  • I did good yesterday, and got double my water goal in. Still low on fibre tho.

    Todays plan

    Breaky~ protein/fibre shake & 1 oz cheddar cheese

    Lunch~ tuna melt(without the bread) and 3oz broccoslaw w/mayo

    Supper~ Im not sure, probably fish and a veggie....I have to check out the freezer.

    Snacks~ 2 boiled eggs w/butter and/or protein/fibre shake (depending on how hungry I am)

    I knew once I applied myself, the weight would start coming off....and I was right. Im down 6lbs since Monday.
  • I noticed I'm not making the water goal. So does the WI goals still count?

    11/30 Lose 1 pound, drink required water (WI will read 152)
    12/15 Lose 1 pound, drink required water (WI will read 151)
    12/25 Weigh 149!!!
  • thought Id share this ....Ive been eating tuna melts for lunch, and they are delicious!!

    1 can tuna, 1 celery rib chopped, mayo enough to mix, flatten it all out on a pan (quite thin) then top with 1 oz cheddar cheese and broil for 6 min. I love it!!!
  • going through a stressfull time right now and all the Christmas plans just seem blah right now.

    Did my water intake, walked 3 miles

    breakfast: 3 carb yogurt
    lunch: 4 carb drink

    I was in an office away from anything or I would have actually eaten something better for me.

    blah blah blah

  • Yesterday ended up being not so good. I didn't exactly cheat because I didn't eat any illegal food, but I did eat about 15 more carbs than I should have. First time that's happened, and I'd like it to be the last! I did get all my water in though, so it wasn't totally bad.

    I didn't feel like eating breakfast today, got up and doing stuff and just didn't eat. I had broccoli\cauliflower cheese soup for lunch -= YUM! I'm not sure about dinner, I don't seem to be very on the ball today and haven't planned anything. I need to go to the grocery store, so maybe something yummy will jump in my cart and say "fix me for dinner". Asparagus is on sale at BiLo, so I may hope over and get some. I think I'd like to make some mini-quiche and throw them in the freezer so I don't get breakfast burnout, and bacon & asparagus quiche sounds good to me.

    I haven't gotten any exercise yet today and am way behind on my water - eeeek! time to get with the program, huh?
  • I like that quiche idea Stacey. I think I just might have to give that a try for lunches.

    Went for a walk today, outside! First time since my back gave me such trouble a while ago. I forgot how much I enjoy it in this weather!!
  • I finally figured out what I want under my tree - a pair of $120.00 New Balance shoes!! *gasp* I've never spent that much on a pair of shoes, but they're awesome, fit perfect, great support, and really, they're an investment in my health, right???

    Breakfast - woops, didn't eat it
    Lunch - broccoli/cauliflower cheese soup
    Snack - 3 slices of Summer Sausage & 1 oz. sharp cheese, dijon mustard
    Dinner - stuffed portobello mushroom & steamed asparagus
    Water... I'm workin on it, got 50 oz. in so far
    Exercise... walked about 1/2 mile, but then my heel started to hurt again, so I quit
  • Tenn: That sounds like a GREAT gift to yourself!!!

    I did okay eating wise today
    breakfast: 1/2 of a leftover steak
    lunch: 3 scrambled eggs with a bit of cheese
    supper: 1/2 cup of cottage cheese and I guess that'll be it because I'm just not hungry.

    Only walked 2 miles, just couldn't PUSH myself for the third. It's so cold outside and there were a million hunters driving by on the back roads that I like to walk so anyway that's my excuse for not doing three

    I stayed off of the computer and got a lot accomplished today. I'm SUCH a computer addict! I just can't make myself get off sometimes! Here's to another productive day tomorrow

    Supper~ tilapia w/gorganzola butter and skillet salad.

  • A few too many carbs yesterday....and when I was getting the munchies last night, I went up to bed! That was a big "pat on the back" moment for me. I need to get the bubble bath stuff dug out from the bowels of the cabinet. Thats something else I will do when Im fighting the sugar monsters. A nice hot bath with lots of smelly bubbles and a cup of hot tea Works every time. Its cold enough now that I can do that

    Excellent week, weight wise. Im down 10lbs my first week of full induction. I hope my 2nd week is 1/2 as good!

    Breaky~ protein/fibre shake

  • well, this is weird.

    my goals were:
    Quote:
    1. November 24th - to be OUT of the 200's.
    I will weigh on the 24th to see if I"m out of the 2's, but I honestly don't know if I reached that goal and I was SO SURE I would!

    Quote:
    2. To wear 16's to dh's Christmas party
    DH just told me that they're probably not having a Christmas party. I'm already wearing size 16's so I guess that goal is reached?

    Quote:
    3. to walk at least 2 miles 4 times a week
    I HAVE been walking at least 2 miles, usually 3 every day so at least I'm staying on track there LOL

    what a weird month it's been.
