Hey ladies!

Sorry I've been MIA. I'm still catching up on all the posts that have been made.

I have a really bad cold, so my days haven't been so upbeat. I'm getting better though.

Anyway, I love the idea of a challenge.

11/12 Menu

Breakfast: Kashi with soy milk and banana
decaffeinated tea

Snack: grapes
water with lemon

Lunch: small salad
water with lemon

Dinner: Lentil soup
water with lemon

Dessert: Warm Silk soy milk pumpkin spice flavor (so good!)

I followed my plan, so I was happy. I just wish I could kick this cold. When you're sick, the last thing you want to do is plan out your food for the day. I have to make a promise to myself to post my menu everyday. Even when it's a good day, I feel a little embarrassed to post. I'm not sure why. Maybe because it's a real eye opener to see what I put in my body, whether it's good or bad.

LeedaRenee 11-13-2007 06:47 AM

Wow, was it like this last time,with the teams losing so many people? I know the blue team has also lost a few.

I thought I would post this recipe. It's for santa fe rice and beans, and it's very close to the WW recipe. I tried it yesterday, only using brown rice instead of white. I know a lot of people like the santa fe rice and beans (either WW or LC), so I thought I'd share it here. It was pretty darn delicious.

Yes, I am at goal now! I feel good about that, but I have to say that my calories have been low but my eating has not been all that healthful. I have had some big unexpected expenses, and that's what always affects my food budget as far as quality food, then I feel bad about what I eat, then I feel stressed, then I want to eat junk, then I feel even more stressed.

I didn't read about the challenge until this morning, so I wasn't consciously keeping track but I think I ate:

11/12

B ww muffin with Canadian bacon, poached egg, cheese

L half a meatball

S lots of popcorn (plain) 1/2 piece of red licorice

D chili

S vanilla ice cream with chocolate sauce

S almonds and an orange

There were a bunch of veggies in the chili!

Just to clarify...do we post today's menu as well and then update it tomorrow?

Hun.e.B 11-13-2007 09:38 AM

you dont have to post todays menu if you dont want to, but you can, its just an extra step to keep yourself on plan...failing to plan is planning to fail! And then by posting up yesterdays meal you are holding yourself accountable and hopefully its giving you that little extra help to stick to plan because you know you have to report back.

I'm going to do something in my ticker to keep track of days on plan.

Running a bit late so I'll have to be back to check up on everyone. So exciting to see it going strong this morning!! Way to be supportive Red team!! Here's what I ate yesterday:

Breakfast - sausage, coffee w/ cream
snack - pepperoni's w/ cream cheese
Lunch - hot sauce chicken, celery
snack - bonbell cheese, beef and turkey stick(HIGH sodium!!)
Dinner - steak, romaine salad
And I got almost 99 oz of water!!! Yay!

Okay gotta get kids rolling and breakfast made, no thread for results yet that may have to wait! I dont see a win for this week though I think we only lost .12% after the gains. Such is life and we are still chugging away!! Its gonna be the most successful 10 days yet because we will all be sticking to plan for 10 straight days!!

Have a fabulous day Red team!!

Idealmuse 11-13-2007 01:05 PM

One thing I notice is we could all work on adding some more veggies. I'm very guilty of this myself. Its always a bit of a struggle to fit them in... I'm not a big fan, but I've come to accept them more. It seems like they are still sorely under-represented in my menus though even though I sorta try to eat more. Its hard with no really having the time to cook proper dinners right now. Maybe I should get a salad for dinner. :)

Shay 11-13-2007 01:21 PM

Muse--Getting more fruits and veggies is something I am always working on. Some days I do better than others. What has been helping me are the Steamed Veggies that I believe Bird's Eye makes. I know, I know...I could buy the veggies fresh and buy steamer bags myself but that is not happening. I'm going to the store today and I am planning to buy steamed veggies, raspberries, blackberries, and bananas.

