workout-nont I did watch my husband win an intramural doubles raquetball tournament tonight. I'm a little bit proud of him. I am hoping to get to the gym tomorrow night the energy seems to be pretty much back so it's time to get back into it.

 

[lovinaz]

I hope you are able to get back to your workouts soon! How frustrating to have the elliptical there and not be able to use it!

 

[Blueeyes101817]

hope that elliptical is ready to use for you soon!

hope you are having a great weekend

 

[gradtchr]

Elliptical update they are sending us a new leg that will take care of the problem. YEAH!!

Weekend was good in that I had fun and enjoyed it-not good in respects to eating. My weight was up to 151 today I don't think that I gained two pounds but I need to take it really easy this week on eating and get it back down.

I am back on track w/ exercising. DH and I took an hour long walk yesterday and I will be doing something tonight as well. At least I hope I am. I have a dentist appt today for stage 1 of a crown so if I can't feel my mouth I'm not doing anything.

Menu plans:
b-granola bar
s-balance bar
l-turkey black bean burrito
s-none dentist appt
d-something soft
s-don't know

 

[lovinaz]

Eeew, I hate dental work! I hope that goes OK for you. I also hope you are able to get your elliptical fixed soon!

That weekend weight will come off by Wednesday - mine always does...

 

[frogmommy]

Hi Beth-

It's been way too long since I've been here. I hope that the dental work went OK.

 

[Jane E.]

I hope your dentist appt goes well. I'm the biggest baby when it comes to going to the dentist. I was a 151 today too. We're going to get thru this and make it to the 140's permanently.

 

[gradtchr]

The dentist visit was ok I have a temporary crown now YUCK and am only a little bit sore.

My day:
b-granola bar (2)
s-granola bar (1)
l-salad w/ romaine, spinach, chicken, tomato, celery, cheese, oriental dressing
30 min walk
s-balance bar
d-sandwich w/ 2 servings sun chips
40 min walk
s-unknown

I'm so happy I am getting workouts in again. YEAH!!

Jane E. We are going to make it to the 140's PERMANENTLY we can do this!!

frogmommy-glad to see you!

lovinaz-I hope it's gone by tomorrow I think I am dealing with water weight but it's still difficult to accept the number on the scale.

 

[lovinaz]

I am learning to not be so disappointed with the scale. Every once in a while it makes me furious, but most of the time I am OK with what it says. I checked out www.drpeeke.com (the woman who wrote BFL for Women) and she had a chart in there that showed 4 women, each 35 years old and 140lbs. It was amazing because one of them was 16% body fat and wore a size 8 and a couple of them were over 30% body fat and wore 12's or something. It was all about the body composition. So that made me feel TONS better about things!

Now that you are back into your workout routine, that pesky scale will start moving in the right direction again. You are going to kick butt in March!

 

[gradtchr]

I'll have to check that out! Thanks!!

Yesterday was good with food:
b-cappucino shake
s-granola bar (I wanted a balance bar but temporary crown+sticky=no no)
l-spinach salad w/ chicken
30 min walk
s-pudding w/ 100's pack of cookies
d-greek wrap, tomatoes and slice of cheese
s-none

today:
b-granola bar
s-2 granola bars
l-guacamole taco and soft cheese enchilada (ate out at lunch but still ate small)
s-none
d-greek wrap, tomatoes, slice of cheese
s-very berry parfait

 

[SunFloridaDisney]

Hope you get the elliptical working soon, and bet you're going to do great in March!

Have a good weekend!

Hi there,

Have you got the elliptical working yet....? That must be so frustrating...to have it and not be able to use it.

You are doing a great job, Keep up the great work!

Have a wonderful weekend!

 

[Blueeyes101817]

You have been doing such a great job--keep it up

 

[lovinaz]

Oh man, I think I would go insane if I couldn't have my daily Balance Bar! They are SO good and really zap that chocolate craving. I hope you get that temporary off soon so you can start eating them again!

Great job sticking to a small portion when you ate out. Keep it up!

Congrats for hitting in the 140's again. I've got to get caught up. How's the elliptical? Glad to see that you got it put together & working. The Santa Fe Chicken Recipe was delicious in the EFL book. I'm so glad that I've got you and Amy to pick up recipes and suggestions from.
