Weekly Social Weight Loss And Exercise Catch Up

[Recovery4Me]

Today...I moved 11,974 steps or 5.4 miles at this service job!:laugh: Everything hurts. I ate roughly 1546 calories and will have burned1,774 calories. That is how I intend to do it: burn 100+ more than I eat.

Tomorrow, I have one day off, so I am going to be a quasi-happy couch potato and only walk the dogs to keep from stiffing up. :sorry:

I will need to watch my portion control today as it will be low activity. I am doing an all day workshop at an educational program for the homeless. Great for the soul, harder on the waistline as I will be eating lunch with the group and suspect pasta. I will try to go for a walk at lunchtime.

Two books that I have found helpful, both available through Amazon.com:

The Calorie Counter by Nolan & Heslin

Microwave Cooking For One by Marie T. Smith

My weight is 169.2 and last Friday it was 172.2, so I have definitely lost some weight! I think some of it is water weight, so I may not have lost actual fat weight for as much as the numbers show, but that is only a supposition, so it may not be correct either. The numbers may actually be right.

I started my diet. It will have me weighing daily. Right now is the load day, where I am suppose to eat a lot of high fat stuff. Tomorrow starts the strict part of the diet, and I hope to see some loss. Not right away of course, but soon.

God, please help us to achieve our goals here, and to feel good about ourselves even if we have achieved half of what we set out to do! None the less, I pray we achieve as much as we dreamed of when we started. Amen.

Only a few days on the diet and I've dropped at least four pounds. I get a new pair of shoes at 10 lbs dropped. Now if I can make it to that. The diet isn't so bad. Can definitely eat a lot of lettuce. A little hard without dressing. Just because I haven't made it yet. I just sprinkled lemon juice over it. Have to still get in my protein.

This is about the time I sabotage myself when I see I'm losing weight. I have to get pass this point. Very difficult. I'm determined to stay on the diet. But there is a part of me that wants to do bad. I can't share this with the fellow dieters that I am doing this weight loss with. I'm not sure they'd understand. I just feel anxious. I wish this feeling will go away. I feel it is a hurdle I must overcome. Then, maybe, I'll do fine.

Can you pray or do you not believe in that? I pray a lot and it seems to help. I also did an overall prayer when I started the diet, asking for God's strength and admitting plainly that I knew I could not do it on my own.

Also, the diet group I belong to encourages us to call or Face Book or email someone in the group with any difficulty we are having. We even have a "Battle Buddy" who was assigned to us when we started, the first week. That is the first person we are supposed to contact, when we feel weak. If that person is unavailable, we go on to the next person and so on.

Why not talk with the people you are doing this diet with and see how they feel about having support amongst the group. What do you think they will think about this?

@SheilaKathy I guess I don't want to think I am strange because I sabotage my diets.

Yes I have prayed.

I prefer the support on here.

Ok everyone, well as a lot of you know my mum has been in hospital for 5 weeks now causing me hell, I have been the good little daughter and done the 3 hour driving trip over and back, visiting only to be told to just go home you ask to many questions (which was only two ; how old was I when my grandmother died , and question two what year did my grandfather died, both I had no idea as I carn't remember either of them and just thought it would be nice to know before she dies):(

So I'm over it. :(

Well we need to get some forward motion on this subject, I jumped on the scales and have put on another 1 kilo (2.2)
So tonight I'm going to get on the rowing machine and try and do some so please help me and hassle me if I don't get back tomorrow with some rowing machine news.

How are you all getting on ?

Macbeth and I have decided to have our weigh in on Friday as the weekends are normally rubbish so this Friday is our first weigh ( haven't told her yet hehehehehehehe :p ) in and we have one week to come and tell you how we have gone. Come on all of us let's get together on this and start poking a bit of pressure on each other for just sitting there doing not much ( which we are all good at ) and start sending messages to each other :D

That's what I think Shelia, let's start with random PM's to each other and tell each other how we are getting on and if your PM box is full you are either being super good or supper bad

I only lost 2 tenths of a pound yesterday, so I am kind of bummed. Since it is not like the first couple days.
