List of things I am proud of:
- I did not eat out all week
- I did not eat any junk food all week, not one bite of chocolate for Easter
- I exercised daily whether I felt like it or not
- I checked in daily even if I was not doing everything perfectly
Areas I need improvement on:
- I ate too many healthy snacks, especailly almonds, need to find another go to snack
- I ate pizza one day that would have thrown my Atkin's low carbs off
- I am not sure I should be eating Light Strawberry Yogurt, need to look at label to determine
- Never did pick up any fish, so eating a lot of red meat... need to pick up fresh fish
good morning!!
today, I did not weigh and I don't want to. did extremely minimal exercise on my ball and planning on doing stretches on it after work. I may add resistive exercise to my PM expectations on work days if I decide that is do-able. not sure, I don't want to start something I can't maintain.
I did measure my Area of Maximum Pooch and it's the same, sadly but not unexpectedly.
I am proud!! I checked in every day, I didn't weigh even though I thought about it couple times, I did the exercise I planned on and I feel very strongly that I now have the habit of permanent exercise. that is a Huge Hairy Fantastic Deal!
need improvement: I still binge eat, a lot. in fact, I am amazed I didn't get bigger considering how much I ate a few times this week. to deal with that I continue to think about, plan, and post for the afternoon/evening "Transition Time" and invite eveyone to join me.
you can call it Danger Zone or Late Day Challenge or anything you want but I know a lot of people have issues with later in the day: mornings are easy!

once upon a time I had a group to talk about Binge Eating Disorder, and later one about Clean Eating.
PM me if you are interested in either of these.

Hey Jackie you are doing GREAT regardless of your binging. THAT my friend is a long battle but I see you chipping at it on a daily basis.
Kudos on the exercise =) That maximum pooch will be beat into submission in no time.

Mission Statement:
I will weigh weekly on Sunday
I will measure and take pictures on Sunday
Goals:
To fit BACK into my size 12s.
To reduce my waist to 38, my Hip/Butt to 45 and my Thigh to 24.
Thoughts:
- I am REALLY proud of myself. I know I weighed yesterday but having NOT weighed for a week was just what I needed. I will continue to weigh weekly UNLESS the scale doesn't move and THAT takes away my motivation.
- I really really love my new pedometer. It's called a FitBit and I wear it 24/7. I love that I can attach it to my bra and have it as accurate as if I was wearing it on my belt. I just take a look to see where I am in my steps and it's such a HELP to me to keep me moving and attaining my daily walking goals.
- Thank you to Cindy for doing this and being such a GREAT cheerleader.
- Thank you to ALL the ladies for your support.
- I have NO doubt that I will get these 20+lbs off, fit back into my size 12s and then move ON to my goal 10s!!
