What's wrong with flailing around? Chalene says that even the mistakes burn calories. That's the motto I live by.
When I am doing the Just Dance game and can't get a part I just improvise. I may look dumb, but it's just me and the dog and I figure as long as I am moving I'm burning calories.

Fashin I thought you were doing some type of exercising? Did I imagine that?
Lauren Did you get to the Zumba class? Have the temperatures warmed up enough to walk your dog?

Dinner
We ate at a Chinese Buffet. I think I did well. It would probably be too difficult to count the calories, so I won't. Also, my calories have been a little low the last few days, so this will be a zig zag for me.
Exercise:
~The Firm Total Body Time-Crunch
~Exercise TV Incredible Abs
Dinner:
Steak Fajitas (went to a mexican restaurant - if I knew before the snack I ate I wouldn't have eaten those 2 granola bars because my calories were too low - but I had no chips, no cheese and I had corn tortillas instead of flour)
Approximate calorie total is 1795 and that's with figuring 620 for the fajitas (that's the calorie count for fajitas at On the Border and I think these were probably comparable). I hope my estimate is accurate but it could be up to 200 more calories and I would still be under the maximum I'm supposed to be eating daily.
Question for those of you who keep track of water intake. Do you just drink out of one container? or carry a measured glass/bottle/thingy around with you?
Hey everyone! Glad to see so many healthy meals for today.
I made it through the day unscathed (I even had a little dessert, which is not necessarily off plan), and I'm looking forward to the rest of the week. I got some hiking in for exercise, but I don't know what I'm going to do tomorrow. Luckily, I know you all will hold me to it. ^_^
Diana - yes I did get to my Zumba class which was a lot of fun! The instructor had some new songs and moves for us to learn And yes, it is definitely warm enough out to walk the dog. High of 15 degrees yesterday! We went for a walk then stopped at the park on the way back to play fetch, we she enjoyed a lot. Today there is a high of 17 degrees expected!!!!!

Reason: Change to dinner
Breakfast - 403 calories
english muffin w/ laughing cow, bruschetta and falafel balls
.25 cup cottage cheese
.75 cup of low calorie cranberry juice
coffee w/ skim milk
Exercise:
If I do some awesome, if I don't that's okay too.
Water:
At least 5 litres.
Breakfast was slightly higher today then normal and kind of random, but I was trying to clean some almost empty containers out of the fridge.
patchworkpenguin - I have a 1L bottle at work that I drink of while I am at work, I aim to drink 4-5 of them during a work day. When I am at home I just drink water out of a glass and don't worry about it.
I wasn't very good for lunch today as I was craving some curly fries, but I def could've done alot worse.
Diana, you did not imagine it, lol but I decided to stop for the time being. With being so close to the 150's (which is a huge personal goal of mine) the workouts were making me gain and stressing me out so I decided not to worry about them for the time being. I'm still active, I have a 1 1/2 year old to run around after, a dog to walk, housework to do etc so I don't feel like I am sedentary, I'm just not comfortable adding regular workouts in to my routine yet.
3/17/2010 Check-in:
Breakfast
2 blueberry nutrigrain waffles
1 tsp light veggie oil "butter"
1 tbsp low cal syrup
3/4 cup 1% milk
large cup of coffee w/ 1/2 & 1/2 and sugar
Hi girls, mind if I join? I'm one of the preggo girls but that forum is quite slow, I figured this would be a good way to stay accountable.
I'm 26, 5'5, and currently 148.5lbs, and I'm also 29 weeks pregnant. I was around 122-123lbs before, and I have maintained for over 6 years. I used to be 160+lbs (I stopped weighing!!) However, I'll be back in the "weight loss group" quite soon!
I'm going to be gaining about one pound per week, but I want to stay accountable for good choices.

Not sure what's for dinner yet.
I don't know the calories... it will probably be in the 2200-2500 range!
Exercise: 1 hour walk with dog, 1 hour weight training, and dog park!
Fashin, I actually decided to back off on my exercise rotation/schedule because I felt the exercise was making me hungry all the time. So far, so good. I normally do a exercise slowdown in the spring/summer anyway. My interests change from cardio and heavy weights to pilates, yoga, and dance workouts. Its just too hot to get so intense in the summer.
Sacha, Nice to have you join us. Don't worry about the cals, we don't all count them. What kind of dog do you have? I like your kbell avatar, I recently caved and bought two kbells and several DVD workouts, after hearing about them for so many years, on a DVD exercise forum Diana and I are both members of.
