My goals are almost the same as last challenge, too! Don't fear!!! We will get where we want to be some day! Keep writing those words. It does help me, that's for sure!
Hugs to you!
Julie

Ok. Its so hard working around my favorite food Well i will challenge you and just have one chocolate bar and count the points... Lets stay on track...

Hey Chicklets!

Hope you are all having a fabulous day!!

I am so excited, I have one bottle of water to go and I have eaten very well. I even cooked this jam up dinner for us and was worried that I'd over do, and I couldn't even eat the whole SMALL plate I fixed!!!! This is such an accomplishment for someone who seemed to have a bottomless pit. I am feeling so much more hope than I have in YEARS!!! Maybe I really can do this!

IF I CAN, ANYONE CAN!!!!!!!

Wishing you all a successful weekend!

i have been sooo good today I can hardly believe it myself!! Could it be I mean business every day?! I must exercise and then a snack and books/TV. British comedy calls me to the TV on the weekends! Hope you all have a wonderful night and sweet dreams!
Madcat~ You have bare naked ladies in your siggie!! Is that allowed here on 3FC?!

I'm getting so much better at keeping up with hubby!

In the parking lot, through the mall...no panting & needing to rest before I could continue. Only when we were on our way out, I was trying to hurry up, and twisted my ankle- looked like a total moron- stupid curb- was a slope, so I mis-stepped, and now my right ankle hurts, and is swollen. I've got to stretch it out. Funny, doing the WATP, or biking, or regular walking & stuff & I'm fine- put me in a mall & let me spend moeny- I get hurt doing that. LOL

Guess what I found at 7-11...they make a diet pepsi slushie now...and a crystal light one- raspberry ice! Finally!!! A low calorie alternative that still lets you have something frosty & cool when it's 88 degrees here the first week of April. Of course, it says "Enjoy it while it lasts" so we all need to complain to 7-11 that they need to keep these better choices around!

I've got an ace bandage on my ankle right now- hubby took care of finding one, and I'm going to try to move around on it. I don't need to be sidetracked for even a week with this challenge- not going to accept that. And if it does give me problems with the WATP tapes, I'll just have to up the bike work, and put those tapes aside for a week or so.

Today:

"Brunch" at 10:30 was a Taco Rollup:
3/4 cup taco meat
1 low fat tortilla
1/2 oz shredded cheddar

Snack: 4:30pm
20 oz Raspberry Ice 10 calorie slushie

Dinner:
Don't know yet, but I'm waaay under on my numbers so far. Since I'll be up later tonight & trying to get up a little earlier tomorrow, I'll have another "snack" tonight.

Don't forget to turn your clocks an hour ahead tonight when you go to sleep!

Oh my goodness, today....well what a bad eating day I had! I wouldn't blame you chicks if you made me leave the challenge . And here I was threatening Julie with the tazer!!! Julie, the tazer would be too kind for me!!! I went overboard. OMG - I was a wild woman!!! Yikes!!!!! I worked my a** off in the yard, so I got some exercise, but I'm not sure what was my problem today .

Here's the deal - tomorrow is a new day, and I am going to start fresh. I am very committed to this challenge - honest!!! I let the weekends "seduce" me into being carefree.

Jennifer - Poor chickie! I hope your ankle is o.k. Be sure to take care of yourself.

And...
Mel & Cindi - Way to go on the good eating!!!! I want my post to look like yours tomorrow. You are really encouraging me. Good job chicks!!!!

Crystal - I hope your day was great today. Sounds like I had a day today like you had yesterday.

Hotcup - Are you liking WW? I do WW also, and I really like it. Hope you are well

Lucy - Are you still full of energy?? Any Judo moves today?? Hope your back is feeling better chickie!!

Julie - We are planting a garden too!!! It will be a bit small. I want tomatoes, squash, cucumbers, peppers...just a few things!! Hope your day was awesome. Do you forgive me for threatening you with the tazer??? Am I a tazer bully?? I must surrender that device over to Jennifer, our fearless leader...

Here's to a fabulous Saturday evening for all the chickies. I'm off to ride my bike and try to work off some of these calories.

You can stay, but you've got to self-tazer tonight! Zzzzzzt! No, seriously, we all have those days. Pick yourself up, dust yourself off, get back at it in the morning, with a burst of exercise to start things off right.

Ok, dinner was:
5oz cube steak
1 tbsp A1 steak sauce
2 cups wax beans

and later, I can still have fat free, sugar free chocolate pudding, with a dollop of fat free, sugar free cool whip! Yum!!!

In the morning, I am going to try the WATP 1 mile, and if it gives me trouble, I'll do some biking. I swear, this is why I don't shop in stores- online is so much safer for me! LOL

Hi Gang

I see everyone is keeping posted, except me! I've stuck to my tasks, stayed in my food, exercise and water. I've even lost another pound since Wednesday.

