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

[pipersmom]

Leen- That is SO awesome!! You should be soooo proud of yourself!

Bree- Good luck on the 5K today..I am sooooo not a runner, my joke used to be the that the only time I run is when something carnivorous is chasing me! I have a lot of admiration for people who can do it.

Aimee- Thank you for the good wishes, I've been cutting back on the coffee, and I think it was the lack of caffeine!

So busy day here yesterday & today, it's Piper's birthday party since she'll be at her Dad's for the actual party. Had to make her cake yesterday ( I managed not to lick the frosting, but caught myself about to more times than I could count!) and get the other stuff ready. We're having a putt-putt golf outing, McDonald's, and then cake back home.

On the exercise front I've been horrible this week, but just found out the park pool is opening, which happens some years, and some years it doesn't! (We live in a "up-scale" trailer park..LOL). With the pool open I'll go back to lap swimming..hooray!

Today is going to be harder food-wise with the Mickey D's and cake, but will just try to take it one thing at a time and make good choices!

Tracking for yesterday-
Breakfast- Jimmy Dean D-Lite english muffin sammie.
Lunch- RF PB & J on sammie thin.
Dinner- Salad w/ chicken breast & FF cheddar, FF Catalina, 2 pizza rolls.
Snacks- WW ice cream bar, string cheese.

Cals- 1094 (1230-1580)

Tracking June 4

Breakfast:
-1 small porkchop with fat trimmed (cooked in nonstick skillet with no extra fat added)
-1 egg (cooked in nonstick skillet with no extra fat added)
Lunch:
-1 small lemon pepper flavored chicken breast(about the size of a deck of cards)
-1 c green beans(very well seasoned)
-small side salad with at least 1c of lettuce and a tiny sprinkle of cheese
-used the full packet of ranch again, I should have only used half because it was a small salad....I thought about going for the fat free ranch but it has like 22 g carbs in it and I am trying to go low carb
Supper/Snack:
-Beef Jerky (while I was out)
-Sugar Free Tang(when I got home)
-2 tblsp whipped cream cheese (has about 60 calories and 6 g fat)(also when I got home)

I didn't get home until 9 something yesterday and I forgot to pack a supper so when I got hungry I went by the gas station and got some beef jerky.....it was very good (jack links teriyaki nuggets). The whole bag had 3 servings but it wasn't very much (and it was only 70 calories per serving.....so I ate the whole bag. But I think that's a fair trade for supper

Anywho, I also went to the gym yesterday afternoon. I did 45 minutes on the elliptical (450 calories burned) and 15 minutes on the treadmill (85 calories burned). That is a total of 535 calories!



June 4, 2010 Done

Veggies Done

Today I have to wash the dogs (meh).....but at least they will be clean. I also have a lot of housework to do. My husband and I just got into Lost and we are going to try to knock out the rest of the first season that we got from the library the other day. Aside from that I am going to the gym today at some point. I made a really good breakfast today that I will post about later.

Good Job everyone!

[gellybean]

A quick WOOOO HOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO for Leen!!!
Those numbers are AWESOME! My A1C is 5.4 !! (high end of normal) So a 6.5 is FAB U LOUS in 5 short months worth of work! (though it probably doesn't feel like short months to you! )

And a GOOD luck to Bree on her run today!!

And a way to go for Dawn who is lower than she's been since the thread started AND stayed within all her ranges yesterday!!!

I'm about to make a mad dash through a shower and dress me and the youngest kid and get the heck out of dodge. I have a day of shopping and Sex and the City and salads planned so I'm super excited! I think it'll do me some good. Get me out of my funk and motivate me again!

Hope everyone is having a fabulous Saturday!!!!

 

[Mndisneygirl]

Hey everyone! Happy Saturday!
Leen - that is great that all your results are so good!! BE PROUD!

Bree - best of luck with running today. I'm in the "need to be chased" group of runners!

Dawn - WOO flippin HOO!!! It's working girl, it's working!!

Gelly - have a great time today! Let us know how you liked the movie.

Tricia - hope your day is less stressful!

