The Great Featherweight One Week Challenge -- Oct 2-8
I actually lost a whole pound in September :carrot:
On with the day... |
Woo hoo Ilene! Onward and downward!
|
Congrats to you, Ilene! You're doing a fantastic job!!
I hope to join you this month. Last week I did great all week, and then had a little too much popcorn Sunday nite. I don't get what that was all about. I did stop, however. Big improvement for me. But still feel like I wrecked my perfect week. Weekends are scary for me. My goal this week is to stay in control during the weekend, too. :) |
My biggest problem is the weekend as well:o However, all going well and October might be all we need to get to our goals and that's only 4 (or 5?)weekends:D Good luck everyone.

Whoops. Forgot to add my personal Challenge for this week. Dust off the Callanetics tape and do that at least three times this week. I did it last week and told the kids not to make me laugh for two days afterwards because my stomach muscles were so sore:dizzy:

Shockingly, I had an awesome day today. Fact is, I'm still recovering from last week's indiscretions, yet for the time being, all is swell. Have a great week, everyone!
Today's stats: -45 min. of cardio -strength training session -no junk food elizabeth |
High C - Welcome to Featherweights!
Elizabeth - Congrats on the awesome day and for getting right back into it. Dena - Weekends scare a lot of us, but you're a trooper. My day has been all work and no play. I have a test tomorrow and another on Friday. It's just that time of the semester, and I'm really going to be cranking right through the 14th. Then, I'll take a few days off. I'm trying a new food thing on the weekends. I'm giving myself permission to go overboard on Sunday, since I usually do it anyway. Then I do a really strict Monday. We'll see how it works out. |
Hi ladies!
I’m new. My goals for this week are to eat whole foods 90% of the time and I have a half marathon on Sunday and I would like to beat my time from my last half. |
Ya know what I've been doing? I have been posting in some of the planning threads ... posting goals ... but not method. For instance last week ... how did I think I was going to walk twice a day if I worked six shifts? and had a home that needs renovations???
I'm taking a little more time to think this week through. I know I'm a day late but ... I worked yesterday and it felt kinda like an extension of a nurses weekend, nuthin' but work. Let me see ... I'm ashamed of all the times I've posted and recommended planning and preparation :) I have my steelcut oats in the crockpot. Later today I'll dish them out into my half cup containers. I work 3-11 Wed, Fri, Sat and Sun so I have each morning free to start my day right. I can walk or bike, eat a good breakfast and lunch and have time to pack a good bag for work. I could do some kind of a full body weight workout on Thursday since a shopping trip with a friend has fallen thru. Yes, that sounds pretty good. |
Well, yesterday went extremely well with my food intake and exercise. October is a better month. I, too, decided I have to plan, until I'm back in steady control. This morning I had a low fat bran muffin, and now I'm off to the gym.
Thanks for the encouragement, Jazzbird. Welcome, High C and Phish. Stay strong, everyone. We can do this together. Dena :) |
:wel3fc: High C and Phish :wave:
Yesterday was a good day all around... Today is heading to be the same... Breakfast: Protein shake and bran buds and oatmeal with soy milk No Snack, no time Lunch: chick peas and tuna... This is a new concoction I saw in an Oxygen mag... can of chick peas, can of tuna, olive oil, salt and lemon pepper :hun: I eat a half cup of this... Oxygen added tomatoes and onions... |
Thanks for the welcome Ilene, Den@ and Jazzbird.:)
Did the Callanetics yesterday and have sore legs today:p Ilene, I saw a similar receipe in a Weight Watchers cookbook, except using balsamic vinegar and no oil. I have this for lunch most days YUM:D SW 58.5/CW56.2:D /GW53 |
Hello??!!!..... (Welcome, Phish & HighC! :) )
I'll keep my report concise this evening, but don't be surprised if I submit an essay tomorrow. - 60 minutes of cardio - stuck to meal plan - didn't give in to my dark side when it asked for junk food There. elizabeth |
This afternoon I made another concoction I saw in a magazine... a cube of tofu and a can of pumpkin was the actual recipe, but since I like to experiment :D and I couldn't find pumpking filling with no sugar, and belive it or not at this time of year, no fresh pumpkin at this particular grocery store, I bought some sweet potatoes. I cooked the potatoes, added the tofu and a package of SF Jello vanilla pudding, I also added pumpkin spice... It's kinda nice, believe it or not :) ... So, anyways I had that as a snack this afternoon... For supper I had leftover tuna and chickpeas... Then I went and gave blood and had 3 oatmeal cookies at the end... I usually never have anything, I reallly wish we could just leave right away after giving :mad:... Then I got home and shared DD popcorn, not a lot but I shouldn't have had it, but all in all my day was pretty good only 1185 calories, way to little cals but I'm not eating anymore...

Ilene, your recipe sounds kind of like what I know as Pumpkin Fluff. You whip up a package of sf ff vanilla pudding and another of butterscotch, a can of pumpkin, 3 cups of skim milk, and pumpkin spices. It's really good and my diabetic mom loves it. I'll have to try it with tofu. I also liked your recipe with the chickpeas and tuna. I think I'll leave the tomatoes and onions in. I might even add some salsa. I think just about everything's better with salsa.
