Hi Desiree,
You are doing great, girl ! Keep up what you're doing and that scale will have no choice but to move for you .

Have a great day !

 

[Desiree]

Yesterday I got about 80% of all my water in for the day I also did cardio at the gym for 30 minutes.
Food choices could have been better though:
B- 2 packs of Instant Oatmeal
L- 6" subway sub on wheat with Baked Fritos
S- 1 pickle
D- (here's where I blew it).... Popeye's Fried chicken. Only ate one piece of chicken, but had 3 biscuits and several fries

Doreen and Val: Thanks for stopping by! Hope you gals have a great day!

Well Desiree it has been awhile!

Your rock partner has fallen apart, I am doing major stress eating in anticipation of a possible strike at work, but I have decided it goes on no further than today, which was a chinese buffet!

I hope everything is going well with the wedding plans. a retired employee of mine is moving to Baton Rouge to be near his daughter and he is really stressing about where to buy a house. Get this...his decision will be made based on where he can be in a Bellsouth coverage area because as a retiree his phone bill will be free. Isn't that funny? It is not hard around here because most everywhere is Bell, but I guess there are just a ton of companies down there!

Well gotta go,

Dax

Yesterday's recap. Well we took our first day off from the gym. Had alog going on after work last night. I had to pick Devyn up from my ex's and then we all went to a Hot Air Balloon Festival. Had alot of fun (until my camera's batteries went out!). Got most of my water in yesterday and I had 2 beer (light, of course), which I'm also trying to lay off of comepletely. That was my treat for the week for going to the gym every single day.

Scale says I'm down a pound. Which is more than I was expecting. It seems really hard to get a jump start on that scale when you first start! But I'll take anything at this point. Maybe now I'll never see 190 ever again (hoping!)
B- Banana
Snack - Apple
L - Small personal Pizza
D- Small order of jambalaya & 2 beer

I've been doing good at not doing any bad snacking so far so I guess I can roll the cheat free bear over again! (Let's hope the no snacking rule still applies come football season!)


Dax... I'm sorry to hear about the stress your under right now. Gosh I know all about stress eating. You sound ready to get back on track though and I'm sure you'll weather through this storm just fine. If your friend has general areas of interest that he's looking at I can give him an insiders perspective of which of them is good and which is not so good. I know alot of people here do use BS, in fact, we use it here at the house for our phone company. Just let me know if you need any help with that!!

Hi Desiree- Thanks for stopping by my journal. I also make much better choices when I journal regularly. My WISH buddies keep me in check.
You are doing great- keep up the good work.
Mary

 

[Desiree]

Thanks for stopping by Mary and thanks for the encouragement!!!!

Ok I wanted to add today that I took my measurements finally. Not ready to post them, but at least I know where I'm at.

 

[Desiree]

Well I reached a mini-goal today! I hit 300 calories burned before my 30 minutes were up and before my cool down period started! YAY!!!

I'm actually going back to the gym in a bit. I wont push myself as hard on the machines as I did earlier, but we also need to do weights too. So I may take a leisurly stroll around the track while Chris does his jogging thing and while Devyn does her swimming thing.

SO I'm doing the happy dance!!! YAY!!

 

[wilderness01]

Have a great weekend.

 

[Princess Michelle]

Congratulations on reaching your mini-goal, Des!!! Woo Hoo!

 

[Desiree]

Thanks for stopping by Princess Michelle!

I managed to get back to the gym and did another 35 on the cardio and 30 with the weights. Here's the food:

B- Banana
L- Caesar Salad
D- Spaghetti

Got all my water in today too! Wooohoo!

 

[toystoryduo]

Hey Des,
Sounds like yesterday was a great day! Keep up the good work!!

Have a wonderful Sunday,
Tracy

 

[Desiree]

I ate "heavy" yesterday. But all in all it wasn't bad and I didn't snack

B- Pancakes & 1/2 omlette
L- Breaded chicken nuggets
S- pickle
D- Meatloaf, green beans and small portion of mac & cheese

& Got my 35 minutes of cardio on yesterday too.

 

[Desiree]

Well I skipped the gym yesterday but I'll head back today. It was a very stressful day with school starting back and I ended up having to take the day off to get Devyn's bussing issues straightened out. But I didn't cheat at all!

B- Small bowl of cereal
S- Banana
L- Boiled Shrimp, corn on the cob & boiled potato
D- Spaghetti

I'm down 2 pounds total. ( I cheated and looked at the scale)

 

[vald1977]

Hi Dessiree,
I can't believe it's already time for back to school. This summer flew by didn't it? I guess that's okay since it gets us both closer to Disney (and you to your wedding) .

WTG on the 2 pounds ! That is great! Keep it up and you'll see you first goal in no time .

Wishing you a fantastic day !

 

[Desiree]

Thanks Val!

Well I didn't make it to the gym last night. Dev had a good bit of homework and so did I! I also went by our local community college. I'm thinking of taking some classes this spring. Gotta get past the wedding stuff first!

Here's the rundown.
B- skipped! Whoops! Forgot my banana at home!
L- Catfish fillets
D-3 small slices of pizza

I managed only 64 oz. of my water in so I've got to do better on that today.

 

[DoeWDW]

Desiree, it looks like you're focused on your healthy living. You're working hard to get your exercise in and to eat right. I am a little worried that you're not eating enough....have you put your food into Fitday to make sure you're getting enough calories?? You shouldn't go below 1,200, OK?

Congrats on losing 2 pounds! Those smaller successes will keep adding up to bigger successes!

I'm sending to help you have a good day!

 

[Desiree]

Doreen, I haven't been putting it in fitday. I've been forgetting! Thanks for reminding me that I need to. I have been eating until I feel full and then pushing the plate away.

 

[Desiree]

Well didn't eat as good yesterday, but I didn't snack again!

B- Banana
L- Catfish fillets
D-Pizza and cheesesticks

I did get to the gym and did both my cardio and weights in. My pants are fitting a bit better so that's a good thing, right?! Oh, also got my water in too.

 

[toystoryduo]

Hey girl!
You are doing a great job! Keep up the good work!
Have a happy and healthy Friday!

Well I didn't make it to the gym last night. I was asleep by 8:00 pm! I guess I needed sleep more! I am going tonight though. Food choices weren't the best in the world yesterday, but we were trying to get rid of leftovers last night.

B- Banana
L- Subway 6" on wheat & Baked doritos
D- Leftover pizza
