Well we went to Buffalo Wild Wings for dinner and I did good. I got the naked chicken tenders (they are grilled, not breaded) and it came with fries. The entire meal was 550 calories I think.

My fiance and best friend laughed at me cause I've been doing so well with the no soda that when the waitress went to ask what I wanted to drink I had a brain fart and said "dr pepper." She said "ok I'll be right back." Then I panicked and said "oh no nevermind. I want a lemonade, sorry." .

isnt it funny how routine things are for us. I have heard others say that it takes doing something for 30 days before it comes routine for you. So a few more weeks and you should have it down without even thinking about it. Great job on changing your order and not just saying oh well.

Taryn- I loved the article! Thanks for sharing. I especially love this quote.
When life gives you lemons, don't just smash them. Instead make yummy (sugar-free) lemonade and savor every sip!

I always say when life gives you lemons make lemonade but never heard the healthier version of the quote.
Have a great day with the family.

QOTD Sunday-

When I reach my goal I hope to:

1. like clothes shopping again.
2. be able to run even faster (my goal is middle of the pack)
3. run a warrior dash (my friend is doing this in june but I dont think I will be
ready this year)
4. Live another 60 years

Have a great day!

QOTD, Sunday, January 15: Think ahead to when you reach your goal, which you will, I can feel it! What are the things you want to be able to do as a result? This will be your motivation for the days ahead! Maintainers, dig deep. Think about mental, physical (yes, Rose, I'm thinking about your push ups ), emotional outcomes you are still working on despite being at goal.

Some of my goals

1. To run any Disney race and a 5K in my hometown area
2. Wear a single digit clothes size
3. Start trying for a baby!!!

 

[tigger813]

QOTD: I did reach my goal right before Christmas but put a bit back on over the holidays. There are a few things I want to do when I maintain that goal for more than a week!

1. Run a race at WDW whether it be a 5K or a half!
2. Run the WINE & DINE half with redwalker and as many of you that can make it!


When I reach my goal again I'm going to get my hair done. I haven't had it cout or trimmed in a VERY LONG time! It's longer than it's been in years. Friends say I look younger. I've never had any color in my hair so I may to do some highlights too!

Just finished my EASA2 workout. I hope to squeeze in an elliptical workout after lunch. Company isn't coming until 4ish. I just drank an instant chocolate protein drink. Not bad. Now to finish my big bottle of water and pour another one. And time to clean up the kitchen yet again!

TTFN

 

[jenjolt]

I love having more time on the weekends to do longer workouts! Just finished my 4 fast and firm miles DVD!!! It was awesome!! Feels good to get those longer workouts in from time to time!!!

[flipflopmom]

QOTD: I had to start taking high-blood pressure medicine not too long ago. I am hoping that with losing more weight and exercising that I will be able to do away with the pill.

Definitely a motivator! I hated being on that after DD2!

1. I want to run the Disney half, and princess half.
2. I want to have my skin removal surgery.
3. I want to find a fulfilling and happy relationship.

Great list, and somthing to look forward to!!!!!

I was reading quickly, and thought you said something about single digit dance! I had your ticker on my brain. Single digit clothes - definitely something to shoot for, and a baby, well, !

[Rose&Mike]

Saturday QOTD: Who is standing in my way. This question gets asked every challenge and I've always answered Me, but I'm realizing that no one is in my way, not even me. I may stumble, I may fall, but eventually I get back in the game and as long at I keep trying then I can do it. I may be moving at a snails pace or even backwards, but I'm still here. 7 years and still on the journey.

Fabulous answer, Deb!!!!

Lindsay--sounds like you had a great day yesterday! Happy almost birthday!

QOTD, Sunday, January 15: Think ahead to when you reach your goal, which you will, I can feel it! What are the things you want to be able to do as a result? This will be your motivation for the days ahead! Maintainers, dig deep. Think about mental, physical (yes, Rose, I'm thinking about your push ups ), emotional outcomes you are still working on despite being at goal.

For me, I want to be able to:
1. Run a half. I need to get back into my running groove. I had friends ask me to run one with them in Feb., and it stunk to tell them "there's no way I'd be ready"
2. Get through the holidays this year without adding weight to have to switch from maintainer to loser again, like I did this year. Same things applies to vacations, stressful times, etc.
3. Be able to say in 20, 30, 40 years that I am still a maintainer, and NEVER put it back on! I want to run with my grandkids!
4. Be satisfied with how I look.
5. Set an example for my girls on a healthy lifestyle.

Well, I didn't finish cleaning last night, so I was up at 5 to get it done before church. I ended up getting Brad to hang pictures I bought frames for last Mother's Day, and have been sitting ever since, and we were doing that until midnight! Off to mop my kitchen! Have a great day! I don't know how much I'll be able to check in today with the fam here, so take care of each other for me!

I thought this was a great list! I had to smile at the pushup comment--I still can't do 10 regular pushups!

QOTD:
1. 10 push-ups. (Regular ones, I can do tons of knee push-ups.
2. A sub 2 hour half. I actually think I might be able to do this, but I'm probably a year away still.
3. To continue to maintain, while still evaluating my progress and whether or not I am as healthy as I can be.

1. I want to run the Disney half, and princess half.
2. I want to have my skin removal surgery.
3. I want to find a fulfilling and happy relationship.

That's a nice list.

QOTD Sunday-

When I reach my goal I hope to:

1. like clothes shopping again.
2. be able to run even faster (my goal is middle of the pack)
3. run a warrior dash (my friend is doing this in june but I dont think I will be
ready this year)
4. Live another 60 years

Have a great day!

