I was an emotional eater, I so understand the eating cos someone got you mad - and good on you for not doing it this time!

Did I just write "more stronger" in that last post? lol I guess thats why they invented proof reading....maybe I should try it.

I am definately feeling the weight training this morning. I am so glad I learned about the BMR and the caloric deficit stuff yesterday. I am much more informed and prepared to stick with this to the end. Plus, since I started eating enough, it is SO much easier and apparently will be so much more effective. My next obstacle is stopping myself from weighing every morning. Even if I know I am doing well, its such a bummer to not see a difference in the scale everyday.

I hope you all don't mind that I write in here so much. At the moment, I just find it very encouraging and it keeps me in the right mind set all day.
Welpers, the kids are getting up...better go get their day started.

Hi Tiffany! I'm glad that you are so on track and feeling so motivated! Hope you have a great day!

Thanks for the replies, guys. Glittergirl, do you have a first name you'd like to share or is Glittergirl what I should call you?


I just finished doing the work outs that I normally do in the morning. I literally had to FORCE myself to do it. I feel better for having done it(no gulilty conscience), but I also feel physically ill like I might loose my lunch.

***Note to self: Get your booty up in the morning and do your workout because if you don't, you feel like crap all day and then have to force yourself to work out feeling like CRAP!***


Someone please tell me that all days won't feel like this one. I feel like crying....

I need to go pray...be back later when my emotions(and my turning stomach) have settled down.

My name is Holly...

Cheer up. I'm glad you did your workouts today but am really sad that you are having such a down day. Cheer up! You are doing so great so far! It's just the beginning and all of this life changing is draining! Don't get down on yourself. You can do it and you will! I am here for you!!!!

oh, i also meant to ask you if you had yahoo messenger. if you do you should send me your sn and we can chat

Some days will be good, some days will be bad...and there will be varying degrees of each and varying reasons. Based on what I have read thus far, you have already started learning the correct info about calories and the need for you to have just enough.

Good Job on the 20lbs lost, and good luck on your endeavors. You'll definitely learn a lot and get a lot of support here.

Well, tomorrow morning is my first official weigh in since joining WLF. I am anxious, but not too much because I think I have done really well. I did get in an enormous fight with my husband and I bought a can coke and drank it. The small victory is that in the past, I would have bought a One Liter AND some chocolate. (I drank the can and still stayed within my calorie limit for the day).

I got some more workout videos so I am sure not to get bored...and I got a new yoga mat. I am not sure about my calories today as I ate lunch at Taco Bell, but I did not have dinner, so I am sure I was under.

Holly, I don't currently have Yahoo! or any other tyoe of messenger, but I may just have to download it. (The last two times I put Yahoo! messenger on my computer, it slowed it way down. )

By the way, where is YOUR diary? Am I missing it somehow?

Hi Tiffany! I am glad that you wrote in your diary... I was beginning to think you had left us...

Anyway, yay for having a variety of workout videos! Good job not over doing it when you were mad with your husband.

I'm not sure how to send you the link to my diary but it is there... haha.

umm i know you can click on my name and look at my profile then just click on the link that says view all threads posted by glitter girl... then you should be able to see my profile... hope you find me! haha

Forgot to add my weigh in:

March 23- 233! I lost weight!! I can now weigh myself fully clothed after eating and STILL weigh less than I did last week nude and with an empty tummy!

YAY! Gonna go chart ito n the weight loss chart thread.

YAY for you!!! That's so great Tiffany!! It's such a great way to look at it too!

Thank you, Holly! You are such a friendly gal

Well, I just got back from my third workout today. It really felt good...I think I like working out in the evenings much better than in the mornings. I kinda twisted my knee today. It is a teeny bit swollen and a little warm, but it doesn't really hurt...I am just more aware of it.
I added a little more body movement during the day. I put on some peppy music and get my kiddos to dance with me while we do the housework. They are 1, 2, and 3 years old, so they LOVE it! It's like a triple threat: I get the housework done, I get to play with the kids, and I get the added cardio all at once. You can't beat that. We had a ladies meeting at our church tonight and one of the women just kept going on about what a difference she can see in me already. WOW-It felt so wonderful--I get giddy just thinking about it right now! This transformation is so amazing. I am still mystified as to why I waited so long to do it. I guess it only works when the time is right, eh?

Today I would estimate I had about 1650 calories.
Exercise:
10 minutes Pilates
10 minutes TaeBo
Lifted weights in the morning and again this evening
10 minutes recumbent bike
10 minutes on the Elliptical machine

WOW your exercise looks great! You're doing a fantastic job! It's so cute that you got your kids to dance around with you... that's adorbale.

You should probably get your knee looked at... it doesn't sound good and knees are sensitive things that you should be careful about! Anyway, I hope it feels better tomorrow!

Have a great great weekend Tiffany!

Hi Tiffany!!

Sorry it took me so long to stop by your diary....but I'm here now

THats cute about dancing w/ your kids, your showing your kids excersize doesnt' have to be boaring, it can be fun!

How's your knee today??? Hope you have a great saturday!!

Congratulations on moving that ticker!

And yes, we all have days that can be emotionally draining - they come and go, the good news is they come less often
