[Disneyland_Mama]

Whoo Hooo!! I didn't eat any Chocolate covered cherries today!

I didn't get on the scale today, but I was relatively good today. I hit the mall for my exercise today. Unfortunately I exercised my debit card more than my bum. I even walked passed Auntie Ann's without a glance. I may be on the road to recovery!

Kat: I feel your pain! DS2 smacked his head on the table back in Sept. and required 4 stitches to close his eyebrow. I know I cried more than he did. Boys he bounced back just like your little one.

Pixie Dust: I'm heading over to check out your dress and vote for ya!

Have a great night all!

Hey Skinnie Minnies. I made the finals in the red carpet dress contest. Here's the link http://www.disboards.com/showthread.php?t=1297819&page=2&pp=15. My dress is pictured. After I lose all the weight, maybe I'll actually be able to wear it! If you want to vote for my dress, I'd appreciate it!

Done!!!

 

[monymony3471]

47 rocking minutes on the treadmill.

When I was done there was no way I could eat my dinner. Exercising just supresses my appetite.

So I put it away after eating just a little.

Got 10 glasses of water in.

I had a good day. It was nice to see daylight. It was nice to walk around the campus a little.

I started out at a University that is in the downtown area. So I don't have a huge commute, I'm taking courses at the local community college and eventually I'll transfer my credits and finish up at WSU. (That's Wayne State University) It's where Casey Casum went to school.

Nice to see some self control here. Great jobs everyone.

Tomorrow is Wednesday and then it's 2 days to weigh in!

I challenge no cheating for the next 2 days. Make it count!

 

[pixie dust 112]

thanks everybody!

 

[Backstage_Gal]

I voted for you, Pixie!

 

[pixie dust 112]

Thanks for all your votes! Right now I'm down by 8, and am in third place. The winner gets three tag wishes with the tag genie. My Neice is 12 and erased her tag by mistake! I really want to get it back for her!

 

[pixie dust 112]

Ok guys..I just had about 4 teaspoons of Sweet Black Cherry Ice Cream.... that counts as a fruit, right? Good news is because I'm on this thread thought WWPD (although I can't remember what that stands for, I know it's important and inspirational)..and I didn't eat the whole pint, which is what I would normally do!! for me !

 

[UtahMama]

Pixie! It's "What would Peeps do?"

I wouldn't ask that these days though! I'll TELL you what they'd DO...they'd go ahead and eat it claiming it's healthy!!!!

Everyone- Had the neatest youth activity tonight! We told the kids (aged 12-17) we were gong caroling...we did! But, at each of the homes we visited we had arranged for them to turn us away. One was trying to put her baby to bed, one was just leaving, one was too busy to listen, you get the picture. The leaders (me among them) we to stir the pot as we left each house by saying stuff like, "Geez, they could have at least let us finish our song...." and "Gosh, that was rude!" (stuff like that) at the end we met at a real stable with real animals and a nice fire. We asked the kids how they felt to be turned away from each house we visited. As it dawned on them that we had arranged the whole thing...they got to experience what Joseph and Mary had experienced (a slight fraction but still an object lesson) by being turned away. We ended up with spiced cider and hot chocolate and my homemade chocolate chip cookies ((DONT ask!)) singing XMas songs (including "Santa Baby"!) It was a great experience! I had to bring my kids who were pre-threatened to behave like angels and they did!

 

[mousehouselover]

A hot a sweaty PEEP here...just finished 40mins on the TM.

I drank 4 liters of water again today. I don't think I've peed so much in my entire life.

It's DH's b-day and I wound up taking him out to dinner. I hadn't planned on going out but DH felt terrible and that's what he wanted. We wound up at a really yummy Italian place, and all in all, I didn't do too bad. We had something called costini; it was Italian bread brushed with olive oil, sprinkled with Italian spices and layered with sliced tomatoes and mozzerella cheese before being toasted in the oven. My dinner was Eggplant ala Diane, not sure what that means exactly but it was like parmgiana, with out marinara, just chopped tomatoes over spaghetti. We did share a piece of tiramisu and a scoop of spumoni.

I'm startng to think I don't have the motivation to lose weight. My will power is pretty weak and I'm not 'feeling' it. The last time I did this, I was gung ho about eating right and getting my exercise whenever possible. I'm doing small things like walking the 2 blocks to the dentist and eating more veggies but I'm really feeling like it's more punishment than a llifestyle change that's good for me. Of course, this may just be PMS talking... I expected AF today and she didn't come so I'm a bit frustrated. My chest is achy and swollen, I'm tired and I know I'm not pg so I just want to get this over with. I'm also getting anxious for the holidays. I suppose I should just chalk this up to being cranky.

Mony~ Congrats to going back to school. I'm too big of a chicken to do it.

Pixie~ Good luck with the contest. I voted for you.

Disneyland_mama~ way to fight off those crazy choc covered cherries and mall snacks....LOL

spongie~ Sorry to hear about your 'puter problems, hopefully your DH can fix it.

Bee~ you are such a funny and positive persson. It's been nice having you here.

