Happy Thursday, ladies!
Phat: uh-oh...hope you're not getting the stomach flu. I had it a couple weeks ago. NOT fun :( Dogs: there's NO way you coudl have gained 1.5 lbs of FAT from one salad. I'm sure it's just sodium/water retention. I'm sure it will be off soon! Pochamma: congrats on the loss and making your goal!! Fit: here's hoping you did better on your test than you think! Manders: I agree with Pochamma on your baked goods...they sound really low cal?? Fruit: good job getting back on track with your cals! Jiggle: sounds like you're having a good week :) Dorian: you're almost there!! As for me: had another good day yesterday. 1540 cals and a 40 minute brisk walk with the dog (with hills). I think it will be too cold to walk outside today, so I will probably do my wii zumba and maybe some yoga tonight. I've done pretty well this week, so am hoping for good things on the scale tomorrow! |
THANK YOU EVERYBODY!!!
I feel better and I have already decided that if I did bad on the test, we still have homework assignments and one more test after that, and I am just going to have to bust my @$$ on those for the next few weeks...I WILL pass this class, or die trying...lol. I weighed in at 238.8 this morning, so 1.8 lbs away from my new Easter Goal, I am going to try my best to make it to 237 by April 24th Manders01 Thank you!!! I always read your posts about baking, do you own a baking company or a restauraunt? How can you stay trim with all those sweets around? You deserve a :cp: because I couldn't even do it! pochamma10 :bravo: Congratulations on making your Easter Goal...we have a week and half left too, so there's more weight to be lost! Northern Exposure: Thank you...I am hoping I get good news the Monday after next and I hope you have a :goodscale tomorrow too!!! |

At Subway, at least at MY Subway they use Frank's, and I had NO clue it had so much sodium. I feel a lot better knowing that, because I was like "wtf?". At least I know what it is, and while I loooooooooove Frank's I will make a point of being cautious (in regards to weigh ins) about when I use it. I would suspect, by eyeballing (and I'm fairly good at eyeballing when it comes to teaspoons and tablespoons) that there was probably 4 tablespoons of Franks on my salad...so yeah, that's a fair bit of sodium! I went looking for calorie info for Frank's, but it didn't occur to me to check sodium (while it usually does). Thanks SO much! |
Manders01 Everything that you made/ate sound absolutely delicious! I craving sweets hard right now, I'm lucky I don't carry any cash because I would have already stuffed a dollar into our work vending machine for a Snickers bar!
Erica Welcome!! P H A T I hope you're feeling better! pochamma10 NICE WORK! Everything from here until Easter is just icing on the cake! :hb: Fit4Lyfe If you can do so well at losing weight (which is HARD!), you can DEFINITELY handle this math class! I have every faith in you! OhMyDogs I LOVE Frank's Hot Sauce so, so much. So much! I had NO idea that there was so much sodium -- or even calories!! I was thinking it was like Texas Pete and there really weren't any. Glad I know!! And that the mystery gain was explained! :) NorthernExposure I've been wanting to check out the Wii Zumba! It sounds like you're doing GREAT! Can't wait to see what your weigh in is tomorrow! --- I got another whooosh and here I am at.... 130.6lbs!! Wahoo! 130.0 is my true Easter goal, so I'm pretty confident about it! I tend to not eat so well on the weekends since I spend them with the boy, who eats whatever he wants, but I don't usually gain -- just maintain. My lunch today was so awesome, I packed a 3-sectioned plate with so many yummy things from home! 1/4 cup of mock/vegan chicken salad from whole foods (I added some sliced red grapes) (200cal), some grape tomatoes (20cal), some baby carrots (35 cal), a little bit of salad with ginger dressing (30 cal), and a stick of pepperjack cheese (80cal)! I'm stuffed for 365 calories and had a bunch of different yummy foods. :) |
Well, I caved. Someone brought donuts into the office and I wasn't going to have any...(and I did SO good avoiding the homemade cinammon rolls the cafeteria ladies make for our weekly staff meetings yesterday)...but I did. We're in the middle of all the state testing this week...that, and trying to put together our master schedule just has me totally stressed out!
