My First Day on a Diet: An Intro to Journaling

[chefkathy]

Colleen--love the idea! I need to revamp my host coaching anyway.Meg--can you drop by the restaurant when your friend isn't there and the cook is?

 

[BigSisGretchen]

I am going to eat like a pig for the rest of the day and whenever someone asks me why I am going to say "Mary said that I could"

She is eating dinner at my house. I read the thread . . . "Mary said . . ." won't work here!

good idea...now I just have to figure out when that is! In a way, I think if she were there, he would be more responsive to talking to me. I am not trying to hound him, but I know how much he admired the products, especially the knives! What a great thing to be able to offer him!
I will call Debbie at home and ask when she won't be at the restaraunt and go from there!

Could you just leave a note for for him to contact you? Maybe attach a flier of the three knife incentive and say that you are taking a chance because you don't want him to miss out on this since they don't offer it all the time.

 

[pamela]

very good idea! I think I will run by there today!

WE're off to a great start hopefully! I have a couple who are planning to sign in the next week or two, then a past host called me totally out of the blue because she wants to start too! She thought about it over a year ago, but at that time, it was mainly just to get the kit. I wasn't too disappointed when she decided not to do it back then. Now she wants to do it with a friend (but just she would sign) and her goal is one show a week. I dropped off the recruiting packet last night after my show (it was 11 pm when I dropped it off! And she was excited to get it...I think she was waiting up for me even though I said it would be late and I'd just leave it). So, let's hope that's another one!

Keep 'em coming! Keep posting updates too....that's always inspirational!

Just met up with a Feb host. She's a barista at my fav coffee shop and she had to ask ME about PC! DUMMY ME!!!! I'm always wearing PC clothes in public and carrying the Ribbon Tote as my purse. I was a walking billboard but never asked these ladies....sigh. Lesson learned.Anyway, she booked a Feb show and it was easier (and yummier ) for us to meet in person at the coffee shop to give her a host packet and do host coaching. Guess what? She is considering the business!!!!! I gave her the DVD and Opp Brochure and I'm going to call her next week.I also have an interview next Friday 1/25 with a guest from an October show.God is good!

 

[pamela]

I think you can add TPC in recruiting to your signature right about now!

I don't know about that just yet....I'm gunning for personal sales, though.

As pumped as everyone is now about the new cooking show format and inviting EVERYONE I wouldn't be surprised if those who earn it in recruiting double or triple!! I admire those who do it in sales that is quite an accomplishment!!

Ok...yesterday morning we went to the gym...I did 10 minutes on the bike and some arm weights...

For breakfast I had cereal...

for lunch I had a turkey and cheese wrap with 14 pringles

for dinner I had Bar-B-Q Chicken Ring from the All The Best cookbook.

 

[BigSisGretchen]

You lost 3 . . . I better get my A** in gear so I pass you . . . I can't have you catch me!

 

[chefheidi2003]

I just realized today that I haven't posted for a few days...

so I will start with yesterday...

We did not go to the gym...TOO LAZY!!

for breakfast I had a bowl of oatmeal...I am sorry but one packet of oatmeal is not enough...so I always eat 2...I also had some milk with it...

For snack I had a Special K bar...

For lunch we had Stromboli...I know that that was not the best for me but we went to my boss's house and his wife had surgery last week and she is at home so I wanted to see her...and they didn't have any diet soda so I had a Dr Pepper...but usually when I drink soda it is diet...I also had a few chips...

For dinner my mom made potpie...MMMM...here in PA Dutch Country we don't make potpie like everyone else...ours looks nothing like a pie...so let me tell you it is pretty much like chicken and dumplings...

then we had the last of my mom's ice cream cake.

 

[chefheidi2003]

We went to the gym yesterday morning...30 minutes on the tread mill...

For breakfast I had a bowl of cereal...

2 cups of coffee...and a chocolate Truffle...(it was a small one...:blushing

For Lunch I had an egg salad sandwich and pringles...

For afternoon snack I had a 100 calorie pack...and a chocolate truffle...(boss's daughter gave them to me...what can I say...I have NO will power :blushing

For dinner Gretchen made Meatloaf...mashed potatoes...and mixed veggies.

 

[chefheidi2003]

I know that usually I would post this tomorrow...but I was wondering...if I go to the gym...and they are not open due to the lock being broken and they don't know when the lock smith will be there...Do I still get an A for Effort??

Of course you do. Now at lunch time take a small trip around your office building and you will get an A+.

Spike heels on a stone lot doesn't work out too well...lol.

 

[chefheidi2003]

OK...so as I stated yesterday we "went" to the gym but we didn't work out due to them being closed...so even though it will not help me goals...I am giving myself an A for Effort...I should get something for getting up at 5am...

For Breakfast my mom made me eggs and toast...

I had a special k bar...

for Lunch I had 2 slices of pizza and fries...also iced tea...

For supper last night...I had Lobster Bisque...a pasta appetizer...and a Ribeye...also diet soda...

We didn't have dessert...we were too stuffed...

 

[chefheidi2003]

Ok so here is yesterday's.....

For Breakfast I had oatmeal...and coffee....

then I had a 100 calorie pack....

For lunch I had a cup-o-noodle....but that didn't fill me up as well as I had hoped...so I had a special K bar...then later in the afternoon I had another 100 calorie pack...

For dinner I had Spaghetti...let me just share this...my mom used a Tomato and Basil Organic Sauce from Prego...MMMMM...it was soooo good...it had like a sweetness to it...and I had cheesy bread.

then last night before bed I was hungry so I had a peice of Bologna...

Oh yeah I almost forgot...yesterday was my Uncle's Birthday so we had cake for that....and I had coffee with it...

Heidi you are soo cute! And I have to agree..Cream Puff cake is the best! I make it when we go somewhere and there is never any leftovers

 

[chef_kimmo]

Heidi you are working on it so don't be down on yourself for a little piece of cake here and there.

Ok...so I gained a pound this week...let me tell you though...I was proud of that...I was afraid that I had gained more...I eat when I am depressed...so I have been eating everything in sight since Sunday morning...I am really in a funk about our pastor leaving so I have just been eating...so only gaining 1 pound is great for me.

You are still okay. You can get through this and you can do it . . . I am behind you . . . going to the gym is a big accomplishment . . . keep up the good work.
