Monday Healthy Check In's

Morning All ~hugs~ Well once again a Monday morning and I am not off to work! Well I am getting things done around here that needed to be done but I just did not have the time so I guess that is a good thing. My Healthy Check in: 1. Down 6.5 lbs on my new eating plan (South Beach Plan) and I am doing good on this, I have this last week on the 1st Phase and then onto Phase 2 which I will be on until I hit my goal. 2. Drinking 2-3 liters of water a day. (about 64-96 oz water), reduced my Diet Coke a LOT. I might have a couple of sips from a 20 oz bottle per day. I have not purchased Diet Coke in bulk anymore, I want some I will get a 20 oz size. 3. On the bad side I have not exercised since I have been out of work. I just do not have the umphhhh to get this done and I am working hard on getting myself onto my treadmill again. I have not been to the gym since it is close to where I used to work and that drive is about 45 mins. (Not wanting to spend the gas since I am not working) though I do have stuff at home I can be doing but I just have to get my mind BACK into the work outs!!! As others have said: "Just do it" though I am finding that hard still. OK who is next????? Give the good, bad and the ugly. You all have a great day!

Happy Monday to you, too!

Awesome about the South Beach plan working so well for you!  I did hear it was a great plan, a life style!  I think I'm drinking about 2 liters a day, mixed with Crystal Light of course.  Once in a while I drink plain water, not often though.

I had plans to return to CURVES today.  Ug, after the man smashed into my car, my neck is sore, so will probably wait until later in the week to see how I feel.  Always something.  I weigh in at home tomorrow and at the doc's Wednesday.  I've been "stuck" at 192 for about a month.  Need to figure out a routine for making sure my body is "flushed out".  I think having a movement every 5 days is probably not helping.  Other than that...LIFE IS GRAND! Weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

Muah

Ok, so I haven't been on the scale since last week...I decided I needed to jump on it after I made the above post...LOL  I'm down 2 lbs!  LOL  190!  It moved!  YIPPEE SKIPPEE!

WOW hun that is just awesome!!! I am glad to hear the scale moved for you as well. I try to make my 2 liters ONLY water and then the other can be Crystal Light or Caffeine free Diet Coke (so small now). I know all the fake sweetner is not really great for anyone so I try at least.

Maybe I should try to make at least 1/2 jus****er...HELL, I would LOVE a Diet coke...Can't though, it's one of my bad vices!  LOL

Yeah start slow and even some lemon or lime in it helps, some time I just crave the water now but others I love the lemon and lime in it. Yeah I was bad and started back on that evil stuff but now I have limited myself and feel so much better about it. It is one of those crazy things for me.

I love lemon in it.  When I go out to eat, that's what I get.  A RNY friend of mine shakes the ba-gee-zus out of the pepsi...then drinks it.  LOL

You guys are doing great!!!!! Cheri wahooooooooooooooooooooooooo!!! Okay for me, I just got back and I am still at 74 pounds down.  I got a fill today.  I feel great. I drink about a gallon of water a day...box and am walking everyday.  Everyother day I am usinga  12 pound sledge hammer to break up an old foundation to the barn I took donw.  I am so active it scares me. I think the ugly is that I need to try other foods and not just stick to what I know works.  Switch it up some.

OMG a 12 pound sledge hammer???   Damn I have a problem with the 10 pounder Congrats on the 74 lbs gone forever!!! Glad that the fill has worked for you. Take care

I tell you I have shocked myself.  I am not evev close to a good weight for me and I am so energetic...I scare myself, my Doc and my hubby.