Hun.e.B 11-13-2007 11:43 PM

Sheesh i never did get back to everyone today, and its almost 10pm. Havent watched biggest loser yet, that may have to wait till tomorrow darn it! I had another on plan day thats 2 down for me!! How's everyone else doing?

Today's Menu
BF--waffles, veggie sausage, coffee with sf flavored creamer
S--100 calorie pack
L--Frozen Meal and yogurt
S--fruit salad

My Thursday and Friday menus will be almost planned too. I have a workshop that I'm going to. I helped organize it so I'm going Thursday afternoon to help set up, stay the night, and the workshop is all day Friday. Thursday night after set up the whole group wants pizza. Of course they do. On Friday lunch is catered. All I can do is set points aside and use my extra flex points and hope I don't go over. When I went to that conference a few weeks back that worked. I actually didn't use all of the points I set aside so hopefully that works this time around too. I hope so. I don't have any worries about gaining I just don't want to post another maintain. I want a loss. We shall see.

LeedaRenee 11-14-2007 07:29 AM

YEsterday's menu:

Santa fe rice and beans

Diva 11-14-2007 08:30 AM

Good morning evryone. I am JUST now watching TBL. I already know what's gonna happen because I read Izzy's myspace blog, so I am "sort of" watching. All I know is now I want some damn Krispey Kreams! grrrrrrr

Ok, here's what I ate yesterday:

B- Coffee w/cream & Splenda
5 oz Fruit medly- Canalpoe-pineapple, grapes
Ham & Cheese omelette
TBSP Olive Oil
1 c. 2% Milk

S- 100 calorie carrot cake

D- lemmon pepper Fish filets
Summer squash sauteed in Olive Oil (2 TBSP)

S- Ham & Cheese rolled up

LOTS of Water

It all came out to 1507 calories & 68 Carbs. Not too shabby.

Hun.e.B 11-14-2007 09:13 AM

LOL Diva...you made me laugh this morning!! You dont need no stinking Krispy Kremes! They did look good though didnt they?

Good Morning Girls!

Here's what I ate yesterday:

Breakfast: scrambled eggs w/ ham, coffee
no snack(was in classes all morning till 2pm)
lunch: all beef hotdog, mustard, cucumbers, slice of cheese
snack: diet rootbeer, leftover steak slices, celery stick
dinner: chicken tender, broccoli, alfredo sauce

I need to be putting my stuff in fitday, I know I'm sticking to plan because I am watching my carb counts and thats the plan but I should pay a little better attention to make sure I'm eating enough. Thats the trouble with this plan is I'm not hungry so I just have to make myself eat during the day and I grab whatever.

I need to go grocery shopping....booohisss!!

I think my dh has developed gallstones. He is doing lc w/ me but during the day if he doesnt get a lunch he'll go all day long without eating. So he's not really doing lc he's super low calorie then dinner is higher fat. Last night shortly after dinner (although dinner didnt have a ton of fat, just the 10 grams in the alfredo sauce) he got a stomach ache and then the pain was in his gall bladder area, he couldnt breathe, I thought he was having a heart attack....sounds like gallbladder right? Of course he wouldnt go to the ER, then about 45 mins later it was gone.

Alright I have to get minutes typed up from my parent meeting last night I want them there first thing this morning so I'll be back to check on everyone!!

Have a wonderful day!!

~melissa

Diva 11-14-2007 10:19 AM

Girlfriend, Krispy Kreme's and mexican food. Those are my 2 weaknesses right there. It is SOOOOOOOOOOOOO hard to go past them Donoughts that they are now selling @ my Walmart, grrrrrrrrrrrrr...Problem is , I can't eat just 1. They are like Lay's potato chips that way! LOL! I grew up with them damn donuts. My Dad used to bring them home all the time, but my weight problem didn't start until my late 30's so it was ok back then, lol!

