Yesterday i couldn't get into the site at all, not even the front page... I wonder if I was the only one ?
Well my recipe turned out good, my family liked it a lot too
I had yesterday off, State Holiday... I was on track until we decided to go to Cold Stone Creamery... ugh!
But I did work out Wednesday night, and yesterday morning, so it should be ok. I weiged in this morning: 125. So pretty much I am just fluctuating, I am sure tommorow the ice cream binge will hit and it will be different
Angie, I am trying to hit my goal by August 30th now, we could challenge eachother or something, maybe that would get us out of our funks
Kempy, I love italian food also, that sounds SOOOOO good, thanks !!
Emily, I worked at a carwash as a teenager, therefor I hate mini vans..
CG- is SBD low carb ? I have to hand it to anyone who can survive on low carb.. I would DIE. I am not a big meat eater, I cannot live without bread and stuff... that's why I went low cal
Have a good day ladies, I have to take my kids to work with me today, that should be interesting. We had yesterday off for a state holiday, then we have to go back for friday, makes a lot of sense to me But I don't have a babysitter because most normal people take their vacation the whole weekend.
Kempy - thanks for the recipe. I look forward to trying it. I just can't tell my husband that it's low fat because he will not eat it...what he doesn't know...I made him chocolate mossue once that he loved - I didn't and still won't tell him it was made with tofu. He keeps asking for it - so I must of done something right.
Tonya - for maintenance you are supposed to eat at the higher end of your range (22 -23)and then eat what ever exercise points you do (1pt per 30 minutes of exercise)
CG - God Bless you for such a strict diet. I hope you have many foods you love in Tokyo that go along with this.
I have 2 weddings and a going away party this weekend so I have been eating more a vegetarian diet this week because of these events. keep your fingers crossed for me.
If I do not get back on these boards again I hope all of you have a great weekend!
I am just getting a chance to post. Fridays are busy busy busy.
Kempy, Your recipe sounds good. I will have to try that one too. I love trying new recipes out.
Tonya, a challenge sounds great. I plan to get back to it on Sunday so I will try to get down to 135 by the end of August. I have no idea what kind of damage I have done this week so I will just try to hit 135.
CG, I couldnt do lowcarb either. I love bread and pasta and eat them every day. hehe
GEM, Have fun at your parties this week. Good Luck.
Sandy, You have fun at your parties this weekend too. I want to see you back here Monday and maybe you will join me and Tonya for a challenge? They are fun to do and they help keep us focused.
cool beans Angie, maybe that will get me back in gear
I took my kids to McDonald's to eat and play around in playplace cause they were getting bored and antsy at my work... well I was doing well, stuck to the salad I usually get, then I got a kiddie cone, and then my son didn't finish his fries.. and boom, I started picking at them .. Looks like I can squeeze a small dinner in and still be ok.. wish me luck.
Hey everyone. Just got back from lunch at my son's school--it was his last day and all parents were invited. It was a nice send-off, a few tears flowed but mostly from the adults--the kids didn't really care or didn't realize they weren't coming back. I got some pictures of his classmates and teachers so I'll keep them in his photo album. I brought my own subway sandwich so I was just fine. Even said no to the giant sheet cake they were slicing up so yay me! I've been doing great actually foodwise + exercise for the past few days, but of course here comes the weekend. Rick is taking our boy camping this weekend so I'll have ME time . Gosh, it's so dang hot here, 90 degrees and humid--feels like Louisiana .
Kempy thanks for the recipe~maybe I'll try it this weekend?
Angie I didn't catch that show you were talking about, of course I live nowhere near those millionaire neighborhoods, but I did live just on the outskirts. In fact, one of the streets on the slopes of diamond head is called "Noela" st, which is my name in Hawaiian . I wish I lived there... but yeah, I have to agree that this place is pretty beautiful to live in.
CG I'm glad to hear you willing to try 'different' cuisine. Hmm, ika for breakfast? Sounds good to me! Of course I couldn't stay from carbs--I need my sushi at least once weekly. Have a good night out.
Summer, good luck and have fun at your parties!
