I just got back from the gym and 35 minutes of Elliptical and I wanted to report my official weigh in for the week is 202. That's a 4 pound loss! Now I know most of it is water weight though.

Y'all have a great day!

Hi Desiree!!!!!!!!!

Congrats on the loss!!!!!!! 4 pounds is GREAT!!!

:thewave:

 

[Desiree]

Thanks everyone! Onward and downward!

 

[pearlieq]

Congrats on your loss!!!! Don't sell yourself short by saying it was just water weight. You worked darn hard for it!!!

I know it can be very hard to give up refined carbs. I wouldn't feel too bad about a potato here or there--especially if you eat the skin. Potatoes are full of vitamins and fiber and are really wonderful foods. There's a big difference between that and white rice or pasta which has almost no fiber and very little nutritional value.

Hope you have a great day!!!

Just wanted to do a quick post before heading off to the gym. Did 35 minutes cardio yesterday morning, then after work my full weight training regimin.

B - Scrambled egg and sausage patty
L - 1 peach and a yogurt (I couldn't bear the thought of eating roast again for lunch!)
D - Baked Talapia and carrots
S - Fruit smoothie

Morning everyone!!

Had a really good day yesterday! I made it to the gym twice and did the elliptical for 35 minutes each time. And after dd Devyn's softball game, we went to see Batman Begins

B - 1 Scrambled egg
L - 2 small slices of roast and 1 small can of diced peaches (lite)
S - Fat Free yogurt
D - 10 breaded chicken nuggets

I didn't make it to the gym this morning, but I'll try to hit it tonight after work.

Going to try to check a few journals and then get ready for work! Hope everyone has a great day!

 

[toystoryduo]

Hey Des!

Sounds like yesterday was a good day indeed! That's great that you were able to make it to the gym twice yesterday. I bet you burned a ton of calories!

How was Batman Begins? The guys reviewing it here in the Cleveland area have said this is the best movie of the year so far.

Have a great day!

 

[rcyannacci]

Ooh- I'm going to see Batman Begins this Sat! Hope it was good.

Looks like you're doing great at the gym! Keep up the good work !!!

(BTW- I assume you guys are getting the same heat we're having here in TX...yikes!)

 

[Desiree]

Batman was AWESOME! I can't wait to go see it again! We're going and taking Devyn Saturday morning. I highly recommend it. It was very true to how Batman was/is supposed to be portrayed.

Just wanted to check in right quick before getting ready for work. I'll be able to hit some journals tomorrow, I promise!

B - Fruit smoothie
L - 1 peach and 1 yogurt
D - OOF.. Fried catfish and a handful of french fries. I ate too much fish though. I was over stuffed. I can't resist seafood.

No gym yesterday. I took the day off. I did just get back. I only managed 20 minutes though. I will be going back after work today to finish up.

Hope everyone has a great Friday!

 

[TigerCheer2009]

Hi Desi! Glad you liked Batman! Keep on keepin' on!

[Desiree]

Good morning everyone!

Just wanted to come by and show off my new clippie! 5.5 pounds lost so far!

I'll try to do a more detailed post of what's been going on this weekend later tonight after Devyn's game, going the gym and of course, work.

I hope everyone has a healthy and happy day today!

 

[pearlieq]

That's an awfully pretty new clippie you've got there! It looks great on you!!!

Keep up the good work! You can do it!

 

[Desiree]

Thanks Perlieq!!!!

Well overall this week I've done really well with the exercising. But alas, my food choices haven't been the best in the world. And my water intake has been on track too. I've got to really get cracking with the food issues I have though. I haven't been snacking, but it's really just been my meal choices. Chris has been working late this week and Monday, dd had her game. What do we end up doing? Instead of cooking a good meal, we go to Raising Cane's and eat fried chicken fingers. Yesterday after getting back from the gym, we head to Home Depot for a few things then on the way home we swing by Whataburger! Grrr! I could have easily piped up and said no that we should eat at home, or at least when I got there I should have gotten a salad. But of course, that didn't happen. On the plus side, both nights I didn't eat any french fries at least. And I guess chicken fingers and a hamburger won't kill me in the log run but I'm still a bit disappointed with myself. I have been busting my butt at the gym and I feel like I've been sabotaging myself. Maybe it's because TOM is around the corner too. But I don't want that to be an excuse either.

Sorry, vent over!

Yesterday I tried yoga for the first time! WOW. I felt so good afterward! I can't see me doing this more than once a week, but I think I will continue it. We (my mom and I) are going to try Pilates for the first time on Friday also. And yesterday morning I did my usual 35 minutes on the Elliptical but yesterday was the first time that I did the most strides ever and worked away the most calories! That's something positive right?! I really didn't feel like going yesterday but I did and boy am I glad I made it. Today however, I slept too late. But I am going tonight. I may try to start implementing some step aerobics in my work outs too. Those seem to burn alot of calories!

Well since I'm not at the gym, I'm going to go check a few journals this morning! If you made it through this long post, you deserve a fat free yogurt!!! Have a great day!

 

[goldcupmom]

You're doing FANTASTIC!!!

That new clippie looks SO good on you. Keep up the exercise and you'll get the next one very soon!

Have a great day! Now I want to go see Batman, but alas, no time. Sigh.....

 

[rcyannacci]

You were right...Batman was fantastic!

Congrats on the new clippie and the loss. It sounds like you are doing great on the exercise; I think trying new things like yoga and pilates is a wonderful idea to switch things up a bit and stay interested.

This is my new week for staying positive about food, so I say don't let a few questionable food choice get you down too much. Besides, who actually orders a salad at Whataburger?!?

Have a great week!
