Hello!!!


Well girls....today is the day I get myself back on the wagon full out!!!

Had a Myoplex protein shake for breakfast, took my vitamins and supplement and have had quite a bit of water already!!

The treadmill is going to see some action today!!! I'll throw on my home-made 'Chick CD' and will stay on until the whole CD is done!!!

It's a bit past when I should have eaten something again so off I go!!

Will post later!!

PS - Today is cardio, tomorrow therefore will be weight training!!! THAT is the VERY BEST THING TO DO!!!!

Everyone posting is very motivating - thank you.

Thanks for posting food journals, and recipes - love the hummas w/ Tuna!! I'm trying to wean off of miracle/mayo - but I've been eating a lot of cole slaw (i have very few veggies I'll eat!)

Last night, I fell off the wagon - and no excercise - dh brought home chinese I forced myself, with every bite knowing Chinese food adds 3# - truly a scientific study was done - I bought the book... its where I found a fabulous recipe for pork tenderloin!!

I have been drinking app 100 oz of water - or until I pee clear!!! that was an indicator the nutritionist I once had told us about how much water to drink!!

WELCOME WELCOME to everyone!!!

celery I wanted to add something, or comment, but *I* forgot now!! oops

Working in the computer lab trying to teach the students (6,7 8 graders) to use iphoto!!! BUT do you think the school that i've taught in for 10 years would give me a password for THIS year??? eesh!! Today I emailed the superintendent... hopefully I'll have a password by the end of next year!!

Afternoon Ladies!!!

Well I woke up this morning and said ok day2 lets go!! Got outta bed ran some errands and then had breakfast:

special k ceral with 2/3 cup of skim milk (Dairy yeah!) and a half of banana

and then since it looks like its going to pour here i quickly pack me and DD up and off to the park for my walk with I said goal wise i would do a mile a day!!

BOO YA Did another 3.6 miles like yesterday and it was a breeze it took me a total of 27 mins. I think it goes by much faster then the treadmill dont know what i am going to do when it gets colder. Came home and had a light lunch

(everythinkg is sliced thin) so I had 1/2 oz of the following: chicken, munster cheese, and genoa salami. I rolled them up and had two little rollups with a granny smith apple. Im working on my bottle of water which is 24 oz ill finsih by 3 i promise and refill for the second on to be done by dinner! and then the other half after dinner!

Ok im going to make a snack with a slice of bread and peanut butter

so the calorie count so far for the day is 560 so dinner and afternoon snack i've got some more calorie stuff to spare.

Well talk to later ladies!!

I EXCERCISED!!!!!! ...........I KNOW!!!

I told you it was a free class, right????
It totally ROCKS! I cannot tell you how much fun it was! It's 3 days a week of bum-kicking cardio and hand weights ETC. By "ETC", I mean Pilates Ball, pilates ring, jump rope, step-thingy. That's all more to come. Today was cardio and hand wts.. I am DED!

Last night I did end up getting in my total of 8- 12 oz. glasses of water. I TRICKED myself by using my fancy goblet with crushed ice...(it was STILL only water though!)


TODAY, I drank at least 32 oz. during aerobics alone...I ROCK! I just wanted to share because that is TWO habits I needed for success. Exercise and water. I am proud!

 

[aries1980]

AWESOME JOB UM!! You go Girl!!

Keep up the Good Work!!!

 

[UtahMama]

Our Numbers are HUGE! I wont EVEN name the whole list...Hopefully we'll all stick to it!



Cuz you are the wind beneath my wings... (I JUST thought of that on my own out of the clear blue sky!)


Now, go drink some water!

 

[Minnie]

This thread is totally awesome - so up beat

B - Turkey sausage quiche (bottle diet dew)
L - Grilled chicken and salad (can diet dew)

I bought a bottle of flavored carbonated water - does that count as part of the water

D - I put a turkey roast/veggies in the crockpot to have this evening before DS's chior concert. I also have a major assignment due today for my class. Arrrrrgh likely no time for exercise

 

[aries1980]

As promised I finished my water an hour earlier then expected so off to refill and finsih the second half of my water intact by bedtime now!!


Um since our numbers are growing we should have a mascot for this thread!! How many of us are there because I just started to make a little something for everyone and wasnt going to get addy untill they are done but would like to know a count and ill keep making more until i get everyone.

You can try just eating 6 very small portions throughout the day. Spacing them out some and not trying to eat 3 full meals.

