Hope everyone has a great day today. It's cold here, lite snow and ice last night. Would have loved a snow day but that rarely happens! I'll have my usual breakfast, fiber 1 bar and a piece of fruit. I'll have a lean cuisine and carrots for lunch, haven't planned my dinner yet. Lots of times my husband will grill something and I make an omelet with mushrooms, broccoli and eat a salad. Snacks are fruit or a WW yogurt.
Elf, I admire your dedication. Already back from the gym and it is only 6:30 here! I am not a morning person.
Wow everyone you are doing so good. If we were on biggest loser we would be the team to beat.. I'm glad to see everyone is planning their lunches and even day's that's the best way to stay on track. We are all going to have a good drop in those pounds next week.
Team Captian wow thanks who would not be proud to have such good weight lose friends Well I'm going to get my weight watchers scale today I should not do it , but I think about it all the time I hope it's still there it's on sale for 22.99 I think is a good deal and it's a one person scale. I will have to hide it from eveyone. what if I get on it and it says I weigh more than my old scale , but then again what if it says I weigh less I don't know my scale is old and only nine dollars and the face to it is cracked it is horrible kinda feel sorry for the thing. I had a nice digital one and the kids got out of the shower and stood over it and got it wet so it died. I will put this one under the sink. Well for breakfast yogurt, snack grapes, lunch chili, snack cheese and a v 8 juice dinner hamburgers on whole wheat bread and veggies or a salad I found ground beef with only 4% fat. I try and trick my family in to thinking we are not eating healthy like with the chili they loved it and it ws soooooooooooooo healthy for them. Ok I have to go I'm a chatter box oh steps duh. I have to get mytina's
DMC 15,683 total 80,725
OMW 9,155 total 66,349
Lindy 20,220 total 137,156
Mytina I will call her this morning.
Team total so far is 309,251 Ok we are not half way there and we have 15 days left to get to one million so step it up ladies (you are doing great already look back at the past posts and see how well we are doing) We can get there together If we each walk 12,000 steps a day for the next 15 days we will make it over the one million mark. Let see super women what we can do. WATER today and don't forget your vitamen (very important) Oh and have a wonderful day... I will check in later...
Here we are another day. Elf, how many calories does a Wii burn and what do you do on it? It looks like so much fun!! I can't wait to get mine!
Breakfast is Egg whites, chili for lunch and I eat three pieces of fruit during the day for a snack. Orange, Apple and Banana. The banana packs about 110 calories.
It just seems like everything is so high in calories!
Feeling lighter on the feet, hoping this is a good week and "energizes MY base".
Just wanted to touch base this morning and cheer the team!!
You all are cooking & eating some yummy food. Thanks for the idea's.
oh, and I think LittleLindy should be team leader too... she rocks
and she keeps me on my feet!
Thanks BFF's for all the support, and hooray's for the 8 lbs lost... I am a little skeptical because my body does weird stuff.... see the first week I started this I gained those 8 lbs... so now, I am back to where I started..I will be happy happy when I get back to 135, and know for sure I am doing something right!
I am amazed at the steps you all walk!!! Way to go!
I cooked up some stew for tonights dinner... It will slow cook in the crockpot all day. That Chili sounds delicious LittleLindy!!! drool....
Ok bought a wheight watchers scale. So stupid me steps on it after eating breakfast and two snacks and a cup of chili. duh and it's digital it also had a five wheight memory. Anyways it weighed me three pounds heavier so it said 143 ok not to bad after all the food so I will check in the morning like I always do and see what it says I'm thinking it will say 141 that's ok ...Im kinda sad... I work so hard and it stuck three more pounds on me that stupid wrong wrong wrong old scale. Well we will see in the morning if I have to go back one pound or two I will have to kick butt to get it back down again. So how are you guys doing today? Hello Mytina.. I have to let the scale thing go!! Let it go!!! ok I"m ok (KINDA) I will work out becuase guess what I wanted to do EAT. I stopped myself and sat down and started to write you guys to stop myself. I will think positive and it's not a lot I new it would give me a couple of pounds and I need to wait till in the morning and go from there. OK I am better now. So for dinner I think I will have salad and mmm Not sure veggies, and somthing low carb and low salt for the scale in the morning. ( I said scale again. LOL) Ok Have to go and get my work out in before my son get's home at three it's one thirty here now so I will talk to you later. I will not stress eat I will not stress eat. KK
Okay, so I had my chile and potato and it felt like a carb fest
I was still hungry because of stress so I had a cup of French Vanilla and it has taken off the edge.