Tonya, what is that you do that you can bring your kiddies to work with you? I would go nuts too--I bring my son into my office with me sometimes and all he does is bug me to play "nickjr." or "cartoon neckwork" . We have an admissions day holiday coming up on 8/15--so I'm taking a long weekend off to Maui again.
Oh yeah, did I tell you guys that I'm going to Maui next week Friday too? So 2 trips to Maui in August. Hopefully I can maintain and not gain. I've been fluctuating like crazy 5 lbs up and down for the past 3 mos now? It's nuts. I need to buckle down BEFORE the fall holidays so I can enjoy them then and not worry about putting even more weight on then. I'll get it one day, I will!
Well, hope all of you have a great weekend....and all of you other lurkers (Jen and Sandy) pop in and say hi.
Ha! I beat everyone on today . It's 3:29 a.m. here, HI time. I woke up because we're having some booming thunder and lightening--it's so loud. My first thought was to nudge my hubby and have him go check on our boy, then I realize they weren't even here. They're out camping! So here I am, worrying. I'm on the dry, western part of the island and I can only imagine what the weather's like up on the north side...anywho, just thought I'd pop in quickly and say hi . Well, I should turn this off in case the power surges. See y'all later. Have a great day!
Congratulations to all of you who are doing so good!! I am so impressed with all of you!! I have had enough junk food I think. I am going to start again in the morning and I vow to hit at least 135 before I even consider letting any junk in my mouth. I had better look at my actions seriously now or I will be back to 206 and starting over a third time. YIKES!!
It is so hot today. I did my 3 miles this morning and then this afternoon I went to the library with Brittany so that was another 1 1/2 mile so not too bad from a woman who is so swollen and bloated that she hurts.
Tommorrow I want a swift kick in the ***. If I mention anything non dietary that I have put in my mouth than kick me. Ok?
Boy am I relieved. It has taken me quite a while to find the thread. I thought it would be all gone. I can't find my old journal. I'm on vacation for 2 weeks, and everything changes. You are probably beginning to figure out that I am not comfortable with change. I read that our old journals will be gone soon. I wish I knew that. A journal is a precious thing...something that you might want to refer back to...and to have it deleted is pretty awful. I thought about you ladies while I was away. You wouldn't believe how I ate and drank. Talk about indulgence. We had a great time in Cape Cod. My daughter made lots of friends, so she was totally entertained. I was able to read two novels. The beach was perfect. My husband and I just returned from our 3 day trip to Mohegan Sun to celebrate our 10th anniversary. It was wonderful...we rekindled our relationship. I haven't stepped on the scale yet. I know that I gained because my clothes are snug. Oh well, I'm ready to start thinking about getting healthy again. I'm just so glad that our thread still exists. I was really in a panic. Now that I am finally home, I will go back and read the recent entries, and try to catch up with all of you. I really missed you. I wish I could have taken you all with me. Summer
Welcome back Summer! Hey, vacations are a time for indulgence, especially if they include a 10th anniversary. Congratulations! . I know what you mean about changes. We're so used to the old style journals that it's been hard to get used to the new. I created a new one and maybe only journaled twice. It's just different and well, I'm a little hard-headed when it comes to changes like that. Anyway, glad you and the family had a great time at the Cape. Great to have you back.
We are having the absolute most worst weather this year. We have 94% humidity and our temps are around 88 degrees with no tradewinds and there's been lightning and thunder all day. DH and DS are still out camping. They called this morning to say that they managed to stay dry and were having a grand old time watching all the free nature light shows. There's no sun but it's warm so they're still swimming and rafting...I went shopping all day myself. I was so pooped this afternoon since I woke up at 3:30 a.m. and didn't go back to bed. I did sneak in an afternoon nap so I'm feeling pretty refreshed right now. If there's no lightning tomorrow, it's a morning walk for me.
Angie, great job on your walks woman! Good luck with the rest of your weight loss too. I have confidence that you will do exactly what you set out to do : . I'll start polishing up my doc martens in preparation for some swift kicks in the arse .
CG I had nigiri sushi for dinner yesterday. I'm sure I ate enough rice for the both of us . I just love it.
Well, I hear a ruckus upstairs, I better go see what's up. Have a great evening everyone.
keep your fingers crossed for me.