I am trying very hard to NOT go over 70 carbs a day. I wish I could get it to less than that, but I just can't. I don't see how y'all can do 25 or less carbs a day but I do envy you. Maybe one day I can get to that. It's a goal. I guess I am doing a backwards Atkins, hehe! I cannot eat eaggs everyday. :( So I am finding myself choosing. When and where I want to have my carbs. Either @ Dinner or breakfast. It all is really going to depend on what we are having for dinner. Yesterday was excellent, today a bit harder. Lunch is easy because I have always ate veggies, so that's an easy choice. Sucks being poor. I can't always afford to eat differnt foods than the rest of the family, but I am trying. When they are having mashed taters, mac & cheesssse and Stove top, I am having veggies...squash, zucchini, brocoli, a mixed veggie bag from Walmart...Whatever..I thought I was gonna slip a 1/2 cup of mac & cheese last night until I saw how many carbs is in a 1/2 c.serving (33). I was like WHATEVER! LOL!

Anywho, I had a Carb breakfast (yup, had my Special-k), so I am gonna go try and burn some of that off with the WATP's and have NO more today.

mariposita 11-14-2007 10:51 AM

Yesterday:
B: Egg white, Canadian bacon, and cheddar cheese omelet. Shredded wheat. Coffee
S: popcorn
L: apple
D: spaghetti and meatballs. Salad
S: Shredded wheat.

Have a successful day everyone! I'm off to work today, then class tonight, with errands squeezed in.

Hun.e.B 11-14-2007 11:19 AM

Diva...I'm thinking you should take a different approach to carbs, because carbs really are very good for you, they give you energy and the are vital to brain function. I can completely understand the problem of having to make 2 different meals. I think you should not look so much at the number of carbs but work towards eating the right carbs. Like you said...mac n cheese...NOT good carbs! The thing with doing lowcarb is you either are or you arent. The point of eating that low of carbs is to put your body into ketosis which means you are burning fats and using those fatty acids for energy rather than carbs. So for instance I'm doing lowcarb and got into ketosis but then I eat higher carbs, I throw myself out of ketosis (probably have a little gain) but when I get back to doing lowcarbs it takes you a couple of days to get back into burn mode. So its not like with low cal you just burn off those extra calories. Does that make sense? I think you are doing great with your menus, if you want to have special K and skim milk for breakfast..do it! But saying no to white potatos, stuffing, mac n cheese is only going to get you that much ahead of the game. My opinion is focus on good carbs not low carbs. Cutting out the sugar and the flour is like taking the devil out of your body LOL! I just dont want to see you getting frustrated or thinking you arent doing good enough because from what I see on your menus it looks great. After thanksgiving I am moving into this same approach. More fruits and veggies and even some whole grains. Just no sugar and flour products.

Ann...have you tried the cinnamon struesel shredded wheat?? So yummy!!

Leeda...hows everything going? You didnt eat much yesterday I hope you are feeling okay.

Shay...what is couscous like? I saw in a lowcarb cookbook they show you how to make a cauliflower "couscous" but I imagine that'd just have the bitter taste of cauliflower.

Muse...LOL, you sound like me when groceries are low..just whatever you can find! I hope you make it to the market, while you are at it would ya do mine too? Ugh I hate that place!!

Tera...I'm so sorry to hear that you arent feeling well. Tis the season for those darn colds, at least I hope thats all it is. I hope you feel better soon! Pumpkin Spice...YUM!!! Is it like eggnog?

Dream...I still need to look for that amaretto yogurt. I might just have to buy one of the Davinci sugar free amaretto syrups and make my own! LOL! Menu looks great you are doing fantastic!!

Okay...off to study! I'll check back on my study breaks!

~melissa

Diva 11-14-2007 01:12 PM

Mel, thank you gf. I am trying. I get what you are saying, moreso after I googling ketosis! LOL! :D I want to keep the carbs low, but like you said when I DO have them, I want them to be good ones, from fruits and yes even my cereal. I am gonna alternate breakfast days..one day do the egg thing and then the next the Special-k thing. I figure if I can keep them below 70 or at the highest 100, I'll be doing good because that's what I did the 4 LB loss week. We shall see. It's like a game trying to see what works and I am learning fast what doesn't, lol! I DO feel less frustrated though since I started doing it this way. The calorie counting (which I still do, it's like an addiction) and the WW didn't work for me. I LOVE fitday. I've had to add most everything I eat in myself though, sometimes fitday is inaccurate(sp).

