Posted this at my site, but wanted all kinds of lovin’ from here…
Sucking in my belly all day, against the jeans that are too tight? Because this is my chosen exercise of the day. I joined up over at Pounds2Go. Leanne’s doing something else amazing. And probably exercising. I am too, right now as I type this. I’m sucking in. Hard. It’s like vertical ab work. And doing some light upper arm weight work with my 4 oz. pour of Pinot Grigio. Now this is a diet I can live with. OK, seriously. I am doing these things, but I also drank nearly 2 gallons (really, I measured) of water today, and have only consumed 14 of my 20 alloted WW points. 4 of which were sucked up by that stinky Slim Fast. Won’t do that again. I was only hungry for about an hour, and finally decided, screw that, I need to eat some sort of healthy snack. So I did. A couple of grahams, a Laughing Cow Lite wedge, and some carrots. Yep. Just like queso dip and Fritos. Gack.
Just had to post, to stay current with the motivation groove. All 10 hours of it.
Update, 12:33 am. Couldn’t quit munching on the dinner I made! I probably ate twice what I should! Once I got to dinner, I wasn’t especially hungry, but I made the dumbass mistake of making something I love. Aaaargggh. All the day’s goodness, up in smoke over a stupid chicken broccoli casserole? It’s just not fair! I do not like this counting points/calories thing. I need to live in Europe and be a Botecelli babe. I don’t know how to spell Botecelli. This is just a guess. Good night, sleep tight. Don’t let the chocolate bugs bite.

That’s a good idea, sucking in all day. It’s got to be sort of like the pilates core exercises. At least it can’t hurt!

Mmmm… pinot…. chocolate….
Keep focused, just being aware is a great start!

Your chicken-broccoli casserole sounds dee-lish. As over-indulgences go, it could be worse.
Some days, it’s just really hard to stay on track.

I’ve been trying to teach my daughter how to suck in her abs and keep them sucked in all day. It’s a girl thing, I told her “every girl does this - because if we didn’t, we’d look like men.” haha!
:rofl:

It does help to keep your abs in tight as much as you can, according to a personal trainer that I used to have. It strengthens those muscles and then they help to burn fat.

Slim fast isn’t worth it. But V8 has 0 points!

Absucking.. that sounds like it would have to seriously burn some calories and especially be good for strengthening the tummy/abdominal muscles. Thats where I carry everything. I must try this. Get some of those weight watcher bars to have when you wake up in the night hungry . They are really good and chewy and are only 3 points. That keeps me out of the fridge or noshing on dinner left overs. I can totally relate to trashing a good day with late night grazing.

R2K - cool, glad to know that.
Absucking, that’s sounds, well,
Also, if you have bad posture like me, absucking can NOT be done in a poor posture position. And good posture makes us look leaner naturally.
So suck in your gut, stick out those boobs, and throw those shoulders back!