I'm a bit worried about last night. I don't think I did bad, just not sure what it was under calories.

Yesterday, I had a slim-fast berry granola bar 220 calories
Lunch 1/2 cup eggbeaters and 1 slice diet bread 100 Calories
Pear 125

Then last night we went to a Japanese Habachi Steak house
I had salad w/ginger dressing
the vegtables
beansprouts
fish
and rice, if anything was very bad it was the rice but I had 855 calories to cover me so I should be pretty good, when we came home I had nothing.

Still get those nagging feeling about getting pushy and it happening faster but try and work my way through it. I found a book that I'm reading which talks about flipping your switch, to lose weight and take it off ane keep it off, so far, I'm finding it very accurate and interesting. I've always felt that the major part was the mind and once the mind was right the body would follow.

Another day so I will walk, and drink my water, and exercise. And hope another pound lost by Wednesday weigh in!

Allright,allright...you are forgiven this time, but if it happens again...Jennifer is gonna use that thing on you! Now go drink your water! I typed this once but somehow lost it when i sent it...i'll try again!

Hugs!

Great attitude, maggi! Don't worry about checking in all the time...some of us are just addicted to this site...and the challenge...we go a little crazy!

Ms. Mel...sounds like keeping you busy is the trick for you!! All that painting, girl took your mind off food! LOL! Are you British? Some of your posts sound like you might be...or maybe you just prefer their way of "speaking"!!

Hugs and her's to staying on track today!

OK, I just typed this really nice post to you and somehow the mouse fell and I lost it!!! That's the 3rd one this morning that I have lost...and when you hear my story, you'll know that this is not easy for me!

First, let me say that I'm so sorry about your ankle. I hope it heals soon and you can be up dancing again with Leslie...and you wanted to try Tae Bo, too! You'll find a way to keep moving, I'm sure, but keep it up and iced! That will help with the swelling! I sure hope there's no broken bones!

OK...well onto my story...I did awesome yesterday with food and exercise! Almost perfect...YEA me! It WAS perfect, but I wanted to try a Zone bar and we bought some at Walmart (only $.88) so I had one on the way out! Tell me why they have so many carbs??? Anyway...

I was cutting an onion for our most delicious meal that hubby was making last night...grilled fajita salad (it was yummy) and...I missed and cut my finger! It was right near the tip and cut part of the nail with it. If it had been any bigger, Imight have considered getting it stiched, but it's only about 1/8" wide, but it cut practically through...just hanging on by a "thread". I have it taped up real tight and am hoping it will heal! Hubby looked at it (he cuts his hands at work all the time...works with metal...so he thinks he's an expert on cuts) and said it would "hurt later, but would heal!" He's sooo sympathetic...NOT!

Anyway...that's my story! Ihave plenty to keep me busy today, so I must get off my butt and get going!

Happy Sunday..and hope eveyone remembered to turn their clocks ahead!! We are missing church today because I forgot! Oops!

Hugs!

Julie - I cut my finger last night too. I was slicing open a package, and was being careless. However, my cut is not as bad as yours sounds, just really sore!!

I am missing church today too- tsk! tsk! My husband is out of town all this next week, so I didn't want to wrestle the 3 boys alone.

Congrats on the perfect day I'm hoping to have one today!! Thanks for forgiving me

Maggi - I, too, got addicted to this site Just have to keep peeking in to see what is going on. Hope you are doing great today .

Jennifer - I am off today to go and find one of those diet slushy drinks. I love those, but don't drink them because they are so sugary. Thanks for the tip Hope you are feeling better today with the ankle!!!!!

First let me say it was Hotcup with the bare naked ladies!!! Sorry Madcat!
This is not the first time I have gotten confused with you 2!

Julie~ so sorry about the finger! OUCH! Hope it heals soon! Yes I am English and Welsh. But born here. Some of my Gram is still with me. She raised us. For some reason this website brings that out when I type. I think it's all the "international" bits

Lisa~ Thanks and hope you have a better day today. I'll be rooting for you!!! Everytime I see your avatar I want to take a BITE of the BUNNY!!!

Jen~ My DD2- OMG I couldn't believe it!! Hope you ankle gets better real fast. Try ice once in awhile for short periods only. Don't freeze it too much. Just cool it. Especially after the bike. Mom2 will shut up now!

I am starting off the day very well and intend to stay that way. Tuesday is food shop day and I need more fruit. I will spare you the "medical" details from my journal but will not be doing any exercise today. I could not finish exercising last night either. . But I will keep up with the food and water till I can get back to "moving" around! Gotta go and take some weight off the sore butt! Adios mi amigos!

Have a great day and take care! Happy Sunday!!
