I’m impressed.

Well, I’m “striding” at least. Whew! Hard work, but it’s rewarding to know at least I’m doing something. Progress is very slow, but I expected that, so it’s all good. ~W

Oh, thanks for tagging me… I’m afraid I don’t Meme any more. I’m such an Iconoclast. *snarf* ~W

I’m not a goo goo OR a carrot cake girl myself. For me it was the Frango Mint.

*sigh*

Congratulations, dear. YOU ROCK!

I need to workout. Seriously. Yoga is good, but I need some hard core aerobics to trim my waist. (quite honestly, the inches ARE much better than the pounds, so keep it up! As you know, muscle weighs more than fat!)

Mmmm, Frangos. I love the Raspberry ones. Geeze, can’t remember when I had those last. AGES ago! I hear you about aerobics… I really needed to bust a move. Although, I hear some forms of Yoga can really work you into a sweat. Not that I’ll ever do them. In my youth I was a runner… and I’m afraid those days are gone, but the treadmill and my fantasy life suffice. ~W

Hey, did you HAVE to put a photo of the luscious carrot cake on your site? I’m drooling all over my laptop. Yummy yummy. It sounds like you are doing great!

I used to drink Coke and when I started this diet (almost a year ago, wow) I stopped drinking it. I didn’t cut down - I just quit. I thought I was going to start killing random strangers before I stopped jonesing for a Coke.

It was easier for me to give myself little goals and then give myself a small treat for achieving it. I think half a slice of carrot cake is an excellent reward - and it will help you stay on track, so you don’t lose your mind from complete sugar deprivation.

Yuck ! I did the sugar thing with cookies, needless to say I have no desire to eat even one now. The up and down of the scale is driving me crazy right it’s now nice to know I’m are not alone in the sugar battle.

Just keep at it. I have to say, these shoes are AMAZING. I really feel the difference in my workout, and I think that’s why I’m building muscle and trimming down. ~W

Thanks for stopping by! I finally was able to get a picture on my header - it’s still too big. I couldn’t eat a Goo Goo. I get a “high” just looking at it! Carrot cake and oatmeal cookies are usually safe for me . . . Stay focused on your workouts. I’m trying to do the same.

Blessings,

I think the trick is to reward yourself once in awhile for all the good effort. Because weight loss takes time, so you need something along the way. It doesn’t have to be sugar tho! A new book, a bunch flowers, something that makes you happy… anything that’s enough of a reason to keep you at it!! Blessings to you as well. ~W

I love carrot cake…it really is one of my favorites (you notice I’m using the word “one of”…I would hate to limit myself) ahem.

You are doing wonderfully on your weekly work-outs! What great progress as well…isn’t it nice to see something for all of your hard work??? I mean, besides the sugary snacks as a reward here and there…

Well, carrot cake is cheaper than Stuart Weitzman shoes. Which, would be my preference. I know what you mean about limiting yourself… usually I’m a chocolate girl, but this carrot cake is out of this world good. ~W

So, now what will you reward yourself with? Will you have a slice of the Best Carrot cake every week? I’m trying to get my butt to the gym every week day. Weekends are family time. When the snow melts I’ll try to get on the bicycle every day. I like a change of scenery when I’m exercising. Good luck with your muscle makin’!

I don’t know about every week… but certainly this Friday!! ~W

I figured you were more of a 24 carat kind of gal. Miss you! I look forward to catching up on your recent posts. I shall not inhale, but shall savor every word.

Well, if you want to talk carats, then I’m really a Platinum girl. Miss you too… good to see you here. Hope all is well on your end… did you see you have another convert? :D~W
