Hey chickies!! I did pretty good yesterday, especially seeing it was the first day of TOM. The only bad food I had were 6 white cheddar cheezits, but, no sweets, and I had a Healthy Chioce Meal for dinner while the rest of my family ate chicken nuggets and macaroni and cheese. I was going to have the same as my family, but when I read that 5 chicken nuggets alone had 210 calories and 6 grams of fat, I changed my mind. My whole dinner only had 250 calories and 6 grams of fat. I added some cooked winter squash, just so I wouldn't be hungry later.
So far :crossmyfingers today has been great! I got up at 5 am, blah, and did Kathy Smith's Time Saver Cardio Workout, ate a slimfast meal on the go bar for breakfeast (was running behind, and soooo wanted a McDonalds Bacon Egg and Cheese Biscuit, but resisted), and some applesauce. Have also drank 1 liter of water so far. I weighed myself this morning, shouldn't have bc it is TOM, but, the scale said 154.5. I'll take it. Better than 155.5!
Angie,
Great job on the loss! You have done so well. If I can lose 10 pounds I'll be ecstatic. I can't imagine doing the work you have. I have such a hard time losing weight, and get frustrated very easily.
Kempy,
Sweets is my downfall as well. I have started to eat more fruit, hoping it will calm the cravings. I ate a bag of black cherries yesterday, and today, applesauce is the choice. What kind of food plan are you on? I am not on any plan, just trying to avoid sweets, and eat less starchy foods, and I LOOOVEE potatoes. I guess that comes from being Irish
.
Noelle,
Yea, the smoothies are kind of sweet, but are low in calories, and easy when on the go. Don't get discouraged, you have done a good job. I feel like the only one who can't seem to lose, and keep it off. I go from 153 to 155, up and down, up and down. Seems like moons ago I saw 140. Most of the time feel like I will never get there. Ho hum.
Thanks for the info on liters, ounces, etc.
Hello to everyone!! Here's to an OP day!!!!