Twinkie~ I'll buy carrot cake as a veggie, but the frosting is a huge stretch.

UM~ Chocolate.......yummy...bad......yummy....bad..... I guess I'm a bit conflicted today. I had 2 bites of a turtle brownie at lunch and felt really proud of myself for just having a tiny bit but now I'm feeling guilty... more conflict. Guess I'll have to get some broccoli and mushrooms. No butter, no cheese, no Chinese sauces......

well, it's 11:30 and I have a few more things to do before bed. Catch y'all tomorrow.

I love this idea! I may have to borrow it! We are having a lock-out (up all night) with our jr. high kids, HHMMM this maybe a good activity!

Pixie - You look marvelous in your dress - eat a whole quart of ice cream if you want!

As far as what I ate today - I am pleading the fifth. I did, however, pass on the roll at lunch

 

[S.Poppins]

Lot's to read while eating my salad with chicken on it. It's so good. Yum Yum, I'm not board with eating this for lunch everyday because it's so good for me.

That didn't sound too forced did it?

Ok, I did it. I really did it. I almost did it in the fall, but too many excuses and I didn't. So, now, it's in the works. I'm in.

I registered for school and I'm back in business!

Working my way to be a Special Education Teacher. Wow, I finally did it and I'm all giddy inside.

I quite the day care 3 years ago to do it. Got rid of all my stuff and 2 months later found out I was pregnant. So, it got put on hold for a bit. A bit is over and now i'm returning to school. So, not to jinx anything, I'm not quitting daycare and I'll do it all at the same time. Plus I need to be here for Mal.

Yea me!
Breakfast: eggs and mushrooms,
am snack: cheese stick
I will do the tread mill after work. Halfway to go with water.

Can anyone tell me how we burn fat. How many cals do you burn while burning fat. Etc. I think someone here knows cause she said she reads about this stuff all the time and why is she overweight when she knows all she does? I hope that didn't sound offensive, I was just reitterating what I read.

Thanks!

PS. UM. I was a late night eater all the time. My trick was going to bed earlier or when the munches came I called it a night.

Congratulations on going back to school! I taught spec. ed for 5 years. I quit to stay home with my second child and help my husband. Then about 6 years ago I began working in children's ministry at my church and about 3 years ago I started running the childcare center and private school. In May, I bit the bullet and enrolled in grad school to get my Masters in early childhood education. It has been tough - work, school, family, ministry. But I know it will be worth it. You just have to prioritize - like it is okay that we retrieve clothes out of the basket or dryer instead of the closets - right?! And why make beds, unless company is coming! Best wishes!

 

[dwheatl]

Boohoo. I had a big old post written and I lost it. The upshot is, I worked out on the elliptical for 35 minutes, but when I weighed at the gym, my weight was up. On the way home from the grocery store, I binged on soy chips because I was mad that my weight was up when I've tried so hard. Overall, my calories weren't bad today, but I'm mad at myself for eating in response to frustration.

PD-I voted for you.

Mony-Great job on enrolling in school.

MHL-Hang in there. We're behind you all the way. don't let the her-mones bring you down.

Let's all keep slimmin'.

 

[dismom9761]

Well it is 2:00 am here but I wanted to read what everyone had written today.Hope I don't forget anyone ....

dwheatl-don't beat yourself up for eating out of frustration.At least yoy recognize it for what it is and it may help you next time.Don't give up !!

MHL-I hope you get to feeling better.I am right in the middle of AF(as you called it)and it has definitely not helped my dieting and mood.Baby steps....

UM-I love that activity! I will definitely have to remember that one.

Pixie dust-Sweet Black Cherry Ice Cream..hmmm sounds like a fruit to me.Now I am the one that considers mac n cheese to be a veggie.....

Mony mony-it is awesome that you have enrolled in school.I am so proud of you!!

Kat-I am glad that your son is feeling better.My oldest son hit my DS9 with a baseball bat when he was three and it knocked him out(just for a sec) and cracked his skull.He also had stiches and he loves telling people about his scar.

I had an okay day though I didn't get to exercise.I had to pick up my DS9(peyton)early because he didn't feel well,run a few errands,company for dinner,and wrapped for about three hours.I have lost two gifts-both Harleygirls!!
My eating was okay I think I was under my calories but I haven't counted them.I have another session with the personal trainer tomorrow and I will pass on any helpful tips.
Well it sounds like Peyton needs another treatment...everyone have a succesful Tuesday...

 

[BONITATIME]

Good Morning

UM-That was really neat idea, It is always better to get them to feel things rather than tell young people bout things.

Pixie dust- I voted for you. It is lovely what you want to do for your niece.

I was good about eating yesterday even if the only thing resembling excersise was 18 sit ups. I plan to try to do one more each day and then I will have that flat tummy we all dream about. I am not 100 porcent convinced after 2 children it is possible but I am trying.

 

[lexmelinda]

GOOD MORNING, SKINNY MINNIES!!!

