Aw, thanks losing4another! Cleaning is definitely a great way to burn calories! ;) 1540 calories today + hard run!

Good Afternoon!

Thanks Losingit4another is was so nice to not have to 'think' about what i was eating for a change. :)

I think i have a cold(or allergies) My nose is running,im sneezing like a maniac and ive got sinus pain. I went to bed at 9pm last night. I was soooooo tired and my head was killing me.

I made myself go to the park this morning and walk for 45mins. I was actually suprised to see that i burned 340cals..not bad. Thats all im doing today. Besides the regular house chores(blah)

My meals are planned for the day..1490 total.

Have a good day :)

ETA- EarthyWitch-I just bought some garlic lovers hummus and some WW pita bread. Ive had the bread before so i know its good but i tasted the hummus and i really liked it. I plan on having it for a snack later...thanks agian for the recommendation!:)

misspriss- Tell what do hummus taste like? I've seen and heard about them a lot but I'm to big of a chicken to try it without knowing what I'm getting into...Although I'm pretty sure dh would eat them since he eats just about anything....doesn't gain weight either. Did you mow the lawn yesterday? Maybe that is why your allergies are acting up. I always feel like I'm getting a cold the night after mowing the lawn.

Have a great day everyone! :D

my wife came home from the hospital yesterday, shes pretty sore...busy taking care of her and the rest of the family...i need to get back in the goove

Down one half pound! That makes 6.5 pounds to reach my Halloween goal of 222. :goodscale:spid::sklol: I will weigh in again on Sunday and I hope to see a loss.

I seem to be at a plateau. I think I will switch my calorie intake for the day around. Still keep the same calories for the week, but maybe go two days high, two days low, three days average. We shall see.

EarthyWitch- Hummus taste like garlic refried beans? So the plain would taste like regular refried beans? :lol:

David- Don't forget to take time for yourself while taking care of everyone else :hug:

Hydra- I have 6 pounds to go too! We can do this.... piece of cake :lol: Okay maybe I shouldn't have said CAKE ...that will not help :carrot:

Well...i was sick this week so I didn't make it to my workouts at all. The rest was so needed. I didn't eat on calorie plan but I did stay on nutritional plan so that made me happy. I think I must of needed the calories because even with my eating like that I'm pretty sure I'm down 2-3 lbs this week. I haven't counted the lose on my ticker.... I think i'll wait to make sure it really is a lose and not just my body breifly reacting to being sick.

Has anyone ever had that when you get sick, lose weight and then feel better and gain all of it back (and sometimes plus some)?

:carrot:

Woooohoooo!!! Getting closer to my Halloween Challenge Goal!

Mine didn't taste like refried beans but it was good. I cook a ww pita in the oven and made it crispy and dipped it in one serving of the hummus(40cals) so alltogether i was like 190cals...not bad.
When i workout i use a heart rate monitor(nike Imara) to calculate my calories burned.

Well, i had a slip up yesterday:( the past four weeks i think i was too strick or something because i had a binge last night. Ive decided that im not going to cycle my cals anymore and just eat my BMR everyday and allow one splurge meal once a week on sunday(my weigh in day)

I just have to pick myself up and keep going.:)

CONGATS to those who have loss...you guys keep me motivated!:hug:

Good Luck to those that have a weigh in coming up...

Have a great day, i plan on doing some kind of cardio soon.:)

Earthywitch- I will have to give them a try :lol: Thanks for the heads up on what to expect :D

babybluess- Yep I understand. I didn't eat that much though and I think my body thought I was trying to starve it. I just went back to normal in range calories and gained what I lost when I was sick.

Nest week is going to be hard for me to stay on track. My dh will be home on vacation for a week..... he likes to eat 24/7. I'm going to have to deal with junk food back in the house :eek:

>>>>>I'M BACK<<<<<<
Well~Even though I was detemined in my last post to do well with the emphysema diagnosis~I took a few days off from Everything To mope around~LOL!!!! I really tried to stay motivated but I moped & cried And cried & moped some more!
It's kinda funny when I look back at how silly I was reacting.
I AM GONNA GET THROUGH THIS.

I am back on a good exercise routine. I kinda skipped some of it for last 2 days~But I got it back together.
I kept with eating correctly...I actually was so depressed I had to make sure I ate enough.

But I am back to being me.

I'm just gonna say hello to everyone this post instead of individual things cause I am gonna spend as much time as I can with my kids this evening And its nearly time for them to get home from school.
They knew I was depressed too But wasn't sure why~I actually think they thought I was sick with the flu.
I am gonna take them shopping for a halloween mask for school.
(I never take them trick or treating for safety purposes~Me & my hubby Always buy them candy and make homemade pizza and Watch a nice pay per view movie On the night the other kids in our neighborhood go)
But They like to dress up at there school parties (Well the 2 boys do)
My daughter will proboly by some black eye shadow & black lipstick while there plentiful for her gothic look.LOL
EVERYONE TAKE CARE~I WILL POST BACK AGAIN TOMMORROW.
