Four Weeks of Accountability

[Erik]

Ok, so let's do it! Who's in?

Four weeks at 100%. Today was my Day 1 so I'm three meals in. I remember last year the difference four weeks at 100% made for me relative to four weeks at 90-95% - very significant.

So I figure I'll START it out this way instead of finishing it out this way.

[chrysalis1]

Hi been a long time since I have been here but I'll do it too. Actually on day 3.
Been keeping a journal in my food log so that I write about what is going on with me when I want to go off plan.

Working on changing my actions of eating off plan by stopping and looking at why . Carry it everywhere, I mean every where.:o

Soo.. I'm in

Just have to get used to feeling hungry sometimes......

[mcv]

I. AM. IN.

:grin:

[chrysalis1]

Morning all

Refeed tomorrow, planned . Are carmel mini rice cakes ok? I mean because of the sugar.Other carbs oatmeal, sweet potato mixed vegs. Want to stay on that type of vein because the other stuff (:popcorn: bagels, baked chips, ice cream etc) triggers my addictive eating.

Including the mini rice cakes i have about 220g carbs planned. Weight @167, 5'9" last weigh in.

[Erik]

Three of us? Really?

Boy this is sad.

:lol3:

Well I wanted to be in but not half-assed in so I didn't sign up. :lol: I'm traveling for work next week and there will be some off plan eating. Other than that I'm in.

[Jenifer]

Count me in :)

[TigerEyes]

Well I'm in! But I think that's a given....
or at least it should be. But I've come to learn nothing is ever a given with me, LOL.

Any on-plan cheats allowed?

Cause you do know Super Bowl day is soon. :hamster: :cheat:

I think so - my plan has one weekly cheat allotted. So that is still "on plan" in my book!

Ok then I'm really considering doing this. :scared: It's been more than a year since my last 4 weeks straight on plan. :oops: I've managed to quasi-maintain though (and even lost some during the holidays) and I'm only a couple of lbs away from goal; 4 weeks straight of no messing around would definitely take care of that.

If I decide to go for it, I will start this Friday and go 30 days through Feb 19.

Hi Guys - I'm definatley in I want to compete again this year so I definately need to adhere to my diet 100% instead of finding exuses just to try one little extra thing!!!!!

[kirstny]

Yikes. Got on the scale.

Day 1!

My goals:

1500-1800 cals/day (start higher and see what happens to weight)
3 weights workouts a week (start New Rules for Abs next week?)
3 cardio (1 is spin, 1 is intervals, 1 is easy--AND follow lifting with light cardio?)

[chrysalis1]

I really like apple cinnamon tea or vanilla chai.

I'm still in! Lol.

FAT today. NO MORE!

Sticking to 1650 cals today. No workout (still feel crappy and too tired), but will workout tomorrow.

[IlPirata]

Um I'm on day two :)

[Erik]

Easy peasy.

[chrysalis1]

I am either out or on day 1 again. I got pissed off last night at how jacked up my picture looked yesterday and went off plan:oops:. As hard as I have been working out and I look that f'd up, so I said f it and ate.

Spilled over to this am and i am starting back now . Whether still in or out I am back on track.

Right back on the wagon!!!!



Had my scheduled cheat (Chinese) last night and right back on plan this a.m.
:grin:

Just a few days on plan and I feel the groove coming back!

[chrysalis1]

thanks:o

[IlPirata]

Easy peasy.

Uh... so are you gonna post us a MEAN picture or what?

[kirstny]

Uh... so are you gonna post us a MEAN picture or what?

:yeahthat:

Down 2.2lbs. since day 1! Wheee!
Sticking around 1650 and feeling good. No workouts yet (earbuds are broken and it's hard to get motivated without music! lol. and still not feeling 100%).
First workout tomorrow!

Happy Friday everyone!:wave:

[Erik]

100%

[kirstny]

Yikes. Got on the scale.

Day 1!

My goals:

1500-1800 cals/day (start higher and see what happens to weight)
3 weights workouts a week (start New Rules for Abs next week?)
3 cardio (1 is spin, 1 is intervals, 1 is easy--AND follow lifting with light cardio?)

Still in and on track with my caloric goals. And down 3.8lbs! Wow! It's gotta be the gluten...?

Not meeting my exercise goals. Have not worked out since before vacation! Lost my shuffle and earbuds and didn't want to workout without them (and not feeling so good from eating crap on vacation). Lol.

Spin class today.

Everyone surviving the weekend?

[mcv]

Still in over here!! Weekends are easiest for me.

[kirstny]

Still in over here!! Weekends are easiest for me.

Awesome! Why do you find weekends to be the easiest...?

[mcv]

Awesome! Why do you find weekends to be the easiest...?

Well - when I am not working, they are the easiest. I am in complete control of my schedule on the weekends. During the week I have less control over when and where I eat during the work day (depending on who I am having lunch with) and more things that have to get accomplished.

For the same reasons I find it really easy to stick with my plan on vacation - zero obligations frees me up to exercise when I want for however long I want and to make food choices with only me in mind.

Downtime has never meant mindless eating to me though.

Interesting. I generally do better on weekdays.

Still 100% here! Did sprints today.

Really wanted to buy my "ice cream" today, but I resisted! Keeping cals under 1800.

[kirstny]

How's everyone doing?

I'm feeling great! Down 3.2lbs. in 1 week (bloat, but so what, it feels good!).

:wave:

[glassmmam]

Ok - I'm here ... working on maintenance, as I'm not "dieting" yet. BUT brownies, baked goods and extra servings were getting out of hand in the past couple of weeks - WTHeck man!?!?!

ANyhoooo - Been ON PLAN since Monday and feeling better already :) Making cleaner choices and reminding myself that dinner is not a pig out session.

Tonight will be heavy on fat, our scout group is working a church dinner - homemade Corned Beef and all the fixins :cheat: So my daytime menu will be very low fat to save up for it :)

Saturday into Sunday will be somewhat out of my control also. We are winter camping in a big group. Others are supplying the food, but I will have some of my own stuff (hopefully gluten free)

AFTER that, things are in my own control for long while! :)

Good Luck Everyone!!!

How did I miss this? :funny:

[Firm Hottie]

I'm late to the party, but I'm in! I've been pretty good, but not good enough. That ended yesterday, when I got back on the wagon. :hamster:

[Erik]

I was off on the weekend, given I was out of town, but I'm back on this week.

Might take a cheat for SuperBowl Sunday, but other than than it's 30 days at 100% with none.

[sneezingstardust]

Late, but in on this. :)

[Erik]

Easy week so far.

[Amy]

Day 3 for me :D

[Sammy]

Okay - I've been MIA for a while :wave: but I'm in starting today. Planned cheat on valentines day but that's it.

3 meals down....

[Erik]

100% day.

[JanineM]

Well since, I am a newbie and I am only on my second week, Unless Erik gives me the go ahead. I'll be in for the next 2.5 weeks with you all :)
