WooHoo; I am so happy to see you all here
I think we have a great group of ladies who are ready to work their butts off (literally
)
Last night was not too bad. For my appetizer I had some stuffed mushrooms so the only bad part was the cheese on top. For my main course I ate lobster tail with a baked potato and salad. It was not my first choice to eat, but on the back of the menu they listed their "lighter choices" and apparently my first choice had 22 grams of fat!!!!! Who knew that grilled salmon was so fatning? So I opted for the lobster which only had 2 grams instead.
Good to see you here Amanda, I know you were having difficulty finding us. That is an amazing loss you had last week. It must feel so amazing being so close to you first goal of 10% I have no doubt you will lose it, plus some additional weight at your next weigh it. Is your next goal another 10%? I think that is a really smart weight on doing it and it seems to be working out really well for you.
Cat: GOOD LUCK TODAY AT YOUR WEIGH IN!!!!!!!!!! You sound a lot like me. The scale and I have a special relationship and I tend to check in with it everyday; infact sometimes more than once LOL
I think I posted this before that my husband has threatened to hide it during the week and only put it back on Monday mornings. It is an ongoing joke in the house because it just sucks me in
Myholidayboyz: Great to see you here and sorry to hear that you were not feeling well this week. Don't feel guilty about eating something bad; it takes more than one set back to make a huge difference on the scale; just as long as it's not a consistant thing. There has been more than one occassion this week that I ate a halloween candy. I figured the small Aero bars to be 1 point each, but being all that chocolate and sugar I think it adds up to more points if you eat a bunch. Somebody told me once "that one little mistake you made tonight will not show up directly on your hips tomorrow" . Sometimes it's ok to enjoy. Good luck on Monday at the weigh in. Just remember to make the rest of the weekend count
Brianna; I like the postnatl yoga idea. Yoga is amazing for the body and is so beneficial. Sorry to hear about your son. Remeber to take it easy and of course your attention is focused on him, but at the same time don't forget about yourself; you need to be healthy and strong for him. I cannot relate directly to what you must be going through, but if you need to vent please feel free to PM or email me
if counting points is not in the picture for you right now and is causing more bad than good, then I agree just eat healthy and be aware of portion control. If you are anything like me, you have the basics of the point system in your head and can generally estimate how many you are eating and know what's good and what's bad. Maybe try and go for a walk daily as well to help clear your mind.
NavyWife- Can't wait to hear about your weigh in, I have a great feeling about it
It sounds like you had a great week in terms of eating well and daily exercise. Your goal is creeping up on you
Well I need to go and get my morning cup of tea to get me motivated. Everybody have a great weekend and I will post on Monday morning with our new weekly thread. Can't wait to hear some more fabulous results!!!!!!!
Apparently, it does work for some people. I say if you find a trick that helps you, then stick to it.
I have to think of a way to ensure I get active today even if it means doing crunches on the floor. This weekend I am going to buy a workout dvd. I do have some here but they are all vhs and I only have a dvd player
