Stacie-thanks for the positive outlook! I spoke with a trainer today and she said it's really probably just water weight. But just in case, I'm counting calories for now. But I definatley did not eat 10,000! Wow!
Brandy- hang in there girl! You know painting and moving are great workouts! I'm sure things will settle down! But drink your water! It will halp you feel a little more energized to get all the toxins flushed out!
Going to the gym tonight for atleast an hour. Mark get's done work at 3, so I figure I'll go around 4 and when I get home make dinner. I'm making chicken breasts. Not sure with what, though.

Mmmmmmm, chicken breasts, sounds like a good idea. Wonder if I have any in the freezer??

I like to do something super easy...take boneless & skinless chicken breast and pound it flat. I like to spread a bit of cream cheese on it, slices of prosciutto (or whatever meat ya like...bacon is good too), add some pre-cooked spinach, shredded mozza &/or feta & roll up, closing it up with a toothpick. Takes about 1/2 hr to cook in a 350 oven. I love this.

If I know I'm making this in advance, when I'm at the store, I'll get havarti or provolone to use instead of the mozza.

OK...now I KNOW what I'm having for dinner. I don't have any prosciutto so off to the store .

Your dinner sounds great. I usually just grill my chicken breast and use some carb-well BBQ sauce. I truely need some new chicken recipes. Being a southern cook, I have to admit I didn't know what some of those things are...LOL. What is prosciutto? My guess would be a type of cheese.

Hope everyone is having a great afternoon!!

I could have sworn that I posted here earlier today. Anyway, I am back on track and I feel much better. I'm actually happy to be back exercising, it makes me feel so good. It appears that whatever poundage I gained over the holidays is gone so I'm assuming it was mostly water weight. So I'm hoping to see at least a little loss by Sunday. I'm kind of hoping to be at least 289. I want another decade already.

Oh my ... look at you gals go!

gonna be:
Way to go on making all your holiday goals! You did great - keep up the good work! Those chicken breast rollups sure do sound good .. we are having chicken breasts for dinner tonite also with asparagus.

Kmg:
Welcome to our group! I hope you like it here and post with us often. You will get lots of support here - so check in often.

Mel:
Like everyone else has said I'm sure that is a temporary water gain or muscle wt .. you are doing very well so keep up the good work.

Carol:
I'm with you - I think 2006 is going to be our year for all of us! I too am working on my water intake .. each day gets a little bit better.

Brandy:
It does take a little extra push to get yourself back on track after being sick. You have to just keep trying harder. As for the water, you have to just keep drinking a little more each day and soon you will even start to crave it. That's what I am working on myself right now ... I used to be a great water drinker but got off track and now am working on getting my quota in every day. I'm getting there .. slowly. If nothing else right now, that water is very important!

Teahoney:
Good to hear from you. Glad to hear you too are back on track!

Sherry:
How are you feeling girl? Have you heard any news yet? Keep positive thoughts!

Sharon:
Hey there! Where are you? Miss you!

Um, well we have gone way over the 30 posts for this thread so guess it is time to start #11. So see you all there!