Lindsay--I still wouldn't say I like clothes shopping--because stuff is so expensive. But I LOVE that if I don't buy something now, it's because I don't like it and not because it doesn't fit! It has made it a lot more fun.

Some of my goals

1. To run any Disney race and a 5K in my hometown area
2. Wear a single digit clothes size
3. Start trying for a baby!!!

Another great list!

TTFN

Tracey, you always make me smile!
Are you all thinking about running W&D for this year? We are debating between W&D again and the DL half--it's on my birthday this year and we would get a coast to coast medal. I do love going to WDW for W&D. While they don't have the best vegetarian choices, they do have some fabulous grown-up drinks!

Just a reminder to those folks that haven't turned in their weights yet, PLEASE include your TEAM NAME! We want to keep Tracey smiling!

Hope everyone is having a great Sunday!

 

[cclovesdis]

Sorry your feeling stressed CC and the worst is when you dont have a specific reason. I hope you feel better soon.

Thanks! The weekend has been okay to good, but definitely not great.

Glad you got your run in!

CC, I get this. I really do. Try to shift your thinking to "I have to perfect at STOPPING A BINGE, not continuing one! Seriously, you have been so wonderful and supportive, you need to really be proud of what a wonderful person you are, and DON'T LET ANYONE TELL YOU any differently! Got it? With your attitude, the personal trainer might just be a good thing, you would never skip an appointment with someone! Did you ever get that massage? My HH points are coming, promise!

Thanks! The bolded part is a great idea! I will definitely be repeating that in my head nonstop in hopes that it will stick. I had the massage almost 3 weeks ago. I have one scheduled for this Wed. too. I spend time in all sorts of positions at work, I really do need it. Plus, it's a great opportunity to relax! Great point about the personal trainer. I'll be heading to the gym tomorrow (I hope) to work out and ask some questions. I am planning to do some walking on the treadmill and then restart C25K next week.

Got your HH points!

Think about mental, physical (yes, Rose, I'm thinking about your push ups ), emotional outcomes you are still working on despite being at goal.

1. I want to be able to run at least 5K outside.
2. I want to run in and finish a 5K race.
3. I want to feel confident in whatever it I'm wearing, including a bathing suit.

Great QOTD! Hope Sophie is having a great day today!

I just want stay health andin my weight range. No big asperations. I've been blessed to not need any medications to maintain good health and I want that to continue into old age. I also want to avoid those extra 10 lbs every decade. I'm certainly in much better shape at 41 than I was at 27 or 33 so it's good so far

 

[ReAnSt]

Thank you for all of the suggestions. I need to be careful about having too much food on hand or I may just eat it unnecessarily. Although I am much better about that then previously.

I want to run a half marathon before my 30th birthday. I want to get a Coast to Coast medal. I want to one day run a full marathon. I would like to do a triathlon. Everytime I have thought about or started training for a half marathon I have had non-weight related medical issues. So given that I am kind of afraid to sign up for it as I am afraid what might happen to me. I need to sign up and do a 5k before I sign up for the half.

I want to be able to go into a store and be able to fit into whatever I would like to purchase. This is a pipe dream as even when I could shop in a normal store most things were too short but I did have more options then I currently do. Who has a tall plus size store?

I want to feel comfortable to be able to walk around in a bathing suit, if I find one long enough. lol I always find myself covering up as soon as I get out of the pool. Bathing suit length is and will always be my nemesis. But once I get myself at a consistent weight I would splurge on a custom made suit that fits properly.

I want to be able to do regular push ups and pull ups.

I hope you all had a wonderful; weekend of healthy choices. If not hop right back on tomorrow.

Hey all, sorry I have been busy the past couple of days, but will send my weight tomorrow morning. Not sure how good I did this week, I feel like I am eating a lot less, but still not totally excluding some of my fav things (like I got the Weigth Watchers Smart ones brownie ala mode). Wish I could find some sweet treats that aren't full of crabs and calories.

Is the morning really the best time to weigh yourself anyway?

I know you meant carbs, but I was LOL here

Have you tried mixing a Chobani yogurt into some fresh fruit. That satisfies my cravings for 3 Pts. I've done blueberries, strawberries, sliced peaches with peach yogurts, blueberries, rasperries and peaches with rasberry yogurt, and a few other variations.

 

[mommyof2Pirates]

Taryn here is the link to this years warrior dash that my friend is doing.

http://www.warriordash.com/register2011_pennsylvania.php

I had a great day and overall did well with my eating. I did have a small piece of cake but its my bday cake so i needed to have at least a small piece. I have off tomorrow and I hope it is a relaxing day. It will start by getting the boys to the dentist at 730am but otherwise nothing else planned.

them darn crabs they are everywhere lol
I will have to try the raspberries w/ the yogurt. I love strawberries and peaches but if they are not in season they taste pretty nasty. Making winter so hard for me to diet lol, at least in the summer I could get some nice fresh fruit.

 

[tigger813]

Close to tears here....my beloved Patriots are struggling and my cousin just posted that her Uncle may have jumped off a bridge yesterday in NY! Had mental issues and checked himself out of a mental hospital! SO sad!!!!! I don't know him but not happy when my family is suffering. My mom called her sister to find out details! God Bless Gerry!

Eaten too much tonight and drank too much. Hoping the wellness center is open tomorrow so I can get a jump on the week! I drank my sample this morning! Will have to clean up after everyone leaves and I'm afraid to say it may be a very sad night in Patriot nation tonight! Can't believe this!!!! I want to cry!

I've been buying frozen sliced peach (no sugar added) as well as frozen strawberries and raspberries. I put them in a tupperward container in the morning and they've thawed nicely by 10ish. I add my yogurt and have a nice healthy snack.
