Weekly Journal Buddy Thread (Sept. 10 to Sept. 16) - 3 Fat Chicks on a Diet Weight Loss Community

DollyR · 09-19-2006, 05:52 AM

I miss this thread. I liked posting what I had eaten and exercised. I also liked to see how everyone else is doing and or doing it.

So.....to begin

Today (Tues.)

I ate:
Oatmeal
2% milk (1 cup)

6 ozs. of Tuna
4 tsp of low fat mayo
1 Apple
1 cup of pineapple

1/4 cup of almonds
boneless pork chop
brussel sprouts

1 skinny cow

I exercised 25 minutes on the elliptical and lifted weights both upper and lower body. I had not been there in a month at the gym and I can tell I will feel it tomorrow.

I hope more people will post on this thread so we can get it going! Have a great day or evening where ever you are in the world!!

I like posting/planning/seeing others' plans as well. I've been posting in the daily planning threads in the Support section, but the more places I post, the more accountability for me!

I stuck to my plan yesterday (eggs, turkey meatballs, sandwich on 100% whole wheat, and banana smoothie) and even walked 3 miles. As for today:

2 eggs
grapes
Lean Cuisine grilled chicken and veggies meal
banana
baked ham w/honey mustard
pineapple chunks (packed in juice, of course)

I had 5.5 liters of water yesterday (and a can of Coke Zero), so I'm aiming for about that same amount today (especially since there's lots of sodium in the Lean Cuisine and in the ham). No exercise today--I felt really sick after my 3-mile walk yesterday, so I'll rest today.

I think I'll join you ladies. I really need the accountablitiy.
Yesterday was a great day. Exercised and stayed within calories.

Today

Oatmeal
Mini wheat bagel

1/2 cup homemade Jambalya
1/2 cup grapes
3 strawberries
celery and 1tb peanut butter
Crystal Light

Big salad with light dressing

granola bar

Already exercised this morning. Did WATP 2 mile with weights

Have a great day everyone!!

It makes me want to work harder I think if I post and show progress. This morning I planned out the meals for breakfast, snack and lunch but dinner just KILLS me. I did well yesterday but I want to keep it up eating better and smaller portions. I will do the same today. I have in my mind a number goal of 240 before Thanskgiving. It would make 17 pounds this year.....not great but not bad either.

I will post later with my meals for the day.

Yesterday I ate:

I ate:
Oatmeal
2% milk (1 cup)

6 ozs. of Tuna
4 tsp of low fat mayo
1 Apple
1 cup of pineapple
brussel sprouts

Ramen
with kimchi
roll with rice, seaweed, veggies, egg, ham

1 skinny cow

I did not do as well as the other day but I kept away from eating between meals and enjoyed everything. I went to the koran snack bar for dinner because I wanted soup. My sinuses hurt and thought a nice hot and spicy soup would be good. I chose ramen instead but I was still feeling a little better after eating that.

Today I go back to the gym. Hopefully my gym buddies will be there.

Hi Girls!

The weekends get me off track as far as posting so forgive me.

On Saturday I ate:

whole grain bread with organic peanut butter
2% milk

ramen with 2 eggs
almonds
skinny cow

then......well it was dining club and it went to heck.

tomato and mozzerella
gnocchi
tiramisu

The dining club is a once a month thing where a bunch of us get together and go to a foreign restaurant here in Seoul. There are some really good places to eat so we try to a different cuisine each time.

Last night was italian. I plan on this being my treat night once a month. Next month we go German. I am on a "scouting mission" so to speak to find the restuarant today so I plan on getting in a lot more walking.
