Les Sszzz?

HOW ABOUT THIS?
Today I talked to Kim, and a few days ago to Camille, about having a Skype meeting when I'm in NJ in 3 weeks.   Do each of you want to "pencil in" Sunday, February 17, for a video conference? Those of us at the Shore can gather at Colleen's with one laptop (or more). Kim, you'll be beaming in from MA. If y'all like the idea, let's "ink in" the exact clock-time once I get to NJ.

Sound good?

Kim and I talked about how well a 10-week deadline worked for all of us before (from late May to mid-August; from mid-August to late October). Then we fell apart, sort of, the holidays arrived, and...

Want to think about setting a new common deadline?
10 weeks from mid-February would take us to May 1--and Spring. (Almost a year since we started our blog????)

Thoughts?

Love,
M

It will happen

Still trying to be mindful. Back to Skype investigation after visit to Col's

BY HOOKIE OR BY COOKIE
Dear Sisters, don't know about you but I can't hold on much longer, that is to say, I'm in danger of playing serious food hooky unless we have a face-to-face meeting soon via Skype. Only Leslie is attempting to get set up, unsuccessfully so far. Leslie, Kim, Camille -- if you call me, maybe I can help get you signed up and ready for a video conference?

In the meantime, you might want to look at this list of micronutrient-dense foods from Joel Fuhrman, MD, a northern New Jersey doctor specializing in nutrition whom Colleen and I keep tabs on:

Heading to the beach then painting the rest of the day. It's going to be walking warm by this afternoon here. I pod is charging.
Have a great day!

Hey

Where is everyone?  It's getting pretty bad when I am the only one posting lately.

NEW IDEA

I'm trying this new tactic I heard about.  Trying to do all eating within any 8-hour window throughout the day.  That gives your body 16 hours to do what it is supposed to do with what's in it--what you ate, what is stored, etc.  I had already adopted trying to eat nothing after 7 pm.  This, believe it or not, is a little easier.  After 4 days, my digestive system seems to like it.  Good day to all!

One entire bag of peanut-butter-filled unsalted pretzels yesterday, but no sweets.

RADICAL MEASURE REQUIRED
Yesterday, New Year's Day, I took the radical measure of an all-day water fast to cleanse myself of the prolonged orgy of sweets that began way back in November in the days before Thanksgiving when pumpkin pies went on sale. The orgy had crescendoed the night before when I accepted an invitation to a fine New Year's Eve Tuscan dinner that I topped off with a murderous dessert called "Tortino di Cioccolato Col Cuore Caldo" or Chocolate Volcano Cake. Thus ended 2012.

JANUARY 1, 2013

All right, girls.  It's the first day of the year.  We all made varying degrees of progress since we began.  But we DID make progress.  Let's continue.  Settle in for the winter haul.  Here's to a healthier us!

Happy New Year!

Just think where our weight was this same time last year! Back to basics!
