When Did I Get Voted Off of Skinny Island & Why is This Fat Shadow Stalking Me?

[tlenzendorf]

First day back at work all week yesterday. I got suckered into eating out(I have a hard time saying no), but I didn't eat as bad as normal.

Breakfast: 1 bowl Blueberry Frosted Mini Wheats

Lunch: Noodles Inc, 1 SMALL(instead of large) bowl buttered noodles with parm. crusted chicken, 1 Activia w/Fiber yogurt, WATER(no soda)

Dinner: Small serving of rice and corn, Taco salad with lots of lettuce, burger taco meat, small amount of cheese, taco sauce, FF sour cream and 1 crunched up hard shell, 1 soft shell taco and 1 hard shell only

Lots of water all day

June 3 DONE
Veggies DONE

Then after I cleaned up I started week 2 of Couch to 5k. I didn't find week 1 hard and now I'm not finding week 2 hard either. I'm hoping to be ready for a 5k for July 4th that we signed up for as a group from work.

I have never had this pizza which you speak of Castaways. Why is it lite and why is it sooooo good and how many calories/fat/crabs are we usually talking?

Papa Murphy is a chain of take and bake pizza. You go in and either order off the menu or create your own combination of crust, sauce, toppings, they prepare it for you, then you take it home and bake it. I find that their ingredients are very fresh and flavorful as well as offering toppings not typically found elsewhere. (I don't recall seeing zucchini at Papa John's or Dominos!) And since you're baking it yourself, you're paying a lot less for that quality. No delivery, but some locations have drive thru.

As far as why it is light, I think the biggest thing is that all of the Lite pizzas are on a thin crust. As well, many of them have a "creamy garlic sauce" instead of a traditional red sauce. The veggie which I spoke of is spinach, mushroom, tomato, I add onions, cheese, and the garlic sauce on the thin crust for 160 calories, 9g fat, 13g carbs per slice. (The same pizza on regular crust is 270/11/30.) Next time I'll order the Gourmet Vegetarian which has all of the above plus zucchini and artichoke hearts for the same fat & calories, and actually 1g less carb.

We have them in MN - I usually make pizza's so was curious what they put on it - gives me ideas. I might have to try one in the next few weeks. Thanks for the info!

Yeah, we usually make our own when it's just the three of us (in fact, we are tonight!), but when we've got a larger group we'll often pick up Papa Murphey instead.

[tlenzendorf]

Wow! I'm impressed with everyone's losses! Way to go ladies and 2 guys

I'm a little worried about how to balance diet/exercise/life/school right now. I am starting to take my pre-reqs for nursing and I am already feeling overwhelmed. Class doesn't start until Monday and I've started working ahead and I'm nervous.

 

[gellybean]

Congrats everyone on this week's losses and our awesome total!!


School ended here yesterday! I think I was more excited than DS7 was. We went and joined the Y after school was out. I am SUPER STOKED about this. There's lot of cool things to do and so many more options than our old gym . The coolest thing, other than the pool which DS7 is already registered for swimming lessons, is the movie theater cardio room. Tons of ellipticals, recumbant bikes and tread mills in a dark theater with surround sound and a big movie screen. You know where I'll be. Plus they have a women's only area upstairs with all the same equipment as in the main workout area, so that's good.

I bought some protein shake powder to try to supplement some of my meals with. There are times I don't want to eat, but eat because I need to and and then the cals just snowball. So I'm gonna try the shakes some this week while DS7 is in California and see how it goes.

We went out after school for ice cream and again last night for dinner to celebrate the last day of school. I made some good choices and some not so good choices.

Breakfast-
1 scoop protein powder 110 cals
1 cup 2% milk 120

Lunch-
1/2 of DS2 kid's meal poprcorn chicken from DQ 317 cals (which means that kids meal is 634 cals )
Diet DP ( I love their vanilla regular DPs so this was a big thing for me)
Skipped the ice cream

Dinner -
Medium Queso with 1 tbsp guac, 1 tsbp of taco meal then split 4 ways
chips

1 chicken soft taco, 1 chicken tostado (NO BEANS NO RICE NO CHEESE NO ENCHILADAS etc BIG SUCCESS for me)

1/4th of tres leches cake (not such a success but it's DS7 fave and I kept fussing at him to eat more of it so I wouldn't eat more than my share! )


Thursday, June 3 DONE


So far today

Breakfast/Lunch -
1 scoop protein shake powder 110 cals
1 cup 2% milk 120 cals
2 tbsp pb (overestimate) 190 cals
1 pack Jello Mousse pudding 60 cals

480 cals total


This was majorly yummy. I am going to try to make it again with less pb (though I think 2 tbsp was more than I really put in, used a regular kitchen spoon instead of measuring. DOH! I know better than that.) and with skim milk or water. Since the powder is dairy based anyway and with adding the mousse cup, I don't think I'd miss the milk. Still a work in progress. I had it 2 hours ago and I'm still not hungry. Chewing gum for the tactile sensation of eating.

