  1. "Family" Style Dining

    · meltingaway72 · 10/19/2010 03:22

    Today, I fell of the bandwagon. I had a work dinner and we went to a restaurant that serves "family" style food and the waiter encouraged us to share all the food because not all the food comes out at once. This was a big mistake and I will try hard to avoid these situations. Don't get me wrong the food was WONDERFUL!!! The problem is that because the food was shared I ate small amounts of EVERYTHING over a 2 hour period and I ate way more than if I would have ordered my own food. Eating so slowly isn't good for me because I can overeat if I do this. The only thing that makes me feel better is that most of what was ordered was not "carby" but the amount was still too much.
     
    Well, anyway I will be aware of these types of situations in the future and give myself a time limit of eating (20 minutes) and will politely excuse myself and go home.
     
    I had to get that off my chest. I won't beat myself up anymore about this last meal but focus on planning better for my next one...I can't change the past but I can change my future. :thumbup:

  2. Thanks to my bro!

    Another great day at the gym! I have to admit I didn't want to go today but thankfully my brother encouraged me to do so. He went with me and we worked hard but also enjoyed the time together. I'm glad he is supporting me through this journey.
     
    I can't wait for my apt. complex office to open...my turbofire set is here!

  3. TurboFire

    · meltingaway72 · 10/14/2010 04:43

    I'm so excited I just ordered the TurboFire workout. It looks like a lot of hard work but a lot of fun too! I've seen it on a couple of posts so I can't wait to see my results with it.

  4. Good day at the gym!

    · meltingaway72 · 10/12/2010 03:13

    Had a great day today. I just got back from the gym and it felt good to accomplish my mini goal for the day in regards to exercising. I'm a little sore from the exercising I did yesterday but it's worth the aching. I get a lot of motivation from the many stories on this site. Thanks all for sharing your successes.

  5. New day

    · meltingaway72 · 10/10/2010 16:15

    I had my LB placed 1 year ago and I've lost 45 lbs. My long term goal is to lose 100 lbs and my short term goal is to lose 40 more by the end of this year. I haven't exercised in months so today I got up, cleaned the house, and went to the gym. I forgot how great it feels after a work out. Don't get me wrong I'm tired but exhilarated at the same time. I'll be honest I'm sure I could be a lot closer to the 100 lb loss but I haven't followed the rules, when I do the pounds just melt away. I'm not going to dwell on that because today is a NEW day. :-)
    Have a great day!!!!!