Going to go figure out what to have for lunch. I'm sure carrots and broccoli will figure in. A cup of carrots takes me a long time to eat!

Breakfast today:
1 Eng. muffin with 2 Tbsp PB 310 cal
Coffee w/creamer and 1 tsp sugar ??

Where is a good place to figure out what my intake for calories/fat/carbs/protein should be??

 

[pwmitch237]

Wow........
I leave for 5 days, and have 10 pages to read through.....

Anyway: Veggie Challenge, I like it. One thing that I've noticed is: When you are traveling with a group, there's not the best food choices, just the cheapest stuff. Therefore, I found myself wanting to puke at what I had eaten that day. (I made a little food journal chart so I could keep track of it, worked pretty well).

[2_Eagle_Mom]

Busy day yesterday for me. First off commenting on past posts:

Dawn – congratulations on the lowest weight and staying within range. Keep it up! You can do it!!!

Tricia – way to go on the couch to 5 k! Are you walking it or running? I looked at that program a couple of years ago and I thought it looked interesting, but never did anything. Hmmm, maybe I’ll have to take another gander.

How to balance life/school/diet – taking one day at a time. The thing that makes our life easier is when we plan out our weekly menu on the weekend and prep as much as possible when we have the time. Having all the ingredients on hand and not having to think “what am I going to make for lunch/dinner today” makes it so much simpler. Good luck with school – I’m always so impressed with anyone that can do the school/family at the same time.

Lizzyb – Your Papa Murphys description was much better explanation than the one that I would have given. I like the gourmet veggie as well, but usually order the Hawaiian since no one else in the house likes it and I get to eat it all myself!! (over a period of a couple of days).

Aimee – Congrats on joining the Y. Your’s sounds WAY nicer than mine. I’d take a cardio class if I could watch a movie at the same time. My goal this weekend is to take my measurements and then search the web for a swimsuit that will contain the girls. I tried some suits on last week and I fit into a size 16 but the cups they runnith over if you know what I mean. I have a couple of websites that I’ll check out and let you know if I’m successful. I agree, I’m tired of worrying about how I might look to the 90 year olds or the toddler moms that are in the pool.

Sheree – Congratulations on 10lbs!!! I’m sorry your still having issues with your sinus’, but hopefully the massage was able to work on some of your knots. I get them in the same place and whenever I can get someone to beat them up it hurts but it feels SO good! Way to go taking care of yourself and woo hoo on tracking! Check out SparkPeople to calculate your calories. It’s really easy!

Leen – Way to go girl!!! Great results!

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.

I totally agree. I hope one day to meet all of you. For me its only been a short time on this thread but it has really helped me knowing that I'm not alone and that I can vent/celebrate with you all and you'll totally know how I'm feeling.

Megan - Have a great trip! San Diego is beautiful, I'm going to be taking my mom to visit her 94 year old sister down there later in the month, only I don't have a trip to DL planned. I'm jealous! Tell us all about the new Summer Nighttastic shows.

Amanda - please wish Piper a happy birthday for me. Good job staying away from the icing - that's a tough one for me, somehow my fingers just get all messy and the only way to get them clean is to have a little taste.

Friday was crazy busy for me. Went to work but had to take an extended lunch to go to Steven's school (as school for adults with disabilities) and watch their production of Mamma Mia. It was very interesting - they had a narrator tell the story and the students would then perform the songs. It was quite touching and funny at times. Steven's girlfriend played the daughter in a couple of songs (they switch up the parts depending on the song and how much the student can do) and he was video taping the entire performance for her. I then had to run back to work so I didn't get to see anyone after the performance. Jim then picked me up from work and we went out to dinner before going to see a concert. It was a tribute concert to Harry Chapin by his brother Steve, Big John and other family members. Dinner was FANTASTIC and I made some good choices (hard to track, but I did my best) the concert was good, but they only played a handfull of Harry's songs mixed in with thier own stuff. It was good, just not what we expected.

