I was veryyyy tempted by icecream in particular a chocolate sundae last night but held steadfast. Dh gave me one spoonful of his. Then walked 1 1/2 miles around the neighborhood. Had a great day, also did yard work,which I feel is such an all body workout. So today

b- 1 egg w/ch & 1 sl lc toast coffee w/ cream
l- salad w/ tuna & 1 pep shooter
h2o all day, still have a lot to go.

It looks like rain and I heard some thunder so I'll hold off on walking till tonight. Need to add some abs & stretching.

[Auntmeme]

Well my cheat free days are moving up but I didn't walk yesterday. We hit Sesame Place and with the heat & walking around the park ( can I count that?) I was exhausted My 3 year old wasn't so mommy rested and he watched tv. Never walked due to the special survivor, addicted to that show. I have high hopes to walk walk walk today but first must get moving.

Enjoy your day --

Hi Meme! Long time no cyber see! How have you been? I see you've been doing very well. Wow, over 3 miles of walking and cheat free for 9 days to boot! Woohoo!

I've been staying OP but hit a plateau which I finally broke. I'm ok with that though, moving forward!

Thanks so much for posting to my journal the other day and not forgetting about me. I'm going to try really hard to journal every day. Take care!

 

[Auntmeme]

Hey Lisa, thanks for posting.

Hi MeMe!! I've finally made it over to your journal and I see I've missed a LOT!

Looks like you've found your groove! You're eating healthy and getting LOTS of exercise!! I sure hope the scale was good to you!

It was great to meet you at Doylestown! You're such a sweetie and Parker - so adorable!! I can't find the cable to upload the pictures from the digital camera but as soon as I find it, I'll be sure to send you the pics of Parker.

I'm sending and for your Monday!

 

[Auntmeme]

Well it's Tuesday and I did not stay on focus at the b-day party. My sister had 2 gorgeous cakes & pbchc ic so of course I had to have it. Sunday I was on target & walked 3.4 miles. Yesterday no walk but gardened for hours and last night my thighs were a hurtin, all the squatting I think. I'm dressed and ready to walk today. Bought new sneaks last night & found the running times mag w/ the wdw marathon ad & a new low carb eating mag. So I'm focused and ready.

Disappointed the scale showed a 1 lb gain, don't know unless it's because of tom. Shorts fit better around waist and I'm watching the cheese intake.

Hi Doe thanks for stopping in. I loved meeting you & your dh and can't wait to see alll the great pics

Tues
b- coffee w/cream & 2 eggs 1 ch & 1 sl lc bread bit of ket

 

[Auntmeme]

Tues
s- almonds
l-chsteak no bun
s-sm salad w/ feta ch
d- 1 sl lc toast w/pb (not too hungry)
s- lc ic
walked 2 miles

My new low carb mag has some great articles and a few websites I'll be checking. They say the key is variety of foods. It lists many recipes for summer which will be great. I need to take the time to plan the meals and stay on program. An article talks about taking pleasure in our meals using all of our senses, taking the time to enjoy. I think this will help me focus better on meal prep & portion control.

My new sneaks are great but I need new socks, I could feel a potential blister.

If the scale does not show a downward move I'll need to go back to induction. Time to reread the book.

Today I am choosing to not stay on program as I am taking my ds to see shrek 2 and I will have popcorn(one of life's evil pleasures, tongue: )

I'll exercise tonight and be on course tomorrow.

 

[lulu201]

Good morning, MeMe. Just stopped by to tell you how I appreciate your support and your visits to my journal.

So, you're inspired to cook and make new meals. . .hmmm, I think I need that, too, but I really don't like to cook, so that's a problem. Can I just come over for dinner?

Have a good day. Did you like the movie?

Erin

 

[Auntmeme]

Lulu you are invited anytime

The shrek movie is great, we had a good time and then hit sears for some cool max socks, shorts & shirt. Had movie popcorn & 3 sm choc eggs but the rest of the day was on plan. Walked 2 miles last night, legs are feeling good

Thurs
b- coffee w/ creamer(yuck out of half&half), 2 eggs w/ onions & peps
l-sm salad w/ bl ch & couple of chick wings (Applebees)
did more flower shopping so I'm off to plant - my garden is going to look dynamite

have not stepped on the scale yet this week, last week I obsessed. I moved it under the bed and will not check till sunday. I better see a loss or else the scale is going to get it

 

[lulu201]

OK, here's the plan. Start whispering threatening messages to the scale under the bed (when no one's around, of course )--things like "If you don't cooperate, I'm going to leave you on the porch and Erin will come over and beat the you-know-what out of you." If you start now, by Sunday you should see some good results (as long as you keep up with the sensible eating and great walking that you've been doing ). If it doesn't, well, you know what to do. . .I can be over there by 6 a.m.!

Have a good day, MeMe.

Oh, yeah, what are we having for dinner?

