Happy Birthday, Judy! Wishing you a rainbow, sweetie!

My breakfast was a slice of low fat turkey (1) on a lite english muffin (1) (high fiber and protein in one meal) with lots of water and coffee with a tiny bit of sugar free flavored creamer and sweet and low. YUMMY!

Well, I wasn't as disciplined tonight as I should have been, but not bad considering the food was so much better than the typical rubber chicken dinner.
spinach salad (tiny) (1)
taste of cream of asparagus soup (2)
chicken in phyllo dough (no stuffing), little gravy (7)
broccoli (0)
tastes of chocolate mousse dessert (3)
macaroon cookie (1.5)
taste of olive bread (1)
tastes of grilled chicken DH brought home from band banquet (3)

15.5 points for dinner + another 3 at home! OUCH! Thank God for flex points. This was one of the meals I was budgeting for. I have another on Saturday and one on Sunday. When you think of it, though, there are 35 meals in a week including snacks and desserts. 3 difficult meals is not that much to survive in the greater scheme of things. Just have to make sure the very next meal is on plan, right?

Congrats on getting in all that water, Jen!

Good morning everyone.

Welcome newcomers

Happy Birthday Judy

Here I am on day 5. Day 4 was not too bad. I got my water in, ate below my calories and got in 60 minutes of execise. Who could ask for more.

This morning I did 35 minutes of pilates

Cam I am preparing for a race. I just started walking again this past September. I have had two different sets of bone spurs in the last 8 years. The 2nd set were the worst because they were on the achilles tendon and there is not much they can do. You just have to wait for the tendons to get used to the spurs. My feet started feeling better last summer. My trip to DW last AUg was the best I had had in a long time so for Christmas my present was a treadmill. I wanted to prepare for the 07 DW marathon but financially I don't think we could swing it since my son is going off to college in Sept. So I came up with a plan to get me to the 08 DW half marathon. I am planning to do the 07 Jersey SHore Half marathon next April. If I can do this I can prove to my husband that I can do the DW half marathon the following Jan. (My sister and her husband told the family that they were going to do the DW half biut they didn't follow through and my husband remembers this)

Well everyone have a great day. Hope it goes well for everyone.

One day down - 99 to go!

My challenge for myself today is Water - Icy cold water!

Keep it up everyone!!!!

 

[disneyfanz04]

Yesterday was a good day, even though I didn't get to eat dinner until almost 10:00pm. I was running around with the kids so much that I forgot to eat, so last night I had a huge chicken ceasar salad. It was so good!!!!! I did stay on track for points, and I have to have a good day today because WI is tomorrow. Keep up the good work eveyone!!!

Day #2 down just 98 to go!!!!

 

[Honeibee]

Greetings all! Thank you so much for the birthday wishes!

I've been giving some thought to what "Cheat Free" means to me. So far this is what I have....

- To stay within my WW Points range
- To take my multi-vitamin every day
- To strive to drink 100oz of water a day (Or at least get close)
- To train five days a week
- To have only my occasional planned-on treat

That's what my Hundred Days will mean to me.

How's that sound?

Coincidentally, these hundred days will bring me right up to my WDW vacation in Sept!

3 out of 3 whoohoo

Last night I ended up with a bag of microwave popcorn as a snack which is only 100 calories. This is not really part of SBD but it works for me.

Then dinner was 3 strips of the parm chicken, small portion of ww noodles/sauce, and small portion of corn.

I still did not exercise which I have to find a way to get in. I wasn't feeling the best so I used that as an excuse.

Hopefully I will get something in this weekend.

Today is a girls out lunch so I hope to stick with the plan somehow

The weekend is always difficult so please that I make it through.

Cam - I like how your ww plan allows you to buget in days where the best choices might not be available. SBD doesn't have that option. You are either on or off plan with that one.

Judy -

 

[keenercam]

Great job, everyone!

Judy -- Your plan sounds very ambitious. Are you one of those overachiever types?

YUM -- chicken caesar salad! Love it, Michelle! DH made me a huge salad for lunch yesterday with lots of grilled chicken on it. It was so good!

Today for lunch I have a HUGE bowl of cooked broccoli that I dumped 2 ww meals on top of -- they are the garlic broccoli chicken "truth about carbs" meals (3 pts each). So, my lunch is huge and flavorful and only 6 points after another 2 point breakfast.

Minnie -- the flexibility is what keeps me sticking to WW and coming back to it whenever I lapse. I think the core plan may be leaning toward a SBD approach, but I haven't put the effort into educating myself on that plan yet so that I could try it. Maybe someday. Good luck on your girls lunch!

A friend and I are going to PFChangs tomorrow for lunch so I am budgeting for lettuce wraps and the eggplant dish. Tomorrow night we are going to Bugaboo Creek for DH to do a carb load before his marathon on Sunday, so I am going to have to really strategize on what to eat there -- I had thought we'd go on Sunday to celebrate and I'd have that day's allotment of points, but DH wants to go tomorrow, so I will have to re-think the situation. Thank God for flexpoints.

