Good point gg9720!  I have to remind my self that it is a new days sometimes. 

I think it is hard to change eating habbits so quickly.  We didn't get bigger by eating heathy.

Just out of curiosity sack, what are you girls eating?  I feel hungry a lot, and I am trying to stick to about 1600 cal. a day.  Either I am doing something wrong or you are more controlled than me.

Great article!

I love soup.  I have been experimenting with making soups at home.  I was eating canned soup all of the time, but they are a lot higher in salt content then the homemade ones.

Ok.  I am good at chiming in late.

I don't have the money to join a gym either.  I do exercise videos.  There are some that use light hand weights.  My hubby was telling me the other day that he could see that my butt was firming up.  I have noticed that I am starting to see more definition in my arm.  I have been losing 1-2.5 lbs. a week when I am persistent and make sure that I do it 5 or 6 days a week.

Good for you!  Learning from our trials and mistakes is what life is all about.  How long do you have to wait before you can start running again?

I weigh myself every Saturday morning, naked, on the bathroom scale.  It is a lot easier for me to do just before I take a shower.  I have a hard time functioning in the morning until I get a shower (I guess it is a lot like some people and coffee).  I workout at night after my kids go to bed, so I don't have to worry about that. 

I am thining that it is possible that not logging everything.  Instead of metally subtracting on the day that you workout, you should still log your intake.  Maybe you could log your workout on the activity log as well.  You may not be burning as many calories as you think you are as well.

I would think that if your dr is going to have you do a bone scan, she is more worried about it than she is letting on.  I have a medical problem that requires me to take meds every day.  I never had a dr tell me the risks if I didn't take them.  I found out from research that I could have serious heart problems if I don't take it.  No dr had ever told me that!  Sometimes you just have to trust your gut instinct.

I pledge to give up chocolate chip cookies for one week.

I have noticed that on days that I don't weigh in the date that I will achieve my goal goes up a day no matter how well I do.

I have been wondering the same thing!

I think it is just the new meathod that CC is using to calculate the burn meter.  I am risking showing my nerdiness here, but last week there was a blog about the change in the burn meter.  Here is the link. My burn meter is about 100 calories lower as well.

I had always told myself I wouldn't get as big as my grandma was.  I am almost there.  She was a size 18.  My size 16 pants are getting tight.

By the way you can probably order a similar water anaysis from your city.  Call the water department.  They always have analysis data available and getting the report is free.  For comparison you might be able to get a similar report from your local water bottler.  It can be eye opening I think.

 

My city sends out a water report every year that says what is in our water.  It can taste strange in the summer, but once I get used to it, it isn't so bad.

I have seen so many news reports saying that a lot of the bottled waters are just tap water anyway.  What is the point of buying it if I am already paying for water to come into my house?

I love thses kind of unexpected compliments!  Congrats!  That goes to show that 3 pounds makes a difference.  What a great motivator to continue!

My hubby made a comment about how I was looking in my workout clothes once.  He got a great reward for that one (ok maybe that was what he was aiming for)!
