This is a really great idea! Since my work week runs Monday to Sunday, Mondays are the first day in my week. :) Today’s not been all that great. Between running around trying to get everything done before I head to a conference Wednesday and trying to use up leftovers that would otherwise spoil while I’m gone, I’ve been doing not so hot on exercise and eating. But I packed...
You know, maybe I should “officially” start next week. I spent most of yesterday in extreme neck/shoulder/arm pain, which resulted in yogurt for lunch and peanut butter toast for dinner. See, sore neck = nausea = eat only those things which can, er, be easily returned. TMI, I know. But reading about your efforts is helping, and I know we’re all in this for the long...
Exercise Wise: Well i went and worked out this morning, did half an hour on the treadmill on one of the programs it has so up hill then down hill, whilst watching Ricki Lake :) felt good once i was done, its just very, very hard to get the motivation to actually get off my butt and go down there. But am aiming at a minimum of 3 times a week and the plan i have set for myself to start with is 10...
This is a fabulous idea, Leslie!! Ralph and I were just talking about how I am an externally motived person while he’s more internally motivated. Hopefully this will help me keep doing what I need to be doing and I’ll be able to help others just as much. I have a few things coming up that are helping to motivate me. First, my ten year class reunion is in July and I have a...
I wanted to add two of the “diets” that I’ve considered. The first is based on the book Volumetrics . I own the original , but that one looks good too. It has some very good ideas and good recipes and it was rated as very healthy by Self magazine (one of my favorites). The other diet / lifestyle plan is the one my brother Daniel, a physical therapist and certified...
I’m still running around trying to get ready for my trip (see my blog for the gory details), but I figured Aleta and Misty had a good idea with the stating goals bit, so here are mine: I’m hovering around 16/18/20 depending on the item, and weigh between 215 and 220. Since I stopped growing taller, the smallest I’ve ever been is size 10/150 pounds, and that was when I was...
Well I woke up sick this morning, to the point of not being able to go to work…so I did great in the food department! LOL….ate about one meal’s worth of food today….no exercise though…so that’s bad. Oh, and as for goals…I want to lose about 50-55 pounds. And be more healthy too :) As a side note: I am so glad that I found the Eat Right 4 Your Blood...
Ok, so some of us have talked about our goals…but what about our rewards? What is your reward for yourself? Is it a trip? An afternoon off? After much thought (ok not really), it finally dawned on me what a great reward would be. a).Clothes wouldn’t be that great of a reward because they can get to be expensive and I already have a ton to pilfer through. Besides, by the time...
I have to ‘fess up — now — that I won’t actually start this until the beginning of November. I absolutely HAVE to get my neck / shoulder / arm thing fixed before I can even begin to think about regular exercise or planning or anything. Devoting three nights to PT plus one night and maybe one weekend morning to massage therapy, plus work, just leaves no pain-free space. ...

I recently started a diet and excercise plan (about a month ago). However, it’s turned into excerciseless diet. It was easier for me to stick to a healthier eating plan because I gave up my detrimentally cherished vices with serious committment to encourage my mother in her efforts to quit smoking. Soo-o-oo-o, I enjoyed some initial weight loss. But, when the excercising came to a...

Today I begin….well sorta….I am sitting here getting ready to actually plan a menu for this next week. I want to buy the book, Eat Right 4 Your Blood Type, but at the new store its pretty expensive. I did find the website though, and it looks like there are some support forums, so that will be nice. I also need to come up with some sort of exercise program. I love swimming, but...
Well to clarify…I haven’t actually started the diet…just investigating what I need to do to get started…haven’t been able to go grocery shopping yet….looking forward to it…especially since I found out oatmeal is ok after all :) And a big thank you to Irish, Misty, and Angie for joining!!! I can’t wait to see all of ours progress!
Well my first day probably won’t start officially till tomorrow seems i think i have well and truly blown it this weekend :) but i did have a chicken salad for lunch if that counts. Exercise wise, i am mainly going to use the gym downstairs i’ve been using it off and on and there is a pool as well but i’m not really comfortable swimming just yet and there is the small...
