Hi everyone

I would love to join this thread as I really need all the accountability help I can get

I will be going to WDW from 7/8-7/15 though so I will not be participating during those days.

I started on yesterday (my 1st day back from WDW) and did well. Here's hoping for 2 out of 2

I am on day 3. I think this day is going to be tough. I have a retirement dinner to dgo to today. I had a light breakfast and will have a light lunch. I don't know what they are serving but it is at an Italian restaurant. I'm hoping to take half my main course home today and that should keep me with my calorie total for today.

Good luck Cam. Our band/choir concert was last week. Next week the jazz band will play at a local fair. That will be tough with all the great food they serve there. Well I think I will take it one day at a time.

Good luck today to everyone.

Judy -- Your breakfast wasn't too bad if (1) you eat light for lunch and dinner; or (2) you earn some activity points to help absorb some of those points (barn chores HAVE to earn you some APs); or (3) you use some flexpoints to get through the rest of the day. Don't throw this day away. Take charge of it and make it work for you. My long-time motto has been "every moment presents a new opportunity to do it right". I know our WW leader said last night that next week's topic is "a lapse does not mean a collapse" or something like that. My mentality used to be "oh well, I blew this meal so I might as well eat whatever I want for the rest of the day and start fresh tomorrow." UGH! It took a really long time to change that thought process to "Okay, I screwed that up, but I will work hard to make the rest of the day on-plan."

Not that you asked for a lecture or anything! BTW, give your sweet hubbie a HUGE hug and ask him to skip the potatoes next time!

dona -- congrats on coming up with a strategy. Good luck. Thanks to all for the reinforcement on my plan for tonight. Turns out after my 4 point breakfast, I had a garden salad for lunch with a multigrain roll and fat free sundried tomato dressing (5) and just had a lite yogurt (1). Still plenty of points left and I'll eat half of them for a lean cuisine panini before I leave work.

Hope everyone else has a strategy and determination to get through the evening cheat-free! :

Hi, Sharon! So glad you joined us! Just let me know your start date -- today? Or yesterday?

I will say that today is my start date. That will bring me to my end of August vacation at the Jersey Shore.

Today has been tough though. Last time I did SB/Low Carb I lost 40 pounds and then Easter hit. Carbs are my enemy. I hope to be successfull this time.

I made a calander and I am putting it on my fridge to mark off the days.

Thanks for doing this.

Sharon

I can't believe my strategy worked. I just totaled my calories for today and I am way under what I thought I would be and I even have 1/2 of pasta and some tilapia for lunch tomorrow.

Hope everyone else is doing okay.

 

[keenercam]

I didn't get to eat before work, but came home and made 2 quick turkey wraps on whole wheat wraps before the concert. I brought a 100 calorie pack with me for intermission and when I got home had a panini and some pretzel crisps. So, I am through day 3 and heading to bed to avoid the munchies.

 

[goldcupmom]

Great job avoiding a problem, Cam!!

I hope I can do as well tomorrow night at the choir potluck! I'm not even taking anything healthy as I had to bring a Main Dish. This is NM. DD says everyone is planning on bringing Popeyes fried chicken or KFC. YUCK!!!!! Hopefully I can find some veggies/fruit to munch!

day 3 is completed..i actually had 5 bottles of water today..im happy!

 

[donac]

Good morning. I am taking the day off from work and had a great start to the day. I did my treadmill (My fastest time an average of 16.6 min/mile) and then got to do a yoga routine. NOw time for breakfast. HOpe everyone has a great day.

 

[keenercam]

Good morning, everyone! How did last night go for you? I should have gone right to bed, but instead, started straightening the kitchen, right when DH's crispy baked fish and fries came out of the oven. I am so weak. I ended up having a bite of the corner of the fish and a few fries. I charged myself for 3 points total against my flex points allotment. I was trying to save the flex points for all other sorts of contingencies that will come up this week, but it was just 3, so plenty left. I did drink lots and lots of water.
Good job on the water, Jen! We'll encourage each other on that! Hey, you are on break from school for another week or so, right? Are you enjoying your days off? I hope you are doing something fun. I'll have to get over to your journal to catch up!

Okay, I'll try to do better today. My firm is a gold sponsor for a dinner tonight. The 60th anniversary of community legal aid. I have no idea of the menu, but one of my friends/partners who is doing WW with me and I will encourage each other to avoid the rich desserts.

Dona -- great start to your day. Awesome pace on the TM! Are you training to do any kind of race? Cause that pace is right on target! Hope you enjoy your day off.

Hi, Rhonda, sweetie! How are you? I hope your day went well yesterday!