Heading out of town for the day tomorrow, to meet my BFF to finally see SATC2. Gonna look up Panera locations before I head that way so we have a game plan for lunch/dinner. My sister is going with me, as well as DS2.

Staring the Y on Monday!! I really wanna try a spinning class but I'm scared. I've been doing the bike for 45 mins a time for the last 3 months. But that doesn't necessarily mean I'm ready for a spin class. They have an introduction to spinning for beginners but it's not a full class, just an orientation. From what I can tell, the classes are all the same 'level' of fitness.

Anybody have any experiences with starting a spinning class? Do I need to make sure I can do certain things on the bike or cardio wise before attempting one?

Gonna get myself in that pool this summer, if it kills me. I'm tired of not enjoying things I like doing because of the way I look. May need to find a more concealing swimsuit though. I swear I nearly pop out of every bathing suit I own.


Gonna go quote you guys and catch up!!

everybody!

 

[PixiePlanner]

Eat 2 cups of veggies every day for seven days in a row!

I can do this! 2 cups! Do potatoes count?

June 3
3 cups of Romaine salad for lunch
1 cup of salad w/ tomatoes w/ dinner

June 4, 5, 6 & 7 I will track on Monday. Home PC is still on the fritz. Not in the budget currently to fix or replace.

Have a wonderful weekend everyone!

 

[gellybean]

Alright, I'm done complaining. I'll be back later to track for today. I guess I should eat something so I actually have something to write down.

Welcome to the newbies and I hope everyone has a healthy, productive day!!

Hope things settle for you Julie!! Weren't y'all at the Detroit Tigers game where the guy nearly got the no hitter, except for the controversial call? Or am I smoking bananas??

First, I have not been on the boards a lot lately. Dawn and I want to accomplish this journey together to give each other support. So, I will be posting more.

back Dan! Glad to have you posting again!!

Thanks for the welcomes

I just wanted to share that there was baked ziti and chocolate cake in the cafeteria today........but I got the chicken salad instead. I did get the regular packet of ranch dressing to go with it instead of the fat free but I think I will come out ahead in the end (calories wise).

making great choices!!!

Plus, my A/C just died on Monday and the service guy came out and said the part has to be special ordered. It still hasn't come in yet! Ugh!

But once the results come out, I'll share it good or bad.

My A/C going out is one of my biggest fears, house breaking wise! Hope it gets fixed soon! I was just sitting here thinking that I need to get a box fan or something to get me through the heat of the day so I'm not constantly kicking my air down!

I know your anxious about your results! I would be too!! Can't wait to hear how awesome you've done!!

Not sure.....I have done weight watchers for a while(5 years) but i am trying to get away from pts. Do you have a suggestion for a website to find the recommended amount of calories? Right now I am just trying to go with low carb.

There's also live strong . com. Their daily plate program I really enjoyed. Some people use fat secret or my fitness pal.

Hi everyone! Sorry I haven't been around in 2 weeks, but it has been quite a ride. We finally officially opened Big River last night so I have days off now while I run the show at night. I can finally get back to working out, eating better, and posting here. It appears I have a lot to catch up on so I'd better get to it.

I will say, this is the best I have ever done, weight wise, through a rehearsal/tech process. I actually lost weight, which is amazing!!! And it showed. The dress I wore last night for opening was a dress I haven't been able to get into for 2 years. I also know that I have officially dropped a size because I went shopping and tried on a dress that I thought would be too small, but wasn't! Yay!!!!

getting into a smaller size dress and staying on track through a rehearsal/tech process!! So proud of you!!

Hi All!!

I am just checking in to say hello.

I have fallen off the wagon. Hard.

I can 100% attribute it to not utilizing my support group - you ladies!!

Last week was hectic - the boss was in town and overall we were busy in the evenings as well. This week has been busy too, but now it is more of an excuse.

Anyway, I slipped a little so I was embarrassed to come on the board. It is hard to read about how well everyone else is doing when you know you are not doing well at all.

I am just in a funk and need to get up, dust myself off and get going again.... but.....well, you all know how hard that is.

