I need a good challenge! Someting to make myself even more accountable. I'm doing relatively good, however, I still occasionally as I'm walking by the fridge in between meals or cooking and grab my refrigerated balance bar for just a " bite " ...or pop in " just one milk dud " when I get up. Nope, not next week! I'll be perfect! Colleen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted June 27, 2002 Report Share Posted June 27, 2002 I really want to do that but I am just completing my first challenge and was going to take next week as my off week (still continue to workout and eat healthy, somewhat, but quit weights), now I am thinking maybe I shouldn't take the week off and join all of you. Decisions, decisions. DO you guys think I should have an off week or not? > I'm seeing the need to do this again. > > LADIES!

Guest guest Posted June 27, 2002 Report Share Posted June 27, 2002 , For us new timers, (I'm at the end of week 3), I think you should go for one more week as an inspiration to us newbies. Take the next week off. But ultimately, the decision has to be yours. Noelle Re: Perfect Week Contest!

Guest guest Posted June 27, 2002 Report Share Posted June 27, 2002 Everything I've read says you need an off-week. When I was in gymnastics we did some nasty, grueling training for 8 weeks straight and always had an off-week before comps. HELPED tremendously! Congrats on completing your challenge! What's next?

Guest guest Posted June 27, 2002 Report Share Posted June 27, 2002 I have to have my free day on Sunday, or it seems I get out of wack. It works better 'cause my husband is home and that is usually the day I try to cook him a good home cooked " Southern " meal. Although, I am not having any more free days like the last. I'm gonna do good this time. I'm gonna treat the 4th as if it were any other day. Noelle Re: Perfect Week Contest! > I'm in gnat! Even through the fourth of July, the day I'm dreading.

Guest guest Posted June 27, 2002 Report Share Posted June 27, 2002 I am just so worried about that week off, I guess I am most worried because I am not sure what I am supposed to do. I have heard mixed stuff on this, have any advice for me? Whats next?????????.......another 12 week challenge and then after that I am just going to do this for life. I am enjoying it ALOT more than I ever thought I would, I adapted to the eating rather quickly and am loving the workouts, I definitely want this to be a way of life for me. > > > I'm seeing the need to do this again. > > > > > > LADIES!

Guest guest Posted June 27, 2002 Report Share Posted June 27, 2002 Noelle, I had to do that for Memorial Day, I have to keep my free days on Saturdays because I will get all screwed up otherwise so I understand where you are coming from on that one, I went to a family picnic (and I come from a family of VERY large people so there is never a lack of good food) and I took my little lunchbox with my cottage cheese and what not and it was actually very easy to stay away from the bad stuff. What made it even easier is when I sit and watch the rest of the family members stuffing themselves and then telling me how I am going to die from mal-nourishment while all the while they are growing bigger and bigger, didn't want one bite of that forbidden food then. Good luck to you on the 4th, I will be thinking of all of you hoping we can all resist the temptation, it is out there and it is hard.

Guest guest Posted June 27, 2002 Report Share Posted June 27, 2002 I've heard that alot of people eat BFL during the break, but ditch the workouts to rest. Many of them say it's very much needed. Don't worry about it. Just don't go NUTZ. You've adapted to this great foundation of nutrition and exercise, a week off of the exercise is not going to undo the 12 weeks of hard work! Just don't eat a bag of oreos for breakfast!! Like I used to! Astra > > > > I'm seeing the need to do this again. > > > > > > > > LADIES!

Guest guest Posted June 27, 2002 Report Share Posted June 27, 2002 Boy , can I relate to you. I have a co-worker who had a breast reduction in an attempt to make her appear smaller. Now, she is upset because the rest of her looks larger. She actually told me yesterday as I ate my broccoli and tuna that I was anorexic. I just laughed and told her I was building a better body. She said you have already lost weight and I lifted my shirt and showed her my belly flab, as she was chowing down on a TACO SALAD! As a matter of fact, I told her that taco salad stunk! The meat smelled terrible and it didn't even look good. I have really learned allot in the last three weeks and it's getting easier. I went out to eat with a friend and pulled out my protein bar. I'm going to a surprise party and a catfish place Saturday and I plan to do the same thing there. Thanks for the reply. It's great knowing there are other people facing the same things you do.

DO you guys think I should have an off week or > not? > Hiya DH and I have been doing this since Jan 14th and we've yet to take a week off. Although we have taken a few breaks due to health and company which we don't feel guilty about IMHO, I'm in this for life.. and breaking my life up into 12 week periods with 1 week of rest just isn't natural. When we feel we need it.. we take a day or two off. So, do what works for you and what you feel you need Serenity Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted June 27, 2002 Report Share Posted June 27, 2002 I get so excited about BFL and want everyone to do it. I have my mom reading the book who is 54 and never lifted a weight in her life. She wants to do it too. I told a lady at work who had her stomach stapled and eats garbage now, that if she was going to eat a candy bar, she should at least eat a Snickers because they are the lowest on the glycemic index (according to a body builder on bodybuilding.com) (I'M NOT EATING SNICKERS MYSELF) :-) and low and behold she switched. Now, if she would just read the book. People kill me that cry and complain about their health, looks and everything else and then don't want to step up to the plate and make the effort to change and on top of that, want to make you feel bad for doing something right. That is my venting for the day. LOL Noelle Re: Perfect Week Contest! > > > > > > > I'm in gnat!

Guest guest Posted June 27, 2002 Report Share Posted June 27, 2002 I'm in, my only non-perfect problem so far is eating all six meals. Most days I can only get to five before bedtime. Maybe I should reduce my protion sizes? I am just stuffed by meal 4. Yeta Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted June 27, 2002 Report Share Posted June 27, 2002 Wonderful to hear this!!! I think you should take a week off but continue to eat clean and enjoy a few more free meals. Cut down on your workouts but continue with your cardio. Rita Re: Perfect Week Contest!

Guest guest Posted June 27, 2002 Report Share Posted June 27, 2002 We are ALL facing the same obstacles as you Noelle - so you are definitely NOT alone! I have a big party tomorrow night at the Rainbow Room in NY followed by another brunch on Saturday. I am going to be as careful as I can but of course cannot bring with me. lol For July 4th I am stymied ... I think I can do okay. I am going to try.

I think that is what I am going to do, 5 days of cardio and skip the weights, that way when I get back to them I will be sore ( I LOVE that feeling). I think I will let myself enjoy the 4th a LITTLE too, maybe I will have two pcs of chicken instead of one palm size (whatever that may be) pc. I guess it really isn't all that big of a deal but for some reason I seem to want to make it that way, I worry too much sometims.
