Congrats on the workout. Keep up the good work

Where did you find Tai-Chi on TV? That sounds cool!

 

[Zoesmama03]

PBS its part of the fund drive but they showed about 30 minute clips and I did my best to keep up with it. Was cool and relaxing might have to get a dvd so I can relax in evening a few nights a week as a second workout.

 

[Zoesmama03]

I missed my workout this morning, my dd wouldn't go to bed last night and she slept with us and I couldn't get up without waking her ugh!! I will try my hardest to make it up if my dd and the little one I watch nap well today if not I think I will take a walk with them after they nap. I don't wanna miss today. I already missed my strength workout last night.

So far today I have had:

Breakfast:
bagel w/ country crock spread 8 pts
OJ 2 pts
banana 2 pts
12

Lunch will probably be salad and tuna sandwich

Dinner:
???

Hang in there Melissa!! Make SURE you get that walk in - you'll be so happy with yourself afterward. Plus little ones love to go outside, ride in the stroller and just look around!! My DS loved to count how many squirrels he would see when we went for our walks (we have tons of them were we live. )

Food looks good, focused. You CAN do this Melissa!! Really you can!!

TTFN- Sharon

Alright!!! To my suprise both kids fell asleep on the floor in living room before their normal nap time I moved them to bed and they are sound asleep. Drinking a little water then getting to my workout 3 mile WATP dvd, is already loaded and ready for me. I don't feel like doing it but gonna anyway because I know I'll be glad that I did.

I know I can do this.

 

[Zoesmama03]

Just finished my workout and am eating my lunch before the kids wake up.

It was so tiring and I'm all sweaty and debated if I was gonna shower right now or not decided hunger was more powerful. Plus I'm waiting on my clean pants to wash and dry so I have something decent to wear to MIL's tonight. I shower quickly before I leave for her place. DH is already there working on some projects for her.

Oh and lunch is a tuna salad sandwich made with light Mircle whip & relish and a big salad w/ FF Italian dressing. Half a cucumber some chopped on salad others sliced for dipping in a little FF ranch.

Melissa -- Congratulations on seizing that time for yourself and using it so well! I bet you feel very smug!
Your lunch sounds like it was yummy and filling.
Keep up the great work!

 

[Zoesmama03]

For dinner I had about 1 1/2 cups of 15 bean soup with ham in it, MIL cooked it at her place. It was salty but very yummy!! MIL gave me a cupcake too. Not the best for the diet. I joked it was a diet muffin because she does Jenny Craig but has fallen off plan some with some craziness and changes in her lifestyle.

I had 2 blue bunny no sugar added ice cream bars though. Went over points 5 pts to be exact but better than some days I have journaled in last couple months. 4 of them the blue bunny ice cream bars.

have a great weekend!!

 

[Zoesmama03]

I should not have stayed up till 2:30 am last night because I couldn't wake up early enough to get my workout in. So I will have to make it up when kiddos nap or will take them for an outdoor walk after they wake up or perhaps before they wake up will see. I Will make it up though gotta stay on schedule and keep the daily renewal of my goals.

Breakfast:
Frosted Shreaded wheats 3pts
skim milk 2 pts
1/2 a banana 1 pt
6pts

So far thats it for me. But doing pretty good. Hey I avoided the cake MIL sent home with us. Normally I don't hesitate to have cake for breakfast but it had no frosting so I passed. DH finished half(small square cake) of it lastnight and as of this morning has consumed 3/4 of it but I don't care I don't need it anyway.

 

[Zoesmama03]

I had to buy this Pilates for dummies dvd today. I can't wait to try it out. Think I will give it a go this evening before bed try to pick up the moves.

For lunch:
6 corn dog bites(the minis) 7.5 pts
dip made with mayo/mustard/ketchup 1 pt(didn't use much)
Frozen baked french fires 2 pts(rounded up since I know I did not eat 15)
OJ 2 pts

total 12.5 so far. Leaves 15.5 for dinner/snacks.

 

[Zoesmama03]

I did Tae Bo while kiddos napped. I eventually got dh peeled away from his game for awhile to do Tae Bo and I got to preview Pilates. I didn't try the moves yet I will try them tomorrow.

 

[Zoesmama03]

Oh and I just had to take a sneak peek at the scale today. Since Monday my weight is down 1 lb. As long as its off to stay off.

 

[Zoesmama03]

Dinner was
Crab alfredo w/ asparagus 12 pts
kool aid 2pts
bite of bork rib from Banquet meal 2pts??

Sliver of cake 2pts

Total for Dinner/snacks 18 pts

36.5 pts for day Over by 2.5 pts but earned 9 activity points if I count Tae Bo as heavy and I consider it very heavy exercise. I was sweating way more than with WATP and working way harder too. Its tough I will have to build up some endurance for it.

Sounds like your turning into an excersise machine. Keep up the good work. We are pretty close in weight you have me beat by a bit so it will be nice to keep going with you.

Melissa - you are doing awesome! Keep up the good work - you will have such wonderful results!

Every time I want to eat something off plan, I think about what I want to look like eventually. Then I say "self, if you eat this______, you will not lose the weight that you so desparately want to lose!" Sometimes it works, sometimes not. But at least I stop and think now before I plop it in my mouth!

Onward and Downward Melissa! I hope you have a wonderful week!!

TTFN- Sharon

Last week was great. Sunday was bad. And Monday was okay but I ate McDonalds and did not get my workout. Yesterday I was sooo sick (TMI WARNING) I had diaherra so I did not want to work out at all. Tummy is still upset today but doing better. I will try to do WATP later tonight since we were out late at MIL's last night I didn't get to sleep until after 2am.

doing good today had toast for breakfast to help with tummy.

Lunch having a salad(working on it) and a little mac and cheese.

Dinner is ??? I dunno if we will be eating here or at MIL's
