Congratulations! And good for you going and having a reward like that, I keep thinking I'd like to set something as a reward after I lose a certain amount but I have no job or money so I can't think of anything XD

I hear Croatia is beautiful!! Congrats on the weight loss, it feels really good, doesn't it?

And that's great that you're getting a manicure as a reward!!

thanx change and bethy i can't really afford the manicure either, but i told myself...i need something i don't need lol as a reward. something just for myself and luxurious, something i would never get just like that. next month it will be massage lol. but the thing is just to reward myself with something other than food. so i'm starting with big things hehe.

Yeah, rewarding with food creates way too many problems and gets out of hand so quickly, it's not worth it--I'm still wondering how I'm going to get my mom out of that cycle of 'When Bethany does something good, take her out to Pizza Hut or chinese!'

Woo Hoo!
Congrats on the 8 pounds! And good for you for going for a manicure!
As for rewards - this is your best reward:
Isn't that a GREAT feeling

M2M it sure is and honestly i don't think there is food good enough to compare. like bethy said... if you've done something good lets all go out to dinner and celebrate. or you feel sad..take big box of icecream and eat your sorrows away. even though the 8 lbs is rewarding by itself, it is just to teach myself that there are other ways to celebrating .

@ bethy
i so understand what you're saying. i'm trying to ignore my mom when she gets like that or i tell her to stop because it feels like she wants to sabotage me. but i think she just doesn't know better since i was little this was my way of eating. compensating.

i'm starting to feel like its time to catch up with my ghosts. i told myself i'll stop running, but i guess i need to write about it soon... every once and a while just to kill any possibility of that worm (as drug addicts call it) to ever come back. i'll do sometimes this week.

anyway, off to watch some tv and do my elliptical

*hugs everybody*

Lena

wow! You've been having some success! Good for you! I update my ticker every week!! So when I saw yours hadn't moved in a while I thought you were struggling- glad to see I was very wrong!!

I've actually been to Croatia (as well as being a decendant of Croation immigrants) so it's especially cool for me to have exchanges with you!

I'm going to have to check your diary a little more often, it's very motivating!

Keep up the good work!!

hehe thanx crocus where are yours from?
i decided to have one ticker in pounds also...they move quicker lol
i'll write more tomorrow, since i'm too busy today, and my spare time will be at the beautician's lol

have a great day everyone

well i did my nails french manicure hehe for the first time in my life. and it feels great, and looks great. i suddenly feel more elegant

did pretty good with my eating today.
breakfast: two slices of whole grain bread, with 4 slices of chicken breasts ham, and 2 slices of cheese, and half cup yogurt
snack: yogurt
lunch: black bean soup and then salad with my low cottage cheese dressing
snack: handful of almonds
dinner: i'm having turkey breast filet and veggies stir fried on soya sauce and vegetable stock

i finaly went to my aerobics yesterday. i didn't use dumb bells because of my back but i tried and i guess trainer really wasn't in the mood because it wasn't as hard. or am i getting stronger lol?

i almost gave in yesterday. i have no idea why. i just felt this urge inside me to go and binge. fortunately i was just on my way to have my manicure. i really wanted to kick myself. what is that voice inside thinking???? i guess i need some stronger venting.
anyway, i tried to analyze myself today and realized that i was irritated at work, even though i didn't think it was that bad, but my immediate reaction was to go and eat. but i managed to control myself. i said goodbye to Lena from December. i guess i just need to keep waving at her cause SHE JUST DOESN'T SEEM TO GET IT!!!!!!

uff that felt better

HaHaHa...cute!!! I wanted to drop in and say Hi adn thank you for participating in the Exercise Challenege..I will drop in regularly...Good for you for resisting temptation...

Yay for getting a manicure and resisting the urge to binge!! That's great news. You're doing soooo wonderful.
