Nickie, yeah, you can have some of the fun, too 
, I'll allow it in this case. hee hee. I can't really relate to the control issues . But, okay, actually all of that very much resonates with me. A lot of what you mentioned is stuff I see in my own life, too.
ps-- My stickers are mostly of cool things like butterflies, dragonflies, bees... and then there are some smileys, too.
Kelli, thanks very much for your encouragement and support !
And, thanks, Mike. I appreciate that very much. I guess I still have mixed feelings about it, but the thing is, there is absolutely nothing I can do about it so I better just enjoy it !
.
Well, I am feeling great today. This Sunday marks the end of my two-week compliance challenge with myself, and though it's not over and I haven't been perfect, I can certainly say it's been one of the best moves I have made on program. It has completely turned things around for me and the structure I have found within it have helped give me so much more confidence about transition and maintenance. I couldn't be more pleased.
So, since my two week challenge is nearly up, I have been thinking about where I want to go and what I want to do from here. I am nearing my original goal-weight of 160, and though I am awfully close to knowing I have reached the stopping point, I think I do indeed want to press onward to 155. I can't imagine I will want to go lower than that.
I am hoping to reach that weight by March 25th, which will mark my 9 months anniversary on MF. That is two weeks from this Sunday, so my next challenge is another two weeks in my little calendar that has become my friend.
Well, here's to all of our successes !!

Thanks Biki and DeDe .
Well, I am feeling just great today. It's a little gloomy outside, and I don't just feel high about life, but I feel really energetic, strong, pretty rested, and all that !
So, yesterday was okay for me MF-wise. I almost got myself into trouble with some stress eating right before the concert, but thankfully that didn't turn into something outrageous and unstoppable (though hubby was very helpful and we ended up needing to lock the stuff in his gun safe, and I don't know the combination, thank GOD
).
I was doing fine up until 5pm when I had my Caramel Nut bar an hour earlier than I was supposed to. And, that was not for any good reason at all, I just wanted it badly. And, it was definitely acting as a trigger for me yesterday (argh... I need to keep being much smarter about those things ! I think the bars and soy crisps are going to stay in the safe for awhile).
So, after the bar I decided to have some soy crisps -- that is not technically a cheat since I hadn't had a snack for the day yet, though I guess that particular combination is not recommended (though it hasn't caused me too much trouble as far as weight loss in the past). Well, then I decided that since I had already done something that wasn't recommended and felt guilty about it (guilt is a trigger for me, too, btw), maybe I ought to have some PB while I am at it, so I did. And, I ate 2 T's.
Well, I was right on the verge of doing more harm, though I knew from past experience that I might still be okay with what I had already done and that with the concert that evening, I may even still lose by this morning. I was peering into my MF cupboard, contemplating another bar, when my hubby walked in -- after I had already told him not to let me eat anymore because I knew it was just stress eating -- and he immediately got out two plastic grocery bags, told me to load all my trigger-food in there, say goodbye to them for awhile, and that they were heading into the safe
. And, into the safe they went. Which deflated my binge-mode. But, instead of being at peace with it, I was angry, I guess, because before I left for the concert I was mad at hubby and started a stupid tussle with him. argh.
Anyway, the show came and went, and actually it went really, really, well and I found myself kind of wishing that hubby and I could go get a treat at a resturante (that is not just my tradition, but a performer's tradition -- I guess it's time to change tradition 
) instead of going straight home and spending that evening like everyday during the week is for me -- at home. Well, even though I debated for a little bit over going home versus going out, my decision was not really that hard. I knew what I needed to do and so we walked into the house where my life just went back to normal again 
, but, I was satisfied with it. I did have a hot cocoa to end the evening, which was an extra suppy on top of my snacking, but, I actually needed it as I was hungry after the concert and knew I wouldn't sleep if I didn't have it (plus it was pretty close to 3 hours since my last one anyway).
Well, I was down nearly a pound this morning. So, I feel grateful that my little episode yesterday stayed more or less contained and that I didn't completely ruin what I had been working on this week with a few moments of stupidity and weakness (that's all it takes, ladies and gentlemen... a few measly moments).
So, this morning I woke up with my little calendar, weighed in and wrote down my weight, ate my oatmeal just like the calendar said I would, drank my coffee, I am drinking my water, and got here on the forum. This is my life, and, though sometimes I have to wrestle with the "beast" a bit, everyday I stick with my life that I have now, the "beast" loses its grip on me and the wrestle loses is potency. Or, so it seems for now.
Cheers,
Karli

KARLI,
Love and humor make the world go round! I enjoy your posts very much.
Remember that these last 10 pounds usually go a little slower...
but just keep the beast at bay, and whoopi, you will reach your goal with flying colors...

