Keep up the awesome work!
Keep up the good work and that 5 pound clippie is yours! 
Plus with church and everything, it's hard to get an actual breakfast AND snack in. The test today came after church...as we didn't have much time between the end of church and the time Wes had to be at work. So we went to Burger King. The ironic thing was that I was just on BK's website last night looking at the nutritional guide. I wound up ordering a chicken whopper sandwich (low-carb...which means no bun) and a side garden salad with fat-free honey mustard dressing. I was quite satisfied and felt MUCH better. Snack (which I'm eating right now) is lime jello. Dinner should be interesting tonight since I'm trying to low-carb it just for this week to see how I can survive. . Don't get yourself down about the slipups. Yeah, you kinda went a little off the "healthy" thing with the chicken nuggets but, that made you have the good idea about finding nutritional facts on all fast food places so you would be prepared next time (and you were, getting that low carb chicken whopper and salad 
)Great Job!

Thanks so much for checkin in, gals...you all rock!! Tiger, yuo're are such a gem to me...I love ya, girl!!!
Ok, yesterday I caved. We went to McDonald's and instead of being good and ordering someting healthy, I wound up getting a 10 piece chicken nugget and medium fries. (We've all done it before. It's hard, isn't it!) I had been doing well up until that point. (Go
With my walking yesterday, I didn't do 12,000. I did 10,061. I really did try, but just couldn't cut it. (You tried. That's all that matters, TOM is picking on you.) I worked out like crazy though. I dunno...maybe subconsciously feeling guilty about the McDonald's splurge. It was supposed to be my rest day in terms of an actual workout and because I didn't rest like I should have, I wound up being VERY VERY sore, especially this morning. So I took a long hot shower before church this morning to soothe the aches and today is most definitely my rest day. I'm not even going to attempt the 12,000 steps today...my body really needs to recover from my insane workout. I did about 70 minutes of power walking, 20 minutes jogging, 80 "dancer squats" (kinda hard to explain), 60 leg lifts, 70 crunches, 40 butt lifts, and 20 minutes of arm toning. (Holy cannoli, woman! Don't hurt yourself, OK?)
I woke up this morning not only feeling sore, but also very bloated. That TOM is approaching, so I'm pretty bloated right now so those 2 pounds have temporarily crept back up. (Oh, Mary. I'm sorry. You're sticking to it though. Drink your water and do slow walks! He's a nasty flirter, isn't he?) I'm not expecting to see much change in the scale until after the bloating has passed which won't be for about another week. A little discouraging to me, but that's ok...I'm still confident!! (Keep up the good choices!) I have endometriosis and I've read that healthy eating helps alleviate the pain, so this will be my first test with that.
Breakfast/snack this morning was half an orange. We're kinda running out of food here.
We booked our room at Pop Century just yesterday and I'm SO excited!!! Makes the trrip seem that much more real...and makes my goals seem that much more important to me. I can't believe I'm only a few months away!
So that's me for today. Feeling better with a new week here...and continuing on to a new me!!!!
your attitude! Bye Wish-sis! LY!!!! Thursday, Friendly Friday, Super Saturday and Stellar Sunday!)
I'm glad I took the rest day though, because today I felt so much better and ready to get back into workout mode.

Yesterday was definitely a rest day for me. I didn't even hit 3,000 steps!! How that's possible, I don't even know, but I managed to accomplish it.
Breakfast: oatmeal raisin granola bar
snack: a cup of orange juice
lunch: grilled chicken with mango glaze, salad with fat free ranch, 1/2 cup mixed fruit and 2 cups water
snack: 10 crackers, 2 slices of cheese, and 2 thin slices of Healthy Choice turkey breast deli meat
dinner: will be about a cup of homemade chili (no beans for me)
Snack: will be 1/2 cup mixed fruit
I was going to try to low carb it this week, but we're running out of food and I have really nothing to go on for a low carb *whole* week. So that's out of the question. Next time I go grocery shopping, I'm going to better plan it.
My workout today was 20 minutes of cardio aerobics, 60 crunches, and 30 butt lifts. I also plan to go out walking later this evening.
Not an entirely eventful day for me today, so that's all I really have.
I love this idea!! Thanks Calena...I'm gonna do that!
I just finished my workout. My workout time increased by 3 minutes, so I did 23 minutes of cardio aerobics, as well as 30 butt lifts, 60 crunches, 40 leg lifts, 20 dancer squats, and 20 lunges (about another 10 minutes). I still plan on going power walking later tonight. TOM should be here later today, and to my amazement, my endometriosis isn't flaring up. But because this is my first time doing this healthy living/eating plan at the same time TOM is here, I don't know if the two are related, or if this is a fluke as endo can be unpredicatable sometimes. I guess I will know more next time around. If the two ARE related, then this is something that really motivates me to keep going.
That's pretty prominent!
...that would be so funny to explain if we had guests over. Hmmm, I may hang it right by my scale! 
). We did have to go out for a time last night, so our dinner wound up being at Wendy's. I was happy to have my little "cheat sheet" I made. I wound up getting a mandarin chicken salad with fat free ranch, small fries (I would have skipped, but my body really needed the energy and it felt a lot better after putting some carbs in), and a light lemonade. I ate only half of my salad, and the rest is saved for lunch today. My total steps for yesterday was 5,576 with a distance of 2.64 miles.
So I have a total of 3 pounds GONE!!!!!!!! That put a BIG smile on my face this morning!!
