Healthy Pony Summer Edition! And We're Off! Come Join Us:)

YEAH! Yeah I am totally bombing at my goals for this one....sigh I am so addicted to junk food

[Nohpny]

My grandpa keeps making so much food. Gahhhhhh. But so yummy~

[SourdoughStomper]

Well, I went ahead and started my elimination diet anyway. Three days ago.

I toned down on the eggs and dairy for awhile, even while not giving them up completely. I guess it was enough to discover a sensitivity because a few nights ago I had a big plate of scrambled eggs and a small bit of ice cream (not even 1/2 half a cup's worth). I was sick all the next morning.

So I'm dived all the way in now and going through a "detox" effect. I removed toxins in the form of phytic acid and lectins, preservatives, additives, sweeteners (even though I didn't get carried away on that last). I've got to grit my teeth through the unpleasant detoxing until I find sweet relief on the other side. I had a similar experience when I gave up wheat and grains. Mostly I keep getting headaches and tiredness.

Big hugs sounds like alot! Today I felt like a cow...junk food sneak this whole week and I have seen the tacked on Pudge and sad feeling....no more! I will break my addiction.

I hope the detox gets easier.

[Nohpny]

SDS - I hope that what you're doing helps alot. It doesn't sound to pleasant but the outcome should be great.

I took today and yesterday to clean my room. I hope I can maintain it. I changed my point system to have two rest days from my violin and use the rest days as an effort to prevent being lazy.

[Crowning_Glory13]

There are no rules of changing your goals or point system. Its about you become the better pony:)

I am making adjustments too! We will be starting soon!!!

[SourdoughStomper]

I don't have headaches today, so maybe I'm almost done "detoxing."

[Nohpny]

Crowning - Have you tried chewing a sugarless gum when you have the urge to eat junk food?

SDS - Yay!

[Crowning_Glory13]

I tried the gum thing but it just feels icky...not a huge fan of gum. I have tried to have random snacks(healthy) and water to curb it...but nothing has helped.

Today I did grab a constant carver junk food of mine. I have vowed that today will be the last day I buy any extra junk. I will break this. For each day I do not have an extra I will add money/points to get my hair cut and dyed. I know saving money by not eating junk to put towards hair. Sounds counter productive. I have talked with my husband and he is ok with the hair cut and dye. So now I am making it a treat:) I plan to go at least 2 or more weeks to get my hair done:) 

[AngelBlue]

Okay, I'm in again!

I'll try and be better this time!

I need to loose 21lbs (3lbs down since the last sign up!)

I get one point for sticking to the diet and 1 point for excercising.

Thanks for running this again

[Nohpny]

Oh but great Crowing for trying alternatives and you must take a picture of your fancy new hair when it happens.

Welcome AngelBlue.

Also I told my mom about this an she really encouraging which is good for me. I really need the motivation. She even plans to take me to the doctors on monday for a physical to make sure I'm healthy to exercise and what not.

You Goal/s:
Stick to the healthier eating style that I used to use, incorporate more water and veggies into my diet and get back into the habit of exercising.
Whats Your Plan:
1) change the eating style and stick to my WW points guide 2) try my best to get more veggies and a decent amount of water everyday into the system  3) practice my belly dancing at least 2-3 times a week

How will you get your 2 points in a day:
Hmmmm, I wanted to say I would exercise everyday but with the moving that's just not practical.
I'll say 1 point for staying on my WW diet schedule
1 point for getting veggies and water in everyday

I dunno I'll work on that part.

[Crowning_Glory13]

Welcome everyone:) You can always adjust your point system, or anything on the sign up post. I have done this many of times, and I start learning that sometimes you plan is good in your head but not your action:)

I did it....(I know I get no points for this) I went into a store and did not buy junk...I so wanted to. I got tempted at the check out...those stupid impulse items...I try and find the shortest/fastest line to hope curb it....some how I couldnt make up my mind fast enough and it was my turn!!!! So no junk!

So Day 1 of going cold turkey....YEAH!

[NovelNerd]

I thought we started in July?

 

I did not just eat an ice cream sandwich.

[Crowning_Glory13]

Nope we do not start until July 1st for point.

My joy is trying to break a horrible habit of mine. I started today to reach that goal, but I will not get any points for it. Its more of a personal thing:)
