Damn the winter & the holidays!!

I stepped on the scale this morning...and I actually gained 7lbs. Which I am not surprised about much.

So now I really do have to get to the gym. Anyone needs a walking partner? I'm going to try to hit the gym every Mon, Wed & Fri and then walk for at least a mile or 2 every other day!

I decided to start this week instead of waiting for the New Years Resolution rush crowd. And I already cut out my sugar and fat intake (that's right Leslie, no more dessert!!)

Anyone with me on this?? I feel like I'm sitting on pounds of blubber.

What about cutting your carbs?

Not completely - but honestly, you can lose up to 15 pounds easily w/cutting out carbs (restricting them to your first meal) and doing the same for dairy (I know, I know - CHEESE)...

Carbs include - fruits and some veggies...

I did the South Beach diet, and I was most successful with it. In two weeks, I shed that water weight and kept it off.

I know...dinner is the toughest meal to be good with. I might just go back to what I used to do which was sticking to lean chicken, seafood and lean meat.

Dinner's tough, but it's worth it if you're unhappy.

Don't eat late either!

Definately cut your carbs & the intake of processed sugars...This is the diabetic diet & it really works...I lost 20lbs doing it! I have hence put back on 5lbs but I plan on getting back into it full swing after the holiday eating!!!

Exercise is key...my mom & I walk 2 miles a day after work!

Commack / Smithtown

Yea... I've been feeling like I'm gaining weight too. At least you were brave enough to face the scale!!
I live in Commack, where were you planning on walking? Its so cold out.

Marlo was talking about the track by Kings Park HS.

There's a few tracks by schools in the area, I just can't remember where!!

There's one at Commack HS..
What school is near Janna?

Janna, there is a HS track right down the block from you!! i live right down the block from you and I can go after work!!

I was told by my landlord it's behind my house, and I still have yet to see it!!

Maybe I'll check when I go home after work.

Jaime, Lauren, are you guys down for walking behind my house?

Maybe we can pick a time/location and make it a standing date and whomever shows up walks, whomever doesn't eats munchkins and watches T.V.

I know Kerie would be down (ssdbk)

Maybe 2 days a week in KP and 2 days a week in Commack?

)I would be up for it, but I don't think I would make it home in time. I usually get home around 6:30.. If we went on the weekends, then definitely! (as long as its after my classes at the gym

I think 6:30 would be easiest for everyone. There are days I don't get home until 6 depending on traffic.

So what do you guys think? During the week we can meet at 6:30, on the weekends we can meet at say 2pm.

Jesus...Im like a balloon...I seriously have to start dieting...I hear what you're saying though...all I want to do is EAT...meanwhile I have to order my dress
