I might have to give up my permanent residence here and see myself out. Hopefully I’ll be back soon when I’m eating more than salt and vinegar chips and bagels.

Some people drink wine. I drink soda. I have really unleashed lately and I think that's what's driving my weight gain. I'm just miserable with my body right now. So that stops tomorrow. I have MH picking me up some sparkling water and I just have to minimize my access and opportunities. The last time I quit outright was during pregnancy and it made me CRAZY because I'm obviously very hooked on the sugar and caffeine.
But I need to lose at least 10lbs by this Dec wedding and I don't think I can do that unless I make a real change in this area. My eating otherwise is fairly balanced - I've cut out snacks and I'm trying to eat cleaner in other ways. This is the glaring, out of control exception that is impeding progress.
I may need copious amounts of hand holding to keep steady.

You can do it starbuck. DH gave up soft drinks like 2 years ago and it was really hard but once he kicked it he doesn't even want it anymore.

Speaking of documentaries, I watched the magic pill on Netflix. It was really eye opening and interesting.

starbuck, you can do it!!! waitwhat, we don’t have Netflix, what’s that documentary about? I taught Zumba this morning! It wasn’t bad, I messed up a few times but the girls said I did great! I’ll take that as a win! I woke up at 5am and did the whole thing twice! They liked that I had the whole set planned so no stopping. 59 minutes and 19 seconds of dancing!! 😱 May need a nap later but my toddler doesn’t want to nap (even though he needs it because he woke up early for him)! I’m a weigh everyday kinda gal and I’m only .5lbs from 40lbs gone forever!!! 15 weeks and 40lbs would be crazy! But official weigh in isn’t till tomorrow.

I've been within a couple pounds of the 40lb mark for a while now. I really, really want to reach it by the end of the month.

Good job Cheshie6!!! I hope you fly past that goal jubilantsquirrel! How’s yoga going this month? I really need to try it one day. Do you think a class is better than at home videos at first so that you can be corrected on form?

Do you think a class is better than at home videos at first so that you can be corrected on form? I personally like classes, but I think a video at home would be fine too! Especially if you have a mirror you do poses in front of so you can look to see if you're doing it right. I don't do yoga at home because all the kids and animals think it's playtime and climb all over me.

Cheshie6 So, I’ve really been into the Keto diet and the magic pill sort of explores that. It takes you around the world to different cultures and introduces a low carb lifestyle to people over a certain amount of time and then they follow up to see how it has affected their lives. One woman had cancer and introducing the diet actually shrunk her cancerous cells to the point it was practically gone. And another group was battling high blood pressure and diabetes and it practically cured it. The one I found very fascinating was a family who had a little girl who was non verbal and autistic and adapting that diet actually helped her to communicate. It was pretty cool. She was also bouncing off the walls and couldn’t sit still for long periods and she almost did like a 180 with that also. I feel like I have read something somewhere before about how what/gluten enhances ADHD or something. I should look into that because B’s Diet is super carb heavy and that kid cannot sit still. Obviously with anything, there’s going to be conflicting feelings about it and if you google there is some controversy with it. But it was very interesting nonetheless. Especially with all these food allergies it really makes you wonder what is going on with our food and what we put into our bodies.

I did it!! I hit exactly 40lbs gone forever today! NSV: I can fit into my “back up” ring. I refused to resize my engagement ring so I bought a Swarovski ring so I was wearing something. Then I got too big for that and I refused to buy a new back up ring. ETA: I’m in the last hole of my belt! It’s not even tight!!!

Take it out on your ILs on football Sunday starbuck . That energy’s gotta go somewhere lol. That’s amazing Cheshie6 !!!! I’m so proud of you, and more importantly so happy for you!!!! How you feeling about that cruise now?! waitwhat That’s so interesting! I wouldn’t have clicked on that movie bc there’s so many of those on Netflix right now. But reading your exerpt has me interested. I am kind of into the idea that a lot of what we put in our body or keep in our environment has an effect. Ironically enough, last night I was goin to share something and then got busy. But it’s that basically, I’ve had asthma my whole life. At times it’s been worse than other points. It’s a horrible feeling being a prisoner to life saving devices (my inhaler) - and you, know exactly what I mean. I have developed such an insecurity bc I never knew when my next asthma attack would hit, or where I’d be, who I’d be with - and came to carry my inhaler on me every second of every day. If I forgot it somewhere it gave me anxiety, pure dread. Getting sick usually meant complications with my asthma, so getting sick also gave me anxiety. All these years later I had my 4th anaphylactic episode. It was after that I got the diagnosis of food dependent exercise induced anaphylaxis. It was the first time I realized my food might actually have something to do with how my body responded to things. I started my Rx allergy pill and steroid inhaler regimen. It worked. Then I got pregnant. Although my meds shouldn’t have been an issue, it took me so long to get pregnant that I didn’t want to take any chances do I stopped taking them. At the same time I learned about VOCs. I am by no means a preacher, “you do you” is 100000% my mantra. But for me, eliminating certain things reaulted in such a HUGE HUGE difference in my life. Hence the whole no candles, nail polish (which I do get manicures, I just don’t use at home usually), dryer sheets, etc. I might eat my words some day, but since I eliminated those in February 2016, I’ve never had an asthma attack since. So. All that to say. I dig. And I have at least an open enough mind to consider that there might be some weight to all this stuff. ETA I want to add, I also modified my diet/exercise such that I don’t eat nightshades (thanks to you gals!) before/after working out +- 4 hours. So also lifestyle changes and stuff.

kleigh that is crazy! I’m so glad what you have found what works for you. That is super scary and I totally understand the anxiety inducing feeling of leaving home without your life saving device. I feel that way whenever I leave home without B’s epi (which hasn’t happened a lot but has happened before). I’m with you - whatever works for you, do it. Everyone in his world is different and things work some and things don’t work for some. But the fact so many kids have allergies and cancer is just spreading like crazy in our culture it makes me wonder what is going on.

How do you salmon starbuck ? I’ve only had it once and clearly the person who made it did me no favor... maybe too much olive oil or something.
