Disneyland Divas: Working out, getting healthy and thin in 2010!!

[sahbushka]

Hi all. Yesterday I got some good excersize in but then went out with some friends to dinner and ate too much and then had about 1/2 of my friends order of fries and ranch while playing pool. Only had a sip of each of their drinks to taste. I had a great work out this morning. I decided to try running on the treadmill again. Last time I tried it I kept throwing out my back. Today I did a 2 minute warm up at 3 mph, 6 minute jog at 5 mph, 2 1/2 min walk at 3 mph, 6 minute job at 5mph, 2 1/2 minute walk at 3 mph, 3 minute jog at 5 mph, and finished off the 30 minutes at a 3 mph walk. I then did 30 minutes on the eliptical and kept my heart rate around 165 bpm. I have eaten very well today, I got a lot done around the house and my dh and ds made a healthy coconut-blueberry-macadamia nut muffin for only 4 points!

Congrats to all of you who are making good choices in your lives! I have pledged to stay at my point target for the rest of my week (2 1/2 days to go!)

I meant to check in last week at my first WW weigh in. I was so nervous. But surprisingly, I lost 7.8 pounds. Yes, I said 7.8 pounds of weight was lost in my first week of WW. I weigh in tomorrow again, so I will see how this week goes. I am sure it won't be like the first week, but I am still expecting a loss.

I want to get some movement into my life, but I just can't get myself into it. So hopefully the lifestyle of eating healthy and making better choice will work.

Congeats to everyone else!

Wow, great job! I also lack the motivation to get off my butt and walk. Maybe we could meet up and walk together?

Hi ladies. I'm not going to be posting daily weight loss anymore, but will probably start weekly check-ins.

My eating today has been erratic. Dan and I woke up super early to drive off island to see Avatar in Imax 3-D (which was awesome, btw). We both had oatmeal before we left. We shared a banana before the movie. During the movie we split a small bag of dried mango. After we had turkey, carrots and snap peas that I brought, as well as an orange apiece.

Once we got home is where things got ugly. We were both starving and there was cake sitting out on the bar from the kids' class. We shared a piece and then continued to pick a bit on the rest of it. Dan even made home-made cheese-its for the kids and I had a few of those. At dinner I had one corn tortilla with beans, ground turkey, cabbage and salsa. But my tummy is hurting! I think maybe I went a little too far with the extra sugars and carbs today (I love dried mango, but it doesn't love me). Ouch.

After sitting so much today -- in both the car and the theater -- my sciatica is killin me, so now I don't feel like being active. Hoping for some good weather tomorrow and maybe we can go for a family hike.

Great job!

Well today I went to a baby shower at a restaurant, so I was a little worried. I had a bowl of Special K and a cup of green tea this morning. Then at the shower I had a piece of bread and butter, caesar salad, and 2 pieces of pizza!!!! I wish I had just stopped at 1 piece of pizza, but it was oh so yummy! I did skip the cake though. By the time I got home it was around 5:30, so I just brushed my teeth so I would stop eating, and it really worked. I baked a cake and some cookies for the party I'm going to tomorrow, and I didn't even sneak a taste. Of course, tomorrow will be another story, but I'm learning to control myself a bit, and I'm happy about that. Before I started this journey, I would have probably had bacon and eggs for Saturday breakfast, all that food at the shower, and then come home and had a full dinner. And then I would have eaten cookies as the came out of the oven.
I did not get enough water today, but I did have something like 3 glasses of tea at the shower. And when I came home I did the 1 mile walk on Exercise TV on Comcast On Demand. Not too far, but at least I did something!

BTW, I weighed myself this morning, and I am down 3 more pounds. I am very pleased, as I am down 8 pounds since January 4th!

Congratulations Tina. That is great and I really admire your ability to cook for other people and control yourself.

Good morning friends! I weighed in this morning and finally hit my 10 lb. mark. I'm at 168.5. I know if I was drinking more water that I would lose quicker, so that is my goal for today.

I also did a reeeeaaaaly scary thing this morning. I tried on my swimsuits for Maui. Surprisingly, it wasn't too bad. I'm feeling a TON better about myself and even if I only lose a few more pounds before the trip, I'll be happy.
I'd love to be 163 by the time we leave. We'll see if that happens.

Stacie, you taking any supplements to help with the dieting this time? Or are you going natural?

Wow! Congratulations on reaching your first goal. I hope that Maui is awesome! What sort of supplements work well?

Happy Birthday Wendy. Great job on your continued loss even with your bday celebrating. Now back on the wagon lady!

OMG Broccoli is 0 points??? Hmm, I may have to re-think this Weight Watchers thing... broccoli's just about my favorite thing ever!

Yep, good stuff! Unless you put ranch on it

I haven't weighed myself in over two months so I really don't know how much I weigh. Today started off poorly when I had about five 100 calorie snack cakes but lunch was much better. I had 5 oz extra lean ground beef and 4 oz cooked brown rice rigatoni pasta. I have a huge juice bottle full of water staring me in the face so I better get to chugging!

QUOTE] You can do it Cristabel. Do it for Jingles. She deserves it!

Callie and Wendy--congrats on your losses! Keep it up girls!

