Good Morning! The veg chili was a HUGE success! It was so good, even my hubby loved it. I cooked some brown rice and had low fat cheddar cheese and greek yogurt for toppings. YUM! Today I am trying a spaghetti sauce recipe in the crockpot.

Today is a rest day for me and I SO need it! I have strained a muscle in my calf and it is really sore and my foot hurts too. I'm doing some gentle stretches, ice, and rest today.

Yesterday was busy, but wonderful. Great zumba class, had fun at my nephews game and had a lot of fun w/ my niece getting our nails done.

My two oldest nieces have asked me to do their makeup for their semi formal next friday, which will be fun.

Have a great OP day everyone!!!

mj5: good to hear the chili came out good! I didn't get to make mine, we had stir fry instead. Needed to use up some older veggies. :P

But, we got groceries yesterday so we're good for the week so hopefully chili tonight!

I need to rethink my meals.

I've only been having breakfast, lunch and dinner with no snacks.

I'm not exercising so I'm doing 1300 cals which doesn't leave much room for snacks. My back was hurting again but hoping to exercise tomorrow. I feel good today but I work my first long day tomorrow and so I haven't exercised over the weekend. I can not be sore for tomorrow.

Maybe after work? Auuuugh. Unless I'm in pain from the long day, if so I'll do it tuesday. Me and bf decided to do a points challenge together for feb too like on here.

I can't wait to be more active. I need to get on track cuz in June I REALLY want to join a gym.

Mmmm chili! My mom made some turkey chili for us this weekend (WW recipe) and it was sooo yummy! 5 pts for 1.5 cups We splurged and had it over the lower sodium fritos with 1/4 light cheese for an awesome 11 pt meal So good we told her she HAS to make again for superbowl weekend! Hubby also found some Rocco DiSpirito wing and onion ring recipes he wants to try for next weekend! Yay!

Didnt do too bad this weekend. Up a pound but not too worried about it. Could be worse, thats for sure! Hubby (in profile pic w/me) down 3 lbs, for a 12lb total in 2 weeks. Guys!

Im changing my WI to Friday in hopes that will keep me a strong over the weekend. I didnt do bad, but Im sure I could do better

I over did it this weekend.I ate way to much this weekend at the shower for my daughter. Fingerfoods are my biggest downfall!! I did better yesterday but didnt eat like I should have. Today is a new day and getting back on track!!!

Finally got up the nerve to hop an the scale...and I didn't gain, so I must have been doing some things right last week. "mall walk" today with my sister and keeping track of calories...not much else shaking at the moment...need to have a little more coffee.

Have a great op day!!

Hi all. I can't believe it is almost February. I figured I better get in on this thread before it goes away! Ha! Had a good weekend, but I've had to battle to try to stay on plan for food. And, I was really close to talking myself out of working out today. But, I made it to Body Pump. I'm moving slow... it was brutal.

Trying to remain focused. I get distracted so easily. I'll have to stay disciplined! Spin class tomorrow!

Have a good week everyone!
