Right on plan today:
Breakfast: 1/2 wheat bagel with 1 t. cream cheese
Snack: 1.5 ounce almonds (eaten throughout the day)
Lunch: Taco salad (hooray for leftovers!)
Dinner: 4 ounces beer butt chicken (skin removed), and 1/2 cup macaroni and cheese. (There were veggies a dinner too but I didn't eat them - Peas, blech! but the kids like them so I just skipped it and will have a salad or a piece of fruit a little later).

Tomorrow will definately include some sort of exercise.

Dinner: 2 lamb chops and vegies with mint sauce and tomato sauce
Snacks: 2 coffees, cup of tea, low fat custard with tinned fruit and one small square of chocolate (already ate that! )

Anyone else find the motivation for exercising hard? As in there are 110 other things to do BEFORE I can even think about exercising.

Getting around to exercising hard? Yup! It one habit that I can fall out of faster than swish. Suddenly, it's weeks since I did anything. Like weights .... which I haven't done since Sunday.

Today my shake is raspberry. In my lunch I have cottage cheese, soy cheese and chicken and vegetables.

I don't know about supper.

I'd like to bike but later but .... like High C says ....

My procrastination method of choice today is assessing how my week is going. I' averaging 1646 calories in and only 1741 out! My activities are only 12%!
My percents are protein 23, carbs 41 and fats 31.

That's no way to treat a body someone called "Skinny Mini" today.

Snack
0% fat greek yoghurt
1 tbsp honey

Lunch
turkey, hummus, carrot, cucumber

Snack
protein shake

gym - full body workout. I might actually have the energy to get to the gym today with a couple more nice carbs in me

Snack
turkey sandwich on 1 sl whole wheat

Dinner
1/2 thin crust margerita pizza <------- MMMMMMMM CARBS!

Just say NO to maltesers!

Yesterday was much better. 1333 cals in. protein 39%-carbs 37%-fats 23%.
I biked and did some weights.

That's more like it and more likely for someone else to think I'm a skinny mini .... ie, me!

Hye gang back from my little vacation with DH in the Laurentian Mountains, it was great!! We biked 30k in the mountains on Wednesday, it was really tough at times... Thursday no exercise we drove home, well, I kinda did walk a lot in the malls we stopped by on the way... Food was so so, I didn't have any junk per se but I didn't eat 100% clean either...

Today I am going to the gym for legs ... And food will be spot on even if we are going to a spaghetti supper at some friends tonight...

I'm gonna do BFL!! I am! I'm telling everyone! I'm doing BFL!!! Shout at me if I'm doing non-BfL style things!

I think the most important part will be the weights workouts.

Tomorrow is weigh and measure day - height and everything! I WILL take those embarassing bikini photos! DO I have to pull a frowny face too?

I've got 11 weeks till the wedding - I shoudda started last week!

Hi Ilene! It sounds like you and DH spent a lovely time together.
Jenfrus ... you have to look sad in the before pictures.

It's raining here. Sort of drizzly on and off. I might get a bike ride in but I think I'm going to take a page out of LynneA's book. She did cardio with weights mixed in yesterday. I think I'll put on my monitor and work my way through a game show or two. Nice change.

As for food. I have lots of wonderful stuff here and 1250 sounds like a nice calorie number to shoot for.

Well, that was another week o'nottin'.
Honestly I let myself be lead by the nose. I didn't try and that's why I have no
results to report.
September will be better.

A new thread would be great. I'm going to be out of touch while our phone and things get changed over but if I have a chance I'll be watching you all!
