[lexmelinda]

Where's DISunc, the thread hunk?

Everybody check the Pop My Jibbitz! report.....new princess born into the DISUNC family last night!! Congrats, Thread Hunk!

Yesterday.......total calories.....1335!

Coffee: I have 150 calories budgeted every morning for coffee w/whole milk
Breakfast: Nutragrain bar....140
Lunch: Lean Cuisine...Rosemary chicken with brown rice....220
Snack: Strawberry yogurt with blueberries.....150
Snack again: Salad with fat free balsamic vinag...........125

Loving the Lipton diet green tea single serve. The honey/lemon is delish and makes the water go down a lot better. Green tea is supposed to curb appetite and stimulate metabolism I heard??? Not to mention prevent a whole list of diseases/conditions.

Confession....Forgot to take my walking shoes to work. Yep. I was in a hurry to get out of the house yesterday. (Meijer had $30 off a PS2 yesterday only and had to go before work.) Promise to take them AND use them today. Have a great day. Love it....WWPD???

GOOD MORNING PEEPS!!!

Have I got your attention???

Have you noticed I talk too much, or I talk to myself??? Well since I have received a couple of replies, it does tend to encourage my habit!! So here goes today's lesson...

It is very important that you eat prior to working out for 2 basic reasons:

1) Your body needs the food to supply energy for your workout. You are at greater risk of injuring yourself and having to quit early due to lack of energy.

2) If you do not eat prior to working out, your body will burn muscle to sustain you during your workout. You want to build and tone muscle, not burn muscle.

Additionally, if you choose to workout when you first wake up -- eating when you first wake up, wakes up your metabolism and gets it functioning efficiently throughout the day.

and you may need to adjust for a pre-workout meal - maybe you would need 2 ounces protein, 1 cup carb, 1 cup fruit. (This is from a program I purchased - it does work, but it was hard to stick to it, but I did find the pre work out info invaluable, and wanted to pass it along!!)

There's also something about breathing and exercise, but I have to look for that, it all has to do with adjusting your deep breathing, and not overdoing it... it seemed so simple!!

 

[UtahMama]

Sandy! Funny girl! We love you oodles! Keep on talking!

One very funny "muscle" that hurts is my lungs! It's been since I started exercising on monday because they weren't used to being fully used! THAT's how out of shape I am! Plus every single muscle I own is sore. You guys should see me urgently have to hover then gently lower down to use the fascilities! Well, maybe you'll have to take my word for it.


One more day to tilt the scale in your favor!!!

(Or there's a little knob to adjust it yourself....MUCH easier than dieting!)

Utahmama: The c word came from the Jinks you owe me a coke thingy.

If I eat before a work out, I'll barf. I'll take my chances. Thanks for the info though.

Here's to getting through another day. Thanks for making it easier. Keep on keeping on!

OoooooH! Ok, duh, me! ((slapping forehead))

I hear ya on the barfing! I just eat a meal wayyyyy before not just before. I ate 2 eggs at 7 and my workout was at 9. But Spongie was ILL after the workout so I wonder if she had just ate???

My kids are eating cereal. I want some! Even the soggy regects would be good! Just Kidding. Sigh.

THE SCALE SAYS IT'S A GOOD DAY!!! Which I hate to admit to. It tells me if I'm going to be happy or not which is another mindset I need to adjust!

 

[TwinkieMama]

Good morning everyone!


Sandy keep talking!

I woke up feeling like I had been hit by a truck. My throat was sore and my whole body ached. Oh great I thought, I am getting the flu.

But then I remembered.

My homespun dance-n-tone workout that featured 80s music, lots of marching while hold 25lb boy, squats while holding the boy, leg lifts with said boy sitting on my legs, sit ups, and push ups (I KNOW!) so I think that I just have a cold and an out of shape mama.

I am stuggling with my water intake so I am going to work on that today.

SUISII girls!!!!! (and to our MIA thread-hunk...CONGRATS Unca DIS!!!)