Another problem is DS is singing the National Anthem at a baseball game tomorrow night, and stadium food, especially pretzels are a big temptation. I will ask DH to get me a diet coke and not let me near the concession stand.

I know weekends are rough for everyone, so here's some to WISH you all 3 more cheat free days!

 

[goldcupmom]

Sounds like you have a busy weekend planned, Cam! You can do it!!

I stayed OP yesterday - potluck wasn't a temptation. I had a bit of salad w/o dressing, a 2x2x1 square of mac/cheese baked, and about a 2x2x2 of white cake - the chocolate would have made me want more. I had 6 glasses of water - probably 8 oz each, and stood for 3 hours of boredom. Oh well....

Good luck with the weekend everyone!

Cam, you can live w/o the pretzels (but they're really a temptation - especially w/ mustard & cheese!)

4 days done!! 96 to go!

 

[keenercam]

Awesome, Julie! What did you end up taking for the entree? I am so impressed with how disciplined you were, limiting your choices and the amounts.

 

[goldcupmom]

I took DD's fav chicken alfredo from Sam's - quick & easy, and it's fairly lowfat for being alfredo. She actually got some, too! And I saved a bit at home for her just in case, but DS19 ate it.

The choices were NOT good - tons of fried chicken, enchiladas, pizza, lasagna for entrees. Sides were Rice & refried beans by the gallons, chips, cheese, about 500 dinner rolls, tortillas(which were probably homemade, but...), Mac & cheese by the gallon. Not a fruit dish to be seen, no jello things, nothing you typically see at Pot Lucks. There were 2 salads from the local pizza place, and I think DD & I were about the only ones to eat any. Everything was high fat, high carb. For under 100 people they had FOUR full sheet cakes and 3 huge tubs of chocolate chip cookies (all of which were eaten).

OMG! You really did well avoiding all that, Julie! There are many things there that would have been terribly tempting for me. Glad DD got alfredo at the dinner since the stash at home was found! I hope you have a fabulous weekend!

My manager just stopped by my office to tell me he was sorry but we weren't having a birthday cake for me today as too many people were out so we'd do it on Monday. I said that was fine, but that I would not be having any. I told him about my Hundred Days. He laughed and said it can't be done. Well, I'll show him!

BTW, my manager has SUCH a big belly I don't know how he even kisses his wife anymore.

Not that I think about that much. EWWWWWWWW!


Judy

 

[Minnie]

Judy - Just a suggestion but could you ask whoever is in charge of the cake to order an angel food cake or something such as that??? I really hate for you to have to miss out and it is so hard to not eat stuff especially when pressured for your birthday. Another idea would be to take your own special dessert to enjoy while they are having the cake. I'm not sure what is on your plan but something on plan might help. I've been there and it's tough.

 

[goldcupmom]

5 days over, 95 to go. Hope everyone has a good, on track, weekend!

 

[Blueeyes101817]

5/100 for me.
It was a bit easier today...I know this weekend will be tough, but i am planning on starting journaling my food starting monday, so maybe that will help me!

 

[donac]

5/100 for me.

This week has been a challenge and I feel good that I have kept on track. I have exercised everyday this week (since MOnday) and watched what I ate. I even went to a dinner on Wed and the movies on Friday, DaVinci Code was pure entertainment. It is not the best thing ever but it was a good suspenseful movie. My husband, son and I had a good time. We got sold out of one theater and had to go back for another showing an hour later. That worked out well. We got to eat dinner so I got a smaller popcorn than I normally would and just had water. I bought dinner at the food court and asked for it in a take out container so that when I finished half I could just close the lid and walk away. My husband thought I didn't like it. I haven't told him about the 100 days. We'll see if he notices.

Today we are going to a confirmation party and to celebrate we are going to CHarlie Brown's Steakhouse. I checked their menu the other day on line so I have plan in my head.

Good luck to everyone this weekend.

 

[TigerCheer2009]

I am so starting over just because I like the clippie. Is that vain? It is beautiful though! Thanks disneyfanz04!

Happy late birthday Honeibee!

I am actually sticking to it this time. I promise to myself that. I will:
-eat no McDonalds
-drink no juice or pop
-try to stay under 1800 calories (thank you FitDay)
-stick to healthy choices even when they are hiding and I have to look for them
-and should I fall, I will get on track as soon as I get another opportunity.
-and NO ICE CREAM!

Starting today, in 100 days it will be my birthday

 

[tommygirl79]

Another day down for me....got all my water in and I'm happy!

Today's a bit harder for me. We have a HS graduation cookout to go to for lunch and we are taking the kiddos out for supper and a movie (Over the Hedge) tonight so I gotta set a plan.

I think I'm going to try to eat something small here at the house (maybe a WW meal) and just have whatever fruits/veggies they have at the cookout and then I'll be saved up for tonight with my family.

We'll see how it goes! Good luck to the rest of you guys!!!!