So, baby steps are in order. Today I am journalling again (1st time in a week) and I have psted here again (also 1st time in 10 days or so).

Bear with me. I am officially a Work In Progress!!

Amy

Welome back Amy!! I had a rough weekend last weekend and a few days this week that weren't stellar. But I'm not giving up on myself and neither should you! WAY to come back and get the ball rolling again!!!! Glad you're back! We are all works in progress!!

I learned something at the gym today....I am so no coordinated enough to do the step cardio class!!!

My fear exactly!!!!

Just a quickie and then I'm off for bed, my head is splitting!

Hope you're feeling better!!

Morning!!


Liz - girl I hear you on the instant grits. I am a deep in my core tried & true southerner & I'm not cleaning the pot that regular grits were made in. So instant it is

My husband makes grits the old fashioned, long way. And I'm the one that ends up cleaning the pot!!!!!! I think if he had to clean his own $%@#^ pot he'd think twice!

Great news: I am able to function today. I am heading to the Y for water aerobics this morning and will walk tonight/today because of course Tuesday Aunt Flo came and it was the start of the Lazy Man and due to circumstances beyond my control, I have not done any biking or walking for 2 days. June 1st I did do water aerobics before the fun started so I have 1 of the 3 days of the swimming portion met. I can't remember how many miles 3 classes of water aerobics equaled but it amazes me if it is the same in calories out, how proud I am of those darn classes!

I weighed in this morning and I was down again. BTW - I really wonder how many calories when I was eating oblivious I was putting away!

Glad you're feeling better and woo hoooooooooo for being down again!!!! Oblivious eating is the DEVIL!

At least I wasn't the one who fell down - it was the INSTRUCTOR!

That's classic! And would make me feel lots better!

Ha I totally forgot about the challenge. I guess thats what happens when life gets busy! Here was our challenge at work for our last week of our 6 week fitness program:

Eat 2 cups of veggies every day for seven days in a row!

I'm gonna hold off on this one. Some days I'm sure I'll blow it out of the water but some days I won't come close, and with doing the shakes some, I dunno how it's all gonna work out. But I will keep an eye on my veggie intake more. I might be making 2 cups more often than I think I am.

Don't beat yourself up about the McD's Aimee. I hope you like the Y, they usually have so much to offer.

Thanks for the encouragment Bree!! It's more the habit of it that I was frustrated with. Once a month is one thing, once to twice a week, can't happen. For me and my eating temptations I mean!

I think I will like the Y! I'm excited about it!

I can do this! 2 cups! Do potatoes count?

Have a wonderful weekend everyone!

@ potatoes. What bout corn and peas?? Are we talking Atkins phase 1 veggies here or what?

You have a great weekend too!!!!!!

 

[stayhomemom77]

Ahhh!! Had a great night's sleep last night and a good (although busy) day today. Don't you just love it when you are productive all day. I'm so busy I hardly have time to eat so my meals tend to be small.

The downside is that I haven't lost a thing yet so far this week which is disappointing but hubby thinks it might be because I've been quite low on points and my body doesn't know what to do about it. I hope he's right and in an effort to correct that, I'm aiming to eat all my daily points for the remainder of the weekend.

Picked up the new car a couple of hours ago and ran errands in it all afternoon. LOVE IT!! Will post pictures hopefully Monday.

Why yes, Aimee...I WAS at that controversial Tigers game in fact. Here's a banana...please don't smoke it.



That umpire never made a correct call all night by the way. You should have heard the booing after that call though...it was terrible. I didn't boo, I think it's extremely rude myself but my dad next to me was going at it heartily. I felt really bad for the ump. I thought it was classy that he went to apologize in the locker room to the pitcher after the game.

It sounds like you have a fun time with your BFF lined up. Have a great time. I'm glad you are planning your meals ahead of time. Good for you!!

School isn't out here until the end of the month. I can't wait!!

Dang...gotta get supper on. Will post my daily totals later.

 

[Mndisneygirl]

Okay, I'm a day late, but here's Thursday:

B: 1 mini bagel with p.b.
Cocoa/coffee/creamer (My own little concoction full of sugar!)

L: 1c. greek yogurt, 1/4c granola, 1/2 c strawberries
1 c. carrots

snack: 1 Hershey's mini special dark

D: rotisserie chicken (1/2 c?), 1/4 c. lipton rice mix

Snack: 5 Four Cheese flavored Cheezit crackers - 30 cal!

