ACMESkydiver 0 #1 August 31, 2007 Post up, sweeties! I hadn't gone to the gym or exercised in 3 days, and it's killing me!!! I'm just taking time enough to post this thread, then I'm over to my treadmill for 30 minutes for my a.m. cardio (yeah I'm late, but I still haven't eaten, so it'll burn the extra fat I'm carrying around, right?! It's been tough trying to manage this on will-power alone lately. One slip with high-sugar/carb foods and all of those cravings come back, and it is a FIGHT to try to get back to the no-hunger stage again... The twins' birthday party last night had some delicious gluten free/dairy free deserts and McD's, so I avoided the McD's and had a tiny piece of cake. I'm making better choices, so I'm not gaining any weight back, just not losing since I haven't been working out like I need to. Anyhoo, how are y'all doin'? Lastly, I have actually looked into buying a Hoodia plant...a real LIVE one, not the pills...just because I don't trust what manufacturers say they are putting in their pills. It is a succulent, not an actual cactus...I think it will do ok in my master bath, where I am growing my aloe vera (thanks to the scar thread!! ) and a Christmas cactus and a tropical spikey plant...any thoughts? I struggle with appetite control, particularly when stress hits. I like to do things as natural as possible...~Jaye Do not believe that possibly you can escape the reward of your action.

Nightingale 0 #5 August 31, 2007 I lost a pound, but probably gained it back with the patty melt and fries from Carl's Jr that I had for lunch today (my dad informed me that I had a new job and it was mandatory to celebrate by "not eating any of that bunny food crap").

tigra 0 #7 September 1, 2007 I've lost about 2. I'm seeing and feeling a difference since I started doing more strength training and a little less cardio. I signed up for more personal training sessions but I haven't been able to work out with my trainer for over 2 weeks. I'm doing OK on my own, though! This weekend will be a challenge- it will be tough to squeeze in a workout, plus I've got at least 2 parties/ barbecues to go to and DZ time, which means beer! And Jaye- quit skipping breakfast! That's the most important meal of the day! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Well if you weren't so popular, you wouldn't be getting invited to all these BBQ's and such & it would be easier to stick to your diet! Quote And Jaye- quit skipping breakfast! That's the most important meal of the day! No no, I'm not SKIPPING it! I'm just s'posed to try and do the cardio when I first wake up, THEN eat the breakfast. Lately, I've been swamped with stuff to do right after I first wake up, so I end up waiting to eat until I get the cardio in. Then I only got it in twice in the last several days anyhoo! ~Jaye Do not believe that possibly you can escape the reward of your action. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Its not so much popular- all these "events" just seem to happen at the same time on weekends when I actually might otherwise be able to make some jumps! Its a conspiracy or something! Between my whuffo family and the SO's, its a wonder I've made any jumps at all this year! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

psipike02 0 #13 September 4, 2007 I haven't measured myself in a bit, but I decided to get on the scale today and saw that I lost about 3 more lbs....it's about damn time Thought I hit a plateau for a bit...My body fat is also down 2% since I last measured it in June. I'm starting to be able to tell now.....my jumpsuit wasn't as tight and i'm starting to fill out my shirts more now... Puttin' some stank on it. ----Hellfish #707---- Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
