Day 15 again...
Good morning everyone. I am going to have to take a pause day yesterday. So redoing Day 15 today. Too much snacking from things people at work had brought back from their travels. And then, some high-calorie foods with the malt after work.... :( Oh well, I did get to the gym and have put on muscle, which means I burn more just sitting around.
I am going to be sooo busy in the coming days. Big races every weekend, need to fly up to the north island of Hokkaido to check out a farm for a story for a U.S. mag, then got four Hong Kong horses coming in for a race in June and got a call to cover their track work in the mornings every day in the week prior to that races. That means, jogging around trying to get comments from stable staff, then heading up to the press seats and whipping out a report to send off to H.K. :stress: Oh well, it's good training, as I'm thinking of starting up my own racing Web site.....after ticking off the new prez the other day, I think I am back in her good graces (thanks to me laying it on thick!) ....will see how that goes...and got an interview with the prez of the company that makes those sudoku puzzles. Ah, will I get time to ride the horse, the reason for my debts and having to run around? I plan on it! :yes: I brought my lunch to work yesterday, major accomplishment. Reduced price vegetables cooked up into a spaghetti sauce over whole-wheat noodles. Yum! Today, the same over brown rice. It really, really holds you. I have learned this and eat that first even though I may not be really feeling hunger pangs. Ok, all, good luck and hang in there! ******************** dj -- :cp: A big hand for you for sticking to the challenges despite the craziness of it all! :dancer: And congratulations on seeing the scale move! :bravo: marble -- Yeah, never heard of that coffee pot. Maybe it's here but don't know. I use paper filters over the pot with the filter holder, pour the hot water myself. Don't know if they have them there but they have all sorts of neat little holders to make one cup. I cannot understand how people can drink instant!? :barf: I suppose though that you get a taste for it and just don't think of it as "coffee." Now, I know that's not what you're doing. I'm just babbling here. Wow on those skirts! What are you doing that is making the weight come off? Just not eating so much? More exercising? What has motivated you? All those men chasing you? Power to you, girl! :spin: jolly -- Welcome back! Oh, no,overtired, cranky, tired and nauseous....perky gene...sorry, I have to laugh! :lol3: Like you said though, you weighed in the same, good considering the damage! Crank up, rev that engine and you'll be cruisin along in no time! :sunny: princess -- Hope things ease off at work. Good for you for starting again and not giving up! :bravo: veggie -- Ooh, broccoli...your fav?!?! Wow! :lol: Sounds like a very healthy diet! Excellent work! Obsidian -- Welcome back! Try, try again. You can do it!! Sushi -- Good luck on the work and I hope you can still stick to your challenge. Hope to hear from you again soon! :dance: |
Hi all. Day one - do core work, no soda, follow menu challenges all met.
Congrats on the loss Marble. Red, Ihear you on the finding time to see the horse thing. I mean to go last night, but didn't really get home in time. Tonight i was going to sneak out of work early, and that didn't happen. So tomorrow or bust! Good luck. And with the race interviews. I can't wait to watch the Preakness next weekend. Of course we have the Triple Crown buzz going on. We shall see. Everyone else - howdy :wave: I am off to bed. I hope. See you tomorrow. |
Good going, jolly! Hope you get to see your horse. Does someone let him out when you can't go or exercise him? Yes, the Amercian triple crown is so, bang, bang, bang, fast and furious. Here, it's modeled after the U.K. so spans the summer wrapping up with the equivalent of the St. Leger's. Wonder if Barbaro will take the Preakness. Six-and-a-half length win in the Derby. Wow! :eek:

I probably won't be around for a while. I'm not going to be home much for the next 2 weeks and when I am I have to buckle down and pack and do my mother's accounts (yawn).
Catch you all in a couple of weeks. I'll be back!!! |
Good morning all. Cool rainy morning here. Makes it hard to want to get up and go to the gym. Keep thinking how nice an hour nap on the couch would be . . . . But, final weigh in for my contest is Saturday. I need to work out. So off I go.
Hey Red. Yeah, my horse is outside during the day, so he exercises himself. Goofy boy. I don't get too hyped about the triple crown until the end of the final race. You get so much overload on the NEXT GREAT SUPERHORSE - I wait. Too many have come close and failed. Sweet Pea - hope to see you back soon, and that all goes well with accounts. Have a great day all. :wave: |
Good Morning...
Day 5 of challenge met. Good luck to everyone on their challenges.:carrot:

:(
Okay guys, looks like I'm back to day 1 (not only did I not get enough fiber, I got wayyyyyy too much protein) I think I have like 40% of my daily value of fiber... Oh well, today will change. I did have some cereal just now. I went out yesterday night to eat.... grrrr I had a BANANAS FOSTER dessert. MAN it was HUGE but I managed to eat all the ice cream. It was literally SOAKED in the bananas foster syrup. God I'm STILL recovering from it- apparenlty it made me so full, I dont even feel like eating today! (okay, it wasnt even JUST the dessert- but it was a GIANT hamgurger and one whole FRIED onion. It wasn't cool.. :( ) |
wow people race horses here? I didnt know we had some equestrian fanatics!!! I wish I could ride a horse...

Food Porn Alert!
Hi everyone. Way behind here with a story. I am clearing Day whatever it was yesterday, 15 I think. Really having trouble writing. Too many worries, not enough time. Ticked that I can't get to the gym today..idiots at work, the usual shite....sigh..wish me luck, PLEASE!!!
******************** Veggie, please watch the "food porn" as mentioned in the thread guidelines. No going on about your indulgent slipups... :nono: if that's what it was..no idea what bananas foster is...but don't explain it to me here! You can PM away to your heart's content. ;) How did you manage to stay on your budget with such indulgences? Someone picking up the tab? :lol3: Good luck starting again...we're not riding race horses here...just yeah, have horses and watch the races. I write about 'em. Do you like racing? Obsidian -- Congrats on Day 5! :bravo: jolly -- ok, glad to hear your horse gets out. Hope you got to the gym. How'd it go? sweet -- See you soon! :wave: |
Just managed to get in here for a minute. Had to take a pause day (one and only) because of the aeroplanes last Wednesday. I think today is day nine. I should go back and check it out. I will later.
Back later hopefully to bore the living daylights out of you all |
Shad -- Hello there! Pause day because of aeroplanes? Hmmm....sounds interesting. Tell us about it soon! :dancer:
|
Hi all.
Shad - yeah, why aeroplanes and pauses?? Sounds kind of like when a staff called in that he wasn't coming to work because the wind was blowing too hard . . . Red - GOOD LUCK! I really hope things get better soon. I did make it to the gym this morning, and it went fine. Did the elliptical trainer, and my feet didn't bleed today. I did not make it to the barn tonight due to work going late again. Plus, the weather was crap. I also ate horribly today - meetings all day with "treats" that I shouldn't have "treated" myself with. I also was worrying about crap I shouldn't have, which made me more likely to eat. . . . Not good. Obsidian, glad you had a good day. Veggie, hope you have a better day. Everyone else - where are you :?: Hope to hear from y'all soon. Have a good evening. |
Thanks jolly! One story down, one to go! Off to the office now...yeah, where are you all hiding? :listen: Come out and post! :sunny:
