Ok, so at last night’s Christmas Party, I learned so much.  So, first of all, we wouldn’t be eating until probably 7 or 7:30, and I always have my snickers at 6.  So I still ate my 6pm snickers so I was “on schedule”.  Then at the (buffet) party, I took the tiniest bit of chicken francaise and that’s ALL I put on my plate (there was so much at th…[Read more]

Thank you Jessica <3

Deal!  I’ve been watching the recent chats so it’s nice to “meet” several of you whose progress I’ve followed.  Here I go!

Back again after my birthday and the resulting sidetrack.  155.0 this morning, onward!

Gayle, after your day in the city!!!  Good Job!!!

Thank you ladies

Week 1 results: down 9 lbs

Im so happy!  I was a little concerned about my bite-size with the three food meals I had so yesterday I only did half a snickers for lunch and dinner each, Just for good measure. I was amazed how doable that was. It’s a good tool in the toolbox.

Above that should say not*weighing* until Thursday

I’ll stay on snickers for lunch thereafter. I think I’m looking at at leas…[Read more]

I’m lying on my back staring at my bedroom ceiling while my husband and son are downstairs eating dinner

Day 1 (almost) in the books!

Pia, try deep breathing to slow down your mind when you want to eat.  Sounds “gitchy”, but I find that it can help bring me to my senses.  Also, try journaling–especially when you mess up!  I messed up on Wednesday, and I wrote about how awful I felt.  Bloated, disappointed, and truthfully, I couldn’t even concentrate at work, which shows how muc…[Read more]

Yes, Beth, and finishing strong day #2 post Mother’s Day!  5 bites bacon for lunch, and 5 bites of burger for dinner.  Tea and a book ahead.  (Then lots of housekeeping  )

Yes, Beth, let’s RUN!!!  Every meal is an opportunity to be perfect
