Morning Sunshine of my Cyber World!

How you be this morning?

Meek75 · 07-14-2011, 06:54 AM

Morning Deb and Friends!!

I hope you all have a FABULOUS day!!

Deb294evr · 07-14-2011, 07:20 AM

Morning FRIENDS!!! I am on a deadline today also, in fact through tomorrow, so please forgive my being gone... but I AM THINKING OF YA ALL!!.. Hope you have a wonderful day, and weekend! I will check in when I can...

ALL OF YOU!!

shari · 07-14-2011, 08:44 AM

Hi Deb and friends!

Deb, ugh I hate deadlines and pressure. The good thing is that time will zip through and you'll have your lovely oasis to relax in on Saturday.

shari · 07-18-2011, 05:04 AM

Deb and friends, hope everyone had a wonderful weekend.

Deb294evr · 07-18-2011, 05:15 AM

Good Morning Shari!! Wow I did not check in over the weekend?? Oh my.. well I was just busy and in the pool as much as possible. It really is too warm in there so we are thinking of ordering a couple BLOCKS OF ICE.. to throw in to cool it down..

Seriously it is like taking a bath, and that is not refreshing.. we are looking at 100 degree temps all week with NO RAIN... GAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHH.. I hate being hot!... oh well, my office is very cool so I am grateful for that...

Now I have been down to 3 workouts a week with the weights, but I am still challenging myself with more weight, not more reps... I feel much stronger now. Also doing cardio 3 times a week, so my overall health is so much better than just a month ago! I am having my blood work done in a week or two, so maybe there is improvement there too... BP is normal.. so that is good. I feel less jiggly than I was...

As far as size goes, I am now down to a 12 most days... I know I was a 16 or 18 when I started, so that feels good.. MY BUTT is still so BIG.. out of proportion to my upper body... grrrr.. heredity I guess... my thighs too..

So I hope all of you had a great weekend also, and a good week ahead! I have much work still to do, but the deadline has passed... we did what we could. Now is clean up time... talk to you all when I get the chance!!..

Meek75 · 07-18-2011, 05:22 AM

Good Morning Deb!!

WOW-the 100 degrees heat sounds miserable. Stay cool

. Good job on fitting into a size 12! You are doing such a great job with your eating AND exercise! So happy for you!!! Keep up the good work! And, please let us know how your blood works goes.

12yrslater · 07-18-2011, 07:52 AM

No I didn't, sounds interesting!! I know for ME.. sugar is just as evil and drugs... cannot have any without some bad effects...

12yrslater · 07-18-2011, 10:41 AM

It's on you tube! Sugar: The bitter truth.

Such an eye opener for sure!!!!

12yrslater · 07-18-2011, 10:43 AM

shari · 07-18-2011, 10:44 AM

YEP... all because I am shrinking in inches with more muscle and less fat taking space... I love it!.. I also doubt I have lost much SCALE weight.. but I don't know because I have not weighed in for awhile now...

Hope all is well with you Sans!... good to see you!

Meek75 · 07-20-2011, 06:51 AM

Hi Deb. Thanks for keeping me from falling into the diet craze again... I was almost there!

WHEWWWWW..... I know it is such a slippery slope!.. but you can live a wonderful stress free life, just exercising doing things you LOVE, that make you FEEL GOOD... and eating LESS food.. LESS, of what you love.

Your body will thank you for it!..

AND it won't rebell because it wants something it can't have because YOUR DIET SAYS SO...

That is what diets do... they FORCE your body to demand things it really does not need JUST because the diet does not allow it..

OUR bodies are very smart too! They may tell you they want some cookies for a few days, but eventually, it won't. It will want things that makes it FEEL AND WORK BEST!... just forgive your human self if you have A cookie, and move on. Trust me.. it works!..

shari · 07-20-2011, 08:17 AM

Great advice Deb, I guess I don't trust myself to stop at A cookie so I keep things off limit...LOL. I so love the place you're in and it's where I hope to grow to be too. You're doing so well and it shows!

AWEEE THANKS SHARI! It sure took a very long time to get here, but I practice every day because getting to goal in a STRESS FREE way, is what I am aiming for! I love being in this place and I hope it lasts!! YIKES!..

Of course there are days when I just want to say to heck with it!!! then I do some more reading and get over it... nobody is perfect and that is what I MUST live by. I can't continue to punish my body for my own dumb decisions... one step at a time! for sure!...

Trust sure does take time, so know that!!! what you are doing is right for YOU!!!!! One day you may be able to have A cookie, and leave it at that, but until you are ready, protect yourself... from yourself...

You can't do this wrong... there is no one way to do it...