My pants feel tighter today! Why!!! Oh well, no stressing, no over eating.
Lindy, stay the course!!! I am not gonna buy a new scale until I am way down. I don't want to be distracted. I was gonna but na huh, no way!
Back on later today with my ped post! We are doing great, not back tracking, c'mon ALL, we have a great head start on all the holiday eating, come january, we will be ahead of the game!!
Lindy,
Here's my 2 cents on the scale thing. You think you started at 150 and now weigh 140. If your scale was incorrect, that means you started at 153 and now weigh 143. You still lost 10 pounds no matter what. That is a great accomplishment and something you should be extremely proud of. We can't get too caught up in the scale, it's more about changing unhealthy habits and getting plenty of exercise.
Hi to everyone else. I'll post steps later. I'm heading to the treadmill!
Omw you are right and just made me feel so much better I just work so hard and having a husband who is skinny not skinny he's five seven and is 167 and three kids that can eat till they are blue and stay thin it's hard to stay with the program. So when the scale goes up I get sad. I will keep on track and like DMC says in Jan. when eveyone is starting we will be almost half way done.
Well I did work out today did the two mile brisk walk with bands and pumped it up made me really work.
So I did ok I had a yogurt, fat free chips, salsa, chili,lean cuisen pizza for dinner I will have a ww bar and will still have only 20 points I need to eat 23 a day. So how did everyone do today what did you have and I need new dinner Ideas. I think tomorrow I will make the juicy hamburgers 4% fat with wheat bread and a salad. I got my schedule for the first three days of school I will be going from nine in the morning till four. the 7,8, and ninth and I have a paper due on the 12th (its a LPN refresher course) then the program for 16 weeks and graduation in May. Ok I will check in later I'm going to try and work out again tonight. I already have 13,000 steps so if I do a work out I should go over 16,000. Hugs to everyone and keep going we are are are doing it...
Oh LittleLindy listen to onmyway... she is right... no matter what you lost the 10 lb & that is huge!! .... DMC~ maybe that time of the month is coming? Idk but don't stress about the 'pants feeling tighter'... I think us women tend to get 'bloated' or retain water easy... if you are drinking more water than usual that just may be the case. so many things to consider....
Lindy~ you are kicking butt on that Ped. .. geesh, sorry everyone I didn't even hook it on today... the day was hopping, forgot to put it on this morning... still learning that thing anyway... and I know it isn't counting steps for me correctly. I will not stress on that, or let it distract me either... stay focused.. Lindy~ I am so jealous you got that cool WW scale... Luckeeeeeee!! if you don't know about this scale Lindy got ask her about it... it is way cool!
K.. well, I am having a small portion of beef stew tonight. It is COLD here in Northern Cali... and I don't think it's much warmer anywhere else... goodnight BFF's!
I pulled a muscle in my butt and in my shoulder so i'm not working out tonight. I did today around two thirty so that is good . Ok tomorrow is another day and I'm kicking butt I'm going to do my three mile walk tape with the belt. Thx mytina for your support and everyone I'm tired to and going to bed early. My dog keeps waking me up every two hours the last two nights I don't know whats wrong with him ... I'm hoping he sleeps tonight so I can. Good night all my weigh in BFF's .. Have a good rested night and I will do the steps in the morning. Oh I have 13,443 steps for the day I also played horse shoes with my son we play one game every night so I walk back and forth getting the shoes we are tied two and two LOL. Good night.
Talk to you in the morning
I didn't do so great on Steps today and tomorrow might be the same. BUT, I might pull out one of my Walk Away the Lbs tomorrow night I don't want to go to the gym, there isn't a class I like on Weds. or Thursday and the one I like on friday I can only go to every other. Whew!
Okay, my steps for today is 6000. See, not so good. But I had a meeting and will have same tomorrow making it impossible to walk on my break!
I ate my Egg whites in the morning and chili on small baked potato for lunch. Dinner was just a half cup pasta with small dab Smart Balance and pinch of parmasian, chicken with BBQ and that was it. Oh.. I had an apple.
I just got back from taking DD to store for "skinny jeans"... OMG they start early!~ She is getting so big!!! She is only 9 and her feet are bigger than mine. She is gonna be tall!
Everyone is doing so great. Back on tomorow and probably more of the same until the weekend when I can get my bootie to the gym!
Tomorrow, chicken salad, maybe some cereal for Breakfast,. I need to go to the store, I need more calcium!!
This is fun
I'm glad to see everyone is planning their lunches and even day's that's the best way to stay on track. We are all going to have a good drop in those pounds next week.