 

[aries1980]

aeries thanks for the link!

Do you have anything on applebees? I ate a half portion of the grilled chicken caesar salad last night. I am guessing almost 500 calories but I can't find it anywhere.

Also the last couple of days when I have been searching for calorie information I have been getting pop up you know what. Rhymes with corn. I haven't had this problem in years... same internet filters... ??????

see if this works for you!

Ingredients

4 sprays cooking spray
4 sheet phyllo dough
1/2 cup dark brown sugar
1/4 tsp ground cloves
1 tsp ground cinnamon
1 tsp ground ginger
1 tsp cornstarch
1/8 tsp table salt
1 1/2 cup canned pumpkin, puree
1 1/2 cup fat-free evaporated milk
1/2 cup fat-free egg substitute
1 tsp vanilla extract
Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 350°F. Lightly coat a 9-inch round pie pan with cooking spray.

2. Cut phyllo sheets in half. Place 1 sheet in prepared pan and lightly coat with cooking spray. Top with another sheet of phyllo, placing corners just to the right of the previous sheet's corners. Repeat with remaining sheets to form a circle. Press layered phyllo into pan and roll in edges. Bake until lightly browned, about 10 minutes.

3. Whisk together brown sugar, spices, cornstarch and salt in a large bowl. Whisk together pumpkin, evaporated milk, egg substitute and vanilla in a medium bowl. Gradually whisk wet ingredients into dry ingredients.

4. Pour filling into crust. Bake until set, about 50 minutes. (Cover crust edges with foil during baking if they are becoming too brown.) Cool completely before cutting into 8 pieces.

oops, that's what I get for cutting and pasting, and the kids are on their way in - I have to look up the exact figure, but I believe you should eat one hour prior to working out! (or is it a half hour) You're right this took adjusting, but the science behind it made since - it was part of the program that Extreme Makeover - no wait, what the heck was the name of that program? Where people came lived, had plastic surgery, not the Swan... but anyway... the trainer on that ABC program has his own infomercial... I bought it... way hard to do, but lots of great tips!! Body Makeover.

Hush 7th graders I'm talking!!

 

[eeyore45]

See aries, that's what happens when I talk to myself!!

I also found that recipe (thought I posted it here!! lol) have you tried either of them??? I've never worked with phyllo dough, but think I may try that recipe!!

 

[aries1980]

Unfortunately I have worked with every kind of dessert imaginable I'm a Pastry Chef so its kinda of another reason i gained some more weight because I was in pastry school THE FRENCH CULINARY INSTITUTE to be precise; up until I was 9 months pregnant so tasting everything i didnt care because I was eating for two well when i went back I sorta had the same mentality and it took awhile to not eat all of it.. but Yes Phyllo dough is very easy to work with. Just take it out when you want to use it and use it when its a cold it wont tear as easy then. very simple!!

 

[aries1980]

ok Morning Ladies!! Sorry wasn't on last night went to cook everything in my fridge. So this is what I did:

Roast asparagus

Here is a "legal" pumpkin pie recipe for my fellow SBD. It is supposed to be a treat though so I'd make this a Turkey or special day treat only.

Oh and it is for Ph2 only as Ph1 has no pumpkin allowed

Individual Pumpkin Soufflés (Serves 8)

Ingredients
2 whole eggs
2 egg whites
1 1/4 cups canned pumpkin
1/4 cup Splenda
Pinch salt
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon ground allspice
1/2 teaspoon nutmeg
1 1/4 cups evaporated skim milk
1/2 tablespoon vanilla extract
Fat-free whipped topping (optional)

Instructions
Preheat oven to 300°F. Lightly spray eight 4-ounce ramekins with nonstick spray. In a medium bowl, lightly beat eggs and egg whites. Add the pumpkin and mix well. Blend in the Splenda, salt, cinnamon, evaporated milk, and vanilla. Fill each ramekin with 1/2 cup mixture. Place the ramekins in a baking dish and add enough warm water to come 2/3 of the way up the cups. Bake 40 minutes or until knife inserted in center of custard comes out clean. Remove from oven. Serve warm or room temperature, and top with fat-free whipped topping, if desired.

