It’s all about the BILL $$$ talks when action walks; Rodney Vs Nancy 30 Days
Thank you Deb for the slap. I’ve been whining like a kindergartner and even close to a tantrum. All the why’s and I wonders is done and over with.
Now it’s time to take action. Stupid scale won’t work with me…I’m tired of it. I’m tired of wondering why it’s not moving. I’m completely fed up.
Time for the next step. ATTACK DAY TIME OUT OF CONTROL SNACKING!!
I asked Rod, what is it he thinks I’m doing wrong. He said it’s the snack and incessant eating that I do.
SO we are attacking this on full force. AND HE’S HELPING ME!! Which is a first. He’s finally accepting the fact that I am going to be like this and there is no going back to the fat girl.
The plan:
BREAKFAST small serving of protein, fiber and fruit
NO SNACK
LUNCH higher serving of protein, fruit and veggies
SNACK fruit as carb for workout and small protein portion
DINNER 1/3 of my normal rice, protein and veggies
LAST FOOD What I want but in moderation meaning protein, fruit or even oatmeal
PER FITDAY, I have to eat 1450 to lose 1.7 lbs a week. I may or my not try this out for one week then evaluate to see if it worked. I’m used to eating more food like 1800 calories for my exercise day. This is a little scary for me to be honest. I feel it’s a little too low for my activity level.
So I am also looking at Livestrong, I hope the calorie intake from that site is higher.
I’m not sure right now how many calories I want to aim for yet….maybe just eating better and go for 1400-1800.
THE CHALLENGE
Rod wants me to cut out all that little itsy bitsy eating I do outside of the designated eat time. So, if he sees me eat out of turn $1 goes in my piggy bank. No questions asked. This means no taking two bites from his burger or 3 fries from his plate. No eating my nephews food, no snacking on anything out of turn. I do account for them each day, but it’s usually processed food and not good for me and always high in calorie. No more mini bites. 
There is no processed food whatsoever. There’s chicken, fish, shrimp, small serving of beef. I have my oatmeal, green tea and water. There’s only vegetables and fruits.
No candy, no cookies, certainly no Asian dry noodle, no chips, no sodas but I don’t drink anywayz….nothing but natural salt and sugar.
It’s not too tough as I’ve been eating less and less processed food. Hopefully I can cut out the naughty nibbles as Anj calls them.
OHHHH also took out my trusty scale. I am going to use it for everything! No more eyeballing it anymore. Going to beat this sucker at its own game.
My exercise level is the same. I am still doing 11+ hrs a week with kickboxing, step, pilates, yoga, weights, interval training, boot camp, athletic training.
WISH ME LUCK!
Deb, I am on my way to another quarter hon!!!!! whooo hoooo!
Today I didn’t workout; PMS cramping and aching body did me in.
So tomorrow is 3 hours Saturday of weights, kickboxing and yoga.
NICKY CHOCOLATE - HAPPY BIRTHDAY!
Nicole and Becky, I just created a livestrong.com account. Same user name khmerbeauty. I’ll try both website and keep the one I like. I just can’t keep up with too many website. Buddyslim is my baby anyhow so I won’t be active there but to take my calorie count.
Hey you got to just change it up….keep going. I really hope it works!
Wow if I was going to lose a dollar that would certainly keep me in line. I’ve been thinking about reevaluating what I’ve been eating through the day also I’m thinking that’s the culprit, that and I need to change up my routine.
No workout for me either actually not for the past 4 days. My poor pulled muscle in my back said no no, but I said yes for tomorrow I can’t wait to get back have fun at you classes tomorrow… sweat it out! sweat it out! :p
If anyone can do it, I know you can!!! No processed food, that would be tough! I think you will feel great. I was wondering when you did the cal count, did you imput that you workout as much as you do? It seems low for all of your gym time. Just don’t want it to backfire and you send yourself into starvation mode, then you would realy kill that scale! Good Luck=)
Well, you have a plan there dont you?!?!?! You can do it NANCY! I use livestrong and I LOVE it! It is my favorite and I am never going to leave it! I have been using it now for about 15 days and dont know how I lived without it for tracking food and calories and exercise. It is better then the othersI tried. Better not be putting too many dollars in that piggy bank
Ha Ha Ha! Have a great weekend Nancy!!!
Becky I’m going to create an account right now with Livestrong and start tomorrow. Gotta thank you guys for supporting me.
Megan, that is my biggest fear with the low calorie count of 1450. I am hoping that because the food is more natural, that I get more bang for my buck. But I will adjust it according to my energy level.
One thing I won’t do is allow my body to go into starvation mode. Too risky.
I hope livestrong.come gives me a higher calorie intake the FITDAY.
