Good evening!
Welcome back to Chunky Dunker’s Club! A club for people from all walks of life to get together online to support one another in their health and fitness goals, whether it be to lose a few pounds, or to do one situp; I am very happy to welcome you here every Wednesday evening, where we “meet” in the comments section to catch up, share hints, tips, and ideas and to just encourage each other as we go through our health & fitness path together!!
Tonight, I thought I would talk about Not Giving Up!
I may have talked about this before, but I feel that now more than ever, I have kind of given up on my fitness goals. I have let them and regular life overwhelm me to the point of not caring! A friend reminded me today, that God put us here to support each other, and when she told me that I realized, that I wasn’t on this journey alone.
That is pretty powerful!
Maybe that is for you too!
This week I want you to recommit to your goals and to reach out to one friend that you trust and tell them what you have recommitted to. They do not have to hold you accountable, but just reaching out to someone, telling them what you are going for helps solidify the fact within yourself.
That you are gonna do it.
Little by little.
Step by step!
I am here for you!!!
We are in this TOGETHER!!! 😉
So, tonight I start my journey over. Having had a bad day of eating not-so-good-for-me-foods, having no idea how much I weigh this evening, but knowing that NOW is exactly the PERFECT time for change.
Have a FABULOUS evening! 
“If you want to have a different life, live differently!”
Good evening, Chunky Dunker’s!!! How was everyone’s holidays??
Hi everyone! I am here!
Hey, Sis!! How has your week gone!! I have eaten nothing but bad for me all week, but I did start walking again, FINALLY!! I think I am going to join WW again!!
I have been so-so but need to be better. AND HAVE TO STOP DRINKING SODAS
You do your WW and I will watch my calories for now. I won’t be able to afford anything til probably middle of next month.
Ok, it’s a deal!! One of my co-workers at work is doing WW too, and I hear that they have a new points plan for 2012! So, I am excited to see what it is!! 😉
Well if Jennifer Hudson can lose 80 lbs on this program…so can we…right?!
My holidays won’t finish until I get those sinful goodies Jay mailed to me
You still don’t have them??
No Jay found out that they sat in a broken down truck along with a bunch of other deliveries for a week before being found. They left Troutdale today and should be delivered on Friday.
Oh man – that is really bad!! I would be soooo frustrated, I am sorry, Sis!! I hope it all still tastes yummy!!
No worries…it will get here. I am just so anxious to get my hands on my pkgs.
I can’t wait for you to see your little marshapine in person, they are JUST SOOOOO cute!!! Jason did an EXCELLENT job this year!!
I am going to take pics and post them on FB
Of the treats?
Yes, I have gotten myself stuck on diet sodas, which is just as bad, if not worse than regular sodas. I was doing so well there for a long time!! So, Jason has gotten me one of those cool Starbuck’s bottles that I have been drinking water out of like crazy!!
GOOD FOR YOU! Let’s commit to one soda a week or less. What do you think.
Yes, great idea!!! I will let you know how I did last week!!
You know, the thing that got me started on getting healthy again, is that Jay and I played Wii sports with our friends Dawn and Errin, and two days later, I was still moving around all sore and pathetic!! Kinda funny, but I am determined not to get pooped out from a little bit of Wii playing again!!
LOL! A video game making you sore. But I understand the Wii
Jason is without a laptop right now, and is trying to see if he can comment from his Kindle Fire! We will see, my fingers are crossed!!! 😉
I have been going on mini 15 minute walks at work, I am so out of shape right now, that that is all I can do at one time! I find that my knees and ankles hurt if I do too much! I need to get myself back into the pool, now that it is finished being remodeled!!
Baby steps…right sis?!
Yes, most definitely! I can’t run myself in the ground like I did when I was belly dancing, walking, swimming, and Zumba-ing all in the same week!!! 😉
Yeah..that is way too much! You act like you are Jillian!
I wish!!! It would be sooo much easier to find cute clothes! 😉
yes lets see if it works… good evening all how are you?
Hey, Alice!! How are you?? How was your week??
I just made a FABULOUS dish for dinner. I picked up a pound of Italian ground turkey and cooked it up. Dumped my leftover rice in it, a can of diced stewed tomatoes, half a can of corn and half of cup of my special salsa with some garlic salt. My special salsa is diced up red onion with chopped up cilantro sprinkled with a lime. So I dumped half a up of that in and then put a 1/4 cup of my juice from my Giullano hot sweet peppers and a little parmesean cheese. OH HEAVEN!
Ooh, that sounds yummy, Sis!! We may have to try it! 😉
IT IS SO amazing! I was just throwing stuff together. PERFECTION!
You have always been an AMAZING chef!!! Maybe that is your calling!! 😉
Maybe!
😉
it was good a nice quit new years. made teriyaki chicken an drice for dinner. i gained 3 lbs for christmas an dit is all gone i am bake down to 241
Good for you Alice! Glad to hear you are doing good.
Good job, Alice!! and I love Teriyaki Chicken!! So good!!
That is Nette’s favorite dish!
Jason is still wanting to do gastric bypass, so we are saving up money now. We have to pay for it up front, which isn’t too bad, but money is tight that we just got through the holidays!!
Good goal to save money for. Though I talked with a friend who said that the lap band is still the way to go and less evasive. She has only gone back to the office every 6 months to have the band inflated a little more. And it was only one little hole and less down time for recovery. She has done really well. on it.
In all honesty, I haven’t decided whether I want to do either yet. I just wish I could stay committed long enough to not have to have surgery of any kind!! Does that make me crazy??
i am planing on trying a roasted chicken. watching barefoot contesa
my goal is try somthing new ever month
I love the Barefoot Contessa!! She has my life!! That is a fun goal, Sis!! You will have to let me know how your chicken goes!! 😉
well, all that, and the big house, and there is the Hamptons!! Hee! Hee! 😉
what you want to be a messy cook or live in the hamptons…lol
Any great plans for this week??
i am not a huge fan of hers she uses alot of alcohol in her cooking. but she just did a roasted chicken that looked good roasted garlic and lemon.
You do know that the alcohol cooks off right?? It leaves such a really great taste!!
i am not sure Pauls b-day is friday and we might go to euegne or salem not sure yet what he wants to do
Well, whatever you decide, I hope you guys have fun!! 😉
