Just 4 Today:
I will drink 2 liters of water, walk 5 miles, taking my fiber supplement twice and NOT eating between meals and NOT taking seconds.
I’m also reading the book, You on a Diet: The owner’s Manual for Waist Management
What are you going to do today?
Hi KB.
J4T I’m drinking my 2 liters of water and probably more. I’m still coughing a good bit and now taking antibiotics and an inhaler for bronchitis. It’s getting better day by day. Thanks for you recommendation over at my place for the Mucinex. I’ll be getting some today.
Everyone have a good weekend.
Today I got up and went to Weight Watchers. Although I was told only about 20 people showed up to all the meetings yesterday, this morning there was a lively crew of at least that many at the second of three Saturday meetings talking about how they had done the past few days.
The mood was definitely upbeat, and even those who had setbacks felt they were smaller than they might have been without WW strategies for coping with the feasting season.
One woman who said she had lost and gained back 100+ pounds at least a couple of times before said that with WW she really felt in control for the first time. Quite a testimonial !
I held my own, and can easily account for the +.4 lb. by the fact that I have done ZERO exercise the past few days, instead of the treadmill time I had planned. It won’t take long to sweat that off !
Many people noted that the real difference was a change in attitude facilitated by WW strategies and recipes. The leader told us we should be thankful for those who are supporting us in our efforts for this positive change in our lives, and said Oprah had suggested writing down every night 5 things we are grateful for, saying that such a gratitude diary is a powerful tool for changing our attitudes. Sounds like something worth a try !
Hi FamilyMan and catdog!!
I’m very glad to see you. We’ve had our kids here all day (our daughter is still here) and I haven’t been here since this morning.
FamilyMan, I’m so sorry that you’re so sick. The year before last I got bronchitis 3 times and was miserable the whole time. It’s one of the big reasons I’ve worked so hard to get my health back. I don’t want to go through that again. Please take care of yourself.
catdog, everytime you post I’m “this” close to signing up at Weight Watchers. You make it sound really, really good.
