Make an appointment to work out and don't let anybody take that time from you. Once that becomes habit it will fit into your schedule easier. An exercise walk or workout tape right after you get home from work is good because when you are done, you still have your whole evening ahead of you and you've cleared out the cobwebs from the workday.

Great on the positive mood. This may very well be a sign that you are detoxing the sugars from your body. The first week on Phase 1, a lot of people feel crappy from the detox, then you get a mood/energy surge!

Maybe start your exercise today since the mood is upbeat?

your right i feel so good today....anywho just a quick question...is it better to exersice before you eat or after.....hummmmmmmm

I would say before you eat , but I'm no expert. If I exert myself on a full stomach dinner doesn't stay where it belongs! But I have esophogus issues so maybe that's it? I dunno.

before is good or at least an hour or two afterwards, but if that puts you two hours or less before bedtime you may have trouble sleeping. How about before with a quick energy snack about an hour prior?

yeah you guys are right if i sit down to eat....there is no way i'm gonna wanna clean up and then go.....cause by then my shows will be on....cant miss the t.v. shows.....so thank you for your help...french

I find celery and peanut butter or cream cheese a good snack before working out. it's not too heavy. I don't eat a meal before working out, as the workout usually supresses my appetite anyway...then i eat about an hour after.

mood today.......determined

now that i got on the scale and bummed myself out completly.....i know i have to get off my lard butt and work.........and no for the record i did not exercise....i'm gonna join the y tonight......and work my two tummy double butt off....... i wont be checking in over the weekend unless my boss tells me i have to work....i dont have a computer at home... well i do but its not hooked in yet....:OMG: i know i know its like living cave man style.... but in order to put my fish tank up i had to rid something and that was it..... so now waiting for my basement to get finsihed so i can hook it up down there...and with a lazy man in the house this could be awhile.....so until then you will only hear from me monday till friday unless i have to work on sat....so thats it today i guess for my journal...a loss of 4lbs.......next week it will be more or my name isnt frech.......have a great weekend all....(not to great) all you all better behave.........

I would KILL for a 4 pound loss girlfriend!!! I lose slower than you, but at least I am losing.

Hang in there and turn your mind around. How long has it been since you have seen the scale going in the opposite direction for not SOOOO much effort? Heck, you aren't even exercising yet!!!!!

You are doing terrific!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!:Clap:

your so right here iam dumping more food into my body than i ever have and taddddddddddddaaaaaaaaaa the scale is going backwards...slow or not its moving backwards......:Clap: i'm okay with the loss i have to remember that its not a fast its a slow steady way of doing it.....thx french
