Make a Plan and Stick to it for Monday May 1st!
 

Those who fail to plan, plan to fail. Tomorrow is not only the first day of a new week, but it's also the first of a whole new month. And one with generally wonderful weather to boot! There's still lots of time today to prepare. Most of us still could run to a store if we needed to.

What are you going to do tomorrow? Food? Exercise?

My sentiments exactly. I am 210 and joined WW but keep eating compulsively. I want to set up a week of 26-31 point days so I am going to search for some ideas.

Okay, finally made my grocery list for the week so I know what's for dinner tomorrow ;)

B - 2 pieces of whole grain toast, natural peanut butter

S - 2% Greek yogurt with 1 tbs honey, 1 cup blackberries

L - friend and I are going to Chipotle - veggie burrito bol, white rice, black beans, tons of pico, salsa, tons of romaine, half the guac

S - tall non fat sugar free latte

S - mango

S - cut up veggies (grape tomatoes, baby carrots, orange pepper strips, sugar snap peas)

D - quinoa/black bean/sweet potato quesadillas. 2 whole wheat tortillas, lots of salsa

I've thought about it too and have packed my lunch while I made supper.
Breakfast, my shake-mixed fruit, psyllium, egg whites and whey protein
Snack-yogurt, cottage cheese and blueberries
Lunch- cottage cheese, salad, maybe tuna
Supper- salmon, salad and the college boy's choice of vegetable
more snacks and/or dessert- yogurt, cottage cheese, oatmeal, baby carrots

My goal for May is to get my heart rate up for 20 minutes 6 days a week so I should do that too.

Susan -- Do you put your eggwhites in your morning shake raw? I did that once and had the WORSE gasssssss :lol: ...

Great thread Susan, you always have good ideas ;) ... I've got to get crackalakin' for the summer ... I tried some summer clothing this afternoon and some were a tad tight!

Tomorrow will be a difficult one because I am taking my parents up to Ottawa for an appointment but I'll do my best...
M1 -- my usual oatmeal and eggwhites
M2 -- chicken and salad at St. Hubert
M3 -- Leftovers from tonight, salmon and squash...

Gas? What gas? You've been talking to my family, haven't you?

NOOOO :no: the smell, the smell ....:rofl:.....

I had to give up my home made hummus. It was...deadly.

I'm always DEADLY!!!

here's what i have in mind for tomorrow, back to work for me so the b-fast and lunch are all packed and ready.

b- fiber1 cereal, skim milk, banana, coffee
s- cut up watermelon
l- smart ones santa fe rice and beans, cucumber and tomato salad, grapes
s-ff yogurt

Hi everyone!!

I did grocery shopping yesterday and the house is full of fruit, brown rice and vegetables.

Breakfast: Kashi Go Lean; skim milk; 1/2 banana
Snack: granola bar
Lunch: not sure cause i have lunch with the boss, but i know we are walking to Canyon Cafe and they have lots of good choices there.
Snack: apple
Dinner: brown rice; veggie mix; serving of ham

Exercise: 2 mile running on treadmill; 45 min of weights

so for i think 2 days this week i went over my calorie limit so i didnt weigh myself for a few days then today i weighed myself again and i weighed 125.5, so i actually lost 1lb since at least 5 days ago when i had last weighed myself.
b-carnation instant breakfast
l-apple and some cheesey crackers with peaunut butter in the middle
s- 100 calorie pack thin crisps and yogurt or sherbet
d- chicken
s- apple sauce

exercise: run or walk at least 1/4 mile, 30 minute pilates video, and 1hr dance class

Not totally sure about tomorrow yet but this is my best guess:

B- quaker instant flavoured oatmeal; frozen strawberries; banana
S- coffee with fat free french vanilla cream and a small bit of sugar
L- salad probably with shrimp and fat free italian dressing; orange
S- fat free yogurt and cheerios mixed
D- lean cousin (for sure! I have had the written down for days and never had one yet) - if the boyfriend is not working I will have something else

Water- 3+ liters
Exercise- 30min (5min walk, 25min jog) and/or might try my new pilates set (will probably be none is boyfriend is not working)

I did a bit bad this weekend. This morning at 1:30am my boyfriend and I had some pizza and I had a low fat fruit bar from startbucks this afternoon (only 1.5 grams of fat but not sure about calories).