At least I've got the scale thing down to once a week, hehe! Ok, gotta go force myself to eat lunch now, lol!

Hun.e.B 11-14-2007 01:24 PM

Well girl if its working then run with it!! LOL! I think you are doing just great so keep it up! You know what you can live with and that is key to success!

~melissa

Shay 11-14-2007 08:06 PM

Hey everyone,
I had to totally rework my menu for today bc one of my co-workers came in with a pumpkin pie she wanted us to try out. She needs to make them for the holidays so she wanted us to test it out. It was fantastic and she said she used low fat items so I felt better. Besides I've learned if I deny myself something I really, really want I pay for it later. Meaning I would eat everything in this apt to replace what I really wanted and you know what happens with that...if its not what I originally wanted nothing in my apt will meet that need so I would just eat and eat.

Okay I'm proud of myself. I reworked the menu and still was able to not use a ton of flex points bc I need them for Thursday and Friday. Oh yeah, at the pizza place here's hoping there are other options like salad. I'm picky with salad so we shall see and I don't have to have the pizza or I can have one slice of cheese or veggie with a salad.

Today's Menu
BF--blueberry waffles, veggie sausage, coffee with sf flavored creamer
S--slice of pumpkin pie
L--Frozen Meal
D--soup with baked chips

Melissa--Couscous tastes just like rice to me. It just looks different.

WW--26+2 flex points=28 pts

So I managed to stay on plan and I'm done eating for tonight so I won't post this menu again in the morning. I still have tons of water to drink bf the night is up.

WW--26+2 flex points=28 pts

Well I did make it through the night w/o eating anything else. So my reworked menu stands. Another day on plan. So it will a busy day today. I'm taking my car in for an oil change at 8am. Although I'm not driving to Richmond for the conference, we're using a county car, this was the only day I could squeeze it in. I hope to come back and do Week 2, Day 2 of C25k, take a shower, and head to the office for an hour before heading to Richmond. We will see how that works out. I'm packing this morning. I know, I know I should have packed last night but I fell asleep. I'm only going for one night so that helps. I was back and forth about taking my laptop. I figured I could get internet access at the hotel but it would either cost an arm and a leg that I wouldn't want the county to be charged for since they're paying for my room or they would have one measley computer in a small room. I will be staying at a Holiday Day Inn Express and they said on their website that there is free high speed internet access from your room. I'm excited about that. I'm always on the internet. Here's my menu for today at least what I know of it:

Today's Menu
BF--ww cinnamon raisin em with pumpkin butter, raspberries, coffee with sf flavored creamer
S--pudding
L--frozen meal with yogurt
S--100 calorie chocolate
S--100 calorie pack
D--Restaurant meal (15 pts)

WW--26+7 flex pts=33 pts

Okay I will check in this evening. Everyone have a fantastic day!

Thanks so much, Melissa. I'm slowly getting better.
Pumpkin spice doesn't taste like eggnog at all, at least since the last time I tried eggnog. Pumpkin spice smells so good and the taste isn't overwhelming. I love it warmed up.

Anyway, here is what I has on Wednesday.

Breakfast: Kashi and soymilk
Lunch: Tomato and mozzarella sandwich on rye
Dinner: Pasta with low fat cheese
Snack: oatmeal cookie

I did pretty well.

I hope everyone else is on plan as well!