Those last few pounds can be so frustrating. Not speaking from experience, mind you. LOL!
It’s great that Rod is helping you with this. And he may be right about the sneaky snacks. I bite or two of this adds up in a hurry! Good Luck Girl! Can’t wait to hear how it goes.
that is great that rod is going to help you! you can do this and i know that for me, not eating the procesed foods is a lot better- i usually have a spinach salad with nuts and fruit in the morning (a little odd, i know) and that usually holds me quite well until lunch. hope you find something that works for you soon!
Oh yes those darn naughty nibbles they’ll get you everytime.
With having a day care and feeding my children snacks twice a day and lunch it was so easy to nibble here and there.
I know its helped me a lot being aware of that and cutting it out.
Now I have those meals planned out far in advance and have them ready to go, wrapped up and out of sight until its time for them so I’m not tempted to sample along the way.
Out with the old habits
In with the new
Its great that you have Rodneys support and hes helping you think through this.
Great idea to weigh your food.
Even if you just get back to that for awhile to maybe tweak your ‘eyeballing’ just a bit if necessary.
Good luck figuring out how many cals. you need.
I’m finding that to be a tough one right now too.
I read this today -
If you take a step back,
learn from it and take 2 steps forward
I LIKE IT!
Good for you for working things through Nancy and coming up with a plan of attack.
Thats how successful people get over the humps and smooth out the bumps in the road.
They don’t just drive in another direction only to find more bumps.
Luv ya lots
Lori

Ahhhhhhhhhhh Lori, that is the nicest thing I’ve ever heard!!!!
Thanks for letting me vent to you and Nicole yesterday.
I have to get ready for the gym, just wanted to come say thanks!!
Well, good luck! I KNOW you can do it!! This is the ONLY site I use. I don’t have time for any others, I barely have the time here. I love your dedication and Yay for Rod, helping you!!!
Hey Girl, you know, for anyone else I would think that they are setting their goals pretty high..BUT I have total faith in you and know that you CAN and WILL do this!!! Your determination just floors me
I used Fitday for the longest time and just recently started Livestong. I like Livestrong so much better!! Thanks again Nicole for the reference to the site. Well…you ready to earn your quarters and get your touchdowns? I sure am!!! No more pussyfooting around…let’s do this thing!!!
(((((((((((((BIG HIGS))))))))))))))))))
I’m like Anj on thinking of your ability to do this. Here’s the thing that I noticed-that your smart enough to see the calorie count might be a little low due to your gym time…but your smart enough to make the changes that you might need in that regards.
Thats the thing about this, there is no problem with changing things up to suit your needs. Lord knows I’ve changed just about everything in regards to this..tweak here and there lol.
Girl, we know your just like us-your not superwoman. But, you are a very strong woman who does what needs to be done to take care of things. However, we are here for every step of the way-cheering you on. Whatever you need girl, give another shout! Where else can I slap someone and make them happy too?? lmao
Whooo hooo quarters!!!! Yeah baby!!!
love ya girl! Debbie
Darn it, I always forget something. Go Rod for his support and efforts to help you out! He’s such a sweetie!!
Good plan Nancy!!! You are soo determined, and I know you will do it-and be successful!!
Have a happy Saturday!!
Good luck!
Naughty Nibble…LOVE it!
They add up but Dangit they are soooo good!
Good for you on the changes. Ive been weighing my food all last week too…keeping myself honest
Yay for Rod on helping you
Yay that he’s helping you!
I think today I’m going to get a roll of quarters and start a bank as well. hmmm…
$10 out of each pay check to go towards quarters? I’ll give myself 1 every day I eat well and every time I work out, take one away for bad food! Sounds good to me…
Great that Rod is helping you! Josh is starting to help me, too. Last night I came home with ice cream and he yelled at me, LOL I just looked at him and said “.. But.. it’s low fat!” SO I need to keep away from it, too. I had some, yes… but all in all not awful.. (listen to me trying to comfort myself!! sigh.)
Nanc, you know I love you girl! Chris is really trying to be helpful in keeping me OP. I got some orange juice for tomorrow, but I figure it’s for the kids and Jarrod.
I’m so proud of you for keeping yourself in line and and trying to figure out what you need to change to make it to your goal weight! You and the rest of our little Diet Tribe definitely keep me on my toes, my friend! I’m allowing myself my cravings, but ONLY in moderation! Just a little bit.
nancy, that is so good that your babes is helping you out…having him support you in this is great….you are going to get thru the sncaking….you got this!
So, did you get on livestrong, what do you think?!??!?!?!?!? Do you love it like Nicole and I do?!?!?!?!
Awesome plan, and how cool that Rodney is helping! I use a scale for alot of my food, too.
