I do have a great recipe for salmon and for pork loin and beans. We definitely need to exchange recipes. I can't wait to see you this summer--we'll be svelte and slim together :-)Christinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05383099148014297450noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5523176879771875815.post-70070015449534765162011-04-05T07:10:17.987-05:002011-04-05T07:10:17.987-05:00Hi Kathy: I'm so glad you're exercising wi...Hi Kathy: I'm so glad you're exercising with your hubby. I think that doing the 4Hour Body with my hubby is helping me stay on track. A support system is important.<br /><br />And enjoy some fruits for me. I'm only allowed fruit on my cheat day :-)Christinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05383099148014297450noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5523176879771875815.post-66124815993971338242011-04-04T15:36:42.091-05:002011-04-04T15:36:42.091-05:00I can usually eat what I want in moderation as lon...I can usually eat what I want in moderation as long as I exercise. I haven't been doing that since I've been dealing with these migraines. But hubby and I discussed this and we have a plan to exercise every night during one of our favorite shows. That should make it more desirable, if that's possible. LOL!<br /><br />Good luck with your plan, Christine! I started eating more fruits and vegies too. ;)Katherine Bonehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14701961380138616355noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5523176879771875815.post-9837836883697125392011-04-03T13:15:43.167-05:002011-04-03T13:15:43.167-05:00Christine-

The cheat days are fun, but I usually look forward to getting back to eating the program foods as I feel so crummy after the binge! The wine helps!!! Let's share some recipes!

THe fact that you're committed to sitting to ENJOY your meal is fabulous. I've been doing that with darling hubby now for dinner -- we used to sit at the counter-- and I think it makes a huge difference. I will be cheering you on!! <br /><br />You can do this!!!<br /><br />:-)Christinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05383099148014297450noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5523176879771875815.post-58730559529321744612011-04-02T06:59:40.980-05:002011-04-02T06:59:40.980-05:00Christine,

I'm going to go by my clothes fit. I will excierce 4 days a week and eat smaller portions. <br /><br />I will not diet again, I will change how I eat. I will eat at a table for every meal not standing up at the counter.<br /><br />SusanAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5523176879771875815.post-61232858199366745392011-04-01T12:37:41.045-05:002011-04-01T12:37:41.045-05:00Hi Carol: I've looked at Body for Life--but fo...Hi Carol: I've looked at Body for Life--but for some reason that one didn't click with me. I love that you could fit into your daughter's skinny jeans after you finished the plan. My goal here is to have a lifetime of being at my best weight for my age. I am sick and tired of gaining and losing the same poundage. <br /><br />Check in with me next week. Keep me posted and let me know how it goes.<br /><br />As far as the cheat day--last week we couldn't eat everything we had wanted to eat LOL. I was so happy to be back on the "plan," on Sunday. I usually don't work out on Sundays--but I can imagine all the extra carbs and blechy stuff would impact the workout.<br /><br />Stay with me on my journey. Let's cheer each other on!<br /><br />:-)Christinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05383099148014297450noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5523176879771875815.post-42603305973552397642011-04-01T11:31:24.026-05:002011-04-01T11:31:24.026-05:00Good luck with the new diet plan, Christine. I'...Good luck with the new diet plan, Christine. I'll be checking back to hear about your progress. <br /><br />Hubby and I did the Body for Life plan some years back and boy did it work. Specific exercise plan and diet 6 days a week. I ended up getting into some of my skinny daughter's jeans! Of course, she wouldn't let me wear them, but it was nice to know I fit them. :D<br /><br /><br />It also had a cheat day, but we found that if we cheated too badly, the next day of exercise we were very sluggish and that made it harder to lose. The longer we stayed on the plan, the less we enjoyed being really 'bad' on the cheat day. <br /><br />I need to lose about 15 lbs so it doesn't look like there's a whale lying next to my pool this summer. ;)Carol Burnside aka Annie Rayburnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12293010041077113759noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5523176879771875815.post-81615652925721859502011-04-01T07:12:38.765-05:002011-04-01T07:12:38.765-05:00HI Debbie: I am so excited that you are losing wei...HI Debbie: I am so excited that you are losing weight and working out, too! I shoot for 5 times a week, but I do different exercises so my body is tricked. I did a workout on Wednesday that actually hurt my shoulder (the instructor is tough!), but the Zumba class on Thursday shook the pain away. I love the spinach/egg breakfast as well. And you're smart to follow a diet that is for diabetics. Everyone has to do what works best for them.<br /><br />I bet we'll be smokin' hot at the national conference. Keep me posted about your progress!!<br /><br />:-)Christinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05383099148014297450noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5523176879771875815.post-57072215459082249422011-04-01T07:10:44.304-05:002011-04-01T07:10:44.304-05:00Hi Ellen: I know what you mean about certain parts...Hi Ellen: I know what you mean about certain parts looking better than others when we are at different weights. I'm glad you're making an effort to cut the sweets. That will make a huge difference! I want you to check in and let me know how you are doing. At the end of the three months, we should post pictures of our new bodies!<br /><br />Happy Mother's Day to you!! Enjoy your time with your mom. I suggest at least one day where cheating is allowed. And this is a great day to cheat!<br /><br />:-)Christinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05383099148014297450noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5523176879771875815.post-32914233962567486122011-04-01T06:47:51.788-05:002011-04-01T06:47:51.788-05:00I'm on the same journey, and although I expect...I'm on the same journey, and although I expect to look better for RWA this year, my journey will probably last a good year. Achieved my first major loss this week after three weeks of 1/2 to 3/4 lb. losses! To do this, I hired a personal trainer (2xweek), slowly ramped my aerobic exercise up to 3x week (going for 4+), and obsessively track what's going into my mouth. My eating plan was developed with the help of a nutritionist that my doctor sent me to a couple of months ago. I've modified it slightly, but interestingly enough, I use the eggbeaters/spinach breakfast from the 4 hour diet. But I put it with a Thomas's light english muffin. The whole cheat/eat day doesn't work for my diabetes :)<br />Good luck, Christine. Hopefully we will see a lot less of each other at RWA :))Debbie Kaufmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17805720678569940665noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5523176879771875815.post-69248201334718659822011-04-01T06:00:26.495-05:002011-04-01T06:00:26.495-05:00I'm not on a plan but I am trying to be good -...I'm not on a plan but I am trying to be good - my jeans are all pinching the tops of my thighs, which is slightly painful but it's a great reminder!<br /><br />Starting today, I'm cutting out takeaway food, and reducing the chocolate. I'll be having a sweet treat with my mum on Sunday (it's mother's day over here!) but apart from that, I'm being good until my pants fit again!<br /><br />Annoyingly, I noticed last night that my butt looks good when I'm at this weight, but the rest of my doesn't. Why must my butt be such a rebel? Does anyone else have a rebellious butt?Ellen Brickleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01184391430927483100noreply@blogger.com
