Thanks for the tip of the day Diva!

Ummm veggie lasagna - yum. I'd like a recipe too please.

Good morning all. Just a quick flyby from me right now :wave:

I too like the idea of editing a single post on the exercise challenge. As you can see from this thread, we are a talkative bunch and it might keep the tread from getting really long. Easier to keep track of too as Purplefirefly pointed out.

Aha - you noticed that too with the points - one day my lunch was the whole can of soup and when I entered it I was like - WTH???? Like anything, I think you have to be choosey about your food. I was also kind of surprised when WW was pushing the 0 point V8 veggie drink. Yep, it's one way to get the vegetables in but salt city. And the low sodium version was kinda icky for my tastes. Maybe because it tasted like the metal can because it sat on the shelf because no one wanted to buy it.

Wow I am never going to keep up and I have been logging in twice a day. Anyways just thought I would drop in and say Good Morning Everyone!

Well my first WW meeting went good last night, I sat down when I got back and wrote down my menu for today and so far it will be good thru lunch as I will be taking my lunch to work with me. I am a little nervous because they don't seem to worry about sodium? They were talking about soups and stuff last night and I am thinking wow lots of sodium..... However I did not think of V8 for my vegetables because that could be a problem for me getting them all in daily.
Well better head off to work have a great day :)

Good mornin ladies :) I couldnt log in for some reason yesterday and when I got on today WOW I skimmed over the post and laughed my butt off about the DH & BF's YES ALL men think alike gotta luv 'em.
Had a very busy day yesterday but managed to stay OP ;) sometimes my days are 16+ hours long if I have photo shoots after my 9 to 5 :( but I will check in at least once a day, Im sure I will always be behind but I promise I will do my part to help our team win. Have a great day everyone!!!!

Good morning to you all. I am feeling a bit better today, although I didn't get to bed early like I wanted to. I am playing catch up on my work and it seems never ending. I gave in to a bowl of ice cream last night-why oh why does food make me feel so much better? I need to find something else to replace my sorrows other than food!

It is a COLD day today it might even snow -YUCK-so I am not sure how the walk/run will go tonight, but I am still planning on it. Gonna get in a yoga workout before I weigh in this morning.

Hey Dolphin you a photographer too? I used to do the 9-5 and then have photo shoots too plus the weekend photo shoots, I just recently gave up the 9-5 and still manage to work 16+ hour days. :)

Morning Black Team!!!

Who asked about the exercise challenge--Purple maybe? (too lazy to go back and look!) Anyhow, last time we kept the thread going and didn't edit posts....it was more fun to to have a "chat" going. One way to keep track of your balance is to put it in your siggy, and update it there. Hope this helps!

I really should do some work today....hope everyone is having a fabulous day!!!

Okay, I will put it in my siggy :)

Morning!
Its a warm WINDY day here! Last night I went for a bike ride and got in 10 miles! I am hoping to do it again today, if the wind doesnt blow me over! Have a great day!

i'm game for that

For veggie lasagna, I am always disappointed at the veggie lasagnas in the restaurants because of the low amounts of vegetables and the excess cheese. Sometimes I think that having a few flecks of spinach in the ricotta is what constitutes a vegetable lasagna at these places. :mad: So instead when I make it at home I just load up on the vegetables in the low-fat ricotta to give the lasagna some substance, and skimp on the fatty cheeses on top and througout the layers - I put some part-skim mozzarella & shredded parmesan, but definitely not as generously the do in the store or on TV. Vegetables I like to "beef" up the ricotta with include for sure mushrooms, carrots, onions, and green peppers, and then zucchini, spinach, and/or eggplant chunks, depending on what I have on hand. For the tomato sauce layers, I use the lower calorie pasta sauces found in the spaghetti sauce aisle.

I will try to post a more specific recipe regarding spices and preparation when I get a chance later this week.

Manicka (sp?) LOVE the eggplant info. Very thorough. :)

I LOVE roasted veggie sandwiches. My to-do list includes "find great whole wheat ciabatta recipe." Would be the perfect bread for roasted veggies.

You ladies better get your ever-shrinking fannies in gear!! I've got almost $100 in my bank balance!!

My x-husband has filed for an annulment through the Catholic church. Any experience with that?? He's also creating chaos with summer visitation and child support. Hummm . . . what would I do if he were standing on my street and I was driving my BIG TRUCK!!!!!???? lol.

I took my waist measurement today and although I haven't lost any real poundage since we ended the last challenge, I have dumped 2" from my middle!!

Taking measurements at this stage of the challenge is GREAT. If you hit a plateau or have a rough patch, it's an awesome way to measure how far you've come that has nothing to do with the number on the scale.

You better get your fannie shrinking even more I guess, because I have $115 just from yesterday, and $30 so far today :p Have to get to 7 miles for my webwalking goal, so looking right at another $115 at least for today :dance: gosh, this is so much fun! Its the inches that really matter, congrats.

Thanks for the details on the veggie lasagna, orthodiva. I can piece something together with that info...I'm just not sure about the noodles because we have not liked any of the WW noodles we've tried, so have been settling for Barilla Plus (not sure they are WW?) and I"m not sure they make lasagna noodles. have to find out.

I am so sick of snow. Our track season is well underway and I'm still having to battle with snow... gonna run outside and see if practice is a realistic idea for today...

Did you live in Korea? I did for a year when I taught English there :D

Good morning ladies...
I don't have a lot of time, but I wanted to drop in and say hi! I am taking the day off from working out today to celebrate my bday, but I will be hitting it extra hard tomorrow. My weigh-in is Friday and yesterday when I took a peak at the scale it looked like I have finally broken through my plateau (since Easter!). I don't want to risk that, so I will be eating as healthy as possible before I have a few bites of a brownie hot fudge sundae at CPK tonight!
Have a great day everyone! I'll drop back in tomorrow, but I am reading frequently so I don't get behind!!! This is a talkative bunch!

Talk to everyone later!

Happy Birthday Blueeyedlvrgirl. Hope it is delightful!!

Not much time right now. I hopped on the scale this morning and freaked out. Seems I gained like 5#'s overnight. I know it's water but it was not what I expected to see. I feel real bloated today so guess I better start drinking my lemon water to rid myself of it. Hopefully in a couple days it'll be gone.

Getting my living room measured tonight for new carpet and the foyer and stairs measured for ceramic tile. I can't wait. DBF's ex really liked piink and she put mauve carpet throughout the house. A little bit goes a long way believe me!!

Anyway, I'll check back in later. Will be doing the eliptical tonight and will log my $$ in the morning for today. Have a great day everyone.
