Calories for today~ 1466
Fiber~ 39 grams

My count is probably a little higher due to a lunch out. I tried to choose as best I could, but estimating measurements was a problem. I did the best I could though and it wasn't too bad. Good thing I'd planned a low-cal dinner.

Tinky~ Look at the sandwich as a few too many good calories. If you don't go over (or not too much) does it really matter (as long as it's occasionally)? I think we should be able to enjoy life and lose weight!

Speaking of driving on a CA DL in another state, what are the rules? How long can you wait before you have to get a new one? Since we are more than likely moving out of state I'm curious.

Petra~ What's a princess interview? Did I miss a post?

Huh! Thanks for the info!

Hey everyone- The princess interview went good I guess,lol. According to her, she's 7. I told her to remember that we are just doing it for fun and even if she don't win she is still my princess!! Calories were good!!! I did take a few drinks of dh's pop(soda) but I didn't drink the whole thing. And it's amazing that now I really don't love the taste like I use to. As of this morning I am down to 138.6!!!!!! YAH!!!!! I have broke through that plateau I had for 2 weeks!!! I think that I will make my original goal no problem. But I am thinking of changing it to 125, not for sure just yet but I am heavily leaning towards it. I don't know if part of the weight loss was the amount of hair I got cut off yesterday? Could be it looked like a whole head of hair on the floor when she was done (I have really thick hair). It was just past my shoulders now it's chin length. I think that I like it, but will have to wait and see when I finally get the chance to do it.

Zenor77 The princess interview was for a local festival. Just something for the little girls to get dressed up like the queens. I found out yesterday that the father's have to walk the girls on stage, when I told DH that he was like I have to???? I said yup!! Which I think will be cute. They do the results and all that stuff next Friday night. So I will let everyone know on Saturday morning probably. I remember when I was in the running for Homecoming queen and my mom walked me down, she said something to me that I will never forget "I am proud of you, you are the first one to do this!!" Meaning that none of my older sisters (who did just about everything in school) ever were in the running for Homecoming queen or anything along the lines.

Well off to do some laundry and that before we head to the cell store to switch coverage!! I always feel like I am going to get screwed when I go with a new provider. UGH!!

Morning everyone!
Hi Diva, nice to see you.

How about a weekly wrap up? I have averaged 1756 cals per day and lost .3 of a pound.

Hi Susan,
Nice to see ya again.
Yeah! on your weight loss.


Your idea of checking your calories for the week is good. It reminds me that I did not do as bad as I thought for the week.

My ave. calories for the week is 1538.
fat: 25%
carbs:48
Protein: 27%
fiber ave. for the week is 41.
sodium: 2884 mg
average water intake is 12 glasses per day...96 oz.
Weight has bounced between 162-163 lbs.

I'm a big fan of perspective. Although some days I feel like I eat waaay too much, it evens out over time. If I focus on the doughnuts or beer or sausage on a bun, I think UGH! So I need to step back and look at the bigger picture.

I highly recommend that

Hello to you, Susan!

My gym closed down yesterday. I am irritated!!!

Anyway, yesterday's calories were 1314 with 14% coming from fat.

This site is slow in posting replies today. Anyone else having problems?

Didn't mean to ignore you, Little Red. It's early...

;-)

I'm so tired from my trip! So much walking around, but then again, alot of eating too. I haven't weighed to day out of fear that I gained weight, which I know I did, but my main concern is : how much?

My favorite meal on our trip was at a tea lounge. It was gorgeous, and just wonderful.

Okay, I read the first few pages, so here are my 'replies'.

Clairinator ~ August 6th is when I start off to college! Oh, and

To all the other newbies! ~ There's quite a few of you!

I'll write more later, but I've got to unpack! TTYL! Bye!

Here are my weekly averages~

Calories~1457
31% fat
53% carb (I added my 2% of alcohol in there~why do they separate it?)
16% protein
Fiber~36g
Sodium~1563mg

Charlene~ Welcome back from your trip! I'm glad you had fun!

Diva~ I'm sorry to hear your gym closed! I'd be irritated too.

Littlered~ I stopped straightening my hair when I started growing it out this last time; too much effort. I do need to get it layered soon, because my waves get weighed down when it gets long. When you get it cut I would go mid-length first and then go shorter later if you want. That's what I did when my hair was down to my waist. It wasn't as much of a shock to do it in increments. I ended up with really short hair (I change it a lot!) Short hair is easy to deal with, but after while I got bored with it, so out it grows.

I think your fluctuations may be the salt. That week I went over board on Thai food (lots of salt) I was bloated for 5 days and then it all came back off. It was weird. That had never happened to me before.

Petra~ That sounds like fun! I still love dressing up! Lol. I hope your daughter does well and has fun. Hopefully your Dh doesn't get stage fright.

I'm down two more pounds (for the last 2 days the scale stayed.) Which means, bye bye 160's! Yay! It looks like I will make my birthday goal. I wasn't sure for awhile there.

Hi,
Just a quicki before work.

Zenor
Congrats
158 lb. Oh you are good!
Keep it up Girl.
Boy, I hope you are right about the sodium. I am going to try to be very careful this coming week.
Does anyone know the sodium requirements for a day?



Diva,
So glad to see you back. hang around and make me laugh like old times.


Susan,
thanks for making me look at the big picture. I need that sometimes.
