total calories for 7/11 - 1460
workout - turbo jam cardio party, low intensity cardio workout by the biggest loser (was a bonus dvd with my scale)
so my scale arrived today after only 2 days! of course i immediately weighed myself on it once i got past the error screen ('ahem, i do NOT weigh over 350lbs you stupid plastic pos' was my initial reaction) and the readout was 139.2! which means i lost about 2 lbs in the last week. this low cal/exercise thing might actually be paying off. i plan on weighing myself once more tomorrow morning as soon as i wake up, then again on sunday, and then only once a week after that...at least that's my plan
tomorrow i'm going to the mall with my best friend. and i already planned out exactly what im going to eat off the menu at buffalo wild wings so i dont end up eating over 1000 calories in one meal. (naked chicken tenders with parmesan garlic sauce ON THE SIDE mmm. and only 40 calories per tender...much better than 200 for one chicken wing!)
Tinky, the steak was divine. I had four ounces, after cooking and it is surprising how filling it was. And how happy, happy it made me.
Did well, stayed nicely on plan, today. I got more calories than yesterday, too. A better amount for me. Total was: 1226. Got all my water and took my vitamins. I didn't exercise, today. I was lazy, my foot was bothering me again and I just shined it on. Baaad. I should be getting at least five days a week and managed only three, this week.
My average for the week is around 1500 calories, so I'm pretty happy with that. I'm not sure if I'm back down to where I should be, but my clothes are starting to fit better. Yay!
We are going to the coast this weekend to visit some friends and get away from the valley heat. It was 112 degrees yesterday. Yikes! I hope to stay as close to on plan as possible, we shall see...
Still- Have a great Vacation!
Ashley- Congrats on the loss! I weigh myself everyday normally. That's why it's killing me that my scale is in storage! The normal fluctuations don't stress me out, so I don't feel like a slave to the scale, but weighing daily helps keep me in check and remind me of my goals. Weighing once a week seems to work best for most people. I think I'm just a bit nutty that way.
I had a good day, yesterday. On plan, on track and happy to be there. Had me a little party with myself for getting through another day without going nuts and having a feeding frenzy.
Calories were 1213. Didn't drink quite enough water, just wasn't in the mood for it. Every time I picked it up to drink it, I just kind of shuddered a little and couldn't. So, I didn't force the issue. I'll drink plenty, today.
I hope everyone is having a nice and successful weekend.
hi everyone! hope you're all having a good weekend!
yesterday's calories - 1441
water drank - 60 oz
sodium consumed - 3124 (ouch)
exercise - turbo jam - burn (20 mins)
yesterday was kind of an off day, but not too bad overall. i still drank a lot of water and got some form of exercise in, but i didn't have time to do cardio party (was up at 8 in the morning and gone until 9:30 at night). i think all the standing, walking, and lifting i did at work may have made up for some of that though =) I don't think BWW's naked tenders i had yesterday were as healthy as i thought, but i'm not gonna let it get to me. everyone messes up once in a while.
well, i just finished eating my bowl of cereal so it's turbo jam time! have a great day everyone!
Sounds like everyone is doing pretty good. Busy here but a good kind of busy. My average calories, fit day tells me for the last month has been 1252 fat 22% carbs 55% protein 23% and I make sure I get all the required amounts of the four basic food groups each day. Not so shabby. The weight loss is slow but it is coming off and not coming back on. I guess the turtle way of losing weight is the way for me.
Happy Monday, everyone! I hope that you all had a lovely weekend.
Yesterday went well, for me. I was nicely on plan. Had a few hungry moments I needed to work through. I wasn't really physically hungry, just wanting to be stupid.
Calories yesterday were 1012.
I really need to get some exercise, today. I had a few days off and I am refreshed and ready to go, again.
Location: Seattle, but an Original CA girl! I miss the sunny days!