I looked up the calories and it's about 220. So if I don't have my skinny cow tonight, I should still come out under 1600 for the day (thankfully we're having a low cal fish dinner tonight!). I know one donut isn't a huge deal, but tomorrow is WI day for crying out loud!! Ok, thanks for letting me do my mini-rant here. I feel better now!! |
Ok, I think I'm over my pity party. My clothes feel looser so even if the scale shows nothing again tomorrow I will be able to live with it.
Phat- I hope you feel better soon. Fit- I know how you feel about math. I always dreaded those classes in college, but the funny thing is that I love teaching it now. Congrats Dorian and everyone else that is seeing those results. |

The oatmeal chocolate chip cookies are about 2-3 bites per cookie and there are two cookies per order. The snickerdoodles are about 3-4 bits per cookies and there are two cookies per order. The cupcakes are regular sized and the scotch bars are 16 from an 8x8 pan (so a little smaller than what I think of as a typical brownie, 9 from an 8x8 pan). Not huge amounts but definitely something to appease the sweet tooth. Good luck on your weigh in tomorrow! I'm sure that donut, especially since you are working it into your day, will have little consequence than some guilt and a satisfied sugar craving. ;) Quote:
I own a restaurant of sorts in that I serve food but there's no location, it's all delivery. But I deliver from 1 to 50 people so as long as someone is my delivery area, they don't have to get a group together to order. I refer to myself as a caterer most of the time cause it seems to be the most accurate. I have one very simple way of staying away from the sweets (and everything else on my menu), none of it is at my house! :D I work out of a commissary kitchen about 20 minutes away so unless I am there, it's totally out of site, out of mind! Which is a good thing, cause I'm not nearly as good when I'm there (cooking at least, when I'm filling orders it's in and out). LOL Quote:

Congrats on the woosh! :cb: Lunch sounds delish! |
I completely blew it yesterday, and not really by choice. So I had to go on a 7 hour test ride for work, and didn't have any options where we ate for breakfast and lunch, my choices were mc donalds and arby's, then it was Dart night, which was our last game and I had to eat bar food...FML! I had some beer, ate my foods tried to make the best choices I could make, so yesterday I weighted 141.8 which i was going back down and losing the water weight and this morning back up to 144.0!....I flipped off my scale and just got ready for my day. no way I gained 2.2 lbs in one day, I know it was from the overload of sodium and fat, but couldn't really do much about it. Today I had another test, and tomorrow also. So i'm trying to do the best I can when we have to stop to eat. I have softball practice tonight so maybe i'll be able to work some of it off, but i've had very little sleep these past couple of days so my body is craving anything to stay awake.
sorry to rant and leave but i have to get back to work. I'll be on later to replay to you ladies. |

A small triumph...
I had something happen today that I think I'm pretty proud of myself for.
The back story is very long and I will not bore you with it. But the jist is that in May of '09 I met a man through work that within moments, okay, more like a few weeks ;), I feel head over heels in love with and have been so ever since. It was my love for him that caused me to reevaluate myself and determine that I was not the best person I could be for him. Yes, he is the reason I started losing weight (and quit smoking too). Between then and now we have been intimate several times but a relationship has never developed because of his relationship with another girl (just dating). I truly believe that we will end up together one day. That is more than likely just me being completely stupid. But still, I believe. This morning I received a text from him and again, for sake of brevity, he said he may be moving back to VA in July. I cannot begin to express how hard this hit me in the gut. It's very rare when I have one of those "doesn't quite hit me moments" but this was one of them. We texted for a while and when we got done, reality sunk in. I had to make a delivery then I was on my way to Target to pick up frosting ingredients. The minute I got into the car, I thought about what I would by to eat. I wanted to eat and eat and eat in hopes that it would somehow make better the emotional blow I just received. I even looked at the refrigerated cookies while I was there. But I didn't buy a thing. Not the cookies, not ice cream, not a candy bar. Okay, one thing. :D I was a bit hungry and got a Skinny Cafe Misto for 90 calories to tide me over till lunch. Even going into Sam's, where I could have got oodles of food to cram my face, I didn't. Nor when I cut up the batch of scotch bars I defrosted this morning. The entire time I was thinking about the food, I knew that I wasn't hungry, I'd be emotionally eating, it wouldn't be worth and most of all, IT WOULD NOT MAKE ME FEEL BETTER. Instead of getting completely mired down in depression about something that isn't even a guarantee right now, I'm trying to look at the positive. So yay me for not binging at a weak, weak moment! :) |
I have already eaten 1,800 calories today...
