i was only short by 1 lb last month!! I think 10 is unrealistic.. but i like to see how close i can get !

Hi Everyone,
I'm back!!! I had two great weeks at the shore. We had great weather and lots of fun. My son really loves playing in the water and everyday made new friends. I had to go into NYC twice for meetings but that wasn't to bad.
I was crazy active. I was jogging almost every moring. I got up to 24 minutes straight with a five minute walk in between another 24 minutes. I'll have to keep it up. I wasn't really watchin what I ate the whole time. More than I should have but less than I would have. My WI is Sunday so I guess I"ll go and see what the damage is.
I didn't have time to read over the post but I'll try and catch up with everyone tomorrow.

wecome back jennie! sounds like u had a great time!

oh petra... i dont know if the fish oil caps do all that much for ur health.... but they sure clean out ur intestines.... lmao

thankfully they havent had that effect on chai

Welcome back Jennie !

I was just thinking yesterday that you should be home from your holiday soon. Glad that you had a good time and you are doing great with your running !

Not too much to report for me. I have a birthday party to go to this morning. One of the ladies at work is turning 50 and her kids are throwing a surprise breakfast party for her. Then it will just be the usual sunday stuff.. laundry and grocery shopping. Ahh what an exciting day :lol:

Well I best hop to it. Have a great day and take care !!

Good quality fish oil should be very good for your health. The problem with the capusles is that they tend to go rancid quickly. You should keep them in the refrigerator and not buy them in very large quantities. A lot of people like to buy the Karlson's oil and take it straight. They say it doesn't taste too bad, I've never tried it. I buy the omega 3 eggs and eat ground flax seed sometimes as an alternative.

Welcome back Jennie. Glad you had a good time.

I've been up to the usual Sunday stuff as well, church, groceries, getting food ready for the week, dog grooming. I've hardboiled 10 eggs, and grilled some meat for left overs. I bought some coconut oil today--now I just have to figure out what you are supposed to use it in. I know it's supposed to be good for you.

There's a big music festival in town this week (Musikfest) and our church "rents" out its parking lot as a fund raiser because we are located within walking distance of all the festivities. I'm on parking lot duty this afternoon for a few hours. It was raining earlier but it appears to have cleared up. I also want to go to the gym today because this will be a busy week for me.

Where has Lisa been?

I think I am going to take the day off from exercise. My body is just getting tired. I can tell when I need a break because I start not wanting to exercise.

Petra - I believe that Lisa is on vacation. I am with Curly and can't decide if I am meso or endo.

Jennie - Glad to have you back. Good job running on vacation. Keep it up!!

Tea - I hope you had a great time at the birthday breakfast.

Curly - I made some great whole wheat muffins yesterday that where really good. If you look for the south beach diet posts they have some good recipes. The one I made yesterday is under phase II breakfast. The baby loves them and has had 3 since I made them yesterday!! There are 7 different ways to make them. I made them with apples and cinnamon because apple is the only fruit I have reintroducted. You should try them.

Hi Ladies, thanks for the welcome back. I went to my meeting today just so I would get back inthe swing right away. So many times in the past, I have gone away, gainded a bunch, and was to ashamed to go to my WI so then I would start the gaining cycle. Not this time, I went back, and only gained .6! I'm very happy, it could just be water but honestly, I was enjoying what I was eating while I was away. Still healthy but you know not what the portions I should have had. So the running and extra excersise helped. Honestly, in the past I would gain like 5-10 pounds on a vaca so I am truely happy.

I have a quick question, I take a vitamin, L-Lycine because it keeps me from getting cold sores. I ran out and of course got a cold sore so I went to buy some at target and they had a little book you could look up what vitamins do, it says that L-Lysine turns in to L-Carnantine ( I know I'm spelling them wrong) I think some of you said you take the carnatine one. What are the effects? Just wondering.

I looked back over the past few days it looks like people are losing and staying motivated. It also looks like a few people arn't around, are some folks on Vacation or is the summer heat just getting to us?

Ok, there is no food in the house and that is a bad thing for me. so I gotta go shopping.

Didn't make it to the gym but I have been a busy low carb cook today. I made coconut custard pie without a crust--although I have alternative crust recipes too, and I made zucchini-feta pancakes for dinner tonight. These were awesome but a lot of work so for those of you who don't like to cook, I don't suggest them. I have another zucchini pancake recipe I'm going to try soon that looks easier so if that's also good, I'll share it. Lots of good looking zucchini in the supermarket right now.

Hope everyone else had a good sunday.

hey momx3 we must be "medo's" lol a combo of meso and endo's lmao

Hi everyone, first day back tracking my points and boy and I hungry!
I tried to look up the website to figure out your body type but all I found was one that says I'm a spoon. :( I found ones with the descriptions but no little quiz to figure it out. I'm interested to find out though, if you have a link could you PM me?
got my jog in today. I am going to try and get up early and get it in tomorrow but we'll see how that goes. I have an interview tomorrow for a promotion at work. A postion opened up and I have mixed emotions if I want it or not but I figured I'd at least try it. It to become a coordinator of the studio that I have been in part time for the past 2 years. I love working back there but, I don't know if I want the responsibility of the coordinator.

Petra, I used to make zuccini and carrot pancakes all the time when I was younger and a vegatarian. Do you fry yours. I should try to make them again, there are load of zuccs around right now.

Tea, how was the B-day breakfast. I love breakfast food so that would be a rough one for me.

Mom, I think its good to take breaks from the excersise, give your muscles a chance to rest. sounds like you are doing well.

Curly, Java, Lisa, Hi, how's it going.

Still trying to catch up on some of the old post.
Hope I didn't miss anyone,
Jennie

im down 1 lb!!!! geez i was so hoping to cross that 250 barrier and be 248.. I will jump for joy then! lol

:) Good morning my friends!

I lost 2 more pounds, and I made the Bronze President's Challenge. Took me 3 months, but I did it! I am sending for the little award stuff, because I think it is an accomplishment. It reminds me to be accountable and responsible for me. I am really pumped now. I LOVE pilates. My mom bought me a yoga mat (because she loves to leave little presents by my door) but the cats think when I roll it out, it is time for them to roll all over it. Some I actually am doing pilates around the 3 furry babies. I thinks its the texture.

Enough about me...I am proud of all of you, sounds like you are doing super!! Has anyone heard from Lisa...It's so unlike her not to check in? :?: I get worried.

Have a WONDERFUL DAY EVERYONE!
Love & Hugs, L2L ;)

Good Morning One and All !!

The birthday breakfast was great. Lots of fun and they served bacon, eggs, fruit, and bagels. So nothing too terrible.

Mom - you have been doing so well that I am sure the one day off exercise won't hurt you.

Curly and L2L - congrats on your losses !!

Jennie ~ great job at your WI.. you should be proud.

Petra ~ the pie sounds yummy.

Well I best get started on my work. Have a great day :D

Hi guys!

well this evening i did my workout 2x i am determined i want out of the 50's and really wanna be in the 230's grrrrrrrrrrrrr must work harder!!! lol

Long day again. Also had a dentist appointment tonight. I'm at that age where my fillings are falling out and have to be replaced. Also not my best food day either. I didn't eat any refined sugar or anything but went over my carbs by a few.

The pie turned out to be more cakey then custardy but it's pretty good. It's from Diana Lee's Low Carb Baking if anyone is interested. Mine seems to have a few less carbs then hers. I think because I used lite coconut.
