  • Good Morning and Happy Hump Day

    Its soooooooo cold outside, hurry hurry spring. I don't mind winter but we've had a bit to much already this year (snow that is). More today and then this weekend ick.

    How's everyone's eating plans ? Last night I slipped a little (YES ALREADY) but I didn't do to much damage. Today I'm determined to be better I'm kinda low carbing during the day and having normal portions of carbs at night, such as a cup of noodles, etc...
    Whats everyone doing as far as an eating plan. UT OH NEW THREAD LOLOLOL.....

    TTYL, I haven't read yesterday's posts but I'll try today, the boss is here and driving me out of my mind. DON'T EVER WORK FOR A WOMAN, they are pathetic.........

    Love, Leens
  • Mornings Leens and all to come!

    I got up early again this morning but only had time for a 20 minute walk aerobics tape, but I figure something is better then nothing for me - hopefully it at least gets my metabolism going for the day.

    My son had a better baseball practice yesterday. He drank gatorade all during the day to make sure he wasn't dehydrated and was much better when he got home and I'm glad. I was really worried about him.

    Eating plan.....mine is actually only a little complex carbs at either breakfast or lunch but not eating any carbs at all at night - I try to stick with a big salad, or some grilled chicken or fish with veggies. I just find I do better if I don't have carbs at night. I also make sure I eat supper no later then 6:30. I'm trying to drink my 8 glasses of water everyday. Trying to keep things low cal and trying to eat lots of veggies and some fruit.

    I could yack all day but I've got paperwork I have to do.

    Later gaters

    hugs, Cathy

  • Good for you Cathy. I was able to get up this morning too. I did pilates before I came to work. I am such a wimp though b/c I didn't want to leave the house to go to the gym b/c it was cold outside (33F). I know some of you guys are way colder but like I said before that is why I live down here it is warmer here. If I lived somewhere colder I would stop functioning all together.

    My eating plan is to try to do 40-30-30. (carb, fat, protein) I think I have been doing pretty good with it. I got on the scale this morning and it was down 3.5 lbs. I know it was probably water but hey as long as it is coming off I don't care what it is. I have some goals for myself that I want to keep and that is a start.

    Liz I hope you have a great sleep.

    Hi to everyone to come.
  • You all are really inspiring me to take out my tapes and do them. Linny has been drilling it in my head for so long, I think she may have hit a nerve (or two )

    Cathy I have those walking tapes also, I REALLY need to start doing them, its such a crime to have them and let them collect dust while I am getting fatter & fatter.

    Kem, so what if you didn't run out in the cold, the main thing is you did your exercise and pilates aren't easy, I have those tapes too

    Lizzy, sweet dreams.

  • Kemp - congrats on the weight loss - that is awesome!
    Keep up on the good work.

    I don't like going anywhere to work out - it takes 30 minutes to get there, time to work out, and then 30 minutes back - plus whatever it costs. I could do 3 workouts in that amount of time, and I don't have that amount of time. Working out at home really works best for me, but everybody has to do what is best for them. I know some people workout better when they are meeting someone or have a set class to be at.

    Leens - I also have a new Leslie Sansone walking video that I got from www.christianbook.com It is called Walk THE Walk and it has a 1 miles and a 2 mile walk all set to upbeat Christian music and I really like it. I have several of her tapes because I like variety :-)

    Liz I hope you are sleeping!!!!

    hugs gang,
    Cathy
