DOWN for 2013 - New Year New You! (Page 13)

What is this word you speak of?  We are triathletes = type A  

I must admit. Moderation is not a word I can use for either champagne or oysters

AGREED!!!!!  Although tomorrow, since it is the start of a new month, I really want to take a bikini shot, so by keeping that in the back of my mind should be a huge help!  I need to start taking weekly pics again as it motivates me to stay on track.  At least my date tonight has already told me he does not have a sweet tooth, so there won't be that question of splitting a dessert or not.  I've also told him that I've been sugar free for a month.

Sounds like a plan! Good luck and HAVE FUN!

All the time, hahaha.  I'm a numbers and data freak though so there is that.  Have fun on your date, oysters????  On a first date????  Proceed with caution Ms. Abbie, dangerous territory. 

Looking forward those monthly shots....hahaha

Well Don, if I'm going to throw on a dress and heels...he can spring for oysters and champagne

FANTASTIC!!!! You set the bar for the rest of us!

Down a pound this week, so I am one pound below where I started for the month. That was gaining 2 and losing 3 due to vacation interference.

Now to increase this tiny momentum.

133 today!  Down 3 pounds since we started.....please let this be the tipping point of getting down.  Here's today's pic...yes I DO NOT have a stick figure structure.  Darn muscly quads.

I cut out all sugar, sweeteners and honey.  Fruit is fine, but I cut it out last week, just for a few weeks to get my tastebuds to change.  Yes you can train your tastebuds!  FOR ME if I cut out sugar even fructose it resets my tastebuds and cravings.  Someone asked me yesterday what I crave now and ironically, I crave texture rather than a flavor.  I crave the crunch of celery!  I know, it's bizarre, but a much better craving than chocolate covered gummie bears!  Yes, I regret the day I ever tried those at the movie theater, sounded gross, but I had no idea how yummy they would be!  Also note I've gone grain-free....strict Paleo worked for me a few years ago.

Labbit, labbit, hello February. After the last of the holiday parties, I started counting calories and lifting weights again. I gained 5 lbs in the period from about Halloween/Thanksgiving through to the week after New Year's, due to overeating and practically stopping all physical activity! Back on track as of January 9th!

January 9 - 131 lbs

January 28 - 127 lbs

I'm 5'1" and my goal is 120 lbs. I know lots of women who are 5'1" weigh a lot less, but getting to 120 lbs seems like such an insurmountable task that I can't picture what I'd look like weighing less. My February goal is to get running regularly again, and to lose another steady pound per week. Thanks, everyone.

135 for me - same as last week.

Plan to start moving toward a more Paleo type of diet in the next week or so as an experiment. I already eat 100% gluten free, so it will be a matter of adding in some fish and chicken, plus eliminating rice and potatoes. I think I can do it.

Darn sexy quads!  Oh... and the rest of you, too.  I said it before: you should be glad I'm married.  I'd totally stalk you.  ;-)

As for me, I did the scale thing today.  I dunno how, but I'm sitting at 241 in full uniform.  I'll post tomorrow what I weigh sans heavy clothing.

Kinda. Grain free, dairy free. Processed crap free.
I'm not gonna knock it till I try it.
