Welcome Noah UK, I am such a foodie, I wish I could have been at Harry's wedding for the leftovers...
Congrats CieCie! I did TOPs for a couple of years. The first year I did really well...
DIET: I am still a bit off with a burger, frappe, and a couple of rice krispy treats. I am really tired. I need to make some dinner.
EXERCISE: I walked tonight and did some knee exercises. No stability ball today. I gardened this am.
OTHER GOALS: I trimmed iris all morning. I still have a couple of patches to do in the back yard. I did not get anything else accomplished. I found a kitten on line that I'd like to get, but I could not get signed into the site. I wonder if it was a scam. Then someone tried to hack my computer. I am disappointed.

DH wanted to go to Carrabba's and have their Amore Monday. Last week I made the mistake of not ordering the broccoli steamed, it was sauteed so it was more calories. So this week I ordered the steamed broccoli but they were out so they subbed the asparagus,so that was still OK. My problem this week was that I looked online at the calories and the mini cannoli dessert said 180 calories. So all the meals/desserts are considered 1 serving so I assumed the same was for the mini cannoli. But I was wrong. On their menu it said 360 calories so that is 180 a piece not total. So my calories are a bit higher than I anticipated. But, what I am curious about is how I will react with the extra sodium with the fact that I have increased my water intake. So today's meal is a bit of a science experiment. Also, I avoided the bread.

Welcome Noah!
So this morning I met with the trainer who is going to design my workout and I can pick up up tomorrow afternoon, but before I left this morning I took advantage of the hydro massage for 7 minutes....it felt great. Then this evening I did 15 min elliptical, then did my 5 free weight exercises (full body) 4 sets 8 reps so now I have a bit of a base line. Then another 15 on the elliptical and then you guessed it dried off and another round of the aqua massage then Red light therapy for 12 min. I think I can get use to this. Tomorrow is all cardio....1st stepper 15, the elliptical 15 then treadmill 15 then incumbent bike for 15 before hitting that massage again LOL
I am hoping my mystery gain is gone in a few days...today's calories 1398 / 16.6 carbs, burn per fitbit 2040 so far. or 5.26 miles pretty low step day compared to other days.
Ok, I spent the afternoon not wanting to do anything!
My nose is clogged off and on but my sore throat is gone. Thank you Jesus!!!
So I ate 1600 calories. Logged 12,000 steps (I mowed the back lawn tonight). I wanted to TRY to not eat too much salt....but I had some salty things and pickles too..
I plan on finishing mowing and possibly weed eating in am...will see.
Ciecie, congrats on TOPS!!
HIYA Noah!
Nancy, wow...at least you got the base line. 16 carbs for the whole day. Is that net...I feel queasy thinking about it
Diana, that sounds lovely. I found the best mini canoli at Walmart at 120 calories.
So, last night before bed, my mouth and lips started swelling and I woke with some hives this morning. My fingers are also achy. The canoli were topped with pistachios. I didn't knowingly eat any. I am not sure what the shell was made of, was it made with almonds? I was doing fine before, but I'm thinking there was some type of allergy in the food. Another curiosity is the tomato sauce with the meatballs. Not allergy but it has been mentioned about sensitivity to nightshades. I haven't had pain in my fingers/joints in a while. All very interesting, but no definite answers. I did have a slight gain, but was not bad for me. Did the gain have more to do with calories/sodium or my reaction. I would say reaction. I have my appointment today to figure out about the angioedema. I will report back later.
Last night: Full Body Stretch (standing)
This morning: Oxycise
Calories for yesterday: 1765 +
Weigh In: 189.4
Up: .4
Have a Blessed day!

1 Peter 1:13
Wherefore gird up the loins of your mind, be sober, and hope to the end for the grace that is to be brought unto you at the revelation of Jesus Christ.
Fighters have to prepare for their bouts in every way possible. They train for a long time, working toward physical perfection. They eat properly, they rest regularly, they follow the instruction of their trainers closely, and they psych themselves up. Psyching entails a preparation of the mind that equals the preparation of the body. Dieters need that kind of mental preparation. As the Scrip-ture says, we must 'gird up the loins' of our minds. We are fighters against fatness, and the only way we can hope to be victorious is to prepare ourselves completely, day by day, in body, spirit, and mind.
Today's thought: I'm ready for a good fight against fat!
Diana I can't wait for our report back. I am convinced that our bodies just like to play games with us for laughs and giggles
WI down 2.4 167.8 I am beginning to wonder if there is something wrong with my scale these are some wild swings one way and the other. I have yet to remeasure since April but I think I will give the gym 4 weeks then do so.
Meals planed for today, breakfast my home made sous vide bites (way better than pricey starbucks) Lunch lettuce topped with taco seasoned beef, salsa and Italian dressing, dinner a light pasta dish so carbs will be on the higher side today.
Jen great job on the steps but sorry the nose is all stopped up I hate that
I'm so bloated, TOM is due any day and it needs to hurry up. I'm SO over menstrual cycles.
I was back at the gym last night, and every day this week as long as TOM isn't too bad. Some months are more crampy than others. :/
I don't know how people don't eat carbs, I've tried it and felt like I was starving to death. I have to have some in my diet, besides I've always been told it's okay to eat carbs if you're doing intense workouts because they convert to fuel. I definitely would consider my running as intense.
Diana: Has anyone ever heard from Larry again? I always wonder what happened to him.

novangel No, I have checked on his profile as well as all the other regulars (Ian, remember him?) and none of them have come back. Sometimes I feel like a crazy stalker for checking on them, but I am interested in their well being and hope they are doing well. Yes, I have checked on you when I didn't see you around. Feel better from TOM.
the same was for the mini cannoli. But I was wrong. On their menu it said 360 calories so that is 180 a piece not total.
