Magistra Are you thinking about getting a pool or joining a club that has one?
Diana Ah, you got me! You just asked the million dollar question. I am embarrassed to say that I have a 13 yard rectangular pool in my back yard that DH keeps sparking blue all year round. It's perfect for swimming laps. So, you see, I have no excuse for not swimming.
this is my first attempt in a long time to commit and take action with an eating plan...I reported the first part of the day~~
H20 - 1 quart
lunch 1 cup cooked quinoa and sautéed vegetables
snack
-Wild garden snack pack pita and hummus - 210 calories, this is after my bf and father had iced coffees and donuts in a coffee shop while I sat across and watched..not really interested.
12 cherries, half an orange, 3 large strawberries
We went food shopping and picked out raw almonds to bring to work for a snack tomorrow, and the usually healthy stuff.
I registered for spin class tomorrow that starts at 5:45a, which i do three times a week, if you don't register exactly two days in advance to the minute, you will not get into the class.
O.k., a few more hours left today and i will be in bed..
I could use a calorie tool or something..if anyone reads this please let me know what and where to find this on the website?
hey everybody! back from Costco and got my kale salad and chopped rotisserie chicken only had a few samples and of course bought three of the sampled items - some organic coffee (they had someone there grinding it and we've been talking about getting organic since there are way too many chemicals involved in non-organic coffee, sadly), some angus burgers, and some aged cheddar from Australia. I also got frozen organic chicken breasts (they are amazing and they haven't had them in a while so I've been buying fresh) that are individually packaged. Few other things, too. Good stuff
I am going to go to the gym for a little cardio here pretty soon...haven't had lunch, though. Might just have some chicken or something. See ya
On the computer, there are several options.
Some folks use "my fitness pal" to keep track of their calorie intake,
others use "lose it." I use lose it. If you choose this one - we can connect on that page as well.
Here are links to both -- I hope this helps. It sounds like you are having a strong start to your plan...
Magistra - I just finished episode 3. Boy this moves quickly. I don't want to spoil anything, in case others haven't watched ... I'll just say -- I like the redhead WAYYYY better than the others. I look forward to seeing how this all plays out. Are they in the 2nd season presently??
ENJOY the rest of the day - Misti ... I plan to read your comment on the other thread.

Elizanh, welcome to the group and good luck with your goals! I use Lose It as well.
I made it through my work weekend without overeating! That makes one week on plan. Maybe it's for real this time. The late night OA phone meeting has been good and actually helps me relax enough to fall asleep after. I don't peep a word myself though. :blush:
Diana, the freethinkers OA group doesn't seem to be active. I get a daily reading forwarded each morning, but no discussion. Awwww well.
CoolMom Hopefully OA will continue to be helpful for you.
