Just checking in. I am still depressed, and that is the best appetite suppressant ever. I have been eating less, even on the days when I have an appetite because I don’t want to sabotage the progress. the numberon my scale has gone down, but it is like 10 pounds off from the scale at my doctors office so I dont know my true weight. I just know when I look in the mirror, my profile is thinner, and my clothes are loser.

Who was I kidding? I know that the surest way I ever lose weight is when I am depressed. Thanks to the “separation” (we are no longer calling it a break-up) I have been to stressed and depressed to eat much. I easily lost 2 pounds the first week, and this second week, I am enjoying the loser waist band. To maintain it, I am just eating smaller portions of everything.

I also did the no soda thing. I however did not weigh or measure myself… but my pants were tighter yesterday! and I didn’t slip up. I even ate Salads on Friday and Saturday. So I am still trying to do no Soda, more water and also (instead of saying no fast food) I am goingto try to cook dinner every day and bring some type of lunch … Saving money and being healthy? It is going to be rough… I need to measure though because I feel fatter! and I just went and got a coke… I had $.65 and i couldn’t get a water….

week 1 went well for me, i did slip up and have a dr pepper when i went to lunch with my boss this week.

i have replaced the soda with sparkling flavored water. my children even think they are soda and want to drink them. It still has that carbonation effect which have helped with the cravings.

this week is to eliminate the sweets and continue with water and natural juices.

Nina, if you get a minute could you send me the link for the fish tacos again (and the chicken if possible) your menu sounds amazing for the week. If you’re interested, I just posted a recipe on Kitchen Witch for chili made with ground turkey that turned out really well.

I’m doing well with my healthy eating/exercising but this a great way to stay motivated.

Dang I want to come over to your house for dinner!

I jogged 3x last week after reading your blog. I messed up last night and had a few two many cocktails. Haven’t lost any weight but i’ve been dippin into trick or treat candy like i’ve never seen a kit kat b4. I need to buck up and just throw all that crap away.

Wow 3 lbs??? thats awesome!
This is what I was going for:
Week 1- Nov 1st- Smaller portions, more fruit and NO soda.
Week 2- Nov 8th- Walk more often, to the train station and etc.

I slipped up once on the soda. It wasn’t even worth it. The more fruit I did ok. Not as good as I expected. I am trying to eat @ least 3 pieces of fruit a day. The smaller portions worked out.

My 2nd week is going to be easy to incorporate. Its the continuation of the first week goals that is going to be difficult.

Id like to incorporate a no fast food to my diet but that one is going to be extra difficult. I get home rather late to want to cook and my mom rarely cooks food anymore. Im wondering how replacing fast food meals with cold cut and pbnj sandwiches would work. Id get my fruit serving that way also. What do you guys think?

3 lbs already? Nice!

Since we’re still getting settled in, I wasn’t even going to start until the weekend. BUT this week I did organize the kitchen enough so we can cook again, and I cleared a path to the elliptical. Those should count, right?