manders01 I am so sorry, love is rough, plain and simple; I am going to tell you something my mommy (yep, I still call her mommy) tells me when something bad/sad happens to me, "Everything, I mean everything happens for a reason, you may not understand it now and you may be hurting, but one day, the reason will come up and you'll look back and be glad", IDK the whole situation but :hug:
jdonato It's okay, we all have those days (I'm having that kind of week) and you can get right back up and make this happen...I believe in you!!! Okay, so somebody please tell me why it's only 4:30ish and I've already eaten 1,800 calories and counting!!! WTF?!?!? Why can't I get it together this week? I've been screwing up since the baby shower last weekend and I am just sucking, I mean, really sucking. I'm not discouraged, I'm just mad at myself because I know I can do better than this. But I have just the kick in the butt I need for next week: I desperately need my eyebrows waxed and I will NOT do it unless I am OP Sunday through Saturday next week. The prospect of having hairy brows should give me a well-needed :kickbutt: |
So bought the Wii Zumba... its kinda hard and I'm sure I look rediculous but I think as long as I'm moving around for that 20 mins or so it still is good. Northern is the wii zumba what helped you lose all your weight so far.... and how often do you use it?
Manders- Love sux...lol. Hang in there if its meant to be it will be. Weigh in today showed yet more loss I was 175.0 :) 40 pounds total.. BUT I had general tao's chicken and fried rice tonight for dinner.... I was craving it. Oh well I deserved a cheat day. Then did two sets of 20 mins on Wii Zumba. Maybe I will do an ab workout before bed, but tomorrow.....I will run. Ok now back to catching up with american idol... |
Good morning, butterflies & happy Friday !! Woooo!!!
I'm so glad it's the weekend! I don't have to work overtime tomorrow so I'll have 2 full days of relaxation & me time & sleep time !! I can't wait! I might go to the movies with my love or we might just stay in & snuggle :) Not sure yet .. Anyway I hope everyone has had a wonderful week & stuck to their plan as much as possible.. I had some slip ups this week, but I'm doing alright I guess... [the week before my period I get snacky .. I want sweets! lol] Oh & I do feel better from the other day; thank you ladies for your concern :) NorthernExposure ;; you didn't cave too bad & at least you didn't go over your calorie allotment .. one donut cant hurt every once in a while, right? :) k15g15 ;; your clothes being more loose is a good sign! you might not reflect on the scale, but then again, you might have lost an inch or two :) jdonato ;; lol @ flipping off the scale.. how perfect.. Im gonna try that !! :hug: Im sure all extra weight is water & will be burned off in a day or so :) manders01 ;; Like you said, it might still be meant to be whether he moves or not .. not to jinx him or anything, but Love has it's way of happening in the weirdest way.. there's no pattern or time limit, it just happens.. so who knows what will happen in the future, even with him moving .. But on the other hand, i'm proud of you for not caving & giving in to the temptation of those sinfully delicious refrigerated cookes! I know if you would have binged, it would have helped you for a moment, but you would have ended up feeling even worse & guilty too.. Good for you. :hug: Fit4Lyfe ;; come on , girl! get it together.. you dont wanna have a unibrow right? LoL I know I dont :) at least you aren't in denial of messing up [like I was] try planning your meals & snacks, write it out & keep it close so you will always be reminded to stay on track :) TiredOfGettingBigger ;; If anything will get calories burned, its Zumba. I burned 800 calories doing it for 25 minutes.. Ugh.. lol Well ladies, have a wonderful rest-of-the-day & stay positive ! :) :belly: :belly: :belly: [/color] |
Really where did you find the calorie count for that?
