Weight Loss Forum / General Topics / May 2004been two weeks and doing okay.......
I have been on track now for about two weeks and I am doing much better. Haven't had any donuts or tim bits since about May 1/04. I've given up criossants and now am working on giving up tea biscuts and muffins. I had one muffin today. And one tea biscut. I have also done not too bad with my diet pop. Althought I am still working on cutting back on that. I have decided not to give it up altoghter. But I am going to limit how much I have cause I tend to go over board with it. Also I'm trying to allow my self one small ice capp, once a week as a treat. But only if I do well with my eating and exercise. I have exercised pretty much everyday for the past two weeks. Allowing for two rest days. Which are on the weekend. Saturday and Sunday. I am eating three meals a day and am working on only eating when I am hungry and not when I am board. If at work I am not buisy with customers I find something for myself to do instead of standing around and eating. Also my doctor and I'm sure others on here or on my other groups have mentioned this before. But I take a drink if I find that I am hungry or think that I am hungry wait 15 mins to see if I still want something to eat if not then I walk away or continue to drink. Also I try to drink lots of water before I go to work So I am not hungry when I get there. And it usually works cause I spend more time in the bathroom then worry about food. my friends wedding is one week from friday that just past. And I have lost the weight or at least some of the weight I gained a couple of months ago. I am pleased with this. Now if I could just get my eating time under control and cut out the muffins and tea biscuts then I would be happy. My goal now is to get back under 130lbs, and then to 125lbs. And then finally to my final goal of 108-110lbs which ever come first. I'm trying to set a cut off time for when I eat at night. But it's hard because of the hours I work. I work a lot of shift work. But I am aiming for 9 at night as the last time Before I can eat anything. after that I can't eat. then I will aim for say 7 or 7 30 . Taking baby steps. Okay enought rambling time to go. Sorry so long Angie What's a tim bit? doug On 5/20/04 11:36 AM, in article eRUqc.68761$325.1383186@news20.bellglobal.com, "Angie" <icouldbeurse@hotmail.com> wrote: > Haven't had any donuts or tim bits since about May 1/04. the centre of a donut we sell them where I work at Tim horton's > What's a tim bit? > [quoted text clipped - 5 lines] > > > Haven't had any donuts or tim bits since about May 1/04.

Here in the U.S., they're usually referred to as "donut holes"...  SignatureJ.J. in WA State - 251/235/150 (Change COLD to HOT for e-mail) some people here call them that too. they are really good fresh out of the oven that is my worst habit. But i haven't had any in like two weeks. i'm not weighing myself everyday either which i used to do all the time too. Angie > Hark!

You're doing great, Angie. I think it's wise to make small changes along the way as they're more likely to become regular habits. It's hard to jump into a 100% change in our woe/wol and stick with it.

I think that is a good plan. I do something similar with my latte. I never gave it up and only had one when I had "room" in my calorie budget but I do typically have one on Wednesday after my spin class at the gym. The class is at 7:30 p.m. and the rule is if I go to the class and I work hard, I can pick up a medium skim latte on the way home. It's kind of an extra motivator (I love the instructor. He does a great job with the class. It's just a dumb time for a class, as far as I am concerned.) It's also a way to celebrate the end of "hump day."

The gym I just joined will be doing some remodeling this summer and adding a spin class. I was thinking I could do this over the winter and possibly avoid having to get the legs back into biking condition in the spring. I can normally bike for 8 months out of the year but it often becomes impossible November through February. Beverly >>> Also I'm trying to allow >>>my self one small ice capp, once a week as a treat.

My average speed (what the bike computer calculates over the entire ride), has increased since the fall. My hill work is somewhat better as well. I was actually just going for maintaining my fitness level through the off-season but I think that it did actually improve (or maybe just change) my riding somewhat. > The gym I just joined > will be doing some remodeling this summer and adding a spin class.

I have decided to continue to go to spin class 2x a week (Wed and Fri) during the summer and ride 3-4x a week outside (Sat, Sun, Tues and perhaps Thur), weather permitting. I go to the gym on Monday and Thursday for other stuff now. Signaturejmk in NC > >>> Also I'm trying to allow > >>>my self one small ice capp, once a week as a treat. But only if I do [quoted text clipped - 37 lines] > -- > jmk in NC Thanks. I imagine it will be late summer before the spin classes start so this will work into my schedule at the right time. The trainer I spoke with thought this might be a class I would be interested in taking. Hills will probably be a problem for me as most of the bike trails around here are old railroad beds and don't have a lot of hills. Some of them do have some very long uphill grades. Some of the newer trails they've constructed to join the parks do have hills but I haven't had a chance to ride them. I've been taking a different route around the neighborhood to include a couple of hills in my evening rides. Who knows - maybe someday I'll be able to tackle the "killer hill" on our ride to the amusement park! I'm still getting use to the new road bike. So far I haven't had too many problems. It was quite a challenge to change from the handle bar shifters to the STI shifters. Now that I feel comfortable with those I think I'm ready to tackle the SPD pedals. Everyone has warned me I'll probably take a fall or two before I learn to disengage them when I stop. I'm just hoping I'm near a grassy area when this happens<g> Beverly thats like a good idea. great way to reward ourselfs for doing a good job all week long angie > > Also I'm trying to allow > > my self one small ice capp, once a week as a treat.
