Morning all!! Sorry I haven't been around.......between being sick and my back just killing me being at the computer just wasn't gonna work. Missed you all though. I am happy to say though that I weighed in this morning and I weighed 270lbs!!! I know I had set the goal of 269, but I'm happy since I haven't worked out in over 5 days. Hopefully I can get in a ride or something tonight!! Keep up the good work chickies and I'll do personals later!!

1st of my goals accomplished The scale says "153"

Woo-Hoo Brenda!!! You go girl!! You can do this!! Next week it's gonna read 152!

I went back and read everyone's entries since last week and you know ladies, I'm proud of each and everyone of you! I love the different 'gifts' you have listed and LOVE the tattoo idea. I'm just to chicken to do it. I'm glad we are all thinking more about what we are eating and drinking and helping each other out. Not that that hasn't happened before in this forum because it has it just seems like we are all really working hard at this!! Keep up the great work and stay OP chickies!!

You guys are doing great

Bec~ I hope your back is feeling better really soon!!

I slipped up on wine last night....only one glass tho!!

Today's plan....

Breaky~ protien/fibre shake
Lunch~ 2 boiled eggs w/butter
Supper~ bbq'd chicken w/broccoli slaw

Snacks~ lemon pudding (cottage cheese), cucumber w/cream cheese

BEC & Brenda, you guys ROCK!!! You're my inspiration, seriously! Way to go!!!

and, well, I suck because I just found yet ANOTHER gift I want to get myself. I decided I need an ipod (the itty bitty one) for when I walk...It's not a gift really, but a necessity

oh, yeah and a super cute jogging jacket, it's pink and has a little hole in the arms so you can kinda have 'gloves'...oh and it's got little reflective things.
man, I'm getting so vain.

so what do I do? "Sorry kids, you don't need anymore crap, moms buying for herself this year!!!"

I haven't had a chance to 'eat' had a low carb shake for breakfast and lunch because that's literally all I had. This evening I'm thinking of making a salad, but not really hungry so I dunno.

Is it too late to join the challenge? If not, I am going to think of some goals and post them tomorrow.

Jump right in Andrea!!!!

Of course it's not too late! Jump on in and tell us what you're gonna get to unwrap on Christmas day!!

Today's plan

Breaky~ spinach and goat cheese omlette
Lunch~ tuna w/mayo and 1/2 a cucumber

Ok, I think that I got my goals. I may have to add some on or change them a little, but this is a start for now.

1. November 25/05- I will be 240.
2. I will exercise 4 times a week.
3. I will eat OP 7 days a week...no more weekend binges.
4. December 9/05 I will be 235.
5. December 23/05 another personal goal loss.

Mine arent too good, but I will do some thinking on how to expand my ideas. What do you ladies think?


Here's todays food log (so far) I'm hungry today!!!

Breakfast- protein/fiber shake (thanks for the idea Robin!), a cup of coffee with 2 blue sweetener packs. Carbs=6 (I think)

Lunch- 1 1/2 cup salad greens (3) with chicken, it had breading on it but I tried to tear off as much as I could (maybe 5), 3 Tbs. ranch dressing...it was Light Done Right, so I'm not sure of carb count. Diet Dr. Pepper.

Supper- (planned) Tuna salad with mayo, and a spoonful of pickle reslish (if its low carb), and maybe a little lettuce or some broccoli depending on how many carbs I have left.
ACTUAL-7 FISH STICKS AND ALOT OF MACARONI AND CHEESE!

Snacks- A deviled egg later.

Water- At this point I have 64 oz in.
I plan on walking 2 miles after work.

How does it look so far?

Andrea, your goals look great! And simple is good to start with

looks great Andrea! I cant remember what plan your doing....your l/c and your dh is l/f ? Just a tip...you will notice that lowfat items will be higher in carbs, because they usually have alot more sugar in them. This makes a difference when your hungry like today, and you've run out of carbs....but you still want to eat.

Good Friday to all!

Last night I went over board on some pumpkin dip and spinach dip. I was w/a bunch of friends (none of us really needed to be eating it, but we did) and I had made it for my friends Lia Sophia and Mary Kay open house, but no one showed up except my friend, me (I made some of the dips I sell w/Homemade Gourmet) and my recruit who is also a friend to the MK & LS rep. Anyways....we started laughing and eating and having a good time....NOT GOOD. It was fun but I don't need to be eating like that especially when I can barely move myself right now. I'm gonna be on the road for 4 hours tonight driving.....AUGH and I'm not looking forward to that, but I have a show up north to do for family. Today's plan is to really watch what I am eating and to CONTROL it!!

Breakfast:SFLC shake
Lunch: a salad?? or a SFLC shake
Supper: a SFLC shake, actually it will probably be nothing because I will be getting ready to do the show but I don't want to be munching at this show. We shall see.

Exercise: NONE

Water:Not enough because I will be in the truck alone and I hate stopping and going potty alone especially at night.

Have a great & OP weekend all!!
