Good morning ladies
Nice to see you all as always. I am pleased to report that yesterday went very well, I tried the mini meal/snacking approach throughout the day and evening and found that I ate much less than I normally do for dinner......it worked! I drank my water too and let's just say I released plenty of fluids. I did not have any starches as staying away from them for a while and/or limiting them is goal.
Going to the market and having all of my healthy snacks on hand ( h.b egg, s.f choc. jello, grapes, etc. ) and planning my meals is definitely what is doing it for me right now! Tis a new day, must keep it up! I had chicken as my main meal (in a tom. and cuke salad w/ a little egg). I did get hungry at night and even after my snack (s.f choc. fudgicle) so I had a can of string beans (the whole can) at only 70 cals! What are some of your favorite healthy treats ladies? I also love my wheat thins w/ f.f cream cheese but they are off limits to me for a little while.
Ms Perception, ty....I'm trying. I owe a big thanks to the gals here who helped inspire me to kick it in gear and exercise. lol @ snow shoveling and your new exercise routine
It's actually a great workout. My DH would snicker at that right now, poor guy is so tired of cleaning all the snow this season and with good reason! We got another 4 or 5 inches last night too but at least it is nice and sunny today. WTG on your workout yesterday
.
Jaya, good for you for going back to school for your GED! Bravo! Yes, keep on studying Jaya.......that is super
.
Hi Sass, hope you had fun running in the snow! brrrrrrrrrrrr, lol.
Leneee, hey there
Tis a new day with a clean slate! I think that just one good day will have you feeling better and give you that oomph and motivation again.....hang in there and bravo for keeping at it. It sure has been a long winter Lene. Luckily, the days are getting longer and in approx. a month (March 8) we change the clocks ahead and it wont be getting dark until nearly 7 pm! nice. THe weather will be getting milder and you will be able to get out for those runs that you enjoy!
Ohhhh, I can't wait to get out for my walks....I miss the outdoors much. Hope your having an awesome day.
Keeperoftheheart, my goodness! I saw the news about kentucky and what was going on over there. I am glad that you and your family are home and safe now, you must be exhausted. That's great that you did not gain during that ordeal and once again Welcome back home and welcome back here : ).
urockmom, hi there lady! How are things going on your end? Have you gone skiing again?
Hi Hattie, how are you doing? keep up the great work.
Madi, Lekhika, and to all of you.......hello and keep at it as well.
Well ladies I better be going, it is getting late. Ohhhh does anyone have comcast? COmcast on demand has the exercise t.v with so many various forms of exercise (for free) and you can run it anytime you want. I added some upper bod strength training with jackie warner and might mix in some various aerobics for more of a body motion range ......as much as I love my treadmill I need some diversity and also lateral moves. I hope everyone has a great day, let's all keep truckin' ladies .
. I'm back to the gym (day 3) and I've gained some water weight but I'm sure it will be gone in a couple days. Catch ya all later!
Oh wonderful electricity!!!!! 
I missed you ladies tooo pieces!!! 
and now I am ready to push myself to reach my goal...I have a week to undo the storm damage and I intend to do it 
waitin' on a whoosh.....
and 
for a great weekend!
, but still ate pretty good .... I think it is stress because I have not worked out this week 
weight day....I will be honest and I will work my tail off to reach that 20 pound goal but I think I will only make it to 15 pounds lost. I so far have lost 10 pounds total. If I have to sweat the other 5 I will hehehehe....
