One month already!!!

Posted Thu, 01/28/2010 - 5:50pm by Rose

Yesterday marked 1 month of my CALP experience. I cannot beleive that I have come this far on this programme. On other diets, I would have fallen off the band wagon 50 times already by now but on CALP I had gone off 3 times only to date. My first was at my inlaw's house and the 2nd & 3rd was during a recent 2-day office retreat. I notice that I have no difficulty following CALP when I am on my own but cave in when I am following other people's eating schedule. I know it was nobody's fault but my own. I should have been stronger and just say no. But often , I dont have the heart to dissapoint them when they have gone to so much trouble preparing food for me. hmmm.... i wonder how most of you out there deal with situations like this?

My CALP Experience - 1st Month 26th day

Posted Thu, 01/21/2010 - 7:17pm by Rose

i have a confession to make. yesterday morning started off pretty well. had 2 eggs and water for breakfast and planned to have coleslaw, fried chicken and a slice of apple pie for my lunch reward meal. but things didn't go as planned!

sent son for class at 12noon and was supposed to be back in the office by 1, have lunch between 1.15 to 2 then attend a meeting at 2.30. managed to reach office only 2pm only and was dying for lunch so decided to have my reward meal anyway.

planned menu of coleslaw, fried chicken and a slice of apple pie flew out of the window and ate whatever was available at the office cafe. Practically inhaled 1 bowl of curry mee ( too much mee with bits and pieces of chicken and veggie only) and 1 tuna sandwich with mayo and slices of cucumber and tomato.

My CALP Experience - 1st Month 25th day

Weighed myself this morning.. but agghhh!!! the scale didn't move. It was 181lbs on 16th last week and its still 181lbs this morning (20th)! I was very dissappointed that i am not already thin (130lbs - that's my goal)... :-)

I know I am supposed to be patient (and look at the big picture) and not think of this way of eating as a diet (because i know that there is no other better way for me to lose weight aside from CALP! i know that this way of eating is for me for life and there is no other way that works for me), I can't help wishing I would lose weight more quickly!

I supposed i should be happy that my weight didn't increase and I DID fall off the bandwagon last sunday when i was at my inlaw's...hmmm, may be that was it..

i started exercising after work again yesterday.

My CALP Experience

Posted Tue, 01/19/2010 - 5:18pm by Rose

Today marks the 24th day of my CALP diet. I can't believe it's been 24 days already since Dec 28, 2009 and i had only cheated once and that was only because i was at in law's place and she had gone to all the touble to cook a wonderful meal and i didn't have the heart to dissappoint that poor dear by not eating anything!

my clothes feel looser already and i have never felf more wonderful... i feel that i am doing this for me and need not to answer to anyone as to why i am eating this way because i know that i am finally doing the right thing! Hooray for me!