Also thanks for sharing your journey - it helps to know that we are not alone in this.by Karli » March 12th, 2007, 10:13 am
Thanks, Lizabette and Sue ! I appreciate the votes of confidence ! .
So, the Opera scenes are over with and I believe they were a success. There were some people in the audiences for whom it was important that I make a good impression, and I think my missions were accomplished. I am pretty happy to be on this side of my most recent couple of singing gigs, as those were fairly time-consuming and pretty stressful.
We'll see what comes of those experiences. In the meantime, it's on to a solo competition in April and a Masterclass weekend in May. I am looking forward to these because, even though there will be some intensity involved in preparation and performance, it's a little more individual work and I like to have that balance in my life. I am feeling pretty ready for these things coming up.
And, speaking of April and May and being ready, I AM SO READY FOR SPRING AND SUMMER !! Spring is always my favorite season (I like them all, but nothing beats a good Spring for me). It's supposed to be in the 70's here all week long
:shock:. Between that kind of forecast, and me going out on one of my favorite short hikes with doggy this morning, I am just feeling so satisfied to be going into these months knowing that I can wear tanktops, haltertops (only when back-forrest hiking ), shorts, bathing suits (yep, I am going to get one -- haven't had one for a decade or so) t-shirts, sleeveless dresses, etc, and feel comfortable and free. I am also ready to try to figure out how to get working out again.
So, since I am getting pretty darn close to goal and figure I only have a few weeks left, I am going to use these few weeks to gently get back into the swing of things with working out. As I mentioned, I went on a great hike with doggy this morning, and I decided not to push too hard. I am already remarkably freer in my hiking than before I started MF, even though I was hiking more often beforehand. That is fun ! I am pretty sure I went on about a 250 calorie hike, and I had an extra bar and a 70 shake instead of 55 for one of my normal supplements. I am just going to see how that works for me today and wait for the weight report come tomorrow morning. It feels great so far, but it's still early.
I am going to plan to hit the weights tomorrow, ever so gently. And, if my eating was appropriate for my workout today, I will just do the same thing tomorrow. So, instead of freaking out about this all, I am just going to learn as I go. I just can't hold myself back any longer.
Speaking of getting back to exercising for reals, hubby and I are planning something really fun and cool together. For the past number of years he has involved himself in a triathalon that our local "Y" holds each October. He is great on the bike, so-so with the swimming, and the running has always been a challenge for him because he has some knee problems (from running too much in highschool). He was telling me that this year was going to be the first year he wasn't going to do the triathalon because he just doesn't feel like he can handle the running, since last time he injured himself (knees) and that set him back a bit this winter in his cycle training.
Well, I said I would do it ! I have been wanting to do more organized athletics for awhile now, but, there have been complications (one of which has been my weight). We can sign up as a team, and we decided that I will run, he will bike, and depending on who's faster once we are going into October, one of us will swim. I am really, really, excited. Nickie asked awhile back how things have changed for hubby and me, well, this is a major change . It's an amazing feeling to be able to participate in something like this and on the same team as my husband (he is a fabulous athlete).
So, athletics. Well, they are really important to me. My first priority in my life right now, is keeping a certain balance between my activities. And, I have realized that even though I don't want any one of those activities to take over my life and therefore destroy my somewhat delicate balance, athletics are important enough to me that without them, the balance is shot anyway. So, I am really going to make this a point and priority within my daily balance.
That's it for now !
Cheers,
Karli

How exciting! I can't ever imagine wanting to run in marathons like my husband regardless of my weight, but glad you two could find such a great and healthy bonding activity!

What a fun idea!
The most my husband and I have talked about is bowling together. I know, it's not exactly athletic - but the mere fact that I am considering going out in public is a step for me.
Enjoy the weather this week! We are hoping for 50 today - hardly 70, but if it warms up a little more I want to take a walk with the baby tomorrow (no time today or Wednesday - another musical in my life for the next two weeks).
I was so happy for you (and imagining how it would feel) when I read how much you are looking forward to spring and summer. I believe that in another year I will have those feelings - to that extent - right now I just feel them mildly.
Well, I don't know how this managed to be all about me - sorry! Have a great day!

