OFFICIAL WOMEN'S 2009 FALL CHALLENGE - DAILY THREAD
OK, here's our daily thread to chat about the 2009 Fall Challenge. If you have any questions, need to vent, or just want to chat, this is the place to do it.
To make things simpler I had the old thread switched with this one, which will now be a sticky at the top of the page (thanks Roland). All general chat about the challenge should go here.
I'm just so impressed with how eager everyone is. It's fantastic!
I wasn't suggesting that you needed an early picture. I just meant that if people can post between Sep 1-8 then posting a picture from the 1st would give you a week's head start.
Anne, once we've all posted our pics and stats (8th Sept), will those of us with logs in the 'The Training Log' section then have them moved to this section?

Yep. The plan is (and I'm keeping track) on September 9th to ask one of the mods to move them. I'll warn you ladies that the 9th is an early morning for me (up at 6am, gone by 7am) so although I may confirm the official list of entrants in the morning before I leave, I likely won't get that email sent until after school (~4pm).
Okay, I have something to discuss...I dreamt about food last night, cake and frosting to be exact. I don't think I dream about food regularly. I still can taste it in my mouth. Do you think I'm doomed for the day, should I eat cake for breakfast or plow on through. How do I get that image out of my head.
And yes, this is kind of serious and goofy at the same time.
I saw a show once that suggested you mentally picture 'bad foods' crawling with worms and such. ie. negative reinforcement
That seemed a little extreme, but who knows. Other people will picture their eventual goal and tell themselves that cake isn't going to help them get there.
I was going to say 'try and work some in', but that may not work for a lot of people. Since I usually take a diet break every 12 weeks (well, that's the plan) I usually promise myself that I can have it on my next maintenance break. By the time it comes around I rarely bother. The last option is to make cake (this assumes that you have the mental strength to freeze most of it). I tend to lighten up any recipes that I've made in the past.

This isn't as rich, and uses protein powder, and has no frosting. It's made in a 9x13 pan and when cut into 24 pieces... only 78 calories, with 7g protein. I often have a piece at night with a piece of fruit as an evening snack.

Then again... these both sound great! *bookmarked* Gonna have to check out your other recipes too.

No you are not doomed. It is perfectly normal to have these dreams. It is also suggested and encouraged that once a week you have a "cheat meal" in your case have a piece of cake after dinner would serve as a great cheat. Cake for breakfast is not a bad thing if that is the meal of the week you choose to cheat on. The HUGE thing to remember is to get right back to your correct eating. Hope this helps!!

All I know is, that i used to feel a little guilty for 'sex dreams' and now I feel guilty for 'food dreams'
Does that mean we are getting old?
Now a sex dream and you are like 'oh maybe, I burned a few extra calories last night, with an active dream' LOL

See, I had a crazy sex dream last night, but it wasn't with my husband. I wonder if I should picture the man with worms on him to get the craving out of my mind?
Well what was a struggle with food yesterday hasn't been an issue at all. I guess I didn't have food dreams. I would love a few good sex dreams though.
Just back from the gym and I had a good long workout. Did legs and then cardio. Came home, had a protein shake, and now I have that real mellowed out feeling. I love how that feels.
Oopsie, I need help Anne! My measurements are screwed up and not correct. I had a friend take them at the gym and have no idea where she got some of the numbers, such as 19" for my thigh (try 21.5'") It is probably 19" somewhere between the top of my leg and my knee, but definitely not repeatable! Is there a way I can delete the original photo/stats post and put in a new one? Or edit the existing one? I want the right numbers in there for progress tracking. Thanks!

I think it would be easier to post the changes (don't bother reposting the pictures). It's not a big deal, but I can't delete a post for you, or edit one.
I have been trying to post my link to my log in my signature, but with my own text and can't get it to work. I followed the instructions you had posted in someones log, but I still can't seem to get it right. Any other tips or hints with what I may be doing wrong?
Delete what's there now, type in what you want it to say first. Then highlight the text and click the little globe with the link icon. Paste your log html in there and click okay. I think it was probably LisaS who corrected me somewhere along the way (as I wasn't doing it that way myself).
I added a signature link back to my log, and it doesn't seem to display on previous posts I made. Is there something else I need to do? I'm writing this new post in hopes that maybe it will show up on posts I make after I do the signature. .
I just previewed this post, and yes, it appears. I'm happy now!
