2014 "detox"

[Phoebe]

I much prefer logging on Fitbit. I like how they incorporate BMR and activities of daily living to bring your calorie "budget" up, and adjust it on the fly for your exercise, and they set that budget at a sane level to begin with. My DH, a fully grown 5'10" man who burns 1500-2000 calories *just on exercise* each day, has a LoseIt budget of 1400 calories! It drives me insane! The only problem is that the interface is less fully-featured, they don't have an option to enter your own recipes and custom foods that I've found yet.

Anyway. I will PM you, BonBon!

I'll be starting fitness pal on Monday. I'll be starting fitbit once I can return my blue one and get a black one. Yes, I'm picky.

I'd love to detox wine, coffee ( I can live with green tea) and sweets. The problem is how much I enjoy all of these things.

I'm working on cutting out sweets/deserts. I'm an emotional eater and sugar sensitive so it creates an awful spiral that includes weight gain. I also am working toward fitness. I've started using our exercise bike 5 or 10 minutes a day. Baby steps.

My enjoyment knows no boundaries. I'm hoping that 3 days without will help temper my gusto. Ha!

I've been thinking of splurging on a fitbit myself. I guess I need to look into what all it can do and how it can help me feel confident and pretty for the wedding.

I have been doing spinach, kale, banana, cucumber, scoop of protein powder and some sort of liquid. That has been my lunch and I love it. I tried it after a friend made it, I was convinced I would hate it. But I loved it!'

This no bread no rice no grains bullshit is hard! I'm jonesing for some pretzels. And Nutella. I need chocolate.

It is! But it really eliminates all-over bloat and the pregnant belly look. (not that YOU have that look. I do. *sigh*)

2014 "detox"

You know what helps? The flu. I have zero interest in food. Z-e-r-o. I've choked down two bowls of soup today and a Kind bar. If I wasn't basically immobile, I'd be on track with this whole healthy living in 2014 thing. But I still feel quite "toxic"...
:P
ETA: this is actually the first night I've felt human in a week, so I may live yet.

[Ladybug]

I've decided to wait and detox after I'm not snowed in with four quibbling kids. Monday I'm breaking outta here...

[Michele]

I think I might be ending mine early and cheating. My mom cooks dinner and tonight's includes breaded fish. I could scrape the bread crumbs off....but I'd still be getting some. Also, I really really really want chocolate. Like bad. And there are cookies at home. Will-power, what's that?? I think I gave myself a good jump start. But I've had a headache all day and I know I haven't consumed enough calories during this "detox". At least the scale went down so I feel like I accomplished something. But I'm about ready to call it.

DH took a break from his diet last night and kept refilling my wine glass when he topped his own off. Oh, well!

[Sheherezade]

I'm starting Monday (along with some others on here, I think) if you all want to jump back in.

[Michele]

I ended up eating sausage potato kale soup. Yummy! And a spoonful of nutella.

Angie, I hope you are feeling better soon.
