Welcome to the program! Good job getting through a rough day.

Keep up the great work. Enjoy that coffee and the rest of this beautiful weekend!

Waking up on on day 6 of my 49 day bar challenge with no hunger this morning. Yay!!! 

Should be smooth sailing through the rest of the weekend. Excited to weigh in tomorrow.

Bar Challenge Day 5 of 49

I did it! I had a moment this evening though, where I was thinking of what I was going to make my son for dinner, and almost ordered take out for us both. I was tired, hungry and mentally fatigued. I think what saved me was pausing to think about how I would feel the next day.  And decided it wasn’t worth it. I…[Read more]

I think today is gonna be a rough and long one. It is 4:30 am. I can’t get back to sleep. My stomach is rumbling and the hunger level is high.   

If I can get through another bars only day today, it might be my turning point towards success.  Challenge accepted.

Yay for 3 day weekends! I have been sticking to my bars. Holding off on weighing myself again until Monday morning. Excited to see the numbers! Fingers crossed 🤞 for 159. That time of month hit, so a little nervous – I retain like crazy.

Loving this freedom of not planning meals right now. Allows me extra time for yoga, podcasts and learning…

Keep it up! You’ve got this.

Thanks Beth and Less! I think I finally found my groove.

Bar Challenge, Day 2/49

Perfect bar day yesterday. Another 2 pounds gone this morning!  Yesterday’s bar meals were Luna Carmel Walnut Brownie, and Luna Sea Salt Carmel.  I love these bars because they aren’t too sweet like the snickers are. So this should allow me to stick to my bar challenge.  Seeing these numbers has me totally excited, and mo…[Read more]

Shelly I am so sorry you are having a difficult time. Sounds like a bit of depression and confidence issues mixed in as well. At my lowest emotional moods, I use the following things to help boost me up. Sharing with you in the event you might find them helpful. First, I printed out weightloss inspirational photos/quotes from Pinterest and taped…[Read more]

Perfect bar day yesterday. I am eating non-dairy and gluten free Luna and Kind bars (since I am aware of a digestive sensitivity I have to both of those ingredients). Weight is down to 166 this morning. I like the downward movement. 

My mini-goal this week is to be down to 159 by next Monday.

I decided I am not ready for regular food. I spiraled. And am back at 168 this morning. So I am starting a bar challenge. I would like to get to 7 weeks (49 days) of bars only. No more fiddling around with this nonsense. I can’t keep putting my project  on hold. In project management terms, I am crashing the schedule to make my goal a reality. 

Had my date at the baseball game last night. Ate my 5bd meals beforehand. Didn’t eat anything at the game! I did have two glasses of wine though. Overall, a pretty great night.  For breakfast this morning I sipped on hot tea, then for lunch had 5bites of some vegan chili. Probably having a Payday bar for dinner.

Yesterday was 5 bites of fish for both lunch and dinner. It tasted amazing, and was exactly what I was craving.

Bummer!  We missed you for sure!  It was a good chat.  We talked about momentum and staying motivated, so check out the recording when you have time.  It may help you as well.

Danica – the chat lets you join as long as the call is still going.  I will be in the chat tonight, and I look forward to seeing you!

Perfect days, perfect Days! 

I undid the damage from the last few weeks.  Weighed in at 161 today, down from Thursday’s 165.  Today I had snickers for lunch, and for dinner 5 bites of macaroni and cheese that I had made for my son (as a special treat for him).

It felt so good! I also threw away a bunch of other tempting food, including the cheese. Other than my son’s food, I only kept bars and eggs on hand. I can always replace it once I hit goal. Throwing it away was a good investment. It wasn’t garbage food, since we don’t keep that stuff around ever. But it was tempting healthy food that I know I am…[Read more]

I weighed in this morning just to validate where I am after 2 weeks off! 😬

Decided it was best to be brave and see where I am at, so I know on Sunday if I am making good progress. Up to 165, from 161 on the day of my last weigh-in. Not too bad of a gain. Thought it was going to be much worse.

Today, I had a snickers for lunch, and 5bites of…[Read more]