LeedaRenee 11-15-2007 09:08 AM

Bad day yesterday:

B: raisin bran, w 2 percent milk
S: banana, chashews
L: mcdonald's doublecheese burger (sigh) and small fries.
D:2 pieces of pizza, a turtle sundae

The bad part is that I went looking for this food. I was so stressed/sad and I just needed something. I am so angry at myself for letting that happen. Then I I was going to run and the whole day had gone away before I knew it and it was 5pm and already getting dark. By the time I got to the park, it was a little too dark, but there were a lot of people there and it was well lit, so I tried anyway. Well, my ipod was not working , so I just walked a mile and came home.

So I guess I'm the first one out of the 10 day challenge. I'll write more later, gotta go do groceries.

Hun.e.B 11-15-2007 09:59 AM

You arent out Leeda, just means you can only get 9 days on plan. Thats not to say the rest of us wont be missing a day too! Dont give up on yourself just yet!
Honestly, yes bad food choices but what did the calories come out to? One day isnt the end of it all! I hope things are better today so the stress monster isnt getting you!


~melissa

Diva 11-15-2007 11:56 AM

I hate when the stress monster strikes! I've been fighting the urge for Monkey bread or PB cookies ALL week! I did break down and weighed myself just now and so far am down 1 more pound! :carrot:That's incentive right there to NOT indulge in them bad carbs! hehe

I hope ya feel better Leeda, you seem to be having a hard time here lately. Feel free to PM anytime you want or add me to your messengers and buzz me. I'd be happy to listen and try and help. :hug:

LeedaRenee 11-15-2007 02:03 PM

Sorry for the pity party earlier. I'm usually an upbeat person, just personally stresses that I've never had to deal with before (ie child/husband related) have been getting to me. I can deal, it will just take time. In the meantime. I need to support my team members better!

Diva, congrats on being down another pound! You are moving along! I'm glad you've found a way of eating that works for you :)

Melissa, I'll be cheering for you to see the 220s next week!! I don't know what I would do without your level headed, encouraging posts. Thank you :D

Tera, glad you're feeling better!

Shay, that does sound like a busy day! That is really neat about the high speed internet. I haven't stayed in a hotel room in a such a long time, I didni't know they had stuff like that. Good luck with day 2 of C25k!

I am off to the park with the kiddo and then to the track. It's a pretty nice day, very windy, but nice and sunny. I'm going to make the best of it. I've already had a good eating day so far. I'm totally off schedule for my running plan, but luckily I have a little cushioning in it already. Today I will TRY to run 2.5 miles and then come home and do yoga once baby falls asleep.

Hey everyone,
I'm here on my bed in my hotel room. I am so happy that I got myself this birthday present (laptop). My mom has always told me to give myself a big present each year. I don't do it every year. A few years ago my b-day gift to myself was my treadmill. Anyways the hotel room is very nice. Microwave, fridge, coffee maker, free hi speed internet access in your room, continential breakfast and at about dinner time they make homemade cookies.

Today's Menu
BF--ww cinnamon raisin em with pumpkin butter, raspberries, coffee with sf flavored creamer
S--pudding
L--frozen meal with yogurt
S--100 calorie chocolate
S--100 calorie pack
D--Restaurant meal (19.5pts)

WW--26+10.5 flex pts=36.5 pts

We went to O'Charley's for dinner. It's on Dottie's Weightloss Zone which has the points for 567 restaurants. What makes the points so high is that the grilled chicken is huge so I doubled the points. Regardless I did well. Still on plan. For tomorrow--I brought my own breakfast food. Tomorrow for lunch will be a boxed lunch so I'm really not worried about that. For dinner tomorrow night me and my 2 coworkers are going to Cracker Barrel. We really have to travel a bit to get to one in Northern Virginia but there is one across the street from the hotel. Thankfully that's on Dottie's list too so I can get what I want for 9pts.

I was able to get my run in and it went well. After today I decided I am definitely able to move on to Week 3 next week. Saturday will be my final run for this week. I am really enjoying the program.

Tomorrow's Menu
BF--blueberry bagel, yogurt, coffee with flavored creamer
S--100 calorie pack
L--boxed lunch (10 pts)
S--rice krispie treat
S--banana
D--chicken n dumplings, country green beans (9pts)
