Saturday, March 11th - Log

  • Good morning

    Exercise Log: Today I have alot of cleaning to do, hope that counts as exercise. I mean even my car.

    As far as food goes, I did see a yummy Paula Dean show with squash this morning, maybe if i tweek it it won't be as fattening as her's looked. Gosh I love that woman LOLOL. She's chubby but I'm surprised she's not 500 lbs the way she cooks.

    Food Log:
    B- Coffee,ww toast

    Speaking of food..... Easter is comming... I gotta make it simple, ham, taters and maybe that squash dish paula made.


    Hope you'll all join me on posting your daily log.
  • Hey leenie - a daily log will be great for me and easier for me to keep up with. I've just been crazy busy and a daily log won't be so overwhelming.

    Don't ya just love Paula Deen!

    My exercise for today was being busy busy busy around the house. Wish I could figue out a way to burn calories while I'm working on tax stuff - I was sitting at the table and calculating and figuring for 3 hours this afternoon and still not close to done. grrrrrrrr anybody else started on their tax stuff yet?

  • Hi pals! Today we went to the city to shop. At lunch we went to Subway and we had that new bistro sandwich. I didn't have the sauce-just extra veggies and it is soooo good. It's so new that they don't have the nutritional values yet. I figured it was better than a hamburger and french fries though. Oh, for breakfast, we had homemade buttermilk-honey bread and softened butter. It is so tasty that it doesn't need much butter.

    Did I tell you that we got a recumbant bike? Yup and I like it and R doesn't have to worry about me falling off like I did on the stationary bike. I only have one problem. Since my left foot has no muscle power in it, I find it almost impossible to keep it in the stirrup. So, we went to Home Depot and I bought some webbing and some Velcro. I'm going to sew up a strap to stablilize that foot in the stirrup. Beats duct tape, I guess .

    My goal is to work up to 30 minutes every other day on that bike. We also bought a TV and VCR so I won't get bored outa my head on the machine. Golly gee, I must tape Dr. Pill. Errrrr,I mean Dr. Phil .

    See you all later. Hugs and smooches. Love this daily chat.
  • just to clarify this is for food and exercise for the day???

    only thing is it's 130pm on sunday for me lol so maybe i'll keep mine somewhere else so i don't get confused hehe

    have to admit have been thinking about logging food. i have an excel spreadsheet i put it on daily (when i can be bothered) that i can cut n paste to a journals so i can see the trend
  • does this replace daily VERB?
  • Hey Ladies,

    Tippy I'm so glad you got a bike, thats great. Velcro is genious !!
    I agree with getting a tv to watch, I have my dreadmill in front of my TV.

    Cathy, I ran my butt off today too, around the house that is. I cleaned my kitchen, living room, bathroom, cleaned my van, inside and out which took me a few hours, then I put Easter decorations outside. The weather today was beautiful and I couldn't stand being inside. So I guess you could say I had my exercise for the day lol.

    Had soup for lunch and 1/2 cup mac & cheese for dinner w/ acorn squash.

    Sweetpea, this thread does not replace the Verb.... everyone is free to post where ever they like. Geepers you keep a log on an excel spreadsheet.... thats great !!

    Oh well... back to watching Willy Wonka with DD.... the new one zzzzzzzzzz.

    TTYT
  • Tippy - that sandwich sounds sooooooooooo good! I will have to check and see if we have them down here yet!

    No you did not tell us until today that you got a recumbant bike! that's great! if you get up to 30 minutes a day doing that - well that will be awesome! sounds like the strap for your foot is a good idea! did you not have a vcr before today? or this is just a new one to go in front of the bike? YOU GO GIRL!!!!!!

    Hey sweetpea - if you want - why not log your Saturday info on this thread - you know - kind of after the fact or at the end of the day. I know for me I do be "better" if I know I'm gonna be accountable to logging it in somewhere that others will see it.

    Leenie - you ought to sleep good tonight!!!!! did you put up that great big inflatable bunny again this year?

    I'm fixing to head to bed
    later gaters
  • It's now officially Sunday, but I can still remember everything I ate.

    PB&J
    Vegetable soup
    Bread (regular whole grain)
    A few grapes
    Sugar free pudding cup
    Half of a box of low-cal orange chicken stir fry (approx. 100 calories. I wasn't hungry)
    An egg
    Two pieces of toast (regular whole wheat)

    I had some diet soda and diet iced tea in there somewhere. I'll probably have a glass of milk before bed. I really wasn't all that hungry today, to be honest. When I went out to eat with my friends, I had to order small because I needed money to get into a movie.

    As far as exercise, I only got to ride my bike for ten minutes! I was planning on us going to a later movie, and as I was riding my bike to the gym to lift weights, my friend called and said we'd go to an earlier movie. Bleh. I didn't get to lift all week thanks to various things coming up and ruining my plans and I hardly exercised. It's all good, though, I'll get back at it next week. I go back to school next week which will be nice. Whee

    Kay that was a little long. I'm too tired and caffinated. Laterz <3
  • hi cathy that's a good idea post after the fact

    i've been slack haven't done the spreadsheet for a while but need to get back to it i guess i'll start for sunday seeing as i've already eaten my day's food. hmmm now to try and remember