I’d say you could also pour this into a single pie dish instead of the individuals should you so choose. If you want to add a crust to the bottom here are a couple options:

Seriously the easiest pie crust in the world!!!!
2 ½ Cups All-Purpose Flour (King Arthur Whole White Flour)
1 Tsp. Salt
2 Sticks Unsalted Cold Butter, cut into small pcs.
¼ Cup Ice Water, plus more if needed

In the bowl of a food processor, combine flour and salt; pulse to combine. Add butter and pulse until mixture resembles coarse crumbs with some larger pcs. remaining, about 10 seconds.
With machine running, add ice water through feed tube in a slow, steady stream, just until dough holds together without being sticky. Do not process more than 30 seconds.
Turn dough out onto a clean work surface. Divide in half and place each half on a pc. of plastic wrap. Shape into flattened disks. Wrap in plastic and refrigerate at least an hour or overnight. The dough can be frozen for up to a month; thaw overnight in the refrigerator before using.

Or a nut curst:

2 C Walnuts, almonds or pecans
3 Tablespoons Splenda
2 Slightly Beaten Eggs whites

Blend nuts and sugar in a blender until nuts are finely ground. Stir together ground nut mixture and egg whites. Using spatula, press mixture on bottom and sides of 9-inch pie plate. bake at 375 for 10-12 minutes or until crust appears dry. Cook on wire rack before filling.

Good morning skinny minnies.

hinsok - I can totally see myself doing that with the crock pot. I am most often running late for everything and always multitasking while getting ready. I thought that story was funny I can relate.

i just get sick watching those reality shows like Fear Factor and survivor where they eat things that should never be eaten ( I'm getting sick just thinking about it) I dont think they could pay me enough money to eat some of the things that they eat. It is very good for the diet though.

UM and Spongie: I'm jealous of the free exercise class with babysitter. I wish I could find something like that here. Sounds like fun, especially with a friend. Keep up the good work.

Does anyone have any experience/ knowledge about curves. What is it ? ? A gym ?? A program to follow ??

I have been doing ok with the diet, trying to drink 64+ oz of water with lemon (spending lots of time on the potty) . I am really worried about scale day tomorrow. It just don't seem to be budging. I think that darn scale is broken !! I need to be more consistent with the exercise I bet that will make a difference. As Utahmama said "It's time to kick it up a notch!! ((Bam))

OK now I'm going to do my Cindy Crawford workout !!! If I'm able to walk when I'm finished I'll let you know how it goes.

Good morning skinny minnies.



Does anyone have any experience/ knowledge about curves. What is it ? ? A gym ?? A program to follow ??

I did there One week free trial and Loved it.. Im going to sign up real soon but we are trying to move so I will after that.

The dish on Curves is you go in for 1/2hour and its set up in a circle you do every station 30 secs and move on to the next station 30 secs and so on and so on... you keep going in that circle for 30mins. It so easy and goes so fast that your like WOW!! But heres the reall kicker doing that for 30 mins is like working out for an hour and a half because its like an intense workout session that doesnt feel bad at all but GREAT!! hope that helps

and the good thing to is they are popping up everywhere so you can use your membership in any of them.

I bought a little cute notebook to write down these recipes we post so I dont have to go look for them in pages gone by...there's going to be LOTS.

I had a nice cheese omelet for b-fast. I had wanted a mushroom and cheese omelete, but I didn't have any mushrooms to add. I am FULL. We'll call it "Cheese Omelet Ole`" Cuz I put some really good home made salsa on top.

I am drinking lots of water again today. Mine's now flavored with Crystal Lite and it's alot easier to get down. Store-brand Crystal Lite (Great Value at Walmart) doesnt mix as well. I've already drank 2-32 oz.! So I wont feel guilty drinking dietPuppies! (no flames )
