redgirl1974's Journal, 30 July 2015

my day started off right.. Got up earlier than normal, cleaned my house,hit the park for a walk and made breakfast all before work. Cleaned some kale for today, prolly gonna saute as side with something for lunch or even on its own as a main for lunch. Went to gym last night and forgot to use my heart monitor but I did have my fit bit so it wasn't a total loss as far as logging. My company is starting a step contest Monday and I was voted captain of my team. Our name is the Waist Removers AKA Christopher Walkin hahaha. Does anyone notice that now that you've lost weight other people start asking your advice?I had 3 people ask me yesterday. Imagine that. Looking forward to the rest of the day! Hope yours is a great one.

No one asked for advice, but I was surprised on how many people at work noticed I lost some weight because to me it's not a big amount. But the feeling I got when they said you look great! 😀

Wow, you did have a great start to the day...way to go. I think when people ask me about what I've been doing to lose weight they might be sorry afterwards, I'm so enthused by it that once I start talking I don't shut up. Wishing you and your team at work lots of success! And the kale sounds great too.

i need a kick in the pants today to get me moving. I have been working and working hard but I have a case of the diddly-squats really bad.

That is awesome. I have had plenty of people ask me my secret. So I tell them about the hard work that I put into it and they think that I have this magic pill I use to lose weight. I can feel ya about the step contest part too. I have been walking at lunch at my job for a while now and people have asked me to start a walking club. So far I am the only member. No one wants to actually go outside and sweat. lol

WOW!! you are up and at it!! I used to get asked about what I did, they wanted a magic potion not hard work. They still wanted to be able to drink their sodas and snack on their junk food all day long. A friend on another floor who has lost due to eating changes and working out has gotten the same responses.

Wow! You go girl. Most people just ask if I'm losing weight on purpose or if I'm sick. I just say I'm sick of being fat :)

Captain Awesome there Red. Yes they do ask for advice and most who have asked me are always disappointed when I tell them it is through watching what you eat and exercise

I hope your day continues on in the awesome way it has begun. I also have had people ask what I have done to lose weight. They all want a short answer, it seems, which, when I feel glib is usually, "I have worked very hard at it!" I am glad to tell them all of the little changes I have made and how they have added together to change the way I live and eat, but most folks don't care to listen to that part.

I tell people that the biggest change I made was cutting my portions in half. Absolutely no one liked that answer (except the employees at my doctor's office).

So ive been pretty honest .. cut out your "carbage" and get off your butt. Cut out happy hour and more water.. ya no one likes to hear that.. they all want a quick solution and they get annoyed when they realize its taken me almost 8 months to loose 55 lbs.. MEH.. hard work pays off is all i say to that.. And I agree with Cat. Im sick of being fat too !! BAM

Laughing as it seems like many of us have had the same reaction. One person at my work actually started spreading it around that I was drinking some sort of diet shake in the am. People didn't like my answer when I would tell them what was in my smoothie, banana, kale, almond milk, wheat germ, nutritional yeast and flax seed: they wanted some sort of diet mix thingy. I confronted the source and asked her to stop spreading untrue info. She was not a happy that she was caught lying as she knew before what was in them..
