NEW GOAL CHALLENGE - Any Takers?
Kim and I have decided to set a new goal for ourselves and to help each other reach them through what I'll call the BUDDY-UP SYSTEM. I would love to see others join us! All you need to do is set a reasonable, manageable goal, share it with us, and settle on a strategy that will help you get there! Who would like to join us?
Reenie's Goal:
150 by the 1st day of April (loss of 7 lbs.)
Reenie's Strategy:
Increase protein intake; eliminate processed carbs and get all carbs from fruits and veggies
Increase level of activity to at least 1/2 hour of vigorous moving 6 days a week
Eliminate candy from eating habits (unless a piece of sugar-free candy will save my sanity)
Reenie's start date:
Thursday, 3/12
I WILL POST ON WHETHER I ACHIEVED MY GOAL ON 4/1.
WHO'S NEXT??? Come on team! Maureen

Great idea.
My goal is to continue to eat what my naturalist doc has imposed and get the blood sugar under control. so far so good.
whats interesting is that like a normal person when i have a busy weekend or evening and have eaten out more than normal i might have a slight gain. before i would go nuts with worry about a 3 pound gain not thinking clearly and keeping it perspective that hey i ate more. then i get right back onto my regular eating plan and the 3 pounds comes off quickly. thats what normal weight people do without stress! can you believe it???
so thats why i say i'm still holding at 179 now for 3 weeks. i'm not counting the 4 days that i was at 182. i won't lie and say i didn't get scared and nervous but i reminded myself that i ate out and got back with my food plan. it came off.
now i'm not only working on the low blood sugar control (its better not perfect but better) i'm also working on good things to do at restuarants and when i go to freinds homes for a meal. I'm also brining back up things for me in my purse in case their snacks aren't what i need. AND i'm not worrying about hurting anyones feelings if i have to go to my purse cause my health is more iimportant and if they shouldn't understand then they aren't really thinking of my health now are they? most people do understand or at least keep it to themselves! hahaha
