CONGRATS on the loss!! That is great. You are eating so well, it is great to have the pay off. I am so impressed with all of you that are eating well with no "cheating". Send some of your willpower, my way, could you?

That you feel better soon. I know you will feel even better when you can exercise.

Thanks guys! You all are such a source of positivity and inspiration for me! I love ya!!

I wasn't feeling much better at all today. I came home at lunchtime to pick up some paperwork I forgot and I found an old nasonex nose spray (expired Feb 05) and used that & I was unclogged for about an hour. Um, old medicine won't kill me, will it? I'm hoping it just weakens past the expiration date.

Food for today:

bfast
2 egg salad w/lite mayo

lunch
turkey on lite bread w/lettuce
broccoli
10 grapes
100 calorie pack (not on plan, but the best snack option I had at the time)

dinner
pizza veggie burger w/ff cheese (no roll)

no snack

drinks
57 oz. water
32 oz. decaf unsweet green tea

Have a great one, guys! And thanks again for all of your support on my journal!!

Hope you feel better soon.

Kim,
How much have you lost so far? I am very frustrated, I lost 8 lbs my first week and have stayed there even though I am eating very well and exercising like crazy- please offer any suggestions on my post, I am ready to throw in the towel! I also am drinking lots of water.
Linda

 

[kimwim8]

Thanks Tracy - I've been thinking about you!! Hope you're feeling better really soon!

Linda - I just posted on your journal - DONT GIVE UP!! You're doing great and I know a loss will show up very soon!

As for me...I started with my nutritionist on 12/26/06 at 145 and by March or April I was down to 116. It was tough, very tough and the plan was strict...but it worked! I've tried to learn how to balance eating food and exercising and maintaining my weight for the remainder of 2006...and it worked well until the holidays hit. I ate like it was going out of style and got sick so the exercise kind of went to the side. So this year I'm starting out at 126. Please feel free to PM me if you'd like more information about the plan I am on or for anything!! We're here for each other.

I've wondered the same thing - especially with allergy/sinus meds.

I hope you are feeling better soon. Does running help clear your head some?

Your food looks really good. How was the pizza veggie burger? I have only had the original (which I like).

(Is it just my computer or does the text look funny today? )

Hey Anna! I don't know if running will clear my head...but I'm gonna give it a shot this weekend!

The pizza veggie burger is REALLY good! I think it was Morning Star Farms brand (green box). I like it with fat free mozz cheese on the top. Feels like a pizza. haha

(and I think it's your pc...text is lookin good to me )

Have a great one, and thanks!!

[RunningLilo]

Hey Kim!

I hope you're feeling better. There, I covered you in pixie dust. You should be all better soon!

I'm about to enlist you in my Scott and Amy search party. They're driving me crazy. I especially can't wait to hear how Amy did with the injury and all. I'm sure Scott breezed right on through to the end. But I wanna know!!! They're in big trouble if they don't check in soon!

Take care!

I know!! What is that all about?? Nothin like hyping us all up and then leavin us hangin!!!!

Yes, today was a better day. Still sneezing, but not as congested. I'm looking forward to a run this weekend (and scared that I won't even make it 20 minutes). Whatever I can do is good - I gotta remember that.


Hey Jen - thanks for stopping by. Seems like I never talk to you.

Food for today was ok. I didn't stay exactly on plan and the guilt is getting to me. I know that I still made good choices, though.

bfast
egg whites w/tomatoes
3/4 cup cereal w/8oz. skim milk

lunch
tuna w/lite mayo over lettuce & tomatoes
7 reduced fat wheat thins

snack
100 calorie pack

dinner
crockpot chicken stew ala Kim (chicken breasts, broccoli, elbow noodles, 98%ff cream of chicken soup, light sour cream)

snack
apple

drinks
91 oz. water

OK, so dinner wasn't exactly on plan, but it was healthy nonetheless. Also, I'm allowed a sugar-free treat as a freebie every day, but I can't have sugar-free things very often or else I get hives. So, I allowed myself a 100 calorie pack of sunchips. I definitely won't be doing this every day. I also didn't get any green tea in today, so I drank a little more water than normal.

Have a great night, all!

That Chicken Stew sounds delicious!!!

Hiya Kim!!

WOW!! You are doing so great with the eating and exercising!!! New signature and everything!!! I'm very very proud of your accomplishments and you definitely should be too. Keep up the great work.

As far as the 'Scott and Amy' search party...well, you will have to wait at least another hour or so...or possibly into tomorrow....this report is not an easy one to write as it is a very reflective and meaningful one for me to post. But....since I like you guys so much, I will reveal this secret:

There are two people I know who received medals at the finish line

Have a great evening!! (off to continue working on my next post)

WOO HOO!!! He's BACK!!!

Take your time and write away....just wanted to make sure you're ok!

 

[RunningLilo]

Thanks for the update on our missing teammate! I'm so happy they both got medals!!! Next year is definitely our turn!!! I'm going to try my best to stick around here more through the good and bad times this year. Goodness knows your posts in my journal have been a main reason I haven't given up! Thanks!!! But I've got to tell you, I was telling dh how you post your daily menus on here and how I would starve to freaking death eating what you do. I don't know how you do it but I'm really proud of you.

You are doing great, Kim! I hope you are feeling better soon.

Dena, you are SO funny! I think the point of the plan I'm on is to make me so sick of the healthy food I'm allowed to have, so that I end up eating very little of it. I can get through this knowing that I'll be having REAL food soon! (actually we're going out to dinner this Saturday for my CHEAT MEAL!! No holds barred!!!

Next year is DEFINITELY our year. I've started working out how much it will cost and all of that so that I can make it there!! (I will not shop, I will not shop, I will not shop)

I appreciate the wonderful things you said about me. I feel more like a nag...but if it helps you - then I'll keep at it!!

And that's an adorable Belle you have there!

Kim the chicken stew sounds good. Can I have your recipe? I am always looking for crockpot recipes.

I'll look for the pizza veggie burgers too. They sound great.
