Motivation

Ok I am 15 lbs down and I am trying to get another 15lbs gone by August 10th. I have made a wager with my hubby that if I loose 30 lbs by the first day of our cruise he will buy me a piece of jewlery in St. Thomas. Now I am getting nervous that I will not do it - I really want some jewlery!!!!!

Starting Yoga today again - we were on a 2 week hiatis - and now we are doing this full force for the next 7 weeks. I love Yoga - I feel like a whole different person when I am done taking a class. Unfortunatly just like everything else - it costs money. God I would love to have a private instructor every day for Yoga but I cannot afford that. It stinks how much things are. Maybe if I wasn't doing JC I would be able to afford $100 a month for Yoga classes - but for now I can only swing once a week and then try and do it on my own from home - Its never the same though. I hate when I don't have enough money to do what I want. I guess I should be happy I am even able to swing JC - some people cannot.

Other than that I am just sitting here still flying from the Sopranos finale last night - me and my boss here are a few of the true believers that thought it was great!!!! Between talking about the Sopranos and trying to figure out how to get tickets to the next Bon Jovi concert without paying for them - my day has been very full...........HA HA     Talk to you all later!!

Hi

Aren't positive reinforcements great?! I hope you get that jewelry! Throw in extra exercise wherever you can, like stand up in front of your TV and march while watching the Sopranos reruns!

on that loss of 2lbs. it just comes to show that whoever said dieting and alcohol dont go together were wrong! i agree with Bridget on getting that extra moving in there. maybe try the Walk Away The Pounds dvd. i just started using it and i think its great. positive reinforcement is a good thing, keep up the good work and you will have that jewlery. *if you lose more than 15, maybe you can get a little something to match what you pick out ;-)*

Go Jersey Girl!

Hi there--

I just wanted to tell you how much I've enjoyed reading your blog. I'm new to EP (and New Jersey) and also have more than 100 lbs to lose, so it's nice to read about your challenges and successes.

In reading some of your old posts, I saw that you were struggling with how to do JC on vacation. You may want to try Weight Watchers if you haven't already. I've been doing it since Jan and find it really easy to incorporate into my life. I can still go out to eat, it teaches me portion control and I don't ever feel deprived. Plus, it's cheaper ($40 a month for the pass which gives you online access to recipes and tons of online tools--my favorites are the meal planner and the recipe converter. You can input your favorite traditional family recipe and find out how many points it is.)

Take care!