This is the hardest part of the day for me. I want to eat, and snack and eat some more.

I have had lots of water already. 8 glasses. Maybe I'll have a glass of diet coke (sorry um, that's all I have it was free last week at the grocery store)with crushed ice, so I think I'm eating.

Lunch was chicken on a salad. I like to make my own dressing. I found good seasoning packets work well on the SB plan. I just added olive oil and Balsamic vinegar and it tastes very good. Low carbs and only 1 gram of sugar in the packet. I'm usually a ranch girl, but I can't stomach the mayo anymore. That's a good thing right?

So, I boiled my chicken breasts for the salad, I cook for two. When I do this so does DH. He has no choice, he doesn't cook. I used the chicken stock and made a very good veggie soup. That's for dinner with the rest of the chicken we didn't eat at lunch and maybe steamed vegetables.

Are you other SBer's using your beans? Drinking your milk?

I even took a multi vitamin today. Hardly ever do that.

Just sharing here has settled my cravings. Whoa.

Hey ALL!


I'm jumping on board with y'all. I've been watching what I eat for the last 2 months and have successfully lost 7 pounds. 2 years ago I did Atkins and lost about 30 and while I've been able to keep it off, Atkins is NOT a healthy diet for me. This is my typical day.

Breakfast:
1 cup Kashi Cinnamon Squares cereal
1/2 cup skim milk
1 small-medium banana

Mid-morning snack:
1 cup cottage cheese
1 medium apple

Lunch:
2 slices whole wheat bread
6 oz. lean meat (turkey/chicken/ham)
2 large leaves of romaine lettuce
1 slice tomato
1 tsp light mayo
1 stick string cheese
6 triscuits
1 diet pepsi

Dinner:
6 oz. chicken breast
1 cup green veggies (broccoli/green beans/peas)
1/2 cup cooked brown rice

Dessert:
1 medium apple with cinnamon

WATER:
20 oz. water between 6-10 am
20 oz. water between 10-2 pm
20 oz. water between 2-6 pm
20 oz. water between 6-10pm

EXERCISE:

30 minutes (minimum) on the treadmill or outside everyday
Tuesday: Upper body weight training & Abs
Thursday: Legs and Arms weight training & Abs


My DH is training for a body building contest in July 07 so he has been a great "partner" to work out with and keep me motivated. (Plus I get the added bonus of getting advice from his trainer for free!)

If your looking for a website to track what you are eating try fitday.com We've both used it for the last few months and find it very helpful. They have a ton of food pre-loaded to choose or you can enter your own items. You can also track your exercise there as well. Check it out.

Are you other SBer's using your beans?

The only possible way that I can get beans down is by making the chocolate black bean cake. Thanks for the reminder I need to get one of those made

 

[UtahMama]

Spongie!!!! SOOO happy to have you! (She's my real life friend, in case you wonder why I'm so chatty with her )

Do you eat off your kids plates blindly like I do? That's one habbit I am gonna break!!! Did you just laugh and say, "They dont LEAVE anything for me to pick at!" LOL

So I'm no nutritionist, but you need to eat. Whatever you think is best for your body (the 3 meals, 2 snacks thing or every 2 hours thing???) I think that'll be a big improvement. And join me at the free church aerobics class 3x a week...I think that's about it. BUT we've pretty much all agreed NOT to eat after 7:00 (or was it 7:30) at all! SO, eat at 6:55! J/K! (but I betcha I WILL!)
Unless you work some funky hours at your jobs.


TO EVERYONE IN GENERAL ...NO ONE IN PARTICULAR: (because I'll totally accidentally leave someone out!)

I'm making a DISappearing Peeps LIST... I'll update it accordingly. I cant wait to meet the new people I dont know! WELCOME guys!!!

WE DO NEED A MASCOT, though. Disney-ish? A carb?(Just kidding! It's Petey-Pretzel! lol!) I had thought of someone like Plutopants the Viking Pluto but NOT him...he's the Maestrom thread mascot. What about Minnie becasue it ryhmes with skinny? And she's technically a 'protein" (I KILL myself!) ????

FRIDAY is weigh IN!!!!!

You kill me, too, UM....a protein.....now that's funny!!

Found a couple of cute Skinnie Minnie graphics but are we talking about a real mascot like Plutopants? That would be great too. Going out to dinner for a birthday celebration tonight. This will be the true test.....
