DAY 148

I am soooo mad at this site right now! I hate not being able to post. I hate not being able to try and encourage others. But it has just become too much of a chore. My time has been limited recently and unfortunately with everything loading so slow, it takes too long for me to jump from place to place catching up and posting. I would like to say thanks to all who stopped by my house tho! Everything has been going well. Keeping on program, had a decent loss last week so all is good in my medi-world. Week before last, i stated that i had changed a few things and i only had a 1# loss. So i wanted to keep with it for an additional week to see what was going on (whether the changes caused the low loss or what). Well just as i suspected, it was my body and the scale conspiring to be stingy (again!). It finally let go of 2.something this past week, although it is trying to act a little funky already. That's ok, Sunday will be here before i know it and i am shooting for at least 2.5! Did i ever say HOW MUCH I LOVE THIS PROGRAM??????? Well of course i did but it always bears repeating. Don't know how much catching up and posting i will be able to do right now so i just wanted to say to everyone. Have a great week everybody!

Hey Bugs,

I know what you are saying about how much I love this program. I have a feeling the site is better. I miss writing to everyone.

So what do you think about this weather. I AM SO LOVING IT. John, Matthew and I walked to the library. I know your probably shocked, Me a girl who hates exericise. LOL. Well hope you have a great evening.

we are running neck and neck with the exercise thing. I just can't seem to make it a habit but i am so disappointed with my stomach right now. It's too mushy. The extra skin thought scares me. Apparently, it doesn't scare me enuff to make me exercise. I know things need to be toned but i am just too lazy right now. In all honesty, i am kinda afraid of failing at the exercise thing. In my mind, if i start again then don't stick to it, i am looking at it as failing. I know the chance to start up again sits right there but i struggle to do it. I have no excuse beause I have more exercise dvds than Blockbuster and more gym memberships than I would like to mention. All i know is this stuff needs to be tightened up. Oh darn it, Erica...JUST DO IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Mike]

I hear ya on the exercise... I need to do more of that.
I also need to remain more strict than I have been... gotta get my head on straight.

Keep at it, and don't worry about the competition with Blockbuster... they will lose out eventually anyway. (I'm not a fan of Blockbuster... bad company... bad experiences).

Have a great day.

[aquarianskye]

Wow,is it crazy that I have the exact same thoughts on exercise? I know I should do it...I just don't. And things need on this body definitely need to get toned. Maybe tomorrow. Right now I keep using mf as an excuse not to exercise. Guess I need to go figure that out??

DAY 155

Wow, ok so either the site is moving faster or i have become more patient since i don't have to work this week. There isn't a WHOLE lot to report. I have remained compliant thru some trying times this past week and a half and the scale (and my body) has shown me their appreciation. For which i am VERY THANKFUL. Easter didn't cause any problems for me since we just had a small dinner at my grandmothers house which was pretty easy to keep MF compliant. Although i have to admit that i ate 2 meltaways (little cookies about an inch in diameter). I filled up on collard greens and cabbage (mixed) made with smoked turkey so the biggest problem there was the sodium from the smoked meat. Grandma tried to send me home with a half of a sweetpotato pie and lemon pineapple cake with cream cheese frosting. YUMMY! I figured that if i could resist it while i was there, i didn't need it to follow me home. Temptation would have been too great and i would have resulted to "just a nibble" then "just a pinch" then "just a bite", "just a small slice", "just a bigger slice" then next thing you know, all of it would be gone. So i left it right there. Yay me! I woke up this morning a little lighter which felt wonderful. I am close to the 170's (with 175 being my realistic goal). However, I don't see my body being where i want it with only losing 6 more lbs. Therefore, i am still pushing for my 155 because the way i look/feel, i can still stand to lose another 25-30lbs. Weight has been coming off fairly easily for the last 2 weeks. Although i like the higher weightloss numbers, i am wondering if losing it a little slower might give my mushies and skin time to keep up. I know, i know, many of you are going to say "GET OFF YOUR LAZY A$$ AND START EXERCISING", i know i say the same thing to myself on a daily basis. I haven't been doing much organized cardio but i have been house cleaning like CRAZY, believe me all that i have been doing counts for a little. I have started back with my pushups. I got on the floor the other day and voila! I knew that before i could not do ONE pushup so i decided to try again. I pumped out 10 of those babies! It's funny because what made me decide to try it was...the other day, I ran across our warehouse floor to go into one of the other offices and i just felt so much lighter. Previously, there was a 10 second lag between my body and all of my fat following and bouncing. Well, there was almost 60lbs less to bounce. It was such a wonderful feeling. Now if i could only get "the girls" to comply with the weightloss on the MF plan. I know they have gone down a bit but they seem to be the LAST place the weight/inches are coming from.

Well i hope everyone had a wonderful Easter. This post ended up being longer than i expected. I guess i had more to tell than i thought. Hmmm, NSVs are even more motivating!

[lifelovinaries]

ok, so i lied...the site is NOT moving faster and my patience has NOT increased.

[Tawanda]

Some posts work great and some times the site is painfully slow along with duplicating posts. I know Unca is doing all he can to fix the situation but it does make it look like some people are being ignored when in reality I just give up.

[Mickeyz]

Good for you passing up those yummy deserts!

I was never much of an exerciser my whole life. Actually I still have to force myself to do it, but I always feel great afterward.

I have noticed that some people are just over thinking the whole exercise thing. At this point don't worry about actual exercises or exercise dvd's or gyms...just start the habit of a nice brisk walk everyday. Go as far as you can and increase the distance as you can. Before you know it you will be pumping out 3 miles at a time. Just move your body!

[Maisy]

I want to spend next Easter at your Grandma's!!!!!! Way to stay strong , I would have rolled in that Sweet Potato pie and changed my name to piggy...I am new/old to the south. I lived here as a child, enough to know what good food is, but spent the last 15 years in WI, a very cold fattening place. Glad to be home, but the family does not eat greens , they will though...they just don't know it yet!

You have done a wonderful job, don't stop now, you will spend the winter in sweaters that make you look like a snow bunny! You will be proud you ignores the other bun bun at Easter.

T, that is EXACTLY what i am experiencing. I guess that's why earlier i thought i was on a roll. I just find that when i try to catch up on journals and stuff, i feel terrible about not being able to respond (case in point...your journal) Just know that you and your family were (and still are) in my prayers, i just didn't get to send it to you before. I tried posting to you one time, then it timed out, the back button wouldn't work for me to copy/paste the long entry and i just felt exasperated and logged off. So many times i want to add my opinion and/or support and i am just not able to. *sigh* It's still moving slow now but i can't sleep and decided to come on here for a bit of mental exhaustion to help cure the insomnia! Unca, i have complete faith in you and i know you will "git 'er done"!

i know for a fact that i am overthinking the exercise thing. if i put as much energy into doing it as i put into avoiding it, my world (and body) would be a better place. Walking is so simple but recently i have become queen of excuses so nothing seems as simple as it really is. There was a point last summer where i was logging 2 miles just about every day. Then lost my walking buddy and it went downhill from there. Since i am not a cold weather person, i have been limited to my walk away the pounds dvd. I have only been doing this 1-2 times per week tho. I figure if i can talk about exercise daily, i will eventually make some part of it habit. My pushups have my arms/chest so sore but i am doing them FAITHFULLY every other day. Hey, it's not much but it's a start.
