I saw something as I took a shower earlier tonight, my bellay! And it's bigger than it should be so I'm giving up crap food. Pretty much this means no more cookies, chocolate, brownies, pastries, blah de blah, and most importantly, NO MORE HERSHEYS COOKIES N CREME BARS!

I know, it's quite a sacrifice, but I still love them from afar!

WISH ME LUCK FORUM GOERS >=D

I bid thee the best of luck to ever cross your path.

I gotta get on the same track as well. no more late night ice cream. >_>

Coconutty93 · « **Reply #2 on:** January 04, 2009, 12:37:10 am »

Well, what the heck! What am I supposed to do with those Hershey's Cookies 'n Cream bars I was gonna bring on Monday?

I can't help it...

melchizedek · « **Reply #10 on:** January 04, 2009, 06:22:04 am »

So . . . um I think giving up sweets 100% is a recipe for failure.

another suggestion: Limit yourself to suits only as a reward.

Like cookies and cream only if you got your run in, or X servings of veggies.

BigGuy · « **Reply #11 on:** January 04, 2009, 08:10:19 am »

I agree, let yourself have sweets once in a while, but try to limit the size. That way you don't go all berserk and down 10 candy bars one day and feel bad about it.

NightLotus · « **Reply #12 on:** January 04, 2009, 10:41:03 am »

good luck! i could never bring myself to do that! O_O

Coconutty93 · « **Reply #13 on:** January 04, 2009, 11:56:39 am »

True that. Maybe it would just be better to have junk food OCCASIONALLY...>.>

oslapedo · « **Reply #14 on:** January 04, 2009, 01:06:20 pm »

Maybe... but I at least want to go all the rest of January without a single sweet!

oslapedo · « **Reply #15 on:** January 04, 2009, 01:27:38 pm »

Okay so I have the worst conviction ever. I'm currently nomming on a Hershey's Cookies n Creme bar!

I'll let it be my one exception

,,,

Coconutty93 · « **Reply #16 on:** January 04, 2009, 01:29:47 pm »

-_- So not cool.

oslapedo · « **Reply #17 on:** January 04, 2009, 01:31:20 pm »

What I mean is I won't eat any sweets except for Hershey's Cookies n creme bars. They're just too good to pass up xD

Coconutty93 · « **Reply #18 on:** January 04, 2009, 01:31:58 pm »

Ooooohhh...that makes me feel better. xD

oslapedo · « **Reply #19 on:** January 04, 2009, 01:37:22 pm »

Okay so I'm horrible... I'm eating a snickers nutcracker and now I owe Shay $50 because I bet her I wouldn't eat any chocolate xDDD

Coconutty93 · « **Reply #20 on:** January 04, 2009, 01:42:04 pm »

$50?!?!?! Why would you bet $50 so early on?! xD Jeez, now it's gonna be even harder to get all of your cosplays done.

oslapedo · « **Reply #21 on:** January 04, 2009, 01:48:20 pm »

I know, I wanted to do it to stay motivated xD

Coconutty93 · « **Reply #22 on:** January 04, 2009, 01:49:23 pm »

Motivation doesn't always work. >.<

jaybug · « **Reply #23 on:** January 04, 2009, 06:50:30 pm »

I was thinking about teasing you, but to have lost control already so soon. nevermind sigh

How about doing some crunches, instead of eating them? At least you'll have a toned tummy even if you can't stop. Me first, right? lol

Yes, I need to too.

melchizedek · « **Reply #24 on:** January 04, 2009, 08:35:00 pm »

actually, I heard crunches are counter productive for making a flat belly. Building muscle just mixes with the fat and then is even harder to slim down.

Orly? ~gasp~ Crud, dude! Now I've got nothing! xD Jk. I'll figure something out...>.> Maybeh...

makichan · « **Reply #26 on:** January 04, 2009, 08:46:06 pm »

A $50 bet would be enough to keep me away from candy for a long while... but then again, I'm hella cheap. Haha.

