Maren I know I've seen printable lists of the 3 cooler plans on random websites. I can't seem to find them now! Do you have any links? I have them all jotted down in a little notebook but I'm not sure if I'm missing anything. We had fun in the City I'll go post about it now!
Thanks for the comment Maren. It is nice to have a baby in the house, especially this time of the year! All the traditions my husband and I have seem extra special now!!
I looked into the clean eating after I saw one of your posts, but it seems a little too strict for me right now... maybe once I get a little more settled into the working mom thing! Coming up with a plan was my way of giving myself something to focus on--other than the fact that I will be separated from my little one when I go back to work--makes me a little weepy!!
I'm crossing my fingers, hoping the new year finds you pregnant :~)
Hey Maren, we are snowed in! I'd love to join you in the challenge, I'll do my best with what food I have in the house today I had steel oats for breakfast. Tomorrow we are going to NYC to see Cirque du Soleil & I'm sure I'll be eating more than what is on cooler plan 1. But I'll plan to hop back on plan when we return! Thanks for thinking of me I really need a kick in the butt! I forgot to WI this week but I think I'm up again since I have not been too diligent! I'm frustrated with myself! How's it going for you so far?
Hey, thanks for writing me back! It's funny you should say that because my period finally came back too, and I'm also around 130-135! Ironic we are going through the same thing (sort of). I'm not running that much anymore though, just about 9 miles a week. Things are starting to finally get a lot better for me. The binging is getting less and less and my weight is going down (at one point I was 140). I'm not sure exactly why I went into such a slump or why I'm able to come out of it now.. I need to try and be more aware of that stuff I guess. Glad to hear you're doing well!
Thanks for your support Maren (((HUGS)))! I'm not sure what this pattern I'm doing is all about, but I'm just glad that I found my way back. I'm already feeling very motivated to make more goals! I look forward to catching up with you!
Glad to hear you're doing well! I'm kind of in the same place with blogging - mostly reading, occasional commenting but rarely posting. I guess I've just been busy with school/work and haven't really had anything to write about lately. Is intuitive eating working well for you? I find the whole concept interesting though, I haven't read too much about it. I like the idea though, of being able to enjoy things and making things off limits. I find it really fits in with how I like to think about eating.
Hi Maren I have been MIA for so long that I felt I better come & say hi. I have slipped off the wagon & I'm trying to find my way back on. I have not worked out or followed any eating plan for a few months. I think I need use some encouragement! : (
That all sounds wonderful! I have been great! Had a really fun Halloween week and weekend..filled with celebrating and festivities! I have started taking some fitness classes at the student center here and I have really enjoyed some of them. It is nice to switch things up a bit. But I am so excited for Thanksgiving coming up! Can't wait to indulge on some amazing food:)
Hey! The half went great... I'm going to post about that today and about some good changes I'm going through w/ intuitive eating... hows it going for you?!?!
Thank you soo much for your sweet comment! It truly made my day! I guess I am so paranoid about my weight sometimes because I worked so hard (and still do) to get to where I am today. I joined this site, not to lose (despite the name haha), but to gain support and accountability now that I am out of my comfort zone. I have definitely become a little bit softer since I came to school, but not larger at all. I guess this is God's way for me to learn to love myself and relax. It's comments like yours though that truly help me!! So thank you again! You are SUCH an inspiration:)
Hey.. I'm ok. Thanks for asking. I kind of freaked out and stopped reading the book. I guess it got too scary for me at the moment and I needed to just let it sink in before I move forward. There are certain parts about it that are hard for me to deal with... like the notion of ALWAYS eating what you want. I feel like sometimes it's okay to deny yourself, you know? That's just a part of being adult and a part of having a healthy life.. aka not having dessert every single day. I don't know if I'm scared to take the next step or what... and maybe this is exactly what I need to do to end the binging. I am actually already trying to apply some of the principles. I'm sort of still counting but I keep going over points... and I'm definitely trying not to go crazy this weekend like I usually do. I'm actually SUPER stressed because my half is on Sunday and I have a bad cold, so I'm freaking out a little bit. Yesterday seemed worse than today, so I think I'm starting to get better... so I have hope that I'll do okay but I'm still worried. The other thing that's hard for me to start the intuitive eating now is that I really want to focus on losing this weight... and we all know that's easier when tracking. All along I've planned on stopping counting points once I am done losing, so I'm going to do that no matter what. Maybe I'll just try to finish the book and see what I think then. I'm definitely proud of you for taking that step, because now I see how hard it is. How is it going for you? Are you eating everything you are craving or what? How was your last counseling session?
