***Getting Back On Track***

[Jill]

All this chit-chat in my journal-I feel so popular

Steve is on his second box of oranges-they are tiny cute and real tasty. Ive only had a couple in total-I dont feel guilty whatsoever cause thery are healthy They may not taste better than chocolate (thanks for the candy reminder simbh you little bugger )

No work today! Getting ready to go train back and cardio Then i have to get my car looked at-some friggin service light is on. Oh and get a bunch of junk from wallymart, and I may go to the mall and get some x-mas shopping done

Good morning Jill, hope you enjoy you day off... beware of those crazy Christmas shoppers they're already starting to get a bit frisky.

Hi Jill

How was your shopping adventure today? Did you get anything good?
Oh, yes, I meant to ask you. You mentioned in one of your posts that you use PVL vanilla protien powder, that's what I'm using right now too, totally love the stuff. Have you tried the peanut butter chocolate oneby PVL? I just ordered a chocolate peanut butter one online that Velvet recommended to me, it's called Perfect Whey, but I can get the PVL protien powder at GNC (they're just out of the choc/peanut butter one right now) I was just wondering what it tastes like.

Good morning Jill Dawling What's the plan for today?

 

[Jill]

KC-The only PVL whey gourmet I have right now is straw/banana, and raspberry. I have had several flavors, except I find their protein has a lot of 'fillers' Currently Im using Iso Xp, and love it!!!

Got some xmas shopping done yesterday-Steve is spoiled let me tell you Am I nuts to spend $250 on 1 pair of jeans?? And thats only a small part of his gifts

Ok...I need help peeps. Friggin help. I ate like SHIT again yesterday....Lets not even talk about what I ate I feel like a failure these last few fucking days. I need to do something NOW. I sware someone could pop me with a pin right now I need to be in a bathing suit in 5.5 weeks...aggggggg. Maybe a new journal or something??? Is it even friggin possible to achieve any fat loss with christmas around the fucking corner?

Supposed to do armies, but changed to leggies this am-I have plenty of carbies in my system to fuel my workout

Jill,

You know it is possible I have done it so I know you can. As a matter of fact when I started all this clean eating and exercise stuff it was Nov. just before thanksgiving.

start fresh today and don't beat yourself up

Exactly! 5.5 weeks is a long time, and don't forget you're retaining water from the crap you ate so you'll drop that weight in a few days of eating clean. You know you can do it...we know you can do it and, yes, I think a new journal would be like having a fresh start and a new outlook! Anyhooo, where are you going in 5.5 weeks?? Can I come????

 

[ncgirl21]

Don't feel bad Jillie, I ate like shit Thursday through Sunday, maybe you just need a little mental break. I knew I was going to take Thanksgiving weekend off though so I didn't feel bad about doing so. I'll do the same the weekend of Christmas- Friday through Monday will be time off in my book. It probably helped you too, strict dieting is hard on your body all the time.

$250 on one pair of jeans!! They better be dipped in Platinum!!!!!!! I've never payed more than $140 for a pair (Abercrombie) and I absolutly LOVED those jeans so it was worth it. Usually I just spend $50-100 a pair. But those are girl jeans so I'm not sure about guys, I would assume about the same amount. But, I'm talking US funds too. But, you love Steve so I'm sure he's worth it.

Hey- try this: mix together the PB and sour cream like usual. Add in some SF cocoa powder and a pack of splenda. Then mix in 1/2 cup of puffed wheat or puffed rice cereal (about 25 cals for 1/2 a cup) or you could use the Puffed Kashi. Mix it together really good, roll in a ball on wax paper, stick in the freezer until it's not hot anymore and it's hard. Eat!! It's like a healthy rice krispie treat.

Hey Jill,

Sorry your eating hasn't been where you want it to be. It is possible to lose over Christmas. I did last year. Just don't buy any of the candy. There's a great and inspirational article in the new Oxygen that you should read. It's called "take another look" and is on page 58. Take a deep breath and relax. Yes, you ate bad and yes you feel like crap about it. But you can change it now. Forgive yourself for the bad eating days, and start on a new ball. I don't think starting a new journal will help, this is all in your head sweetie. If you just get one good eating day down you'll feel so much better. The bloat will start to dissapear and you'll feel better about yourself. Maybe you should do some reading in the books that helped you in the past. I had a rough thanksgiving break myself, it's so hard to find a middle way between "I need to relax and enjoy some treats" and "How the hell could I let myself go like this, I'm a worthless piece of fat". I know exactly how you're feeling Jill, but you need to remember that you're a beautiful and wonderful human being. What you weigh is not who you are (this I've been working hard on realising lately). We really need to relax and realise how beautiful we are, it's when we have this peace we can enjoy life, eat healthy and be the best we can be

Start over today. Take a deep breath, relax, make peace with yourself I'm here if you need to talk, I'm struggling with the same things

Awesome post

She's right Jill- both you and Jenny are amazingly gorgeous and most girls would kill to look like either one of you so dust it off and start fresh!!

