Yeah, I don't like fruits but I LOVE veggies. I usually snack on green/red peppers, carrots, lettuce, squash, broccoli, cauliflower etc but no fruits I know that's so weird but what can I do? I mean, I REALLY don't like fruit.

Maybe I can just snack on some veggies in the morning?

Hello buds!!

Today is going well for me! I had coffee this morning, I really have to figure out what to have for a more substantial breakfast. Maybe some yogurt. I went to the gym. I did weights yesterday, so today I did the elliptical for 15 minutes (I do the interval pattern. On the easy interval I go fast and then more leisurely on the harder interval to keep my heart rate up the whole time. Then I did 30 minutes on the treadmill on a steep incline for the first 20. Then lower, but I acutally ran twice for 2 minutes each time. I hope to try to keep that up, hoping my knee does not complain too much. I had a big salad for lunch. I am still full.

Dinner will be hard for me tonight. My hubby is taking the kids to his mom's house so I can get some stuff done around the house. I have to fight the urge not to eat junk food in front of the TV. FOOD IS NOT A TREAT!!! IT IS FUEL!!! I wish that would stick in my brain.

I'm having a horrible week at work and it's only Tuesday. Let me just say, I'm depressed.
I'm sticking to the plan though. In fact, I got a nice surprise when I stepped on the scale this morning and it said 216! I haven't exercised in 4 nights because of my cold. I'll get back on the treadmill (horse) tonight....
I ate 2 milky way minis today. I just needed CHOCOLATE and they were up at the receptionists desk. I think she's trying to sabatoge me

Up and at 'em, kids!! I am feeling good today! I am having my coffee while the twins eat breakfast in their highchairs. We will be heading to the gym when they are done. I didn't do weights yesterday, so today I will and then do some cardio.

I did my 30mins on the treadmill last night, even though I'm not 100%. It felt good....good morning, y'all!!!

It's a good day so far, I've had one walk already and I'm about to do my workout. But tonight my mom is taking me out to dinner and I just don't know what to eat. We're going to O'Charleys. I looked at their menu online, and I think I might get the grilled shrimp with a side salad and broccoli (if they have it).

It was really an eye-opener to look at their nutritional information, and see the calorie and fat count of the things I used to order. Sheesh, no wonder I'm overweight! It's really no fun going out to dinner anymore. Some of those meals (and I'm sure it's the same with most restaurants) are the caloric equivalent of my entire day's calorie goal!

Good morning!
I just had my morning coffee and I really want another one but I'm trying to hold off lol I put a pot roast with mild peppers rings, garlic and onions in the crockpot for dinner. We'll eat it on a roll with mozzarella cheese melted on it. For one sandwich it will be a little over 400 calories... I used to be able to eat 2 or 3 of them :O I'll probably have broccoli with it instead of the usual, chips.

My husband and I are going to do the treadmill, bike and hes going to teach me some strength training tonight. Hopefully it goes ok

Pas-I do that too, especially with the Chili's menu. I LOVE LOVE LOVE the buffalo chicken salad-and it has over 1,000 calories in it! That floored me. I mean, it's SALAD!
You'll make the right choices, I know it.
Oh man, Dawn-what time is DINNER!!!! yum!

You can come on over, we'll have plenty lol You should try it, the house smells delicious and it is SO good. I cook it in the crockpot for 6-8 hours and it just falls apart to eat as a sandwich. We usually put the leftovers in a pita the next day for lunch. Yum!

Going out for dinner: I always try to plan when I'm going out for lunch/dinner that way I can eat veggies most of the day and save up enough calories for my dinner. I hate going out to eat and having to eat off of the healthy menu. I eat healthy all.of.the.time, once in a while isn't going to break me, right? I have started to order my meal and cut my chicken sandwich and fries in half... ask the waiter for a box and box half of it up right then and there. My husband either takes it for lunch the next day or my kids eat it.

Today at the gym, the scale read 225.5! I am not putting it in my ticker until Friday, which I am making my new weigh in day. That will be the weigh in day for a "Biggest Loser" contest I am doing with some friends. I really hope this is a "real" loss since I have been feeling so down about staying in the same place for a couple weeks now. It is way too early in my journey for a stall.

For breakfast I had a banana with some peanut butter and I had a turkey sandwich for lunch and some snack mix for a snack. Dinner will be soup and 1/2 sandwich.

I had a great workout. Mostly weights and 15 minutes elliptical and 20 on the treadmill.

Great job, Theresa!!! Keep it up. We can do this!

Good Job Teresa! It feels so good to see the scale go down. I'm still trying to figure out if I should go by my gym scale or the scale at home. I don't get to the gym until 5:30pm so its not that accurate right?

Good morning everyone else. I stepped on the scale here at home this morning and I'm between 204 and 205 I hope this weight keeps falling off and FAST lol I'm going to the beach next month.

Whats everyone eating today?

I only trust the scale at the gym. My digital one at home gave me 3 different readings in one minute yesterday.

I am going out for dinner with friends later (girls night!!) so I am eating light. And then I will watch what I put in my mouth at the restaurant. Babies are cranky, so I am skipping the gym this morning, but I may load all the kids up and go for a walk.

Teresa- I don't know if you read my post yesterday about going out to eat. I always get what I WANT and eat half of it there and box up the other half for the next day. The meals I get run about 1000-1200 calories per meal (yikes) but if I cut it in half then it doesn't seem as bad lol

I love having this little group to talk to, it makes me feel like I'm CC with friends so it makes me stay on track a little better

I'm not sure if I'm going to stick to this but heres what I have on my menu for the day. I loooove this roast so its so hard not to eat it

Breakfast: 16 oz coffee with 3 tsp creamer and 3 tsp of sugar (83 cal)

Lunch: 1 cup of roast and 1 cup of broccoli (483 cal) YIKES!

Dinner: 1 cup of roast and 1 cup of broccoli (438 cal) YIKES!

TOTAL: 1049 Calories with 150 left over for snacks.

Should I keep it or not? This roast is going to kill me lol

I agree, Dawn!
Morning. I still have this lingering cold, but I did my ab/strength portion of the 30 day shred last night and this morning my abs HUUURRRRTTT. I guess that means its working, right?
How is everyone today?
