~*~*NO SWEETS! April 9*~*~

[pink_fortitude]

Good morning ladies! How is everyone today? I am feeling pretty slow and tired... I think I may need to take a rest day today. I am going to take it easy this morning, and this afternoon I will run if my body is telling me that everything is all good.

Mag, I found the JL group, and it is not misspelled - good job! :+ Can you believe that my triceps and back are STILL sore this morning? When she took breaks during the tri dips, I just kept going and then I did kickboxing after the strength work so who knows when my back will be alright. I did see that you are also a Canadian, eh?
I was actually thinking about what you had said, and what Catherine had said, about desserts: DH and I were talking about it and he really wants to be able to enjoy things like that w/ me when we go out on dates. One of our favorite things to do on date night is to share a dessert together after our meal. Maybe we could allot for one each week? That is WWWAAAAAAYYYYYY less than what I was doing, and I have had some treats since I started here and still feel great with no comas I do think that as long as we can stop ourselves and be able to control it we should be okay. I hate to recant on a previous commitment that I myself made up... what do you think?

Catherine, great job on the eating! What do you enjoy on your salads? I recently starting adding peanuts to my salad w/ a homemade vinagerette dressing - it is so good! I have to let the peanuts soak for a couple of minutes so they soften a bit, but it is pure yumminess! I don't eat much meat, so it is a nice way for me to add some protein.

Linda, Rose, Alicia - good morning! :7

Well, friends, I have to go. I am hungry! Talk to you all later!

Morning ladies,


Head hurts like hell! eating is still clean, but scale seems stuck again.

I think everyone needs to do what is right for them and if that means a treat once a week then go for it. The important thing is to know when to stop! I personally will finish out the month, but then I have a deadline and goal to achieve, but after that I certainly will have a least one treat a week. Which like Missy, will be wwwwaaaaayyyy less than what I was doing. As long as you are happy with how your doing that is all that matters.

Anyway, this morning was four straights sets of eight with a 1:30 rests.

Back
