I don't know if y'all have an Aldi around you but they carry the Fit & Active foods. I got a pepperoni pizza stromboli for a little over a dollar yesterday and it has 270 calories. They have frozen foods, lunch meat, crackers, snacks, drinks etc and its cheap for diet food.

Theresa, where do you live? That weather sounds heavenly. It's been over 100 here for about 2 weeks now. Its so HOT....
Dawn, I love your new profile pic, it's very pretty.

I checked my bp yesterday (I have high blood pressure since giving birth to my kiddo.) and it was fine, but there's this new button on the screen for "weight". So I pressed it and it weighed me as I sat there. 215.4. That stupid .4. Anyway, this morning 215 even. I promised I wouldn't weigh in during TOM but I can't help it.
Last night we went out to dinner and I had a salad with no bacon or cheese and ff ranch on the side, a 6oz sirloin and grilled veggies. it was soooo goood, and I was SO HUNGRY by 9pm! So i had a rice cake and a cup of tea.

Is it Friday yet?

I live in the suburbs of Chicago. It was almost 100 (over with the heat index) last week. Next few days we should be in the 80s. Today the high is 65! Welcome to July 1st!

I am so glad I went to the gym! I sooooooooooooo did not want to go. I was trying to find a reason not to go. But I went and I hated it the whole time. But now it is over and I don't have to think about it anymore. Yay!

DCH-What did you use? My husband just ordered this http://www.walmart.com/catalog/detai...72036854775808

I can't wait to get it, it should be here next week. I don't understand how it works though? lol

Thanks for the compliment on the pics... My face looks thin when my hair is straight lol

Dawn, I just used the machine at the grocery store, but it's all new fangled now! Fancy!
theresa, my dad's side of the family is all from Joliet, and my sister lives in Plainfield right now! Small world..........

Haha! I worked in joliet while I was in high school. I grew up in Plainfield (my parents still live there) and my hubby and I's first house was in Crest Hill which is next to Joliet. It practically is Joliet. It doesn't have it's own zip code or school system. About 2 miles from the joliet mall!

Mind if I join you girls?

I just need somewhere to post daily to help me keep on track and accountible for what I eat.

Dawn, I also do daycare (and I have 3 kids). What a job, eh? Haha!

To jump right in...

Breakfast was 3/4 of a cafe mocha (I need to figure out how many calories this is, homemade)


Lunch was a quarter pounder, fries, and lemonade from McD's (510+380+200=1090!!)

Come on in, Melode...
Theresa, what if you know my sister!!!!!!!!!!!

Dawn Short

Doesn't sound familiar. I graduated in 1998 from Plainfield High School. Back when there was only one high school. Now there are 4. I went to what is now Plainfield Central. My two sisters graduated in 1996.

Good morning! I'm not feeling well this morning Yuck!

I went to the gym last night around 5:30pm and jumped on the scale, it said 202 :O I will be HAPPY if I get below 200 for my vacation on the 18th!
Still trying not to change my ticker until my actual weigh in day....tomorrow

Sorry you aren't feeling good! Hopefully it passes soon! I am sure you will enter "Onederland" before your vacation! yay!!!!

I don't have much planned today. Probably some grocery shopping. I am trying to get up my energy to take the kids to the store. I think my neice will be coming for a sleepover in a little while. So that should be a good time.

Feel better, Dawn!

My scale hasn't budged either, it's still at 215 darnit. I'm going to keep blaming TOM until its over
Any 4th of July plans?

Good Morning!!!! How is everyone doing? I am great! I already had my workout today and today is weigh in day....

















Boo-ya!!!! I lost 2 pounds this week! Yay!


The big challenge will be being good over the holiday weekend.

YAY TERESA! GOOD JOB!!! What is your daily calorie intake?

I'm down to 202!!! I'm so proud of myself. I do have a HUGE complaint though, my husband kicked my *** on Wednesday. He showed me how to do weight training on Wed. and I am in so much pain today, my stomach hurts so bad from doing the crunch machine, I don't know the name of it but OMG!!!!

I'm going to chill today, probably take the kids to the park and walk but no weight training until Monday lol
