I went to the gym and walk on the treadmill for 20 minutes and took a water aerobics class for 30 minutes. It was fun and I will let you know tomorrow how much I feel that work out.
Good morning! Glad you enjoyed your water aerobics, Darlene.
I had a pretty good weekend.
I keep forgetting to say that for the last few months, I've noticed that my water consumption is down to less than 1½ litres a day. I blame the cold weather. I drink at least 6 cups of black and green tea, so I'm not at all concerned, and as far as I can tell, it hasn't had a detrimental effect on my weight loss. Just thought I'd mention it.

Yes, you ARE a devilish little thing for disappearing like that, Shelby Glad to see you back and good job on not gaining while you've been away!
I'm with you on the water consumption, Dishy. Its so easy to guzzle a large glass of water (with a slice of lemon or lime) during the summer, but in the cold, cold winter all I want is hot beverages. Thank goodness for caffeine-free tea.

A doughnut, Jilly! Good job giving it away though. The trouble with my teas is that they're almost all caffeinated, even the green stuff. But it's so good....
I had a pretty good day. I even went past 3 Starbucks without parting with any cash!
Mon 6 Mar:
500 ml coffee with 2 tblsp. half & half.
Zone bar.
1 cup Optimum Slim cereal, 1 oz seedless raisins, ½ cup 0% milk.
½ cup 2% cottage cheese, 1 medium slice w-w bread, raw broccoli and carrot.
3 oz tuna, ½ cup each of peas & sweet corn, 1½ cups whole-wheat noodles.
I've decided to come clean. I'm struggling a bit, but I couldn't figure out what was making me so food crazy.
I've basically stayed the same weight since I made to Onederland 2 weeks ago, which is not that big a deal, but I know I'm eating more than I should and that IS a big deal. So I traced it back two weeks and realized that I'm reacting to losing the 2 daily points (due to losing weight). I know we've talked about this, and now that I know what it is, I think I can do something about it. It's funny, no mater how long we do this, our mind still plays tricks on us!
The good news is that I did meet w/the new trainer on Friday and today I did the new cardio workout that he suggested. The fact that I didn't die/pass out while doing it is a miracle. That being said, doing interval training is much different than what I've been doing, which is basically one machine for a longer period or time. We'll see if it makes any difference, but it did get my heart rate up really high.
I went off it a bit as well after I broke the 200 pound mark, Beth. My lapsing was (I believe) more a psychological thing related to getting into the 100s. Now that you've pinpointed your reason, I'm sure you can deal with it and move forward. Good luck with the new workout routine.
I've been smiling all day after my WI this morning. I'm now bang on 13 stone! It's years since I've been this weight, and it's a pretty big milestone for me. Next stop: 169 pounds, pausing briefly at 174 to celebrate getting out of the "obese" category for BMI.
Tues 7 Mar:
500 ml coffee with 2 tblsp. half & half.
Zone Perfect bar.
1 cup Optimum Slim cereal, 1 oz seedless raisins, ½ cup 0% milk.
½ cup 2% cottage cheese, 2 small slices w-w bread, raw broccoli, carrot, cauli.
Low Sugar Oatmeal
1 cup FF milk
1 banana
1 Smart Ones Lasagna
salad with FF dressing
1 Apple
Scallops stir fried in tbsp olive oil

I went to the gym and walked for 37 minutes on the treadmill and......I got on an elliptical trainer for ten minutes. I think I figured the elliptical trainer out. I have to go a little slower for me to be able to last.
I was better yesterday, I was only over by 2pts, which is ok due to how much exercise. I just don't feel comfortable with the way I'm eating. I guess this is just something new to deal with in the process...sigh.
Exercise: This was my 1st day of interval training! 15 mins ARC + 11 min treadmill + 10 min bike + 8 mins eliptical = boy was I exhausted after this!
Weekly Calories = 1,100/2,000 (target)
My knee seems to be holding up, I'm still wearing the brace that I hate and my doctor's office called to tell me that the injections for my knee (OthroVisc?) are in, she asked when I could come in, Never?