JUNE 3 DONE


So far today I've had
Life cereal with skim and blueberries
1/2 of a yellow pepper
a Luna bar (180 cal)

It's not official until Monday's weigh-in but as of today I hit the 10 pund mark. Today is also the last Friday I have off with kids still in school. So to reward myself, I got a massage. Oh it felt so good! I have huge knots at my neck/shoulders and they just kill me! But I'm usually way too cheap to spend that kind of $$ on myself. I still have a nasty sinus headache and should go lay down, but I actually wrote down what I ate, so I wanted to post for once! Now my next job is to get on one of those sites and figure out calories etc. baby steps...

 

[stayhomemom77]

Okay here's today's totals:

B-oatmeal and 1 cup strawberries
L-chicken noodle soup, cheese and chicken breast on english muffin, baby carrots
D-swiss chalet:chicken breast without skin, white roll, 1/4 cup chalet sauce and side order of fries
S-two point treat (either 2 ww cookies or a frozen yogurt bar)

Whew!! I'm stuffed. Low amount of fruits and veggies today. It ended up being a hefty day due to the fries (12 points!!) but I have enough points left over for a 2 point treat so if I'm not too full in a couple of hours, I'll indulge.

June 4th done!!

And yesterday...

B-egg and cheese on an english muffin
L-chicken noodle soup, 8 rice crackers, 10 baby carrots, 1 oz marble cheese and 1 oz chicken breast meat
D-carrot and celery sticks, grilled cheese sandwich, 1 cup tomato soup
S-6 cups light microwave popcorn

June 3rd done!!

Tomorrow I have a family function to go to, my nephew's 2nd birthday party. Thankfully, family functions on my side are a breeze since all my sisters and both my parents are dieting. On hubby's side though...it's much more difficult but we don't have another family birthday party until August so I think I'll be okay for a while.

I'm too lazy to go back and check...to whomever was asking about cracker substitutions!!

I too love the salty stuff...chips and crackers but needed something lower in fat and cals. For a while I was eating melba toast but it's pretty tasteless on its own so this week I decided to try rice crackers. My mom has celiac disease and has them all the time and I know they come flavoured so I gave them a shot and I am addicted!!! I can have eight crackers for 1 point and it's the perfect complement to soup, salad, lunch meat, cheese...or just on their own for a snack. I'll be stocking up on these on our next shopping trip so maybe give them a try and see how you like them.

We had another great week last week ladies and gents...lets keep it up for next week!!

 

[Mndisneygirl]

Today:
B: Life cereal, skim milk blueberries
L: 1/2 a yellow pepper
Luna bar (180 cal)
D: 1 c. romaine lettuce
1 Tbsp blue cheese crumbles
1/4 c. chicken
2 Tbsp craisins
10 croutons
1 TBsp low fat dressing - 20 cal.
3/4 c broccoli
1/4 c. carrots

going to drink a couple Mike's hard cranberry tonight too. Need to check the calories - maybe I'll only have one! ETA: checked, there's 222 in each! Maybe I'll limit. GOing to buy the LIght version next time!

June 4 done
VEGGIES DONE!

 

[MulanUSAF]

I just checked my lab results online and the A1C results has been posted! I'm down to 6.5% (was 8% in February)!!! Yippeeee!!! Of course, I'm not out of the woods yet, since A1C for non-diabetics is about 4.5-5.5%. But at least this shows what I have been doing is working! I will be talking to my doctor next week and we'll see what he has to say about it. Previously, he said this was my trial period, and if my A1C doesn't drop with just diet and exercise alone, he had planned to put me on medication. I guess this means no pills for me!

To summarize, since mid February, I have exercised at least 5 days a week, stayed within my diet plan for calories/carb intake 95% of the time, and avoided sugary drinks, junk food, fast food and high glycemic index carbs for the most part. To show for it, I have lost 18 lbs, went from size 14 jeans to size 10, can now run a mile in 9 minutes, and dropped my A1C from 8% (average daily blood glucose of 180 mg/dL) to 6.5% (average of 130 mg/dL). I am going to keep this up so in another 3 months, I'm hoping to get it to drop below 6%. Most of the books I've read about diabetes said if I can maintain my A1C below 6%, I won't have to worry about diabetes complications for a very very long time.

Overall, my blood work is pretty good except for the fact that my total cholesterol went up slightly. I think this may be because I'm eating a lot less carbs, so protein and fat makes up a greater percentage of my caloric intake. It's not in the bad number range yet, but creeping close to the end of the good range. Something to keep an eye on. What kind of sucks is that I can't really eat a bowl of oatmeal every morning to lower cholesterol, because it'll drive my blood sugar sky high. But if I eat low carb, I have to eat more protein/fat in order to get my daily calories. Which means higher cholesterol... sort of a catch-22. But I don't think it's a big issue yet and with all the exercise I'm getting, it may not be that big of a deal in the long run. After all, my blood pressure is perfectly fine at 96/59.