Julie -- Have you decided on a main dish for tonight? Can I make a suggestion? One of my favorite "goes further" meals is to cut up a bunch of cooked chicken and mix it with salsa and lots of whole kernal corn for a cold salad. It is really good and pretty healthy and might give you a non-fried chicken option to eat. You can probably add all sorts of other veggies to it. Or maybe serve it in a platter with tortilla chips around the edges. Good luck!

Sharon -- How did your day one go? I think I need a calendar, too. Or maybe just a lock on the closet where I keep the pretzels! I feel as if I am fixated on them -- carb addiction much?

Okay, Judy -- I had every intention of virtual TM with you this morning but overslept. The closest I will get to working out today is the fact that I couldn't bear to put on my heels yet and am wearing my workout socks and running shoes with my dressy suit! Unfortunately, walking to and from my garage doesnt' get my heart rate up the way it used to! Walking in heels to and from the event tonight will be more of a workout!

Have a great day, everyone!

I had a really good day yesterday...until I got home from a demonstration last night and got the urge for some ice cream...I used 3 flex points for 1/2 cup of light ice cream. I have a severe weekness for ice cream in the summer. I did manage 2 1/2 hours of exercising though so...

I will do good today, I only have 2 more days to weigh in.

Good Luck everyone!!! You guys are doing great.

1 down 99 to go!!!

Day 2 is over so 2/2 on the eating by 0/2 on the exercise. I really need to work on that aspect.

Last night for dinner instead of stopping for fast food I made an egg beaters omlet with turkey sausage and light cheese. It was great tasting and filling. The turkey sausage patties were from the frozen section and a great way to lower the fat content without loosing the taste.

Tonight I hope to make parm chicken. I'll use chicken breasts and bake it with a new shake'n bake seasing pouch I found. Also plan on having sweet potato fries and green beans.

I did wake up this morning with a sore throat, itchy eyes, and stuffed head so my allergies are back at it again darn it. Hopefully I won't let this get me down and derail me from making it through the day.

Hope everyone has a great day

Am I too late to join? I'm gonna try and do the exact same thing: Write down every point I eat, drink all my water and try my darndest to eat my fruits and veggies properly.

Could you add my start date to today? I'll just be a couple of days behind everyone else but that's okay with me if it's okay with you!

Rachel

 

[keenercam]

DF04 -- good job on limiting the ice cream and journaling it. Did you have any APs you could have used from all that exercise to cover your dessert?

Minnie -- That is one of my favorite dinners -- egg beaters are a lifesaver for me. I even like them with lots of salsa and melted fat free cheese (cook the EBs first and then top them so they don't get watery). Your dinner idea for tonight sounds great. I hope you aren't getting sick. Drink juice today, lots of fluids!

Rachel -- welcome! So glad to have you here. Good luck! Is that your DD? She is adorable!

 

[tommygirl79]

Thanks keenercam! Yep...she's mine. I have a 5 year old and a 2 (almost 3) year old. That paci is GONE! We gave it up when we left WDW in January!

 

[Honeibee]

Cam - I overslept too. You'll see it in my WISH post.

I've been thinking about this 100 Days. I'd like to start Monday. This is a bad week to start so instead of getting off on the wrong foot, I'll start Monday. But until then I'll hang around with you guys and get fired up!

I'll pull out a calendar and figure out my hundred days. We are going to Italy in July so I can tell you right now I'm not counting those two weeks! although I will use discretion, it will be my first trip to Europe and I can't see myself eating salads and roasted veggies all week. Not in Italy!

I also need to outline exactly what "Cheat Free" means to me. DH wants to be in charge of my "punishment" should I cheat during these hundred days. But, ummm, I don't think so. I don't want to be cleaning out his car and mowing the lawn. Although, maybe that would be a great incentive to do the right thing.

Thanks Cam, for starting this. You're pretty amazing. I can't wait to meet you IRL.


Judy

 

[keenercam]

Rachel -- Both of your girls are so cute. And great job on the little one giving up the paci!

Judy -- Sorry this is a bad week for you. Just let us know when you are getting on board. (I know myself -- I'd spend the next 4 days eating whatever I want thinking I'd get on track Monday. I definitely cannot imagine myself having that much willpower). BTW, I think if your DH is going to punish you for cheating, he should have no say in what he cooks for you!

Okay, so far so good for me (though at work is almost NEVER my problem). I had my 2 pt breakfast and a 4 pt lunch of salad (I also have a few sugar snap peas for a snack later). I should have plenty for dinner tonight as long as I don't eat some decadent dessert.

 

[Honeibee]

Cam - What did you have for breakfast that was only two points? Sorry if I'm being nosey but I my breakfasts are always so much more.


BTW, it's not that it's a BAD week, but, ummmm.....It's my birthday.