Hey everyone! I had a nice weekend, but I was looking forward to coming back, well sort of. LOL I tend to stay better focused while I am at work than at home. LOL! Though I will say I had a hard time convinincing myself to get up this morning.
I have a question, ok, I think most of you ladies know that I am getting married on 08/08/08, I am getting married in the courthouse (but plan on having a reception down in CA for our one year). I am looking potential dresses, I figured since I live with my fiance I would wear off white or even a blush pink, or pink for that matter. Do you guys think that would be alright?
the past few days haven't been so good, probably around 1800 yesterday and definitely more saturday. saturday night i went to this fancy restaurant for a friend's birthday and the meal was $40+ so i decided i might as well enjoy it! today i'm back on track
hi everyone! today went well food-wise. i didn't do any exercise today though because i had done 6 days straight and thought my knees could probably use a break (plus i've read in lots of places that the body needs a day of rest to recover?) but i'll be right back to doing the cardio party turbo jam tomorrow!
had honey nut cheerios with 2% milk for breakfast, a sandwich with 1 slice ham, 1 slice cheese, and 1/2 tablespoon miracle whip for lunch and then again for dinner, luna bar for a snack at work, a small banana with dinner, and a salad with lettuce, carrots, a Tbsp of feta cheese, a Tbsp of miracle whip, and a teaspoon of ceasar dressing. i used to hate salad but now i think i'm hooked!! total calories so far: 1139. i plan on having some SF jello before bed and maybe another little snack to put me a little over 1200 so my body doesn't freak out like it did yesterday.

Yes, the body does need a day of rest. We don't build muscle as we work out. We build muscle during the recovery time. Joints need a rest too. The body was created to be in motion it was not created to be beaten up everyday. Even God had a day of rest.

You can wear anything you want. The white dress came about because the rich could afford to have a white dress, imagine the poor owning a white dress. The fancy dress came about because the rich could afford to have a dress they would only wear once lol. Everyone else wore their Sunday best. You wear something you like and looks nice on you. That is all that matters.
Congratulations on your upcoming marriage, Tinky! I say, since it is your special day, wear whatever colour you want to wear. Pink or a blush pink would be lovely. I get the idea, from the colour you choose for your posts that you love lavender. Why not wear lavender?
So, yesterday went pretty well. I am getting a little annoyed with myself, tho. I am allowing myself to feel reckless and careless with my 1200 calorie limit. I won't feel all that hungry, but I think to myself that hey, I have plenty of calories sitting around, why not go ahead and eat them? I need to nip that in the bud. Allowing myself slack is a bad thing, for me because it quickly results in my spiraling completely out of control. Time to get back to telling myself I have to stay at 1000. That way, I don't get careless and cocky.
Calories yesterday were: 1264. Yep, I am creeping up and over, too often. Time to reign myself back in a bit.
Tho I haven't stepped on a scale since about the fifth? Sixth? Of the month, I am losing. I can feel it, see it and my clothes are a little looser. I am seeing indenting where fat is disappearing. My body feels soft and "squishy" and smaller. I know... It sounds weird, but I think you know what I mean? Anyway, I am liking it. And I want more.
Tinky ~ That is fantastic news about the weight loss, 158 whohoo. Lucky me I start TOM again, seems like it just ended, may have to go to the doc about this because it is getting crazy. Work has been hectic so this is the first time I have been able to get one here. Still trying to figure out the mental part of sticking to the weight loss part. I did worse than ever last week but I am trying some new things and hopefully that will work.
Tammy ~ I just wanted say hugs and remember to take care of yourself. I know its hard to eat when your not hungry but you have to eat something to keep your strength up.
Rain ~ I am lucky, our mini's and pony are suckers. They see treats or any kind of yummy and they come running. The new mini didn't at first but he does now. He has to keep his distance still because he is low man.
Ashley ~ Yes, we all do deserve a little slack here and there when it comes to food and you made the best choices possible.
Our bodies definitely do need time to rest and if you don't give them a chance they will let you know. I have been pushing myself very hard lately and my heels have been really killing me. I took yesterday off and just rested and they started feeling better. I think I need to do it more often until my feet feel completely better. I also reduced the amount of time I am wearing flip flops. They are fun and cute but not if they are going to make my feet hurt.
Tinky ~ I agree with everyone, wear what you want. It is your special day and I don't think the rules apply like they used to. You don't have to wear black to funerals all the time and if you want to where white you can. Its all about your personal preferences.
GS got to ride his miniature horse Pibbs for the first time. Its a long story that is cute but he had a good time and he was able to ride a couple of times. He gets a little nervous when he walks to fast which is good, at least he won't be a dare devil for now.
Still trying to sort the weekend eating issues out. Have Sundays down and most of Friday and Saturdays but need to get all the meals down. Read and inspirational post that stated your strength has to come from within. I need to start searching because I think someone hid mine. LOL!
Well I better get going, this week is evaluation time. WHOHOO! Lucky me, and the boss is having a bad week. He said there is only one thing he wants me to work on and that is getting my family to stop bothering me so much. HAHAHAHA! That is also why I haven't been posting as much because I am worried that will end up being on my evaluation also.
