Healthy Weight Loss

Hollylane · 06-07-2012, 07:18 AM

I try to keep my carbohydrates between 15 and 30, but optimum weight loss, for me, happens with a limit closer to 15.

sylvie · 06-07-2012, 10:22 AM

Today was my weigh in.. 4 lbs lost!!
Grand total of 103 lbs lost since April of 2011...

Yaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay!
So happy to have myself back on track..
The last two months, i was so unmotivated and maintained, didn't lose.
Which was okay, because maintaining and "knowing" i can maintain, is so important once i am happy with my weight..

But, i am so happy to hit this milestone.. It was a big one for me..
So now i'm at 212 lbs .. (started at 315)
No idea of my goal weight, i don't really have one..

To be honest, my only goal in this, is to find ease, happiness & peace of mind.
AND good health, of course..i know every step i am taking is bringing me better health overall... That's what i'm focusing on the most & what keeps me going.

At the very beginning, i was so weight obsessed.
So i love how my thought process is changing throughout this journey.

Next weigh in is June 25.

It's been a little over a week since I have been able to
make it into the gym - work schedule screwy and sleep schedule
all screwed up....but yesterday the phone rings (local number)
and I pick it up....

Al the Trainer: "Where the hell have you been?"
Jo: "Right here, working my ass off! Who the hell is this?"
Al the Trainer: "Get your ass into the gym, we open up at 5 am!"
Jo: "I'll be there tomorrow between 5 and 6!"
I knew right there and then who it was.....and I am not
crossing that crazy Russian!! I was there at 6:30 and by
6:45 am he had me sweating like a pig!

Gotta' love those accountability partners!

I get "the look" from the older ladies at Curves if I miss a day. Not the same, but equally effective what with the head shaking and tongue clucking and all.

They all know when I'll be on vacation, and when I'll be back....and probably a dozen have said "and we'll see you MONDAY morning, won't we?"

Gulp.

Yes ma'am.

Today was day 10.. 9.5 lbs lost !! No gyms no huffing and puffing, no drowning in water........just results. I dont seem to crave anything weird either...very cool.....

Just Jo sometimes, THE LOOK is more intimidating than yelling.

It's the quiet ones you have to worry about

Some new blog entries to catch you up on where I'm at!

That's like a pound a day!! Are you feeling okay?

I've lost, as of this morning, 8.5 pounds. I'd like to lose 7 more.

JustJo · 06-16-2012, 07:33 PM

We just got back yesterday from a fabulous 5 days in Key Largo...and my policy is, on vacation, that I eat whatever I feel like eating, drink whatever I feel like drinking, and move as much or as little as I feel like.

I had several strawberry daiquiris, a giant coke float, the yummiest Spanish omelet for breakfast (twice!) that I've ever eaten, a gigantic "knife and fork" cheeseburger that was as big as my head (and that I could only manage half of), mango sorbet, the most delicious chicken tostada ever....and more.

I gained 1 pound....and have the best tan I've ever had in my life.

I feel good...and I'll be back at Curves Monday morning.

Latley I have been dealing with an cranky left knee,for the last fue days it has been better and not poping and paining me as much.So I have been working out on the stuff I have on the paito snd sofar things have been ok even tho I still have a slight pop crunch going on im being careful.The pounds are starting to slowly come off as im trying to stay somewhere around 20 to thirty carbs a day but mostly I can do less than 20.Salads have become my main sorse of meals witht he exception of breakfast,I have to eat a good one or this wont work.I have really watched the night eating that got out of hand by keeping large posty notes in he kitchen to reinforce my mind when I get a drink of water in the middle of the night cause im half awake when I do the night eating.Late this afternoon I got really bord,I ended up seting up the aglity corse I have worked my older fur kid on so we had a refresher corse on the easy parts with the youngest fur kid following checking the stuff out to see if it is friend or foe.That still wasnt enough cause I had the aintsyness to be on the move some how ....so I did another round of working out doing diffrent exersises working a good sweat up in the process.

Way to go!
I absolutely dread going home and standing on that
scale after the 10 days here on assignment.
Too much stress and too many choices.....
Tomorrow, I owrk from the hotel room but I will
take the time to go to the exercise room and do some
work......
