4/13 Hot or What Not

[Kim1964]

Happy Sunday! Happy Day 7...WOOHOO, a week of living healthy .

I'm thinking that maybe this should be a weekly thread instead of daily, as postings have dropped off a lot since we started this last week. What do you think?

Today I'm going to do Levels 1 and 2 of The Biggest Loser Power Sculpt, and then run 3 miles or so. I taped a Samantha Brown Disney show Friday night, so I will watch that while I run. I'll post food later.

Have a healthy day!

It's just me and you, babe.

So yes, weekly is the way to go. It's not that hard to edit my posts, so I can still keep the daily food journal.

I'm doing really good. I really wanted a snack last night, I was up late. I pulled out a yummy Mrs See's chocolate to eat and then remember I already had bad calories when I ate that pizza and I was going to eat it again today as leftovers, so I put the chocolate back.
I baked cupcakes Friday and I haven't snacked on them since. Although I do think I forgot to add the one I did eat to my calories that day. Better go fix that.

I'm doing great at the food stuff. It's the lazy dazy me that is messing up my exercising. I haven't looked at that DVD since the first time I used it. I had better get on the ball ( ) or my DH will pretty made that I wasted money.


Food Journal.
Breakfast - Granola bar 150 calories, coffee 45 (I'm drinking alot of it today, grey days make me sleepy)
Lunch - leftover pizza 210 calories 1/2 bottle of soda 90 calories
Dinner - the chicken pasta from Pizza Hut, I can't find any nutritional information on-line so I'm going with 300 calories, one breadstick 150 calories, 1/2 bottle of soda 90 calories

Total 940

I didn't mean to fall off last week. I was sick for a couple of days and then just didn't get back in the groove.

Yesterday I snacked and snacked after dinner - pop tarts and popcorn - that was the snack not the dinner.

Anyway, I will get back to it this week.

I want to join, but we're going out of town, so I'll start when I get back!

Are you feeling better today Susie?

Are you feeling better today Susie?

Thanks

I feel tons better. It took several days to shake it and I got behind on everything - at least I feel ike it.

 

[AlexWyattMommy]

I'm glad you are better.

I feel like the falling behind part all the time.

So I had better get off this computer and go do some work.

well today was my weigh in day at weight watchers. (let me just say that last week was my sons 6th b.day - so we went out to eat a few times last week - chilies, red robin, olive garden - i think i did manage to squeeze in a mcdonalds salad one day for lunch) so needless to say i had no hopes of lossing weight this week - BUT WAS PRESENTLY SURPRISED WHEN I MANTAINED!!!! I said "are you sure i didnt gain 4 lbs this week?"
SO i was very happy with that! so that makes 35.4 lbs lost since November!! (without exercise) _ just changed the way i eat. Now with the spring weather - i will be walking at the track - but I am not a real big exercise person!
have a good - and heathly week!

I'm still here doing my exercises....

I found a 30 minute routine and each week for 3 weeks you add an area to work.. I found it in FIRST magazine..and I never buy magazines but this one intrigued me...
This week it's.. blast stubborn belly fat

Walk 5 mins to warm up
Do 15 steam engines on each side: feet hip-width apart; place hands behind head like for sit ups; raise one knee to hip height & twist your opposite elbow toward the lifted leg, return to starting positions... repeat alternating sides
Walk 10 minutes
Do 15 steam engines on each side
Walk 5 minutes
Do 1 min. of reed bends: feet hip-width apart...clasp hands together overhead-arms straight and slowly bend to one side like a blade of grass blowing in the wind...hold for 5 deep breaths and uses your obliques to lift yourself back up to sthe starting positions....alternate sides...
this should be a 30 minute toning time exercies...

Sounds pretty good for week 1...
I thought I'd do this twice a day.. it should be pretty easy to work into my routine here at the house.. once in the morning while DD is getting ready & once in the evening while kids are at their practices....

I picked that up at the grocery store the other night and just finally looked it. I can do that. I'll look even more like a dork on my driveway, but hey, never said I was "normal".

Too bad all that food looks bad for you. I may try the sunflower seeds though. I like those. They'd be good on the my salad instead of almonds next week.

I picked up a copy of First today and thumbed through it.

I plan on starting the toning in the AM.

I will take it with me to read in MD offices tomorrow.

I have not snacked today. Yeah me. I have had 32 oz of water so far. I will have another at dinner.

I haven't weighed since last week - Will do in AM>
