Just checking in to say that the Making Strides Against Breast Cancer walk was awesome!! I had so much fun and didn't want to stop walking. I can't wait to do something like that again. I think I'm hooked!
I'm off to bed, but I'll be around to chat tomorrow and to do personals. See you in the morning!
Hi, ladies! I have fallen off the wagon in a MAJOR way in the last 2-3 months, and I feel the idea that I'll ever lose weight slipping farther and farther away, so I'm back. Here goes, starting with today (approximate):
Two pancakes (320)
Coffee (100)
Three eggs (210)
Gelato (500)
Tempeh tacos (600)
Rice and beans (300)
Chips and salsa (300)
Pepsi (300)
Total: 2630
It's been a long time since I've kept track and really thought, "This is how many calories I had today."
(P.S. Congrats, blueridgegirl and shellsbrood, on your races!! I watched a race this weekend...I wish I could do one.)
Blueridge Have a wonderful vacation! I know you have really been looking forward to it. Stay safe!
ParadiseFalls Hi It's good to see you again. Today is a new day. Jump back on the wagon and take control of it! You can do it.
Krampus Yes, it's probably a lot of money. I've been working out to videos for probably 10-12 years now. We have stores here, Ross, TJ Maxx, and Marshall's, that you can purchase videos for under $5. I probably don't have as much money in my collection as one might think. My biggest "investment" has been the Turbo Fire. It was well worth the money and I have totally enjoyed it. It is a kickboxing style workout.
Sounds neat, I'll have to check it out when I come back to the US.
Today was going so well but the world is out there to force sweets and desserts on me. Stayed within an OK range factoring in exercise and have drunk a LOT of water today so maybe we'll see something good or at least not terrible...sigh
Good morning, wasn't feeling well this weekend and totally did not track, measure or count calories this weekend at all. Back on plan for this week though. Not sure I am going to get on the scale for a couple days though! lol
B: applesauce 1/2 c
70
L: 1 1/2 c grapes, 1c applesauce and 9 pieces lunch meat, 100 calorie snack pack
423
Blue: Anytime girl! Have a great time! See you when you get back!
Shells: Hi! Glad your walk was great. It's good to see you!
ParadiseFalls: Welcome back!!!! I am glad to see that you have taken that control back! You can do it! We're all here with you!
Krampus: Honestly, with all of the awesome working out that you do, I don't see a single problem with your calories. Don't get down on yourself for those sweets. You can indulge. You are not going overboard. I think you're doing great!!!!!
Nicole: Morning! Good to see you!
So today is going well for me. I stayed completely on plan all weekend. Complete with a trip to the movies WITH candy and popcorn. I stayed within calories and got my water in too. I am proud for my conscious choices this weekend!
The scale is down .6 today. I am happy. I will be 100% on plan today. One foot in front of the other.
Good morning ladies!
I've been MIA for a few days...busy gal. TOM did arrive, finally. lol This weekend I stayed on plan. I think yesterday was the only day I went off slightly, had a hot cocoa and went over 135 cals for the day. But, I think I made up for that. Saturday my husband and I walked over 4 miles and last night we ended up walking for a good 30-40 minutes - I'd guess about 1.5 miles? I was up almost 2 pounds (from waiting on TOM?) pretty sure it was water weight because I stayed on plan and was exercising! And my water input was much greater than my output, if ya know what I mean...but today I'm back down to 166.4! REALLY hoping I can hit my 10 pound mark this week. My reward if going to be a Pilates "kit" - ball, mat, exercises and resistance bands! And they are all pink! lol I'm excited! My husband is already giving me compliments...bless his heart. I really can't look in the mirror and tell a difference but he claims I look thinner. He's a peach!
Anywho...enough about my weekend. How was everyone's weekend? I saw a few of you did walks/marathons! AWESOME! That's terrific! Hope everyone had a lovely weekend and has a great week!
Here's the plan for today:
B- Egg w/sprinkle of cheese 90, 3 turkey sausage links 120, ww toast w/butter spread 70 (280)
S- Apple 90
L- Quesadilla 220, sour cream 30 (250)
S- Cup-a-soup w/crackers 90
D- Pesto (1 tbsp) 80, flatbread 160, slice of chicken breast (deli) 40, mozzarella slice 100 , salad w/ croutons & lite dressing 110 (490)
Total= 1200
20 mins Pilates
30 min walk (~1.5 miles)

Wow! What a weekend, I can't believe it is Monday again already. This weekend was not relaxing. Since the wedding on Friday night and wedding dress shopping yesterday the weekend was a total blur. Didn't really feel like I had a weekend unfortunately ... will be counting down to Friday.
I also have so much work from last week to catch up on - gonna be a crazy busy week!
I am a little up after the weekend after too many drinks and not enough water. But it's not a lot so I know i'll get back down in the next few days, today will be lot's of water and good eatin'.
I feel "off" today. I haven't been hungry at all, kinda nauseous actually. It's almost 11am and I know I need to eat something. Nothing sounds good, but I'll probably make some veggie soup and a sandwich or something in a bit. I hope I'm not getting sick again.
I'm back. Life continues to be hectic this week, but at least TOM is officially gone . AND even after cheating over the weekend, I am back to my lowest weight of 196.3
Anyway, I'm trying to get back in the habit of food journaling everyday. I've got to leave for therapy in a few minutes, so I will BBL for personals.
Have a wonderful Monday!
Hi chicks!!
I'm back online and (so it seems) managed to get rid of jet lag fairly quickly. My weekend was okay-ish. Everyone tried to do me a favor here by ordering my favorite (previously favorite at least ) foods, so I couldn't really say no when we ordered Indian food on Saturday and Sushi on Sunday. For my welcome, the kids had gotten me a piece of cake from my all-time favorite bakery and they were so excited, I couldn't stomach disappointing them. So I ate it. It tasted delicious but made me feel guilty. I think I've gotten the worst of my cravings out of the way on my first weekend here and the menu for this week is looking very promising (they cook South Beach here, so staying on plan should be easy).
Friday was an awful day food wise b/c with traveling and the time change, I ate a) too much and b) an extra meal. And I definitely didn't get enough water! Saturday was a bit better, but with Indian food in the evening, I'm sure I blew both calories and WW points past the limit. On the positive side, I have been walking every day, I'm drinking more water now than I normally do, and I've staved off the alcohol completely so far.
I'm still up 4-5 lbs from when I left . I think a lot of it might be water, b/c during the walk I definitely could tell my fingers were swelling up . Also, I don't know how accurate the scale here is - it hasn't been used in at least 2 years. So I'm trying not to psych myself out too much.
Anyway, here's my food from yesterday:
B - bagel with cream cheese
L - Leftover Indian food (veg) with no rice, fruit
S - 1/2 SB chicken echilada
D - Sushi (10-12 pieces), soy beans
I hope everyone's doing fine. I will be back to posting regularly now that my internet has been set up. I really did miss posting and reading on here - it's such a good motivation for me.
Hi everyone! This looks lovely! Can I join in too? I'm new here and this seems perfect to start out with. I'm currently on a 1200 diet plan Today Is Day 1. I do struggle with it at times so I think I really would find this helpful
