Okay I'm happy, I pulled the nutrition data for their spaghetti with meat sauce and it's 500 calories per DINNER order. If that's to be believed the only extra I'll have is the bread and that's a okay...especially since I'm splitting the spaghetti.

Serenity I hope your dinner goes well tonight. Is the extended family going to be at the dinner? :?: If so, try not to stress too much.

Insanity Pure Cardio

Ahhh, that's what I had after the fit test and it's just gotten worse, LOL! I have DOMs in my pants :rofl: OMG, I am ON ONE today! :lol:

As for the other comment... well, you know me... anything for the betterment of fitness :D After all, isn't my health worth it? :rofl: :carrot:

Diva - I think you are doing good. Being conscious of the decisions is a huge thing for us :)

Campana - I use MyFitnessPal for calorie counting and such.

Well, finally home from work. I have some studying for my finance mid-term on Friday to do tonight, and then it's Insanity time! I took a sneak peek at tonight's workout and not ashamed to say... I'm scared, :) It will be all good though. Since I am still sore, might as well work through it, :lol:

ItsMyTurn sending you study vibes :).

Diana no, but friends. It went well, I ended up ordering a full thing because mt daughter wanted pepperoni added and ew. Anyway I ate probably 1/3 to 1/2 mostly because I was full. I ate some calamari and some bread, totaled up to about 1800 for the day because while i had salad as well, I only put vinegar on it because I really am not a fan of shelf Italian generally. I was happy and the dessert. Originally everyone wanted one and they have this Italian ice box cake DH and I love, but no one saved room (LOL I had room) but decided NOT to :D. It's hard at times, the waitress was all encouraging to take dessert home but honestly I told her five minutes from now I'll not even want it...which was right.

I'll finish the spaghetti for lunch tomorrow though :carrot:

Hello all

Looks like some more successful days for all of you! Yay! And welcome, Pinkpendant.

Serenity, I am stunned at how much the Tonic Alchemy helps! I just don't have cravings like I did before -- my body is getting the nutrients it needs and craves -- and I have tons more energy! I love the stuff.

AM
Tonic Alchemy in small amt grapefruit juice, 1/2 freshly squeezed lime juice

Breakfast
3 oz tuna packet
1 steamed egg
6 bagel crisps

Snack
6 pineapple chunks

Lunch
1/3 can spicy red beans
3 oz brown rice
(was supposed to be 1/2 can beans, 4.4 oz brown rice, but was not hungry so did not finish)

Snack
Greek vanilla yogurt
3 tiny Satsumas

Dinner
Jack-in-the-Box grilled chicken salad
cottage cheese

40 minute pool workout

Counts as 4 additional miles toward my "cyber walk" to Seaside OR.
Current total 607 minutes of exercise = 60.7 miles
I am exactly halfway between Allyn and Shelton WA - 9 more miles to Shelton
193 total miles, minus 60.7, equals 132.3 more miles to Seaside
I think I am going to buy myself some flowers at the halfway point

Diva - Sounds like a great day :) That's awesome and sounds fun too

Misti - So glad you found something that works for you...that's great!!!

DD and I did the Insanity today. Wow, this one was not gentle..dang!!! Tomorrow is Cardio Recovery ... maybe that means a bit of a break in action? Who knows... I am not sneaking a peek tonight :) Have a super night all!!!

Ok so I joined one of those calorie counting pages and according to it I had 1187 calories today.

I will be logging my food in there daily. And sharing with you girls.

Diana is Insanity an intense workout?

Itsmyturn keep up the great work! and good luck with the studying...

Good Morning, Everyone! :wave:

Calories for yesterday: 1470 + :coffee2:
Weigh In: 148.8
Down: .2

Misti Good job on the pool workout!

Campana Insanity is a shorter, more intense cardio workout than I am used to. I normally do longer steady state cardio. We'll see how my body likes/dislikes it. ;)

ItsMyTurn Good job on Insanity! Cardio Recovery is basically a stretch workout. I thought it was going to be a less intense cardio workout, but it wasn't. I added on a short cardio workout when I did it.

Serenity Good job in having the spaghetti dinner in moderation.

Good morning, everyone!

Off we go for another successful day! LOL all these hard workouts are making me fall asleep and I don't get much else done. NOT easy getting up at 4 AM every day.

I was up a pound yesterday but back down to 266 today so hopefully it is gone this time. Neat thing is that usually I weigh more in the evening but the last few evenings have all been under 270. I never want to see the 270s again, hope hope.

Campana - Great job finding a site that works for you :)

Diana - I could really use a less intense workout today. A whole new muscle group feeling everything today, but hoping that means my horse walk goes away? Although now it may resemble a mummy :lol: I look forward to a bit less intense :) I will say that DD didn't puke last night though - first time since we started that she wasn't throwing up... so that's a NSV for her!

Misti I totally believe that too. I think when you're in balance, you do not crave unhealthy stuff. Although I do believe if you have an intense craving for something SOMEWHAT indulge, because there is a reason (hope that makes sense) but it needs to be a real not "in my head" craving.

ItsMyTurn yay for her not throwing up! Although, that workout scares me more now than evah :)

ALL I am glad I was able to eat and enjoy in moderation, I mean I didn't actively think more than a few minutes about the food while there. It was like "okay this" and that was that, the rest was relatively good conversation and what not.

Campana your plan to post sounds great. I really am glad there are so many calorie counters because sometimes I question things, i.e., last night's meal, and checked their website and several calculators to kind "reverify." It's not hard with stuff like say a Lean Cuisine, because it's on the box, but some stuff gets trickier.

Stats from August 1st!
Calories 1763
Yoga 65 minutes
Bike 25 minutes

Finally got out of bed and hiked up a mountain. It was high in the humidity so we had to stop for DD to catch her breath. At one point we had a race, declining path against stairs short cut. I ran most of the way, but still lost to her and the short cut. I figure I got the better workout though and who knew I could even run?! :D
