Sprinkles aren't too bad in calories. Cold Stone creamery lists the calories for all the regular toppings. (online) I love sprinkles. Esp on a krispy kreme donut, oops my bad, did I say that? lol
I walked 5 miles in the evening. I made myself go, glad I did once mile 1 was done. I am very absent minded lately. Too much info going in my brain and stuff is falling out.
Jen, remember to breath. I hate beyond busy days like those. I have slacked on laundry for too long now. I will be the one buried under 15 loads of misc dirty cloths. {{{waves}}}
Just checking in. Not doing so hot. Just trying to get life back to normal. I have started back to work doing only a couple of massages a day. My physio is very painful right now but it will be worth it in the long run. I'm still getting massage & chiro twice a week and doing strengthening exercises at home. My upper back and neck are a mess and I can't do near what I could do 5 weeks ago before the car accident. I thought I was out of shape then! Unfortunately we've been eating a lot of convenience food b/c I'm too wiped to get together a proper meal. Its going to get better I just have to tough it out.
It was our Canadian Thanksgiving this past weekend. I had a ton of company, which was good b/c DH was out of town. I've eaten a lot of pumpkin pie this week but at least it's made with skim milk and splenda. Plus too many potatoes and gravy. The leftovers are almost gone (thank goodness). A highlight of my weekend was when my brother & I went and watched Team Canada women's hockey team play the USA. It was an awesome game and Canada won 6-0!!! It was super. World-class hockey at its best. We made shirts and tattooed up our faces and cheered our hearts out. It was sooooooooo fun!! I can't wait for the winter Olympics. Hockey rules!!
Kier, I think its a great plan to have a goal after the holiday season. Hopefully I can get to that point. RIght now my goal is to be pain free and back to work full-time. Then maybe I can focus on losing some poundage. Good luck with the house hunt.
Jen, How did your WI go? Good luck!
Flower WTG on 5 miles! That's awesome!
Angie, how did you make out over Thanksgiving?
Anyway I gotta go have some lunch. Now if only I had some clue as to what I'm eating....
Hey all. I have been swamped today with making phone calls. I am sneeking in a quick peek here while no one is looking!!!
I lost 3 pounds. I was hoping for more since I haven't weighed in a couple weeks... then I pull myself back to reality and say.... JEN, you never lose quickly!! I even did the 3 day quick start on Monday through today and that is it! My body just doesn't want to realease the weight!! But Alas... 3 pounds is 3 pounds and I will take it. Just 5 left until vacation. Even if I don't make that, I will still be happy that I have lost some!!!!
KO... oh yah, I remember you saying you found a townhouse. I think I was confusing the 2!!!
Flower... keep up that walking. It will make your PG a breeze!!
Rina... I hope you can get your body back in shape. It sounds like you were injured quite badly!!! Just remember that convenience doesn't always mean that. Try making some crockpot meals so you don't have to mess with cooking in the evenings. It will be waiting there for you when you get home!!
Speaking of which, I think I need to resurrect or start a new recipe thread!!! Most of recipes don't have points on them tho!
Rina, just take it a day at a time. I agree about the crock pot. Even if it is just to cook a whole chicken in it. I love to do that and I have a great base for lunch and dinner for many days. I freeze what I won't eat within 2 days and it is so yummy and convient.
KO, I have cooked things for 8-10 hours before. But if it is chicken, you need to be careful because it will dry out with that length of time. I also have a recipe for black bean soup that cooks for 24 hours. Haven't had any problems with that length of time, as long as the recipe is meant to cook that long!!
Hi Rhina, living in Calgary is interesting during hockey season. Personally Im not interested in the sport. But how easy it is to get caught up in the red mile stuff.
Thanksgiving could of been worse,,,didn't over eat. Doubled up on salad and veggies with a couple of small slices of turkey. Yes did add cravy. And gawd help me,,,pumpkin pie. I am weak... *sigh I love the stuff....one time mentioning that I could eat a whole pie,,get sick and go back to eating more...thats just not right. I don't like any other food as much as pumpkin pie. Found a WW no crust recipe which I will be trying.
Thanks for all the ideas with the crock pot,,use mine alot.
Flower,,,hope you are conquering Mount Washmore.
KO if your not ready to buy,,,renting a place is the way to go. Specially if you haven't found the ONE.
Jen, what is the 3 day thing you do?
Im a lil down right now. I gained 2 lbs. Talked with the speaker after and going through my food journal she came back with,,,I didn't eat enough. Im so busy and well not hungry,,,would raither go without then eat bad stuff. Should of eaten the bad stuff..lol I had a bad day Sat. Chinese food is not a WW friendly. by the time I added it all up it was 30 points...ouch! Then Sunday we had our dinner... but the rest of the week I have been averaging about 10 points extra...plus my 35 bonus. And I started working out,,,did the gazelle for 30 min 2 nights.
Will be sure to eat all my points from now on. Seems weird to be saying that...
Anyways have a brutal headache,,think it was the inner child throwing a temper tantrum mentally over the gain...lol (sense of humour still intact)
night ladies
I have decided I have no clothes! Nothing, nada. Nothing to wear if I was skinny, fat, normal or pg! I don't mind grubbies around the house, but I have to take my youngest to the doc this morning for his well check and they treat you so much better if you look nice. I guess I wil have to invest in a few maternity cloths this time around. I normally just get big stuff. lol
I go to my last WI tonight. I am still journalling, probably will the whole time, just gotta figure out how many points to maintain. And right now veggies sound like the worst thing on earth. Gonna have to work on that.
Hey all, I am busy again today, so I thought I would pop in now. I am tired and tummy is not feeling well. I went to a meeting last night and they had pizza dip!!!
Angie, I did a 3 day quick start hoping it would help me get back on track. I had a menu to eat from and it was basically like eating at the very low end of points. I am not sure it worked that great, so i don't plan to re-try it any time in the near future. It made me really crabby and made me crave really bad by day 3. I am used to eating more from breakfast and lunch.
Flower, I know what you mean about clothes. I am in desperate need of some. I feel like I look sloppy because clothes are not in my budget at this time. I also need a haircut desperately.
bouncing in from my weight in i lost 1.8lbs sorry i havn't been around much this week, i've been battling one lb, i've lost it one day, its back the next etc, managed to have a break through this morning though and aparantly i lost that lb and her evil sister yey.
I maintained this week. Imagine that, I had 7 meals out, haven't had any real veggies, haven't had my minimum water. Leader is letting me come to meetings, just my goal is to maintain til I have the baby. (free support, woohoo) I walked 4 miles this afternoon.
Hey Ladies
Some of you remember My gram had congestive heart failure in July. Yesterday she passed away so I won't be around for a few days or so.
