Hi Lisa, im still a bit young so many of you may not think i know much, but i do about this sort of thing. IF you keep doing theese things, maybe it means you don't want it enough, maybe you dont want your goal? keep something as a motive, write it on the wall, write it on your steering wheel, hell, write it on your toilet seat. You'll pick up a peice of chocolate and then see your goal, and hopefully dump the chocolate in ur bin.

Good luck, and great work with the other stuff, my dog is lucky to get walked once a month by me, but i do lots of other exercise. :)
 
thanks Lloydy....I wouldn't ignore your advice, just because you are younger than I am...:)...it might be a good idea to put the notes everywhere...I picked up that idea from cutiepie, with the reward if I don't eat sweets, but so far nothing has ended up in the jar. I have to admit that currently I am working on the last of my private stash...My parents came for a visit this May and I still have a little bit of what they brought left, which in itself doesn't sound so bad, considering it is October...that's 5 month...yea they brought a lot, but still...

Anyway...maybe you are right with the fact that it is not important enough for me to leave the sweets. I have to say that I had reached my goal weight back in July...After holding the weight for a few weeks, I got more lenient towards the goodies again and I haven't controlled my weight. I guess I'm in the mode..I can if I want to but right now I don't. The fact that I am keeping my diary here is that I don't want to let myself go completely and you guys are helping me with this a lot.

I still want to become more active and I know that my diet needs some tweaking again and I am slowly getting to the point where I think I can do it, without feeling that I am losing out.

Oh and one more thing lloydy...I just had two pieces of chocolate and then I decided to go into my diary and there I read your post...i feel so bad right now that I ate those two pieces....haven't felt like that in a long time so I guess...you did it - I am getting there. Thank you!!!

Yesterday I broke down after approx. 1.5hrs:(

I'll update later....
 
Wats chocolate? I didnt even eat that much as a young'un. :p MAybe even think like this, Everyday peice of chocolate u eat, +1 more day u gotta wait for results :p?

Also, if u haven't already, pick up some wholewheat bread, and LOW fat lunch meats, salami is just fat lol.

Try get some lite turkey breast, chicken breast, The rest looks cool, except maybe your not getting enough water intake.

I heard when urine is Crystal clear, thats when you've had enough and all the unwanted chems in your body is let out and helps your metab.
 
wow - haven't been here in a while....so busy...

Thanks Lloydy for the tips...I try to drink a lot of water, but it doesn't always work. The weekends are usually worse:(

As for the chocolates - I stayed strong until yesterday...Considering that Monday was a holiday I lasted 3 days...but that's only chocolate...they had cookies in the office the other day and I couldn't resist:mad:

So - no coins for me, cause this doesn't count...where is my will-power?????:confused: I used to be much better at this, somehow I have to find the right way again. For the longest time I wasn't even interested in all that junk food, now ...different story!

Over the long weekend at home I didn't eat any chocolate, but the food I ate wasn't the best and I had dessert quite often. Oh well...new week. My private stash has dwindeled to one single piece of chocolate (i shared with the family) and I am not going to buy any in the near future.

I'll start with yesterday...

oh - i forgot....i receive a fitness newsletter (hahaha) and they suggested a way to exercise for the time-starved, so now I am getting one exercise e-mailed to me everyday that I am supposed to do as often as possible throughout the day. It's apparently not the ideal, perfect way, but it helps stay fit and is better than nothing. I'll try and see how far I get with this:) I'll keep you posted.
 
so far 'zip' on the exercise front - besides the usual dog walks. I could say it's because the letter doesn't come on a daily basis yet, but that's not true..even when I get it, I don't do the exercise:(

As for my eating...it has been a week again since I posted, but I have been relatively steady, no major sins, only the small ones.

Yesterday and today my mid-morning snack was bad:eek: yesterday a piece of apple cake and a muffin and today to medium cinnamon rolls. It tasted good, but that's about it...not much nutrition, at least not in the cinnamon rolls.

The rest is ok....I broke down and got a package of Halloween Treats, but I want to make them last really long...wish me luck

Lisa--

Girl, you gotta get more veg in there! The lowest recommendation is 5+ servings daily of fruit and veg (at least 3 veg and preferably 2 fruit), but the newest recomendations (not even officially released yet) are cranking that up to 7-11 servings. Trust me, raw or cooked, fresh, frozen, or canned, veg are your friends.
 
HI RetroGirl,

thanks very much for the tip. You're right, veggies is the thing I always forget. When I pack my lunch I always have fruit, snack bars and a sandwich or the likes, but I always forget the veggies:(

the rest of my diet isn't all that great lately either. I try to stay with the healthy stuff, but those sweet treats constantly weasle their way in.
