Hello everybody! Happy, ghoulish Halloween!
sarahwho glad you found your way here. I think if you poke and read around the thread you will find some great information to help you along your journey. ElijahRene same thing happens to me when I haven't gone to the gym in awhile. I get sore beyond belief! lol. . and it's painful man. Nothing really seems to help. Try some Ibuprofen, hot showers, and most importantly keep the joints moving. If you sit still it's worse. As soon as you feel okay and go back to the gym though, you will find it was just temporary muscle soreness. I guess for me when I haven't been in awhile I will just take it easy on the first visit again. Thanks for the posts and questions everybody. Welcome to the new people! |

I'm still on low carbs, doing pretty well. After my second weigh-in (meaning 2 weeks into this) I'm 4.5 lbs down, which is a good start, especially with no exercise yet.
It was pretty difficult on Sunday when we went to brunch at Jenny's brother and laid out on the table was a NYC Jewish carb-fest -- bagels, noodle pudding, rugalach pastries, etc. These are a few of my favorite things! It took a lot of willpower but I did ok, just one piece of whole grain bread and a few grapes plus all the non-carb foods. BB

Blech - I have been sucking ass on tracking food and exercise for the last 5 weeks now. Trying to stay positive so I thought I'd make a list of things I'm grateful for during the "trying to remain positive" stage:
Things I'm grateful for (healthwise): * I have some awesome exercise equipment in my library just waiting to be used. It is fully accessible and ready for me! * I have the ability to buy healthy food. * I have not gone hog wild in the last 5 weeks with food or gained more than 3 pounds. * This thread! There. Forward motion!

Taking the Forward motion
As I stood staring blankly into my closet wondering what I would wear, I *really* saw my weight. I have shirts that I had worn that used to fit me. I am happy at what is fitting me now. What is *almost there". And I came to this
 place. Where the hell was I? How did I not know just how much of my emotions, vulnerability.... etc I was eating. I look back now and I wonder just where  was I? How absolutely disconnected I was from my emotions and physical body. I shake my head in disbelief. How did I not know?? Disassociation has so many masks.  So today... in gratitude... I am aware. I will not eat my vulnerability. I will not get swallowed in my relationship (intimate and otherwise). I will not disassociate. I will understand the connection between my emotions, thoughts, food and the size of my ass...  I am grateful for the changes I have made. I am grateful for the fantastic therapist I met at the right time. I am grateful that I will never be *her* again. I am grateful my ass is getting smaller. I am even grateful for the sore muscles I have. I am grateful for my strong legs that carry me through hours of expressive dance. Embracing Forward Motion.

Good Morning Everyone,
Well, come November 21st, I will be giving up my favorite foods. No more coffee, sweets or anything bad..I will be getting a couple of teeth pulled due to cavities and genetics. I will be getting braces in January. I will be having yogurt, apple sauce and babyfood until my braces are taking out..  It is going to be hard, but I can and will do this...Congrats to all who are losing weight and keep up the good work! Zimmeh

.gif "Say What?") I get that sugar will be out, insidious stuff, but all solid food? How about some decent stews or soups. Maybe some slow cooker stuff. Knowing nothing about braces, I'm wondering how long this is going to take.

Good Morning Kelt,
Your first part of the post just made me laugh...No, they aren't going to wire my mouth shut, but I have heard for the first week after they *apply* them, you cannot eat nothing solid. I am going to slowly add solid food but for the first two weeks, I will more than likely be eating soft foods. From what I have heard from my coworkers, it can take up to a year or longer. I am shooting for a year and hoping that it doesn't take two years, like it did for one of my coworkers. This isn't my idea and I am wishing that I didn't have to get them; but thanks to genetics, I have to...My dentist was telling me, that since I don't smoke, drink soda or anything else, that my teeth are very healthy and it shouldn't take long for them to heal once this happens...I have a very good pain tolerance and I will be taking Aleve to help with the soreness... My roommate is excited about me not drinking coffee anymore, he will have the whole bag of coffee to himself... Have a good day, Zimmeh Quote:
