Excuse all typos:))

Hi there. Lynn, I'm not aware of curing ulcers with antibiotics. Mine was found in 93 with an upper GI. Was told it may give me some problems now and then and how to control it with diet. Too bad I don't remember what to avoid. All I know is to avoid spicy foods. I'm sure I won't even feel it in a couple days. I have been cleaning since 7:30 this morning. It is now 12:15 and I have only stopped to eat lunch. I am going to count this as my activity for the day. :)

Lunch
2oz turkey with mustard and lettuce on light bread 3pts
1/2 C low fat cottage cheese 2pts

and I had a morning snack
pria 110 calorie bar 2pts

I'm sitting at 10 out of 22.

Hey Amy,
Here was what I was talking about
http://www.hbci.com/~wenonah/new/ulcer.htm
It probably doesn't apply to all ulcers.My boss got one and I was amazed she got rid of it with antibiotics.How could anyone avoid spicy food lol.I crave it.
Tomorrow starts my no more excuses phase.Eat healthy lose weight or else:)
I have been playing around too long.I will also be faithful to posting it here.Every BLT.

Good afternoon. Hope you guys are having a good day. It is hot here. We are having record heat. We had a student pass out at lunch today from heat and lack of fluids. Can't make them drink. What do you do?

Breakfast
malt o meal 3pts

work out with trainer burned 200 calories

lunch
2 special k waffles 3pts

snack
1/2 C low fat cottage cheese 2pts

8/12.

Not sure what the heck we are having for dinner. I am too hot to try to think about it.

Was a good eating day for me.Right up to the milk duds lol.Let's see:
banana 1
ww yogurt 1
1 cup lowfat milk 2
-------------------
triscuits 2

All and all could have been worse.

Amy are the kids back in school where you are?

I had a horrible day and drowned my sorrows with too much stuff.On the plus side I knew what I was doing and told myself today feel sorry for yourself and tomorrow use you anger and disappointment to get where you need to.That is a strong motivator living well and being healthy is the best revenge against an idiot.
Hope you guys are doing well.

Hi there. No worries Lynn, you'll be okay. I hate days like that. But they pass (thank gawd)! I have been doing ok. Not great, just ok. Wasn't feeling too well but got some antibiotics last night and they are already helping. Will check in tomorrow.

I hope you feel even better today Amy.I have no plan for today which is in itself a bad plan.Just going to do my best and will post after I know

Hi trulies. Hope the bar-b-que went well. I have grown to love veggie burgers. We even get our kids to eat them. I have had a bad eating day but a great day with my family. Tomorrow brings dinner with my folks and some swimming. I should do ok tho. Will check in later.

Hey where is everyone?I have done well eating wise.I won't weigh myself until Thursday and hopefully see some results.I hope you all are eating OP.I have no food plans for today except for breakfast which will be the usual.School is almost upon us so I will be out of excuses to avoid the gym.

Everyone must be busy getting ready for school to start.I know when that alarm went off at 6:30 I was not ready to haul my butt out of bed.
Breakfast was the usual I know for dinner we har having steak on the grill,cauliflower and potatoes.

Hi there. I have been out of town. Did not track points but maintained while on vacation. That's always good. Having a bad day today. So, I am gonna go get some Mexican food right now. :o A girl's got to do what a girl's got to do. Will check in later.

Congratulations Lynn! You're doing fantastic!!

Hey Amy!
I hope you had a good vacation.Wait for me mexican sounds good.Seriously I hope tomorrow will be a better day for you.Glad you are back.

Re-start
 

Anyone interested in restarting this whole thing????

I have not had a full week on program in I don't know how long. I want to get back in the groove. Stepped on the scale after the gym this morning, and I am at 173!!! AHHHHHHHH that's horrible!! I quit going to meetings but will sign back up this week.

Who's in???

Went to a new meeting yesterday at a new location. I am changing my ticker to reflect my actual current weight. This is a re-energized point for me. I have 16 official pounds to go to goal!!!!!


Today 25 point target:

breakfast
low sugar oatmeal 2pts

snack
yogurt with 1/3C go lean cereal on it 3pts

woke up at 5am and hit the awesome class at the gym. Forgot my Polar watch, not sure how many calories I burned. Gonna try to not eat my activity points tho.

Hey Amy,
Got your msg and I am on board.Let's do this thing and finally reach goal!

Hey Lynn, Saturday night. Getting ready to settle down into a movie. Doing ok but not perfect. Should show a loss. I will see on Tuesday. DH wants to do crab legs tomorrow night. They are on sale. I need to look them up. I know I'll have to skip the butter.

Spent the day at a scrapbook convention. It was a great time. I really enjoy getting out for several hours.

Enjoy the rest of your weekend. Check back in later.

Hi Lynn. Good to see your day went well. Mine has been good too. Only, I have had little variety as far as food is concerned.

breakfast 2/3 of my 2pt oatmeal. It just wasn't hitting the spot today. Had to force it down.

Did 25 minutes on treadmill and 30 with my personal trainer.

came home and ate about 3oz of turkey lunch meat.

lunch, ate more turkey lunch meat and a stick of string cheese.

had a non fat mocha from starbucks (3pts).

So, not good balance what so ever. I have to share.......I had a consultation today with a second Dr. for breast augmentation. I am scheduling for December. I have to be at goal by then. I am very energized now. I am excited to get some breasts again. :)

Will check in tomorrow.

--Amy

Amy,
You can have some of mine.Why is it always that way,those who got em don't want them and those that don't do.Congrats though that would be enough of an inspiration to reach goal.

I did my weight training class today 60 min.

Whoooo hoooo!!! I weighed in at my new meeting this afternoon. I lost three pounds!!! Oh my gosh. I can not remember the last time I had a loss like that. My only concern is that I am not quite eating right. As losing three pounds in one week shows. I am in such a hurry between shifts at school. Look what I mean..........

Breakfast
malt o meal 3pts

12 mile bike ride (burned 300 calories)

pria 110 calorie bar 2pts

lots of turkey lunch meat again (4-5 oz?) 4-5 points?
pretzels 2pts.


Have a PTO meeting at school tonight. They are feeding us Chipotle.???

Will try to be more balanced tomorrow.

--Amy

Great loss,as for your diet don't sweat it we are all guilty of it.Plan ahead that is the best way.Chipotle sounds good.I have tried for a couple years to buy the canned peppers and they don't have them I finally ordered them from Amazon.
I am so crippled today.That weight class kicked my butt.Did an hour of pilates this morning and 15 min.of cardio.I haven't done pilates since Feb.That was tough too.

Hello. Late posting tonight. Better late than never. Didn't get to work out today. I had my annual yuck exam today. Always feels great when that is done and you don't have to go back for another year.

breakfast
special K low fat waffles 2pts

lunch
quiznos salad with 1/2 of the flat bread and raspberry chipotle dressing. Not sure on the points. However, to ensure I did not consume the bread, I had the employee throw half away. Now that's bad.

no snack-I even skipped frozen yogurt when I took my kids for it this afternoon.

dinner-DH gone. Kids wanted Wendy's. I got a single burger 6pts I think.
I microwaved a potato at home and poured some of DD chili over it. Not too bad. Better than fries.

I have a bike ride tomorrow. Hopefully the eating will be better. I know I didn't over eat today. I have the hollow feeling I have in the evening when I'm doing well. In other words......I don't feel stuffed. :)

Well I was lazy yesterday.
I worked out but then came home and ate everything in sight.
I am feeling stressed,this is the second month in a row I have not had a period.I spotted{if you can call it that}for an hour but that was it.I took a pregnancy test last month and it was negative.Iam not supposed to get pregnant,but whats going on???????

Today I worked out for an hour and a half,which was good.
Had my usual breakfast.Creature of habit.
skipped lunch,bad lynn.
Dinner will be stuffed sole with au gratin potatoes and salad.

Did spinning today for 1hour
yoga for 20 min.

Hi Lynn. Sorry I wasn't on here over the weekend. Doing ok. The scale shows a slight up or maintain. I have weigh in tomorrow. It is TOM. Not sure if it's that or lack of journaling. Today was my birthday, so I was not quite perfect.

breakfast
oatmeal 2pts

lunch
8 nuggets from Chik-fil-A 8pts

dinner
beef taco 4
spanish rice 5

cake and ice cream I don't care. :o

Until tomorrow......

HAPPY BIRTHDAY AMY!!!
Weekends are not great for me either so don't feel bad,as long as we can get here during the week.
There is a law that says on your birthday anything goes,so have at it lol.
I hate weigh ins during tom and the week before.I only get 2 good weeks to weigh in.I lost a pound last week but I am sure it found me again.
On the plus side my working out is going well.2 weeks and not hurting except for sore muscles.The summer vacation from the gym seems to have helped my back.
Will get back after I really decide what to eat today.

Hi Lynn! Sorry I have not been on for quite some time. I am getting ready to head out of town for about a week and wanted to stop by and say....

1: I lost .6 last week. UGH!!! STILL at 168.

2: Hope to maintain over a fun filled fall break with my kiddos.

3: Keep up your hard work and exercise.

4: I promise to hit the message board as soon as I return home.

--Amy

You are so lucky Amy to be going so many places lately.My back screwed up any travel for me this year.Now that I can go,I can't because of INS.We put in an application for the Green Card and we can't leave the US until the say they received it.Kind of silly.I am a little stir crazy.
Heading to the gym shortly going to get in 1.5 hours there.

Hmm I was confused about where to go for our thread.Too much junk crowding my brain:)

Hi Lynn. I'm still here. That is scary that you couldn't find the thread. That means we have been away from it too long and it got piled in with old ones. Yikes! Well, I am winding down my fall break from school(kids) and work(me). I have had a great time to say the least. Missed two meetings and gained 4 pounds. I will get back to my normal meeting tomorrow. However, today begins my tracking points again.

On a good note: we purchased a horse yesterday. We got it for our daughter who has had an obsession with horses since she was about 3. My sister will board her. We just have to send money for feed every month. Not too bad. DD already rode her in a barrel race yesterday. I'm not ready to cut her free, so my older sister lead her. It is pretty exciting. How are you doing???

--Amy

PS

breakfast
malt-o-meal 3pts

gym 317 calories (20 cardio and 30 with trainer)

Wow Amy,a horse!Are you going to ride her too?Wonder how many calories that burns...Sounds like a lot of fun.My ex always told my daughter he was going to get her a horse...
Didn't there used to be a ww general forum and we were in there?
Things are good here.I haven't been behaving though.I can't seem to smarten up.I didn't want to visit my family with this weight on and at this point I am not sure I could get rid of it all but if I stuck with it I could get some.I hope.

Having a crappy couple days,the good news is I haven't used it as an excuse to eat everything.I have been getting in my workouts so that is a plus too.I am sure I will get out of my rut and go back to losing.I want that so much.

Wow. It was difficult to find this thread. Must post daily I guess.

Well, I still have not been back to a meeting since before Mexico. It's been a month I think. Tomorrow is the day. Back to my Tuesday afternoon meetings. Got to get this thing going again. My eating has even been bothering my husband. I have not gained much. Just the three pounds I lost a month ago. However, I am feeling very full bodied and fluffy. Lack of exercise is contributing to that.

Went to the gym today. My trainer wants me to burn 500 calories 3 days a week. I should be able to do that. Here's how it's starting out.........

breakfast
oatmeal 2pts
black coffee 0pts

gym-burned 257 calories.

Will check in later.