My fellow castaways, I just can't thank you guys enough for all the support, encouragement, help and just simply being there when I need to vent. I can't say that my own parents have been half as supportive as you guys. Even though I have not met any of you in person or even talked with on the phone, I feel like I know you better than many people I see daily at work or school. I look forward to keeping up with all of you on this thread for a long time. Even though it's great to see small victories for myself, it's even better when we share the joys of our triumphs together. So I just want to give you all a big for being the wonderful people you guys are. I'm lucky to have you in my life.

Not the best day today. I was busy working at a church garage sale and had to walk to a fast food place for breakfast and lunch. After that my family always goes out to eat on Friday, and you know how that goes! Not my diet's favorite thing. I think I am going to talk to my fam. and see if they are willing to try going out to eat every other week on Friday instead of every week. I really don't think that's going to go over well.
So I am off to San Diego tomorrow, mom has a meeting with her job and is dragging me along. I am going to shop and sightsee Maybe go to the zoo and on Wednesday we are driving up to disneyland!! Not that I am excited or anything

 

[zoegirl]

First of all HOORAY LEEN!!!! Keep up the good work!

Julie - as a fellow WW participant, I will also tell you to be sure to eat all your allotted points for the day. It seems that when I don't use all of mine, or use my flex points I don't lose as fast ( I only get 22 for the day) also keep in mind you lost quite a bit last week (if I remember correctly) and if you're holding back on food then your body is going into starvation mode and holding on to the fat it needs to survive. Weird as it sounds for some reason with WW eat=lose. Hang in there, you may lose double next week.

Sheree - Wooo Hooo on the 10lbs!!

I ran 7 miles this morning & I thought I was going to pass out it's so freakin hot & humid here. My car read 85 as I was driving home & it was only 10:30am! oy!

I once again feel like I was bitten by the snack attack bug today. I didn't go crazy but I've been munching all day, not really eating meals. Monday i will officially start tracking points again from taking a 2 week break. I feel like I'm in a free fall not keeping track. Funny how much of a habit the tracking has become.

Tonight was movie night for Lucas & I (Greg is working). We watched Beauty & the Beast. Lucas loved it. He MUST be my kid

I'm running a 5k in the morning. Not looking forward to it (see ridiculous heat rant above), going to Lucas' last soccer game of the season & hope to be by the pool with a book in hand after lunch. It's crazy hot but I can deal if i can dip the toes in the pool

Food:
brkfst - greek yogurt w/honey
lunch - whole wheat tortilla w/leftover flank steak & avocado salsa, chips & salsa
supper - popcorn, cut up carrots, celery, & peppers w/hummus. Also some pinto beans & brown rice

June 4 done
Veggies done

question: Can we count salsa as a veg? And it's two cups right?

 

[MulanUSAF]

Leen - we have had a bit of unusual weather in these parts lately haven't we? Hopefully it'll level out soon. Good for you on the swimming. That's one exercise I wish I made more time for.

Hi Bree, I've never noticed your location is in Charlotte! Yay! The weather has cooled down a little bit here (I'm in Chapel Hill), but forecast shows it'll be high 90's again this weekend, with lots of humidity. Ugh!

I love to swim, but hate the whole changing/showering/chlorine smelling hair that goes with it. I've tried swim caps, but they make me feel like my head is shrinking. I'm actually thinking about cutting my hair short to make it easier, but haven't quite summed up the courage to chop off 8 inches or so. Also, I'm blind as a bat without my glasses, so the journey between the locker room and pool is quite interesting to say the least.

My A/C going out is one of my biggest fears, house breaking wise! Hope it gets fixed soon! I was just sitting here thinking that I need to get a box fan or something to get me through the heat of the day so I'm not constantly kicking my air down!

I know your anxious about your results! I would be too!! Can't wait to hear how awesome you've done!!

A/C got fixed today, thank goodness! See my other post for the medical results!

 

[mstinson14]

I've tried swim caps, but they make me feel like my head is shrinking.

Me too! I got a pirm once(never again-didn't work) and I was invited to go to a friend's birthday party at the pool, the only way I could go was to use a swim cap. We finally found one at Target. I put it on and I felt like a total goon. Not only was it tight, but I got laughed at the whole party. Let me just say, that was one of the worst days of my life and refuse to use a swim cap again. Just a story of mine. Sorry if I bored you.
