Wow Jane! Go prance in that bikini you gorgeous thang! Nice reward for your hard work. Isn't being in the sunshine the greatest motivator?

Well, so much for resting the wrist this weekend (which was the plan). I have worked my ass off outside and I think it would have been better to work out at the gym for my poor wrist! The weather was so great, so I got a ton of yard work done and screens put in, all sort of stuff. Busy, busy, busy! What a great weekend!
The only bad thing was that my eats were a bit off. Being so busy, I didn't get enough calories in (especially today). I'm going to try to make up for it some tonight.
And, my poor wrist is definitely not happy with me.
Jane, you look absolutely amazing. You look beautiful in your bikini. Have you been following TNT Plan A since January? I need to take your advice and crack down on my diet. I am very impressed with your results. Keep up the great work. You look beautiful.

Jane, you have my vote as the winner so far. you look fantastic. I am so proud of you and your progress (and a bit envious, lol).
TNT would totally drive me into food madness--I have done these plans before. any carb restriction inevitably sends me off into overcompensation eating and weight gain. I admire people who can do this for a period of time, then return to normal carbing and keep off the weight lost during low carb.
Jane!! You look hawt! Nice work. I hope to be even close to your losses by the time I hit month 3. Congratulations!!!!
Thanks much! You know, I really think that diet is key. Don't get me wrong, I've been just as diligent with my workouts and I've been working hard, but in the past, I've worked out hard. This time, zeroing in on the eats did it.

Yes, TNT compliant since January 1, with about 1 carb-up per month.

Well, all I can say is that it has worked for me. Slow and steady results, but it is happening, to be sure!

would love to know how you do it jane!!!
Thank you, Wendy! And, you already know I want your flat stomach, so perhaps a trade?
How did I do it? Well, I found that after the first couple of weeks, it just became a lifestyle for me. And, I had/have a goal and nothing was going to deter me. I found very good food to eat that was compliant and I haven't ever felt like I was doing without. For me, not having to track and count was a big thing. I hate that. I have been cognizant of what I am eating, however, and when progress seemed to slow, I re-evaluated and tweaked a bit. I've always known that carbs were difficult for me. I could go all day and just eat carbs.....bad!! As a lifestyle change, I will probably settle into carb cycling. Every 3rd and 4th day, perhaps. I have found that even in the last few months, when I have a carb-up day, it does seem to jump-start me to further progress. Plus, as I near my fat-loss goal, I will then want to be adding in more and more carbs, especially close to my workouts. I'll just be picking better one that in the past.
The bottom line for me is that I REALLY wanted it this time, and I knew nothing was going to stop me. I just made it happen.

Well, I wouldn't go that far, but it's pretty major that I even posted a pic of me in a bikini!
jane I want you to know that you are roooockin this challenge and i am so proud of you!! keep up the great work and enjoy your new pants...you've earned them!
I hate to whine in my log, but today was such a yuck day for me and I need to vent. This was the closest I have come to just totally blowing my good eating. As good as I feel about my progress, I just feel so overwhelmingly sad today. It's Spring, I'm feeling good about myself, the puppy is coming on Friday, and I just wish I had someone to share it all with. I'm just missing my ex (betraying ass that he was) and wishing he hadn't thrown away 23 years for such a stupid decision. This is the time of year when we used to have so much fun together. I feel like I will never have that again and that I will always be alone. Waaaah. I know I sound like big crybaby. I just can't help it today. And, my wrist still hurts.
I didn't have that Big Mac or that Ben and Jerry's Phish Food. I had a protein shake with frozen bananas instead. I guess that's something.
{{{{{{{{HUGS}}}}}}}}}}}}}} for Jane. I am really sorry that you are sad today, and am really proud of you for not cheating on yourself with the burger and ice cream.
Why not vent in your log. In the end we'll all be proud that you avoiding eating out of your emotions. From what I've seen here, I suspect you'll have that again and in the meantime... there's the puppy!
Oh crap, Jane. I am sorry you had a tough day and I am even more impressed with your dedication, because I most certainly would have turned to either food or a drink.
You will have someone to share the good times with. I can oonly imagine the drastic changes of being with someone for so long (ratbastard that he is and I am allowed to say that, because I care about you) and then for that all to change. The weather is clearing up and you will be meeting people and me thinks you will be fighting men off with a stick. I am picturing you and Gracie going for a walk and bam!
You will indeed find someone who truly values the strong, beautiful woman that you are. Hang in there.

Oh girl, I'm so totally with you. I was totally feeling that way last week. I hated the world and was so miserable. Just try to think that it will pass and that it's just a rough combo of hormones that it will all pass. Turning to food will only feel miserable, so good for you for not doing it!
i hope you feel better and I'm excited to see the puppy. It will totally keep you busy and keep your mind off of it! You better post some pics It is your log after all
Ahh Jane I'm sorry you're feeling sad. Don't feel bad for venting - we are here for you. I know you're not always going to be alone. You are sweet, funny, smart, successful and super hot! Like Ginger said, you are going to be fighting off the men and then you can weed out the crappy ones and find a good one. Also, having had pets all my life, I know Sophie is going to make you feel so much better. It sounds goofy, but the unconditional love you get from a pet can be really comforting.
You should be very proud of yourself for resisting the lure of Ben & Jerry! And Ms. Sophie is guaranteed to bring you joy! And, to steal shamelessly from Ginger....
