Can't seem to pull my food scene together today. I feel all nibbly and prowly for some reason and am consuming too much sugar. I'm sure I'll go over my beloved 1500 calories today, but tomorrow is a new day, etc.
Good news is I had a good sweaty workout. I'm still loving my "Firm" videos!

Monday

Mix of Kashi cereals /2% milk
2 viactivs
Slimfast meal bar
lofat yogurt
pretzel stix (still less than a full serving for the day)
half order salmon Caesar salad
a few bites of ham and parts of dh's salad - way under 100 calories but let's say it's that many anyway

Will be having an i.c. treat in a few minutes - either a 1/2 svg lite ice cream or a Healthy Choice caramel sandwich

No exercise again today except as outlined by ceara - up and down stairs the whole livelong day.

Hello,
Sorry I haven't signed in lately but couldn't figure out how to get back into this area!
Oh well!
Monday I did okay with having:Akins morning cereal
coffee
Lunch: Black Bean soup homemade
1 piece of 50%fat red. jalapeno cheese
Dinner: sausage and peppers, onions, spaghetti sauce, cheese
on 1/2 a roll.
Then, I went for a 35 min. walk came home and the hubby was eating his dill potatoe chips and I ate 2 handfuls. Oh well at least I stopped there I guess.
Does anyone know if that Crystal Light is okay to use? I THAT OF COURSE JUST ATE CHIPS LAST NIGHT! WANTS TO JUMP BACK ON THE GOOD ROAD TODAY! Also what is this Viativ I see lots of people using do you still take calcium pills? Oh well if you get time let me know! Have a super day!

All right!!!! Scale is nudging in the right direction. The day went as planned with water ending it.

Onto the second day.

Have Storytime this am and a board meeting to chair tonight....yippee...so I am off. More thunder boomers last night and really noisy little frogs.

Am planning a good one! Portion control is the buzz phrase of the day!

Viactiv is a calcium supplement w/500 units per "chew" plus D & K. They are little chewable squares in various "candy" like flavors. Currently I have milk chocolate but there are others like caramel & strawberry. I report them because they have 20 calories apiece. I then take no other calcium supplement but make sure I get additional calcium in my diet to make my recommended level of 1200 units.

Welcome back, Skyfirefly!!! I sent you a pm awhile back and was hoping to see you again!!!!

I don't do Atkins so don't know about Crystal Lite ... it doesn't have sugar but sometimes artificial sweeteners act like sugar in the body. Maybe some of our South Beachers or Atkins members know?

Hi to all returning

s!!!! Portion control, yea, Sword Bearer, and in addition CALORIE CONTROL be my watchword today! I haven't exercised yet as I needed to do two deadline stories but WILL exercise sometime and am challenging myself to a 1600ish kind of calorie day to get that nasty ol' weekly average back in line!!!

Yowza, guys!!!! WE CAN DO THIS!!! Huzzah! Amen!!! Sis boom bah!!!

Never give up the ship!!! Hooray, it's a brand new day ... with no mistakes in it (yet), saith Anne o' Green Gables! Amen!

I'm taking a weaving class tonight and will be back after that with a full report!!!!
