I see why you and your daughter won. That's a great picture! Love the rainbow sprite too. |
Melissa, I love those costumes.
I love Halloween, but I'm glad it's over, I can get rid of all candy and start fresh with a new month. |
Melissa, that first pic is hilarious! It looks like you're really carting him off to jaul. Love it!
My trick or treaters were sporadic last night, but they came. About half the candy was gone when I got a really big gap and started to get worried that I'd be stuck with it. Then around 8:45, 3 little boys showed up. I gave the first 2 candy and the 3rd , for some reason, didn't have a costume or bag, so I just gave him the whole rest of the bag of candy, and then I turned the porch light off. It was such a relief to get it out of the house. I'd been nibbling here and there on tootsie rolls all day (only 3 thank goodness!) |
Melissa, I love the pictures! Your daughter's costume was funny! Very creative. :)
We don't get trick or treater's because we are on a dead end gravel road with only 5 houses. :( I miss it, and I REALLY miss going trick or treating but M is too old now...Sigh.... the good thing about is there's no candy in the house!;) Anywho, today is day1 of detox. :dizzy: Wish me luck! Mel is doing it too!!!! I don't feel so alone now, hehe |
I'm sooooo glad halloween is over. I bought my candy way to early and ate half the bag before yesterday. I don't why I ate it I felt miserable afterwards, but anyways. We took DD to the event center here in town. The local churches put together a big deal with all kinds of games and inflatable bouncers. So besides the bag and a half I bought we have another plastic bag full of candy. I'm gonna take a lot of it to work, so the guys can enjoy it. I'm with Tera, today starts a new month, so I'm back on track.
Goals for this month: 1. Track eating on fitday everyday. 2. Do at least some exercise each day. 3. Drink lots of water. 4. Remind myself ea day what my goal is 5. Try and curb stress eating. |
Thanks girls!! We love Halloween around here but I'm glad its over! The candy wont get to me so much once I detox. Diva...I gotta wait till tomorrow because i didnt get to the store last night so I have nothing for breakfast or snacks. I dont even have cream for my coffee!!! Tomorrow for SURE! I'll just be a day behind you!
We walked for 1.5 hours last night! Ugh, my lower back and my hips hurt so bad! Thats why I didnt get to the store I just had to sit! Should make up for the pizza we had for dinner though!!! Got myself all freaked out all night because I went to bed watching Ghost Hunters Live and Most Haunted Live so I kept thinking I was hearing things literally at 2am I could have sworn someone was running up and down our sidewalk and smashing our jackolanters. So...didnt sleep well! LOL! Silly! Okay I'm so late today! I better scoot! Okay girls 3 weeks to earn some Turkeys! I'm ready! Even though I'm not gonna be doing lowcarb today I'm gonna eat very good! My body needs it I feel like crap! So here's the menu: Breakfast - oatmeal, gingerbread latte(my farewell to sugar treat!) snack - 100 calorie snack pack lunch - vegetable beef soup snack - maybe popcorn dinner - sloppy joe and a BIG ol salad! snack - 1/2 c pumpkin icecream Have a wonderful day everyone!! Dream...I think that is a fantastic idea putting your monthly goals out there, I'm gonna think on that today and post mine tomorrow!! ~melissa |
Once you put the taco mix in the turkey you forget it's turkey.
Hun your costumes were great! I actually didn't give out candy this year which made me a bit sad, but I had to work and last year when I was losing weight I did really bad with it in the house and just didn't want to take that chance right now. When I planned my food yesterday I didn't put in any exercise and I went about 100 calories over my "To Lose 2 Pounds" goal, but then I forgot I actually did walk to Starbucks which is a mile each way so I ended up in the green for the day. I forgot I exercised! For some reason I find that funny. My weight was quite down again today but I think I'm dehydrated, so I'm not expecting that number to stick, but I am seeing 3's in my numbers now which makes me really really happy. Ok off to work. Only 3 more work days until my first show! |
Really no candy issues for me for several reasons. I don't have kids so that helps and I don't give out candy except to the preschool program at work. I buy the candy that day and give it all out. At home I live in a set of mid rise condos. So the kids aren't running up and down the halls and up & down in the elevators they give the candy out in one specific building in one of the party rooms. So that works for me so I'm not tempted.
For the past few weeks I've been watching some starter kits on e-bay for WW. Its time to replace what I have. I set a budget for any item I bid on and if it goes past that budget I delete it off my list. Needless to say the kits have been out of my set budget. I'm hoping this is the week. I missed one last night by 50 cents.

What's in the kits Like?

Hi everyone. I was going to try to do the full fledged induction(sp) thing, but decided to ease into this thing would work better for me. There's NO way I can get through a day @ only 20 carbs. Not right now anyways. At least not until I finish the book and get a better understanding of this and of the foods available to me. lol! :D So far today I've only had 39 so that's not so bad considering I usually consume about 200 to 400 a day. I am thinking for dinner it's gonna be Fish and salad. Hugs all. |
Muse--Several people have different kits. Generally they have the dining out companion, food companion, journal, calculator, lunch bag, and Meals 101. Some don't include the calculator. I'm concentrating on the ones that include the calculator.
I was having a fit because my wireless router wasn't working. I was making a big fuss I was still connected to the internet but I didn't have the freedom to move around for about 45 minutes. It drove me crazy. I find that extremely funny because it took me until this year to get a laptop, broadband, and go wireless. Now I'm addicted to the ability to move my computer around in my apt and still be connected. |
Hi all , congrats on the win. I've been lurking here a lot just not posting for some reason. I started fitday today and I was shocked at the nutritional value of the foods i have been eating. I couldn't believe at the carbs i have been eating. A real eye opener for sure. 57 grams of fat and 115 carbs. What? How could that be I thought I was eating healthy. Sheesh. 1068 calories but gosh how in the world am I going to cut down on fat and carbs.
Heres what i had today. Morning : Apple, Banana, 4tablespoons of Whipped topping, 1 tablespoon of jif to go peanut butter Dinner: tyson chicken fillet 1 tablespoon of Canola oil 1/4 cup of velvetta cheese 2cups of Lettuce, afternoon snack : nestle hot chocholate vitiman fish oil tablets Totals 1068 calories 57 grams of fat 115 carbohydrates and 37 protein |
LOL Just! That's what I said when I went to the store today. I was so sure I could do this Atkins thing, then I got to reading lables and whatnot and there was really nothing I could get or afford to get that didn't have carbs! I don't know how in the **** peeps can get by on only 20 a day. There's freaking carbs in EVERYTHING! We aren't rich enuff for me to buy a bunch of seperate foods than the rest of the family so I am going to have to modify this situation and just cut my intake at least by half or less, be smart, eat healthy and exercise, continue counting my calories and hope for the best.
My doc told me to only aim for 4 lbs a month, eat 2000 calories a day and aim for 300 carbs a day! I was like whatever dude, I can do that an maintian my fat figure. I am trying to LOSE here! So I am going for 1000 to 1500 calories a day and no more than 150 carbs. Hopefully I can get that down to no more than 100 and less and less as I go. Sorry Mel. I can't do the 20 carbs a day thing. :( I'd be living on meat, eggs, cheese, and salad...I need more than that. |
Hey ladies,
Not like I'm an expert or anything but 1000 calories a day is not enough. I think most would recommend 1200 calories as a minimum. At 1000 calories your body will think it is starving and store everything it gets as fat. It goes into survival mode. It will stall weight loss. |
Good morning,
