No matter the plan... we all Blog to Lose!
Thankful that I have you guys!
If I don't tell you all, I am very thankful you're here and I can turn to you all when times are lousy or to share triumphs. It helps me to get feed back on dieting & exercising. Not all friends or significant others can truly relate. My husband tries, but he doesn't understand why I am so depressed over me weight gain or how I can be so disappointed in myself. Friends who don't have weight issues think just stop the over eating & exercising. If it were that easy I'd be a damn rail. But I've been practicing questioning myself every time I want to eat something unhealthy or binge."How bad do I want it?" And I am referring to how bad to I want to lose weight. Thanks for posing that question on your blog Nubia. And finally Jill is back!!! We've all needed a good dose of her and her helpful advice. She asked who is in it with her? I AM. Today I ate healthy and I did Power 90 Sculpt. Maybe tomorrow I will do Slim in 6 Ramp It Up or maybe I'll do Power 90 Sweat. Not doing it for 6-7 weeks because I was doing Slim in 6 has made the old work out look new. I am still waiting for Insanity to arrive. I think I need a kick ass cardio work out and if this is anything like the informercials I am going to be one strong mama. I've been successful in the no snacking at work all of last week and these 2 days this week. Yeah me. Today's menu was
Breakfast - Banana w/1 tablespoon peanutbutter & black berries
Snack - Lefse with fat free hummus & 1 date
Snack - Bing Cherries
Lunch - Tossed salad w/lots of veggies & topped with chickpeas & 2 stalks celery
Snack - cantelope and grapes
Dinner - Bean & Veggie Enchiladas
I did eat more, but I was hungry. Maybe tomorrow I will try to cut back on one of the fruits. I've just been fruit crazy lately!! Happy Tuesday.

What a nice compliment to your BTL family and I totally agree with you! This is a rough road to do alone or to be around others who just don't seem to get how hard it is. We have each other!
That needs to be the burning question - 'How bad do I want it?' Very motivating thing to ask yourself every time there is an opportunity to eat something unhealthy. Lately, if I see something I want that's bad I multiply the approximate calorie count by 5 or 10 (like around 10 drinks a month, for example) and realize how much I'm getting ahead by avoiding it.

And I am thankful you are here! It is great to see your meal plans, hear your goals, and to know that others struggle with some of the same things I do. I see such slow weigh loss, but knowing I can get help from my friends here on BTL keeps me going. One thing I love about summer is all the fruit choices! I just had some watermelon slices after dinner. :)

Plus, too many people IRL want to tell you what they think you want to hear instead of what you need to hear.
We'll keep you on the straight-n-narrow if you want! :)

I couldn't agree more Paula. We all need each other. I have my husbands support- but he doesn't truly "get it". Our friends here really get it. The ups and downs. The anger and frustration. The excitement at losing .6! :) Your need for my support helps me and I hope my need for you does the same. I need you now! Today is my day. Tracking begins! I need to feel in control again. I am weighing in tomorrow. I will face my setback and take it one day at a time. I am so glad we are in this together!
