Committment Thread to lose weight

[Penni60 45]

Today's plan accomplishment:

I will follow my Nutrisystem meal plans. (On track so far. SIGH!!)

I will exercise for a minimum of 20 min a day 4 days a week. (None so far but the day is still young.)

I will lose at least 1 lb a week. ( Will see come Friday how this is going )

I will drink at least 64 ounces of Water a day. (easy peasy - got it in)

Positive reinforcement mantras:

I cannot continue to eat unhealthy and expect to lose weight.

I cannot continue to not exercise and expect to lose weight.

I cannot continue to buy pills, buy exercise equip, etc then not use them and expect to lose weight.

I cannot continue to feel sorry for myself because I do not have the band anymore.

So far today:

I will walk a minimum of 1/2 mile on my dreadmill every day. (Done!)

I will drink 64 oz. of Water every day. (Done)

I will take on one achievable project in my house per day. (Done! Did laundry and started cleaning out closets.)

I will NOT sit on my arse all day doing nothing but fighting head hunger out of pure boredom! (I'm doing great in this area. Feels so good to think about more things than food and being online!)

I will NOT eat while doing distracting things, which causes me to eat too quickly and not chew well. (I'm about to give up on this. Bleh)

Today is going to be a real challenge for me. For the last week and a half, I have had company - friends and family - around me, keeping me busy and on the go. Today I decided I wanted to be alone and called for a "Me" day. The hard part will be getting up off my arse and doing something. When I'm alone, it's like I freeze up. I can think of a million things that need to be done around the house, and yet I just sit here on the computer, zoning out and letting the day go by. I did this for an entire year last year and I'm sick of it. I don't want to have to rely on others to get me off my duff. So, today Im going to add a few things to my goal list to try and motivate myself into doing them:

1. Shower, hair, manicure, paint nails, do makeup. (didnt do, family showed up)

2. Shred at least one bag full of old bills and papers from my desk. (didnt do *sighs*)

3. Wash all bedding in the house, even stuff in closets (to freshen things up a bit) done!

Typical daily stuff:

I will walk a minimum of 1/2 mile on my dreadmill every day. (didnt do, ankle is hurting )

I will drink 64 oz. of Water every day. (done)

I will take on one achievable project in my house per day. (Did one thing only, I guess that's good.)

I will NOT sit on my arse all day doing nothing but fighting head hunger out of pure boredom! (Did well.)

I will NOT eat while doing distracting things, which causes me to eat too quickly and not chew well. (Did sort of ok)

I have never tried nutrisystem or the prepackaged foods, but I bet its well worth it already done for you...that is the hard part for me!!!

A friend on here uses the unflavored whey Protein powder in her mashed potatoes and says she cant taste it at all.

Here is the list of Vitamins I'm taking:

1 - chewable Centrum Daily

1 - E 400 units

2 - Chewable Calcium 600 mg each (carbonate - look in the ingredients to be sure its carbonate - one per Breakfast and lunch)

3 - Chewable C 500 mg each (one per breakfast, lunch, dinner)

Today: Spent the entire day out with girlfriends. Had a blast.

I will walk a minimum of 1/2 mile on my dreadmill every day. (didnt do, ankle still sore. but was very active all day in other ways)

I will drink 64 oz. of Water every day. (done)

I will take on one achievable project in my house per day. (Vacuumed!)

I will NOT sit on my arse all day doing nothing but fighting head hunger out of pure boredom! (Did very well.)

I will NOT eat while doing distracting things, which causes me to eat too quickly and not chew well. (Dang it. I'm so frustrated with myself. I should be able to sit in quiet and eat. But I hate eating in silence. I hate eating alone, so I come on here and read while I eat. I know I eat too fast because Im distracted. I could really use some help in this area.)

Today: Ok, I think my friends have decided I shouldn't be left alone. I spent the entire day out with my girlfriends again. Had a wonderful time.

I will walk a minimum of 1/2 mile on my dreadmill every day. (I walked 2 miles outside. Went through a walk-through museum of sorts. Beautiful gardens, whimsical statues, prayer gardens.. the entire place was Christian focused and so cool!)

I will drink 64 oz. of Water every day. (done)

I will take on one achievable project in my house per day. (I made the bed. *snickers* I was gone all day.)

I will NOT sit on my arse all day doing nothing but fighting head hunger out of pure boredom! (Did very well again!)

I will NOT eat while doing distracting things, which causes me to eat too quickly and not chew well. (I did much better today!)

I faltered some this week with the diet. I do really good for Breakfast and lunch then it goes to hell in a hand basket for supper. I just go crazy.

I will be happy to just not have gained any this week. I am actually afraid to get on the damn scales tomorrow. SIGH!!

PS: I think Susan and I are the only ones that are using this Committment Thread. LOL!!

Doesn't matter to me cause it is keeping me accountable. LOL!!

[PhotoNut 7]

*laughs* I think you're right, Penni, and it's doing wonders for me too! I shared the idea with the Gone for Good Club and am encouraging them to use that thread much the same as this one. You'll probably be hearing me asking you to wipe out some posts when the thing starts growing. And you should join us. Sweet folks that are all doing really well, very determined not to make excuses for themselves. Refreshing