I did start jogging on my treadmill this weekend. I used to do an hour walking but I cut it down to 30 min and try and make 25 of it jogging. I manged to do 10 min today without stopping! I have never done that in my life - and the only reason I had to slow down was because my lower legs get sore. I need to get better runners.

I didn't see this until today....today is a low cal day...so..

1 2 eggs
2 saled w/ ham, lettuce, egg...lemon juice for dressing
3 3 meatballs on more lettuce-saled fixings, cucumber and such....

(my hubby is making meatball subs for dinner, this may not hold out...LOL)

HUH...OK...I just re-read the title to the thread...I am sicking to it!!!!

(I have not told him of my plans on dieting yet, as many times as I stopped and started diets I think he out lose it...LOL.....he's very loving and supportive, but it does wear on him sometimes and I see it.....ok..back to food plans....:)

Here I am! here I am!
B- 1 sl WWbread chicken sand.
s-peaches
L-Salad with grilled chicken
s-tuna
D-not sure

I am going to be good this week I have my bike trip this weekend and I would love to make it to Onederland!!
Walk 2miles
Workout 20min
Weights 20min

Me too! well minus the bike trip but I really want to see Onederland this week.

I totally forgot! Something great happened this weekend :)

I went shopping Friday night because I wanted new jeans. It isn't what I have lost so much weight that my old ones don't fit - it was that I had 3 pairs (all the same with different colours) and I hated them. At first I liked them but I realized about a month ago they look really bad on me and made me look even fatter. They didn't really give me any shape etc. I decided that since I wasn't losing weight very fast and feel awful about how I look that I was going to buy new jeans in an attempt to feel better.

Well I went into Addition-Elle and just looked - I hated all the jeans! They come up really high and I didn't want that and I sure didnt want to spend 70-80$ on something I don't plan on wearing for very long. So I went to Winners. I tried on a 14W (they fit a bit tight but were ugly) and an 18W and they were kinda baggy. That was all Winners had for jeans.

I was with a friend and he LOVES to shop at The Gap. He told me to look there for jeans and I was like there is NO way I am going to fit them. But I looked anyway and tried a pair or regular 16's on and they FIT! I couldn't believe it! They are a tad tight in the legs, but other then that they totally fit! If anything kinda lose in the wasit! I was so happy I bought them even if they didn't look totally amazing on me. We then went to Urban Planet. I always that that was a store for skinny girls. Apparently not because they go up to size 15 pants and those fit too! AND they were only 20$! The funny thing is, I always told me I would never buy from Urban Planet because they make all their clothes so small. I said I refused to shop somewhere that didn't make anything bigger then a 10. I am glad I was wrong because they have cheap cute stuff! haha

I was so happy - I am wearing teenage girl jeans even tho I haven't lost much weight. 13 pounds ago I might not have been able to wear them. But even when I was 30 pounds lighter (so like size 13/14ish) I had it stuck in my head that I couldn't shop at these stores; I always thought I was too big. But to my surpise these stores do carry larger sizes and I NO LONGER HAVE TO BUY PLUS SIZSES!!! Well maybe some shirts cuz I have big boobs....

But anyway, I just wanted to share my happy story :)

I also got myself some nice sexy perfume... Eternity Summer - SMELLS SO AMAZING!! :)

My plan was to start South Beach, and so far that is going well. I have an interview this afternoon, and I hope to workout tonight... if the house isn't too hot.

I forgot to put my yogurt in my bag! So I ate cookies instead :o Fitday says the damage is not beyond repair :)