 

[GoalGetter]

Hey Jill,

Sorry your eating hasn't been where you want it to be. It is possible to lose over Christmas....

Yeah, what she said.

Come on, Jilly.

It's not the end of the world. The holidays are tough to diet through. You're a strong girl.

If you get a flat tire on a road trip, you don't cancel the road trip, you fix the flat and keep driving, right? So fix that flat!

 

[simbh]

You can do it Jill... Think big ! (sloagan of a pupolar movie here in quebec) or is it small ?

Don't worry , youre not alone in this . Picture a guy whos at university and his exams are almost over and then comes xmas. So , parties , parties and food in short . But Im so focused on my goal , I dont mind being sober when all my friends are drunk . In short , if I can do it , Im sure you can do it Jill

If you need a new journal to get you going , go for it !

Oh ya , just a quick question like that . What color is your hair right now ? Blond or brown ?

Oh , maybe red and green for Xmas ?

 

[greekblondechic]

Take a look at how far you've come, both physically and mentally, and then tell me you are a failure. You are quite the success my dear, you have to realize this in order to continue succeeding! Bloat goes away EASY. Get on that treadie and sweat it off princess, you are doing just fine, we all overate for the past few days-week.. but it's ok, no actual harm done.

 

[bulletproof1]

Ok...I need help peeps. Friggin help. I ate like SHIT again yesterday....Lets not even talk about what I ate I feel like a failure these last few fucking days. I need to do something NOW.

im replying to everything except steve and his fuckin jeans

its so obvious jill needs me to calm her ass down
so you ate like shit a couple days ... big deal. i ate so many friggin cals last week the calculator wouldnt even compute it all. sure i felt guilty for a while but who cares? i just keep my goals in mind and look at the cheats as sanity breaks. 1 meal or 1 day doesnt ruin a whole week. every moment is a new beginning.

 

[greekblondechic]

And one week doesn't ruin a whole month, and one month doesn't ruin a whole year, and so on!!!!!! Put it into perspective girlie!

 

[naturaltan]

Oh , maybe red and green for Xmas ?

I'm the only one who does the seasonal hair thing

 

[naturaltan]

Morning Jill

 

[simbh]

I'm the only one who does the seasonal hair thing

Maybe I should let my beard grow and (I dont know how to spell this , I know it sounds just like die) change it from black to white Santy claus

Hi Jill
Thanks for the info re: PVL. didn't notice it was loaded with fillers, perhaps I'll stick with the Perfect Whey I just ordered.
I started eating crap Friday night at my girlie get together and haven't stopped! If you noticed I have no meal plans posted in my journal for the last 4 days because I'm too disgusted with myself to put down what I've been eating. So depressing, I know, but it's just a little set back. We'll get back on track. I'm freaking out about Christmas coming too, so many temptations around and so many places to go and people to see, there's just no escaping it. I guess it's up to us to measure some self control (as hard as it is). My best friend is coming in for two weeks so I know that's going to be another thing to worry about, more going out, more drinking opportunities, more dinner parties. AHHHH! I feel your frustration. We can do it. We'll help eachother, okay? That's what we're here for At least we're still getting our asses to gym

 

[Jill]

I dont even know where to start.....Thanks to each and everyone one of you who entered my journal today. So many of you, so much love. I really dont know how I can thank all of you. I dont think its possible

Reading some of these lasts post brought me to tears. I dont think I am mad at myself for eating bad, just at the fact i lost control Today is a new day....I have been in a pissy cranky mood allllll day I think I am tired at food running my life....I need to now think hard at how I want to change.

Somedays without all ya here at IM I dont know what Id do. Thanks Tomorrow is a new day.

 

[Jill]

Sim, my hair is naturally brown, I have a tonne of different colored highlights in it

Awww , its so hard to keep track of girl's hair colour ... It gets me so confused.

It was my pleasure to give you a big ! , especially to a beautifull girl like yourself

 

[dalila]

hey there Jill, you look great babes, don't let some stupid candy tempt you to get off the track. Like you said it yourself, nothing tastest as good as looking good feels!! Always remember that.

And I don't think you should start a new journal, it would mean that everytime you went a little off the road it was a big mistake and it required starting anew. And it's not, it's just life, some days you'll be great and some days not so great, but as long as you are great most of the times, that's great! Hahahah Now go ahead and hit me on the head for saying great so many times!

 

[simbh]

Like tony the tiger would say , they're greeeeeeeeeeaaaaaaaaaaaatt

 

[sara]

Maybe a new journal or something??? Is it even friggin possible to achieve any fat loss with christmas around the fucking corner?

[Jill]

YES!!!!! If Im working on it, so can you Remember this, we dont need to treat ourselves this christmas with food

[sara]

[simbh]

Dont worry Jill , most of us here want to keep a good line even during Xmas , youre not alone in this

Oh ya , I just read something today while I was taking my bath in mens health. They say that people who feel guilty about not going to the gym or eating something wrong are less likely to do eat it or more likely to go to the gym ... Having said that , I recommend to use it with precaution. Always leave place for a little treat of course . Its nothing new to me , but it could help you.