Lulu

 

[DoeWDW]

Dinner's at MeMe's???? YUM! I can bring a low-carb cheesecake for dessert!

I hope you had a great weekend and that you & the scale are still on speaking terms after yesterday.

Let me know how you like your new CoolMax workout gear! I've been thinking I'd like to try some CoolMax stuff but haven't done it yet. Does it really keep you cooler??

Have a great Monday!

 

[Auntmeme]

Hi girls

The scale is ok, not my best friend but we are on speaking terms. I lost 1 lb says the scale today I know I veered a little off course this weekend with movie popcorn and I only walked 3x so I'll take the one. and saturday night I had some nachos oh my and yesterday a couple of chips while out by the pool. This week will be better and I have to make a really good plan for the weekend. The new low carb mag has quite a few menu plans for bbq and parties, drinks and snacks. I'm hitting the grocery store now but will most likely have to go to the health food store later in the week. And I must walk more this week and do some ab work. This healthy living is sooooo muchhhh workkk

The coolmx socks are wonderful and the shirt & shorts have yet to be really put to the test. I have worn them but not for an intense workout. If the are like the socks I highly recommend. And my new sauconys are the bomb!

 

[Auntmeme]

Well it's wednesday already and the rain has halted my walking plans. Looks like it may clear up later and I'll try for a 2-3 miler. Monday was on target, no walk can't remember why. Yesterday was on target till evening and then hit the pizza joint with girlfriend, we shared so it was not all bad but the calzone is definitely not atkins firendly. So today

b- coffee w/ cream & omelet w/ gr pep, on, ham & ch
water

Still organizing summer clothes and am amazed at how many shorts I own that do not fit, what happened to my hips??? Need to get in more intense exercise or those shorts will never see daylight

 

[Auntmeme]

wed l- chick salad
d-scallops w/ bacon & mushrooms, salad w/ bl ch
s- low carb ic bar
s- 1 tbs pb
walked 1.8 miles
almost finished the closet organizing, must have 1 more box of clothes missing swimsuit. gardened a little still much more to do, it is such a whole body workout that I don't like doing it so much each day. Today will plan to do some and finish this weekend. It's less humid today think we'll hit sesame place for a while and walk later. Even though I belong to a gym I haven't been there in 3 months so I may cancel the membership since I'm enjoying walks outside now but what happens come fall, hmmm.

 

[lulu202]

Did you go to Sesame Place today? At least it wasn't hot and icky. Can you put a hold on the gym membership and then go back in the fall? That way you have a back up plan for cold weather. Personally, I HATE to walk in the cold, so for me, it's the treadie in the winter or nothing. It's just my two cents, but I say: jock athletes like us need to keep our options open! Where did you get your cool max socks? I have to get some!

I'm jealous of your clean closets. If you want to take on any more, let me know!

Erin

 

[Auntmeme]

Sesame Place was good, alittle more crowded than last time. Will probably get worse as we head into summer.

Thurs - l- ham & ch rolups & atkins chips
d- sauted scallops w/ baked cauliflower
s- coffee w/ cream
s- 1/2 diet rb & tbl pb

walked 2.3 miles and then another .5 later, did bit of gardening with more for today if it stops raining and not too muddy

Hi Erin, thanks for stopping in us jocks do need the most options. Would love to get tm but can't figure out where to put it, still thinking Sorry can't see me doing anyone else's closets can barely make through my own, it's taken me months and they still don't seem organized

I've been a slave to my scale this week I moved it under the bed and can't stop myself each am and it does not appear good. I've switched to egg whites and switched from lc ic to lc ic bars better portion control. This holiday weekend will be tough so I'm off to find lc recipes and then hit the store, preparedness is the key

TGIF
b- coffee w/ cream, 3 ew w/ ham & ch & 1 sl lc toast, bit of ket

 

[DoeWDW]

Meme, organized closets - what a concept!! I should tackle mine over this long weekend! I was watching one of those home makeover shows last night and I liked their concept. Take everything out and then put each thing on one of three piles - keep it, sell it or toss it! Then go through the keep pile again and make SURE you want to keep it all. I'd have a lot less "stuff" if I did it that way!

You're down a pound!! YAY!! Those single pounds add up over time! It sounds like you're getting plenty of exercise in, with all that gardening and running around Sesame Place!

I'm going to look for some CoolMax socks!!

Hope your day is filled with sunshine & smiles!

 

[Auntmeme]

Well the weekend is near complete and I did not make it through too well. From Saturday's movie popcorn & fries oh yeah 2 margaritas to today's donut So I can not add anymore cheatfree days but I can plan to exceed that number nextmonth.

I walked 2 miles on Saturday but nothing yesterday or today. The scale shows a 1/2 lb loss so I guess better than nothing Tomorrow will be hard have a long day planned and dinner at in-laws. Told neighborhood I'd work for him, really don't want to why do we do we things for others when we really want to say no?

Will need to stick to plan for first week of June since walking will be hard to fit in.
