I didn't know your backstory before, Ann. That is SO moving! I'm so glad you were visiting your friend that day - you've made a huge difference, not just for your friend, but for so many more women! Walk on!

I think I might try it - following the spirit of Whole30, if not the letter.

arrgh, if I want to participate in the DietBet, I'll have to go buy a scale! If I want to participate in the upcoming Whole30, I'll have to start eating meat again. (the second is NOT going to happen!!) But I've already signed up for the wellness challenge! Who's with me???

I'm ready to jump back into something! Anything! Except I don't even have a scale at the moment - it's hopefully going through the Panama Canal right about now with the rest of our belongings :) Maybe something accountability-related, but not necessarily tied to the scale? Or a build-or-break a habit challenge, everyone choosing her/his own personal Achilles' heel with which to grapple? I don't know, but I'm in! I've missed this place!!

Ann, this is great! I'm so excited, and honored, to be walking with you next September, and to be fighting this fight alongside so many wonderful, courageous women!

Best vague answer ever :) Part of me wants to offer to co-host and share the load, but September is going to be SO BUSY for me, as you know. Who says homeschooling mom's are always at home? Pffft.

I'm with you, Ann! I was doing so well during out sugar challenge, then POOF! all my good intentions went up in smoke the second it was up. Are you up to hosting another group? Or is that just too much on top of everything else just now?

I really need to get my butt back to SJ on a regular basis - I miss you ladies!!! And I missed out on the start of a great challenge, one I could DEFINITELY use! Not to late to join in??

Wish I'd known you were going to be in my neck of the woods! We were just in Bruxelles a couple days ago and are going back next week!

You know what? I've been itching for a few weeks to start running again, but the prospect of starting all over again, from scratch, all by myself, was daunting. I'm in again!

As often as I can, Lisa! That's a promise!

Bari, I'm going back to university full time, and I don't think I can hack being mom/wife/chef/student/ME AND commit myself to blogging here on a regular basis. Maybe once all the Chemistry and Anatomy & Phys are out of the way. We'll see :)

Karena_O — Sat, 25 May 2013 02:24:37 -0000

Aww, thanks, Ann! I have no plans to lose touch with the good friends I've made here at SJ, and you definitely fall into that category!

You know I'm a total Twitter addict, B! It will be my reward for a long hard day of studying :)

Thanks, Karen, and best of luck to you as well!

Way to go, Brooke! I'm surprised no one else chimed in. I think we need to star an Iron Sisters movement!

Re: what works for you?

Karena_O — Mon, 08 Apr 2013 08:21:01 -0000

Hmmmm, I'm extremely intrigued! But I've decided on a course of action (nothing crazy, I assure you!) and am excited to see how it works out. Looking forward to reading your posts though, Christy!

Glad that's working for you, Kerry, and I hope it continues! I actually am vegetarian, so I can't make the same claim :) Although, my old norm of healthy, whole foods vegetarian and this new norm of healthy with some junk thrown on top aren't exactly comparing apples to apples!

Re: what works for you?

Interesting... I can see how that might work. Thanks for sharing your tip, Mimi!

I'm actually sitting here over my morning cuppa, planning out next week's meals. Not just suppers, as is my usual, but everything that's going to go in my pie hole :) Great minds think alike??

I keep questioning whether that added hunger I'm having is real or imaginary? LIke, am I subconsciously thinking "wow! I worked out like a fiend! I'd better refuel!" when actually all I need is something small?

Thanks, Sarah. I used to be there - conscious, that is :) I'm not sure when I started just floating along, but it's time to snap out of it! Thanks for the input, especially the reminder to eat happy and healthy :)

Ann, I'm so glad you have a fitness center at your disposal - that's fab!!! My kids aren't aware of this, but I'm pretty sure the Easter candy will be disappearing this weekend :) What's more, I expect I'm the only one that will even notice the absence!

Thanks for your input, Nichole! I *KNOW* that protein is a contributing factor. Just how to address it I'm not quite sure. Thanks for the food for thought :)
