Hey there Ladies.. I finally got the go ahead for a signature so I got my ticker running and wanted to make a post to see how it looks.. lol ha... I am having a super hard tme gettin moving today.. I feel really slow and blah.. I managed breakfast this morning and that was it so far.. and it is 10 to 4 in the afternoon..I had liek a 3 hour nap earlier.. I feel slightly nausous.. agh I really hope I am not coming down with something...be back in a bit!

[Sunnigummi]

Gosh, I feel really full. Ugh.

Let's confess.

Breffix - Instant oatmeal maple & brown sugar with extra cinnamon (160 cals), 1 cup skim milk + 1 tbsp cocoa powder (120 cals)

Snack - cinnaroll (70 cals)

Lunch - Curried onion and potato with 2 rotis (500 cals)

Snack - Um. 4 cinnarolls (280 cals)

Dinner - 1 cup veggie rice + chicken from last night, 3 alu tikkis (potato cakes, kinda like latkes) and some curried onion and potato (1 million calories)

Ugh, I'm FULL from dinner. The problem was I took a nap in the afternoon. Woke up, went grocery shopping, came back and had to cook dinner. I was hungry so I stuffed myself with cinnarolls. Should not have done that. Oh well. What's done is done. My dinner didn't look like it was too much, but once I ate it, I was just super full. Should've stopped at the last tikki. It was too much. Grrr. Anyway. I'm guessing I hit 2000 for today. We also didn't exercise. I'm getting too complacent with the exercise. Time to kick my butt back into gear.

[Sunnigummi]

Cape, forgot to add that I love your trackers! The Xmas one is really cute. You look really pretty in your profile pic too.

[Cape Breton Chick]

Aweee Sunni! thanks so much.. i love that pic. that is my neice with me Britney.. she is 16 and is like my very own.. we are really close.. this was taken at her bf's prom this year..and i so hear you on the exercise.. I have to start some kind of plan here soon.. I think I pretty well have the meal thing down.. so now to add everyday exercise!

Here is my confession for today!

Breakfast - 2 medium eggs scrambled, 2 pcs. of multigrain toast with 2 tsp. margarine and 2 tsp. of my moms raspberry freezer jam(YUMMY!) and a glass (8oz) of skim milk

no lunch or am snack.. was feelin blah and did what i never ever do and went back to bed and slept most of the day away...i am not sick like my co-workers and friends, but I am thinkin its a combo of this inner ear bug i have which is nothing much and TOM is coming up soon...always get super tired before that..

afternoon snack - 36g. of Skinnys Sour Cream n Onion Corn Puffs, 1 cup of 7up

Dinner - 3oz chicken breast(shredded) and 2 tbsp honey garlic bbq sauce on a multigrain bun, sweet potato fries and 1/2c. 7up

[Hydra]

I did well today, right back on track after going over yesterday.

coffee with creamer
water

2 slices of gluten free bread with tuna salad and onion
dill pickle
big serving of steamed broccoli

fettechini alfredo meal by gluten free cafe **this was very good**
peas
water, water, water

carrots and celery to munch on this evening
reduced fat french dressing

I still have 175 calories for the day and I will snack on fruit and maybe some milk or yogurt in a bit. I have fresh cranberries and blueberries!

[Dagny18]

Haha confessions! I need to confess...
will you forgive me for eating, not one, not 2 but 2 and a half slices of zucchini bread?! My mom made it, I have no idea what it is in or the true calorie value of it.
But I think all is ok. I have decided to try breaking through my plateau by eating more calories. I found one thing that said to eat up to 2000 calories but I think aiming to eat 1700-1800 is better. I even planned to eat some yogurt but I want some peaches instead...all other food/meals were on plan!

[Cape Breton Chick]

That is Awesome Hydra! good for you! if you have any gluten free recipes you would like to share I would love to hear them.. I have IBS and i find the more gluten free I eat the better i feel.. I can still eat multigrains n such but limited per day, but when it comes to pastas.. i only buy Gluten free
DagnyI love zucchini bread! mmm... and yea I have heard alot of people talking about calorie staggering.. like some days higher then others...seems to be working for lots of people!
O...Echooo... come out come out whereever you are! where are you hiding today?

[Sunnigummi]

Hydra - way to go on the cals today!

Dagny - I've never tasted zucchini bread, but I've always heard awesome reviews from everyone who has eaten some. Hmmm...another bread recipe to try but for next month. I definitely went overboard with my dumdum idea of making cinnarolls. Dang nabbit!

I know right? She's been MIA today. Hope she's ok and just tired or something.

So, I'm going to get nosy. You don't have to answer if you don't want to, it's cool. I was under the impression you were 19 or 20 yourself. How do you have a neice who's 16??? I thought she was your friend when I first saw the pic!

[Cape Breton Chick]

Are you kidding me...? lol and no in no way is that nosey at all I do not mind one bit.. but um.. ha was it because of my looks that you thought i was younger... or do I come across younger in my speaking? lol Ethier way.. I am 31.. 32 in November...

[Cape Breton Chick]

O and Sunni.. Thank You.. You so just made my night.. I owe t all to my mom.. and well really both grandmothers.. good genes i guess..my nanny passed when she was 84 and barely a wrinkle! lol legal adult age here is 19, and i still get carded lots! lol

[Sunnigummi]

I based it off your pic. I'm 27 myself, so pish, we're both really, really, really young ok? Hehe. You're welcome.

I can't sleep. Must be the guilt from all those cinnarolls.

[Hydra]

Sunni - thanks for the encouragement!

Cape - I too have ibs and do much better without gluten. I have to eat gluten this week daily though because I am being tested for Celiac disease and you must have it in your system for the test to come out accurate. Here is a simple recipe I came up with that is really good. I am not much of a cook but this is simple to make:
GF Turkey Chili

1 lb ground turkey
1/3 cup 2% milk
1 large onion, finely chopped
1 Tbsp. chili powder
1 teaspoon sugar
1 8 oz. can gluten free tomato sauce
1 16 oz. can kidney beans

Sauté turkey and onion in a large skillet. Drain any oil. Add all other ingredients. Simmer uncovered for 30 minutes.
Serves six, approximately 250 calories per serving.

I ended up having some of those blueberries and cranberries I mentioned and opted for a small gatorade instead of milk or yogurt. I did not exercise yesterday. I will stay on plan today and do some type of exercise. Have a good day everyone!

[Sunnigummi]

ARGH! I gained a lb from yesterday. I know it was my heavy (carby) dinner that's the culprit. Today I'm out for a long walk to burn any excess cals in the hope of stabilizing or losing tomorrow. Man, I never realized the effect of carbs on my system! I bet I'd lose all my extra 20 lbs quickly if I went on that low/no-carb diet, but I don't have the strength in me to avoid carbs forever. So the slow way it is.

How you doin' today ladies?

[Cape Breton Chick]

Morning Everyone! I hope you ended up being able to sleep well Sunni after a while at least! And I have no doubt you will kick off that gained pound in no time!
Thanks Hydra, that recipe sounds great.. will have to try it! And good luck with your tests this week..will say a prayer for you!
Hope everyone has a great day... i will be back later

[Echo]