Coconutty93 · « **Reply #27 on:** January 04, 2009, 08:47:32 pm »

It would be for me, too. xD I only eat candy when there's nothing else good to eat.

jaybug · « **Reply #28 on:** January 04, 2009, 09:26:56 pm »

Well, crunches would do that if you put heavy plates on your belly. But have you ever seen a marathoner with a bulging belly? Light and many, those are key. Few and heavy bulks up. Unless you are talking Bud light, then many of those and you get a bulging belly.

Arnold Schwarzenegger's book, don't ask me the title, states that you should exercise the abdominals, the forearms and the lower legs everyday. This is because they are used to do anything at all on a daily basis, so they are the hardest to train to what you desire.

So I am not talking doing 30 crunches with 100 pounds on your belly. More like doing 300 crunches with varying techniques morning noon and night.

Other good ones to try, stairs, walk them. Or go dig holes, like in the movie. I bet those kids got in really good shape.

MiriaRose · « **Reply #29 on:** January 04, 2009, 10:02:54 pm »

Speaking of giving me giant cookies and creme bars, Kameko, didn't you say you would give me one a while back, Kameko? xD

Anyways, I couldn't ever give up sweets. >.> Trust me, I've tried.

Syd-chan · « **Reply #30 on:** January 04, 2009, 11:36:24 pm »

...Hm. I've been looking for something to do with food, some wtf. ....A whole month without sweets....That would be something to brag about. XD WHOO. I'm gonna start tonight. >3>

oslapedo · « **Reply #31 on:** January 05, 2009, 01:53:50 am »

Oh you silly I'm not skinnier than you! You're eensy weensy!

jaybug · « **Reply #32 on:** January 06, 2009, 04:26:41 pm »

I still have some Halloween candy to give away. Anyone need some? I don't.

Coconutty93 · « **Reply #33 on:** January 06, 2009, 07:32:54 pm »

~needs to excersize~ ...what would be good excersizes to do...?

jaybug · « **Reply #34 on:** January 06, 2009, 07:46:54 pm »

vacuuming the house for 1/2 hour or better. mowing the lawn, do not use a self-propelled mower! wash and wax the car, bonus if you vacuum and wash the windows. Dig holes and fill them with your former friends. Seriously, that's why they cal;l it houseWORK. I sweat like a pig when I vacuum. But then I have also been doing heavy lifting changing out the fish tank water, and using the old water for my houseplants.

time chore
20 min vacuuming
1 hour aquarium/houseplants
1 hour wash car
20 min vacuum car
10 min wash car windows

I do try to hurry to increase the exercise factor. That and If I try to wash the car slowly, it only gets soap dried on it, and needs to be re-washed.

Go for a walk.

Coconutty93 · « **Reply #35 on:** January 06, 2009, 07:49:56 pm »

Biking would help too I guess...

DancingTofu · « **Reply #36 on:** January 07, 2009, 02:02:15 am »

Removing sweet foods from your diet won't make you skinny. Eating a balanced diet based on your metabolism will. The gratuitous amounts of junk food I eat cause my metabolism to be very high, which allows my body to process the gratuitous amount of dairies, fruits, grains, and nuts I have to eat as a vegetarian to keep my mineral and vitamin rates at a healthy level. Avoid junk foods that make you feel drowsy or full and try to find foods that give you energy. Eating right is never as simple as giving up.

They make no engine mowers, those ones are lots of exercise and have no carbon footprint

True, but you had better mow your lawn everyday. Especially during Spring, when the grass grows so incredibly high, otherwise those no engine reel type lawn mowers will not be able to cut the grass. Also if you don't cut everyday, it is harder and harder to push the mower around.

Oh, and it does leave a carbon footprint, your own exhaust gases as you puff and you huff while pushing the thing around! lol I suppose by the same token you should not use sheep, as they may produce an abundance of methane gas. Too bad, sheep cut grass to 1/2 inch in height. Perfect!

melchizedek · « **Reply #39 on:** January 07, 2009, 10:55:10 pm »

The every day grass is no match for those with macho

Coconutty93 · « **Reply #40 on:** January 07, 2009, 10:56:28 pm »

So true, so very true. Funny thing is, I know someone who thinks that mowing the lawn is hot. xD
