Of course I was starving and didnt have any alternative So I ate 2 1/2 peices. Oy. I'm going to do an hour of walking tonight to make me feel better about all of this.

  • Hi everyone!!

    I cannot believe how long it's been since I posted. We have been busy working on the house, son dislocated his thumb, and the joys of working shift work (the two late nights a week just kill me). I have been eating well but at the low end for the last few days. Need to up my protein intake for a few days, I am feeling a little sluggish. I will post my menu later and answer a few inquiries now.

    Quote:
    Jan, how did you figure 2.4 for the WATP 2 miles tape?? Would you please post when you see this.
    I add extra time. I am currently walking 36 minutes per workout. I found an AP calcualtor on the web that uses your weight and minutes. I then divide the time between light, medium and high intensities. I have this on my Excel spreadsheet.

    Quote:
    how do you calculate your points? Everything is so precise...I love that!! When I am good I am very,very good, so I am impressed with what and how you are working it. How do you come up with for example 1.6 for the banana?? or 2.3 for the skim milk.
    I have a Points calculator on my Excel spreadsheet. I just plunk in the numbers and it calculates. I use FitDay.com to find the calories/fat/fiber inforamtion.

  • I am regrouping after many days of NO EXERCISE and not much of an appetite, to much to do and not enough time. I need to walk for at least 30 minutes today, so I can feel re-energizied. I will put on my runners and head out the door. Healthy eating everyone.

  • Hey guys...well we were hit pretty bad by the hurricane..I live in Lake Charles, LA....so I am at my parents house in TN till we can get power back on. They are saying that could be 2-3 weeks. I have been eating out of control Thurs-Sun. and finally got back on track yesterday. It is so hard not being in your own setting where you have the foods that are right for you. Fortunately we did not have any damage to our home. Most people did in our neighborhood..we got quite fortunate. I went and bought new running shoes and will be working out at the rec center near my parents house and I found a WW meeting to go to on Thurs. I just hope I did not gain too badly...I was doing so good. Anyway...here's my menu for today...it took me 30 min to decide on lunch b/c I couldnt find anything other than chicken salad and fried chicken..but then found a good choice. Sounds like you guys are doing really well!! Keep it up!

  • I lost 1.6 pounds this week! Woohoo! I am down a total of 10 from my original start. I was so off plan this week too (I ate fast food everyday and pigged out.) I guess I got lucky. I am sticking to it this week to try to get to my 10% goal (only 7 more pounds!).
  • Ugh!

    I did so bad all last week and this week.

    I pigged out, and coincidentally Gsd - it all started with fast food.

    Well, today, I decided NO MORE! This is silly!
