Activity

Sigh – I should have expected the insomnia. Every time I diet I have a hard time sleeping. I don’t have hunger pains, I’m just too mentally alert. No resting or digesting here! For now I will embrace the extra energy, knowing that it is temporary, and hope that I can get some extra work done.

Anyways! Back to work today. I had 1 bite of a Cos…[Read more]

I absolutely love that story, SJ!  And I love your frame of mind.  You are going to do very, very well, very, very quickly!!!  I just know it!!

Thanks for the encouragement, Allison! You are so sweet. Rooting for you also!

DAY 1 COMPLETE!

Today I surprisingly didn’t think about food at all. This morning I had a zero-sugar energy drink and then stayed busy doing chores and running errands. Right when I got home, my partner asked if I wanted to play golf with him and his friends. I…[Read more]

I am planning to be there tonight. I am on a roll with a modified pattern I discussed with Dr. Lewis.  I am feeling great!  I am looking forward to the discussion tonight!  I have reviewed many archived chats and gotten so much inspiration from you and others!

How are you??

what’s your plan?

will you be on the call tonight? I will be there.

Thx Allison.

So sorry for your loss Gayle.  That is a big life changing situation. My heart goes out to you.

And congrats on your upcoming nuptials!  That is great motivation!

Allison

Yah! I look forward to “meeting” you Gayle!  I plan to be there.  I have made lemonade out of lemons this week!  I will share more on zoom!

You’re right Dr. Lewis. FAST & FURIOUS will be my mantra!!

I’m coming back!! I really need to shed these 10 pounds. I have been chasing my tail again rather than just committing to what I know works.

Allison – I will be on the CHAT MONDAY!! Committing NOW!

Stay strong !!

Gayle

Great, GREAT job, Allison!!  I can’t wait for Monday!!!
