Part 3 March Daily Accountability/Lifestyle Change Everyone Welcome!
Hello Everyone! Welcome to the March Check-In! Let's make it a great month!
I want to welcome everyone to the Daily Accountability Check-In. Our goal is to stay accountable and on track by posting our daily food and exercise choices. All food and exercise programs are welcome. Consistency is the key to reaching our weight loss goals.
Introduce yourself or jump right in and tell us what you have been doing.
So I got my daughter on the bus and decided to get my exercise taken care of. I did 20 minutes of kickboxing and then I biked 11 miles. I'm ready for a nice hot shower, but first I went to get some water for the dogs, turn on the faucet and nothing comes out. Apparently our water main busted. I talked to a guy a bit ago and he said the water is going to be off for a while. So I've been sitting around feeling nasty. What a pain in the butt. =P
Ohhhh boy am I glad to see you here Thread Number 3
hehe
Great job Kris!!!!!!!
stacy - Glad you are both feeling better today There are only 2 of us in the house and I cook, so he eats what I make. You're such a good person making 3 different meals, so nice
Pint - Glad to hear your accident issues are on there way to being solved, that must be a huge relief, that's great news
Tina – 30lbs down forever!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Congrats!!!!! : My DH has most of his family here, on his mums side anyway. Most of his dad’s side is still in Hong Kong, we have never been there to visit.
Tina / Diana – I think a weekly thread would be great, good idea
Kim - Great job getting in all that exercise and I hope your water is fixed soon.
So everyone in my office (I have an externship on Thursdays) wanted to walk to this hip "grilled cheese truck" that moves around downtown. I didn't want to be the party pooper so I joined in. I got gruyere on wheat... the bread was a good size but it wasn't SUPER loaded with cheese. What would yall estimate for the calorie count? The worst grilled cheese on My Plate was sonic's, so I'm putting that down for now....
Breakfast
Kashi Go Lean + Protein Power + Almond Milk = 310 cals
Plan for Dinner
Veggie Stir Fry + Egg Whites = 230 cals
... If I'm guessing right about the grilled cheese count, I have room for a protein shake or other snack, but I'm worried that 440 is an underestimate!
Took us 9 days to get through the first thread this month and only 6 days to get through the second! I think a weekly thread would be great! Kind of a new start every week! Had to catch up quickly. Got in 2 cardio workouts today, first was the 2 miles on the treadmill this morning and second was a 3 mile walk out in this beautiful weather we are having today! All showered up and getting ready to head off to my hair appt. I am super excited about getting my hair done! I have put it off for way too long. It takes about 2 1/2hours to get my hair foiled though, I have a lot of hair, and my butt starts to go numb sitting in that chair. Also, I am tall and my hairdresser is short so I scrunch down in the chair for her most of the time. It will be worth it when it is done.
Lady, congrats on the 30 pounds gone mark! I think what you are noticing in public is that attitudes are contagious and yours has been fantastic!
DianaLa, another 2 gone,
Catch the rest of you later! Sunshine puts me in such a good mood!!!
Thanks Berry, Diana, Kim, Stacy, Lauren and Jo for the congrats! I feel really excited... to keep on truckin'!!
LLBold, sorry.. I'm terrible at estimating calories in restaurant food. I'm sure it wasn't too bad. I guess for a round about figure you could estimate the cheese.. like 2-3oz. of gruyere and look that up and same with the bread.
Jo, thanks for that amazing compliment! I guess that could be true.. I don't walk with my head down anymore trying to avoid "the look".
Shells - LOL I guess I did congratulate you! I read that wrong...but whatever, you're doing GREAT, so there!!
Sum - MSU fans, eh? We are too! I've never been in that area of MI before. Ahhh, I miss MI...
Vixsin - "I just have to say out loud that I am NOT defined by my scale!!!! I am defined by how good I feel and the changes I can now see and feel on the inside and out!"
LOVE this!!
Lauren - Congrats on the 1.3!!
MamaP - Kudos to you for avoiding the krispy kremes! I'd rather have the greek yogurt too! Love that stuff!
Pint - I'm glad things are looking up!!! Minus the tire. But, you got some really good news today! Woo hoo!
Lady - Congrats on 30 pounds!!! I can't wait to see your progress pics!!