I just ate a piece of brownie, and I don't even feel guilty. It was sooooooooo good!

Awe! Chocolate, me love chocolate~ (said like cookie monster)

Just stopping in to cheer everyone on!!!!

You are all doing great. Keep it up.

Hi Beth. Sure glad I'm not loosing 9 pounds with your method!

Excellent Loss Stacie.

Just go walkin' on your wii fit!

If you all haven't discovered it yet, you should try Jello Pudding cups sugar-free Dulce de Leche and Boston Cream Pie. They are sooooooo yummy! Only 60 calories and you feel like you really had dessert.

What sort of supplements work well?

I took Soloslim for awhile. It was quick weight loss. It's basically a bulk fiber that when you take it in the morning (that's the only time you take it, when you first wake up), it expands in your stomach and makes you feel fuller. You have to drink lots of water to keep it bulked up. It's 30 capsule for $40. I got mine on ebay here, and did the Extra Strength as well. I didn't feel hungry at all, but also didn't feel weak, like I hadn't been eating. Apparently it does have some sort of stimulant as well, although I didn't feel it at all.

 

[disney-inspired]

On Friday we went walking with Jingles for 45 minutes.
We were planning to walk her today but it started raining while we were at the market. We'll probably take her to Petsmart and walk around the store.

 

[sahbushka]

I have done very well the past day and a half. I ate at my target points yesterday and worked out yesterday and today. I even ran 10 minutes in a row today and a total of 19 minutes out of 30 today so I feel good about that. I know most people can do a lot more but for me that is great!

Have a great day.

Thanks! I would consider that if I can't be successful at what I am doing.

That's great Sarah. I have a hard time running. How many points do you do a day, if you don't mind me asking.

 

[BillyFan]

Great job on the walking and running, ladies!

I did the 1 mile On Demand walk plus and On Demand abs class this morning. Then I had a yogurt. I was doing pretty well until I went to a party today. I had a Togos sandwich, chips and dip, plus a piece of cake. But that is all I ate today, so hopefully not too much damage done. I also drank tons of water today. And I passed up wine at today's bday and yesterday's shower. When I got home I did some housework--taking out all the trash and bringing it out to the curb, sweeping, vacuuming, etc, just to try to get my heart rate up a bit. Every bit helps, right?

It sure does Tina! Good job on stopping before the damage was too great. I am known to go hog wild once I throw in the towel. Not a good thing! Passing on my wine is hard. Had a rough day yesterday, kids that is, not food, and I had a MGD64 at the end of the day. Man did that taste good!

 

[stacielee]

Monday is the day I keep track of my weight, I'm down about 7 pounds in 2 weeks! And my auntie came and visited me so not sure how that will affect this week's weight. Off to do my elliptical and soloflex for the day! Monday always seems like the hardest day to get into the exercise, especially since I don't do it on Saturday or Sunday... and it's raining here today, came in from California, so it's cold, dark and gloomy.

 

[sahbushka]

That's great Sarah. I have a hard time running. How many points do you do a day, if you don't mind me asking.

I currently get 27 a day.

I am working a double today so I won't be getting any excersize but I have worked out the past 5 days in a row so I am ok with that. I think my body needs a break! My wi is tomorrow.

I got my new work pants and belt in today! The pants are already a hint on the big side but the last pair I had was almost falling off so it is a great improvement!

I've been a very bad girl. Not only did I celebrate my birthday on Thursday, but on Friday, my friends threw me a surprise b-day party with lots of food and alcohol, and on Saturday my parents had another party for me up in South Lake Tahoe, and on Sunday my sister took me out to a b-day lunch followed by a b-day dinner with my cousin. So. much. food. I didn't get much exercise either, but I drank lots of water. I got on the scale and saw that I had gained 4 lbs. Today I'm back on track, and am actually excited to go for a jog tomorrow.

I hope everyone is having a healthy and happy Monday!

 

[DangerMouse]

Hey ladies! It was a gorgeous day here today so I went for a bike ride, and a walk, and then walked again while the girls were at their piano lessons. Dan made a totally gourmet lunch for me today of grilled mahi mahi with tangerine fig balsamic vinegrette, a veggie mix (brussels, zuchinni, mushroom and onion) and brown rice. It was soooo good. I have no idea what to make for dinner. Better get on that. . .

I haven't gotten on the scale the last couple days cuz I was getting obsessive about it, and it isn't the most accurate scale, so it ticks me off going up and down by 3 lbs. each time I get on it. I'll probably weigh-in again on Friday.

It really is!

Very nice! What a great way to actually see your progress!

I hope everyone is having a healthy and happy Monday!

I'm glad you had a great time celebrating your birthday. You totally deserve it! All you can do is get back on track and keep up the healthy habits!

 

[sahbushka]

Today has been ok. I have been at work so I really only have available to me what I brought with me and I packed food that fits into my points for the day. I have eaten every few hours and had lots of water to drink. I hope everyone is having an on plan day and to those of you who have fallen off the wagon a bit...it's time to get back on! Don't be one of the many who only stick to it for the first 2 weeks...be one of the ones who carries on and makes progress towards your goals! You can do it!
