Well today makes 5 days of compliance! It's been a long time since I have been able to go that long!

Meanwhile, I have either a chest cold or allergies. I have been coughing, and my chest feels tight- when I lay down, especially at night, I feel like I am having a hard time breathing. It causes me to freak out and have a panic attack. When I wake in the morning, I can breathe better but my throat is sore and covered in phlegm. Gross.

Sorry to hear that you're sick. After being sick all last week, the cold I had left me with a nice inner ear infection. But being sick won't last long and by the time you feel better you'll be even skinnier!

Hope you have a good week :)

Thank you guys! I AM going to do it this time! I am sick AND got TOM a day early and STILL will not cheat! I have to be good!

I have to try to avoid the scale too- I know that is ALWAYS my downfall. If I do not lose or gain slightly, I freak out. I need to find the strength to not weigh in every day.

Beth, you stick to program and you'll be close to 130 by the 4th of July....if not less. You'll be so close to goal or AT goal by then. You can do this! You ARE doing it!!

That's what we like to hear. Sorry you aren't feeling well, I know how that is (just got over something myself). Good job on 5 days, here is to 6, and 7, and 8, and ........ ;)

Keep up the great work and get well soon.

re:
I have to be good


Just a comment here...I recently had a conversation with a friend who struggles with flabber, too. She talked about 'being good' and equated it with following the program. MHO...what we eat or don't eat does not make us 'good.' There truly are no 'good' and 'bad' foods.

If our goal is to reach our healthiest best in terms of energy levels to match the desires of our day, a healthy weight that produces efficient walking/movement/better quality of life with fewer disease issues and longer life, adequate fitness level, best self-esteem, then making health-giving food & activity levels should be our goal. Thus choosing to stick to and follow the meal plan with proven results is a way for us to create our health. Selecting our goal and then going for it means we have made a decision about how we will live for the day. Our goal to weigh a certain amount = how we will live. It (following the plan) then has less of a negative connotation.

Our decision can be moment to moment, hourly, daily, weekly, etc.

When we truly mean it – really, really want it super bad, then we will do the things it takes to get there no matter how great the pizza smells or how wonderful the bread looks; we will choose the healthy way over the impulse of the moment.

You are already good, Dark & Stormy.

You are making progress toward your goal of 130 pounds by July 4th and you are improving your physical and mental health at the same time.

Get well. Hope that throat snottage goes away soon and you are feeling happy and proud of the good progress you’ve made!

My home gym is getting installed as we speak! I am so excited to start using the equipment! We already have an exercise bike and a weight bag dummy. Here is what I am getting today:

We have one of those like the in the first pic. It's a great place to hang wet towels from the hot tub! I don't know what else it's good for though.

I've got a universal gym set up in our attic (huge attic) along with a Nordic trac, a treadmill, an elliptical machine and I think there is some type of ab machine still up there (one of those trendy infomercial machines to whittle your abs--my mother bought that one and passed it on to me--buying exercise equipment and not using it has been a genetic thing, :lol:). Yeah, I have lots of machinery........but I keep it in pristine condition........don't use it a bit. 8) :oops: :? ;)

Beth, you've made some great choices and I'm guessing I'll use my machines in the not so distant future (when I'm at or very close to goal?).
