I'm BACK! I did end up having an awesome time, but ate and drank my way with no real boundaries through the last four days. None of the food really sat well afterwards, but it sure did taste good going down. I will admit I had fun and I AM confident I can undo the damage. I took a diuretic after getting home yesterday and 9lbs (yes, really!!) of water weight has come off me overnight. What's interesting is I looked really good bloated - very taut and firm. Go figure!

What was especially nice is I got a TON of compliments on my body...I haven't seen many of these people in six mths to a year and they all said I look significantly different. A few girls even told me not to stand beside them if I could help it! So I think I come back even more motivated than before.

I’m starting a new eating plan today. I didn’t feel like what I was doing the last month with restricting complex carbs to 60g every day was working for me. My lack of sleep was putting a damper on the entire quality of my life! So as of today, I’m going to be doing a version of carb cycling. I will be eating 35g of complex carbs on non-training days and 100g on training days. With fruit, veggies & other misc. items added in, my carb totals should hopefully be high enough that I can function better. We’ll see….

I’m committing to at least two full weeks as of today to follow my new program exactly. And I am taking a new vow to really limit my alcohol consumption from now on. Wish me luck!

And I missed EF while I was gone

I need to do the same thing myself!! So I hope you inspire me........

SO GLAD you're back.....need some new ideas for meals while @ work!!

YAY Roony's back!!! Girl you fyne! I'm sure every compliment was deserved and felt AWESOME!

You have done it before, with the alcohol, so I don't think you need luck. If you need facts on how it can hurt your progress you know where to find me

NICE JOB roony DIVA

Thanks, Bunns! I totally know I’ve come this far because of EF and people who provide such great advice and inspiration like yourself. And yes, the compliments did feel awesome because I KNOW how hard I worked to get each one. That’s why I want to step it up a little bit more and work on cutting out the alcohol as much as I can. And I hope I won’t have to hit you up for those facts and will find the discipline within me.

I need to do the same thing myself!! So I hope you inspire me........

It’s great to be back, Jens! There’s something to be said for a routine life with some form of structure to it. And we will inspire each other to gradually taper off the alcohol consumption…we can DO IT!!

I actually got a monthly parking permit in the city from this month on, so I can come home for a hot and fresh lunch. But there will be days like tomorrow when I’m stuck in meetings where I will still have to pack all my meals. So far, I’ve been going strong with stir-frys and salads. I’m trying to keep them interesting by changing up ingredients so I don’t get sick of them. We’ll see…I’ll be peaking into your log too for lunch ideas as well.