Come on, peeps....junk food is junk food. Sugar cane is technically a vegetable since it is grown and harvested and for that matter so is cocoa, wheat, potatoes, rice, etc. These are evil vegetables. Stay away from their seductive lure. Just say no!

Monica....way to go on the schooling! And I accept your challenge to not cheat for the next 2 days.....here I go....not cheating.

Nikki....flat stomach, possible....cute belly button, not possible...for me at least. That third pregnancy did me in.

Pixie....voted for ya! I really did love your dress.

UM.....passing along the caroling idea to our youth minister who is actually having a caroling party at his house on Sunday! Thanks! Way to go with "pre-threatening" your kids...I do that, too.

MHlover....Don't lose hope!! It's the hormones talkin....hang in there.

YESTERDAY....
Calories.....ok. I did the math last night on all the brunch food and I think I'm good. UM...here is something to top broccoli retribution. I had a bowl (2 servings) of extra fiber all bran with skim milk and 2 tablespoons of flax seed...30 grams of fiber and only 250 calories. Roto Rooter, indeed.
Late Eating....last bite at 5:30...tempted with zombie bite of cheese party pizza and held my ground.
Water and Exercise.....no good. Getting three kids to school and carrying 3 casseroles to the car for the brunch...I forgot my walking shoes and my water bottle. I'll be back on track today but won't make my exercise quota for the week.

HAVE A GREAT DAY, EVERYONE!!!!

 

[monymony3471]

Thanks to everyone for the good vibes. Although I am so excited for my decision in the back of my head I was wondering how I was going to pull this off. Especially when Tim travels.

I will just have to figure a way right? This is when you start asking for help, which I am so not accustomed to.

Leaving clothes in the baskets, and leave beds unmade, I do that already! Sometimes.

Stepping back on my soapbox:

Dieting or changing your lifestyle is an everyday effort. Not Monday through Friday.

Like lexy said, stay away from the evil foods! Don't buy them. Your family will benefit from healthy foods and snacks too.

If you have to have a frozen treat every now and then, buy a sugar free fudge pop.

I buy the dannon carb control yogurts. They are pre-packaged as individual servings, vanilla flavored. I also have sugar free puddings mixes. If you sprinkle some of the powder of your favorite flavor into the yogurt, it really makes a great sweet treat. The chocolate is great and so is the pistashcio.

It also works with fresh berries.

Remember why you are here, it's not only for entertainment. I look at it as a fun way to do something we all dread. Laughing is an exercise right?

Keep on Keepin' on!

Good morning everyone. It's great to see how popular this thread has become. Even though I don't post as much as I'd like to, I love reading what everyone else is going through and it helps me get through the tough times.

I'm starting to get better at not going back for seconds. That used to be a big problem for me. I'd eat it just because there was food left whether I was actually hungry or not.

Yesterday I was really bad with water. Just one glass of crystal lite. Its so much easier to get my water in when I'm at work (and I stayed home yesterday). There's a water cooler just a few step from my desk and I fill up all day. But even with so little water yesterday I'm still holding on to the 1lb loss from the weekend. Hopefully with plenty of water today and tomorrow I'll be able to hang on to it and maybe even get rid of a little more.

Monica – Congrats on your decision to go back to school! I’ve been in that position for the past two years and can honestly say it’s a challenge, but totally worth it.
And, 47 minutes on the treadmill? You go girl! I barely managed 20 Monday.

Pixie_dust – I voted! Great dress, and you'll look terrific in it!

TM – I’ve long argued for carrot cake’s nutritional merits: you’ve got your vegetable group (carrots), legumes (walnuts), grains (there’s some sort of flour, right?), AND dairy (cream cheese frosting). All in all, a well-balanced meal

UM - do you really even want me to start with my MANY justifications for chocolate being "healthy"?!

DM – way to go! Keep it up, you can do it

Mhlover – I feel your pain. A couple months ago, I finally gave up on ever fitting in my jeans from the past few years and bought all new ones, several sizes bigger. If it helps, I’m done with the idea of losing weight. The times I was thinnest were also times when the stress in my life was nearly killing me. I’ll happily accept a few extra pounds in the name of being happy. BUT, I also know how much better I feel when I’m eating right and exercising. So I say, don’t worry about losing weight, just concentrate on doing things that make you feel GOOD!

dwheatl – just remember muscle weighs more than fat! Historically, my weight always goes up a bit when I start adding muscle. It’s a good thing!

Everybody else – keep up the great work and keep making good choices! Ya’ll are keeping me motivated already, so I’m doing my best to cheer you on, too!

As for me… as always seems to happen when I start exercising, I was STARVING by lunchtime yesterday. But, instead of my usual Lean Cuisine, I accepted that I was more hungry than usual and had a big, but healthy, lunch from the café at work. It worked! Instead of getting home at 6pm and stuffing my face, I wasn’t too hungry and just had a small bagel, 2 slices of veggie-bacon and a small apple. I wans’t overly full and happily did a half hour of yoga. I’m thinking a big lunch/smaller dinner may be key for me.

Keep on slimming!
