now, but I know I'll be ready when that urge hits again. And it'll be soon....

Have a great Sunday, everyone!!!

Hope everyone had a great Sunday.

Yesterday I had a half egg salad sandwich and a veggie pita, plus I munched on some potatoe wedges, as well as my coffee and water.

I am quite pleased with how the past 2 weeks have been going for me. I could ally feel a difference in my clothes yesterday and my thighs are toning up from all the walking and bicycling....now to find a Way to work on my arms, butt and stomach.

Keep up the great work everyone!

Congratulations. Planks, pushups, situps, crunches, squats are some of the exercises you could do to work on those areas.

Yesterday I had an egg salad sandwich, tomatoe sandwich, 3 potatoe wedges with cheese and bacon and sour cream, a handful of baby carrots and one coffee. No added exercise, just my usual running around.

After the last few days I am so proud of myself. With all of the stress and BS, I am continuing to not turn to a bag of cookies or ice cream.
I have some free time today, so I am going to go for a hike or something shortly. ALONE.
