pouch test day 5

 Yesterday was great. Not easy, but great. I realize how much head hunger has slipped back. Since I am committed to finishing the test accurately, I resisted. Now I need to remember that process tomorrow and on and on. 

The ground beef and shrimp yesterday were like treats after canned tuna and eggs.

I am going to Pilates class today. Will be interested if I feel better than usual. I still dislike exercise after all these years. I realize for me exercise is like medication, taken for life, just takes 30-60 minutes to get down. I stole that from Covert Bailey, but it helps me.

Glad to hear that you're staying on track!  Keep it up.

Congratulations for making it so far!!!

Strange as it may be, exercise is one of those things that I have made peace with, because the alternative of gaining back the weight is not acceptable. I hope, you can find some pleasure with exercise in the future. The key is finding something that you enjoy doing. Then, it won't be quite the chore.

Even though, there are many days that I have to talk to myself into going to the gym, I always feel better afterwards.

Have a good day.

I sure appreciate your honesty and your efforts!  I am eager to know if you continue on and how you rate it when it's over.  I hate exercising too but I love my quad and dancing so maybe that'll work for now.  You go Wendy!  Proud of ya! 

Way to go Wendy... Keep inspiring me!! today was day 2 for me and I have to admit it was easy at work....I was swamped and had little time to think about eating.  Tonight I made the family tacos while i drank my shake, boiled eggs for tomorrow and made the chicken salad with feta recipe. In a little while I will pack my food for tomorrow and I have to admit i am looking forward to eating!!  During my lunch today I went for a walk since it was 72 degrees out and tomorrow I will hit the gym again.     Friday is my birthday and I am looking forward to going out to eat with my hubby and having a nice juicy steak with leftovers!

Now to only get through the evening which is my biggest grazing time!!! 

Have fun at pilates.

Wendy, can you find someone to exercise with?  I am actually loving the movement.  I do pilates 2x a week and now Zumba 2x a week.  The other days I walk with the girls or do pilates at home.  I can't believe how much I look forward to it, but not necessarily alone.  I do go to Zumba alone because I just get lost in the crowd.  I tried it last Friday for the first time and have already been back because i Love it so much.  I have never been able to dance.  Visually impaired when it comes to watching and repeating what someone does but with this it doesn't matter.  An hour of shaking my booty is just what the doctor ordered.

Congratulations on making it to day 5!!

Zach and I will be in Napa for the film festival.  I may have to take him to the Girl and The Fig because he loves a great burger.  If we make it to Sonoma, I'll stop by to see you!  I have a feeling time may be too limited with all the filmmaker parties.  I'm hoping for a picture with George Clooney.  I'll be on the lookout for him if he's there for the screening of his new film.

 George Clooney! My crush, you lucky dog!

It would be great to see you. I will call you or please call me to arrange a walk (I'll come to the East Bay) so we can catch up. I am so happy about your upcoming plastics.

I know I am lazy about exercise. I  like your advice to find a pal, now I have to take it!

Enjoy your Zach time.