Thanks so much for stopping by, ladies ! I definitely appreciate the encouragement and support .
Well, I do happen to have a lot of energy most the time, and this is precisely why I am constantly wanting to be able to workout ! Actually, it's also a very main reason I can overeat ... I have to be able to redirect it or it just turns into nervous energy !
AND, the more I workout, the more I have... hee hee. Speaking of which, since I am trying some new stuff with what I am doing, I am going to keep some records here about that.
Yesterday was really hard and I am not positive what the culprit was. So, I am just going to be calm today and give this thing a week, even if I don't lose anything or even if I gain a little, and see if I can get myself used to working out again. I just know that if I don't get back into it all by now, I will simply burst. I have been really struggling with this exact thing since I hit the 180's !
Okay, one thing I DO know beyond a shadow of a doubt is that if I go on any sort of hike or into the weight room (elliptical and then lifting), I need extra fuel. There is just no way around that for me. And, yesterday was really hard because I had to find out the hard way what was going to work for me and what wasn't. I have decided to learn REALLY fast because it's not exactly fun for me ... LOL.
So, I added a bar to the day's diet for my hike yesterday and when I got home I had a 70's shake instead of a 55's at a regular suppy time. By this time I was really struggling with a headache and started feeling sick so I went and took a nap, which I probably needed anyway. I woke up, took a really warm shower, and felt better but my head still hurt and I just had a constant hunger going. So, then I had a T of PB. Well, that helped get me through to my next regular suppy, but my head still hurt, I had very low energy, couldn't concentrate on much, and I still felt a --slightly lessened-- constant hunger. I had my suppy, but then my next one an hour and a half earlier than planned. Then, my L/G an hour earlier than planned.
I decided to add half again to my L/G, and this seemed to do the trick to get me to feel normal again and brought me through 4 hours until my last suppy. It was either going to be a L/G and a half, or a second additional suppy for the day. I am not sure which would have been better, so maybe today I will try the other if I need it.
So, the alterations to my day were as follows :
extra bar right before workout
70's shake instead of 55's for one regular suppy
1 T PB (allowable anyway, but definitely needed yesterday)
extra half of a L/G
I think that today, I am going to try only adding extra protein to my L/G and not any extra veggies. So, I have to eat my L/G this morning, and it is going to be a Turkey burger (about half a poultry protein serving size) and two eggs, and then a cup and a half of cooked veggies. I will keep the extra bar and the 70's shake, and maybe I won't need the PB, but I will keep that as an option throughout the day if I am hurting.
My planned alterations for the day :
extra bar for working out
70's shake instead of 55's during regular suppy time
extra protein in my L/G (not extra carbs)
(PB snack if needed)
We'll see how that goes. I need to just build some sort of platform that I feel I can trust, and as I mentioned, I am giving myself a week with this. I know that no matter what, I am going to have to figure this out eventually, so why not now ? It's right during a time when I couldn't just hop back into the gym and blast anyway (since I am just not in shape the same way anymore), so it might as well be now !
Cheers to All !

Well, that helped get me through to my next regular suppy, but my head still hurt, I had very low energy, couldn't concentrate on much, and I still felt a --slightly lessened-- constant hunger. I had my suppy, but then my next one an hour and a half earlier than planned. Then, my L/G an hour earlier than planned.
I decided to add half again to my L/G, and this seemed to do the trick to get me to feel normal again and brought me through 4 hours until my last suppy. It was either going to be a L/G and a half, or a second additional suppy for the day. I am not sure which would have been better, so maybe today I will try the other if I need it.
So, the alterations to my day were as follows :
extra bar right before workout
70's shake instead of 55's for one regular suppy
1 T PB (allowable anyway, but definitely needed yesterday)
extra half of a L/G
I think that today, I am going to try only adding extra protein to my L/G and not any extra veggies. So, I have to eat my L/G this morning, and it is going to be a Turkey burger (about half a poultry protein serving size) and two eggs, and then a cup and a half of cooked veggies. I will keep the extra bar and the 70's shake, and maybe I won't need the PB, but I will keep that as an option throughout the day if I am hurting.
My planned alterations for the day :
extra bar for working out
70's shake instead of 55's during regular suppy time
extra protein in my L/G (not extra carbs)
(PB snack if needed)
We'll see how that goes. I need to just build some sort of platform that I feel I can trust, and as I mentioned, I am giving myself a week with this. I know that no matter what, I am going to have to figure this out eventually, so why not now ? It's right during a time when I couldn't just hop back into the gym and blast anyway (since I am just not in shape the same way anymore), so it might as well be now !
Cheers to All !

Karli, I love how you always have a plan and look at you...it definitely pays off! You look great! As I said before, I look back at your journal as a "reference." Thank you.
