SoWell on Sowal

hey nay nay and all - way to go!!!:clap_1:

let me know how you like Bob Greene's new book. I read his first book several years ago and he's just a good common sense kind of guy, no gimmicks. I found him to be motivating for me, but he didn't lay out a detailed diet in that book, which I need and like.

nay nay - that wellbutrin works pretty quick - it tells your mouth that that ciggy tastes like sheeeit.

I am so proud of you all - truly!

hello dear!! good to hear from you!!
I understand you're dining with a good friend of mine tonight. wish I could be there too!!
will let you know how I like the book...i think you're right, he seems pretty logical about it all.
i'm doubling my dose of the wellbutrin tomorrow. then they probably will really taste like sheeeit. let's hope so anyway. it was funny today, it just kinda struck me all the sudden.
today has been a hard day at work, we've lost a couple of our residents--never an easy thing for us. so...right now a smoke's soundin' pretty good, but hopefully, it won't taste as good as I think it will!!
thanks for your words of encouragement....they always mean a lot.

:clap_1: :clap_1: Hero of the day!!
3.8 lbs!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Yippee!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I've been bad. It's been crappy weather, so I've been cooking/eating No excuse.
I did watch Oprah with Bob Greene on Monday and got kinda motivated to at least check out his new diet book. You can get it free at Tom Thumb if you buy $50 worth of the foods he recommends. Some of the success stories were pretty inspiring.
Today was the first day since I started taking the Wellbutrin that I just for a fleeting moment thought, "this cigarette tastes like sheeeeeit". Maybe there's something to it...my quit day is Feb 14.
OL--keep it up!! YOU are inspiring!! Good girl!!! :clap_1: :clap_1:

Thanks DD I'm trying! Haven't added the exercise part in yet! I wish it wasn't so cold outside, I love to walk. Well no, that was a lie- I can tolerate walking. ;-) I need to start back with my pilates dvd also. I bought some thera-bands for Sam but I may start using those myself. She uses them to strenghthen her feet and legs for ballet. I'll use them to tone. I guess that will be my goal for next week because my day if full tomorrow and we're leaving for an indoor waterpark on Friday. Actually I'll probably get plenty of exercise lugging innertubes up the stairs. :clap_1: Maybe I'll hit the work out room at the resort. I'm sure I'll need to work off a few extra points this weekend. My friend said she was bringing her chocolate fountain. :shock:

Step away from the chocolate fountain!!
I know, the exercise is so tough. I'm like you, walking is about all I really can tolerate. Of course, if I'd lose 30 lbs, I might like doing something else. I had great success about 10 years ago with weight training...lost a bunch of sizes pretty quick.
Have a wonderful trip!!

OL:clap_1: :clap_1: That is awesome!!


DD - What a wonderful gift to yourself!! You will succeed.

As for me I need to abandon this thread. I cannot remember a time when I have had less desire and willpower..... and it is not as if I look good! Just sent my girl off to study abroad and she won't return until late May. I am excited that she has this opportunity, but miss chatting or texting. SO what do I do........you guessed!! Eat and flip channels. Not a good way to live. Maybe reading each of your successes will inspire me.

Keep going strong!!

Awwwww, iw, don't abandon us!! I understand your sadness over your daughter leaving. I still miss mine and she lives 15 miles away. I don't know what I'd do if she went that far away! But, keep checking on us and we'll try to help you through this difficult time in your life. Maybe you could just try to do ONE thing...like drinking more water. Listen to me...I hate water ..but you know what I mean. We love you and need you here!

Thanks....water is not my issue....I honestly drink a 2-3 quarts a day! Quantity of food and lack of exercise are my issues coupled with a crappy attiude. Just another valley to get through!

BRAVO :clap_1: to each of you, y'all are doing great.
IWIWT, what an opportunity for your daughter. I know you will miss her, but you can e-mail her every day. :idea: I have an idea . . . you could surprise her when she returns home in May with a new buffed body. Of course you can't tell her this, but it will give you something to focus on in the meantime.