Food log for June 4

Breakfast - Raisin bran w/1% milk
Lunch - Turkey subway sandwich with baked lays
Dinner - sourdough bread w/balsamic vinegar, bruscetta, minestrone soup, 1/2 serving linguini with meat sauce, 3/4 of ONE cream puff - LOTS of water

Total (est) 1505 (goal 1270 - 1620)

June 4 DONE - Veggie DONE

I'm off to take my mom shoe shopping - hope everyone has a fantastic weekend!

 

[eliz991]

Sorry I've been absent from around here folks! I've just been busy doing other things.

And to...ugh, I'm sorry, I'm AWFUL with names - anyway, you were asking about the bugg and being a paraplegic and I don't think gelly or I answered you. Truthfully I don't know but I think it would work fine - it works off heart rate and body heat and a bunch of other things in addition to movement. I would email them and ask, although I'm sure since they are trying to sell the things they would be inclined to say it would work - but who knows, maybe they've actually done studies or something.

Ratatouille recipe for those who asked along with my changes noted:

Ratatouille au gratin, makes 4 servings (BIG servings, sometimes WW has teeny servings). Per 1 Cup serving 191 cal, 8 grams fat, 2 g sat fat, 5 mg chol, 708 mg sodium, 27 g carb, 6 fiber, 7 g protein, 170 mg calcium. 4 points.

I find WW recipes pretty bland so I would say season to your taste.

Ingredients for shopping list: olive oil, 1 large onion, 2 cloves garlic, 1 yellow pepper, 1green bell pepper, 1 medium eggplant, 1 medium zucchini, 1 14 oz can diced tomatoes, 1 c tomato juice, basil, oregano, thyme, grated parmesan cheese, plain breadcrumbs.

Heat a large (really, use your big one) nonstick skillet over medium heat. swirl in 4 teaspoons olive oil, then add 1 large onion, chopped (not diced, you want this all to be chunky), and 2 garlic cloves, minced (I double the garlic and use the kind that comes in a jar). Cook, stirring occasionally, until fragrant, about 2 minutes.

Add 1 yellow and 1 green pepper, cut into 1/2 inch strips (I think they are trying to avoid having all the veggies the same shape but DH prefers me to chop the peppers into chunks). Also add 1/2 cup of water; cook, stirring frequently, until water has (mostly) evaporated and peppers are wilted (or, if you're me, wait 5 minutes and decide the stupid things are wilted enough!)

Add 1 medium (1.25 pound) eggplant, peeled and chopped (I personally don't know why it has to be peeled, but your choice) and 1 medium (8 oz) zucchini, chopped. (I also added 2 portabello mushroom caps, chopped, at this point because DH wanted something a little meatier-textured in it). Add another 1/2 cup water; cook, stirring, until liquid is evaporated and veggies wilted (again, I just did it for 5-6 minutes until most of the water was gone. I don't know what a wilted eggplant would even look like).

Add 1 can of diced tomatoes, with juice, 1 C tomato juice (we don't drink tomato juice so I used spicy bloody mary mix and I personally think that is the secret to this being good), 1 teaspoon each dried basil, oregano, thyme; and salt and pepper to taste (I also added Mrs. Dash extra spicy and I don't measure spices but if you do I would probably double these amounts).

Cook, stirring occasionally (I guess they figure you are tired of stirring), until liquid has (mostly) evaporated and veggies are tender, 15-20 minutes (I do 20 and about 10 minutes in I swear you will start questioning how you are going to feed this to anyone because it looks like, well, crap).

Meanwhile, preheat broiler. Spray shallow baking dish (I do a 9x13) with nonstick spray. Transfer veggie mixture to dish. Combine 1/4 C freshly grated parmesan cheese and 1/4 c plain dried breadcrumbs (I used seasoned because that's what we had) in a bowl and sprinkle the mixture over the ratatouille (screw messing up another bowl, I just sprinkled them on separately). Broil 5 inches from the heat (or wherever your oven rack is) until top is golden brown, 2-3 minutes. Sprinkle with parsley if you want to be fancy (who are we kidding, I make instant grits, I skipped the parsley).

Hope you enjoy! I will do food for yesterday and today in my next post.

 

[eliz991]

Friday food (I'm in a hurry so I'm not separating out meals, just doing totals):

one bagel thin with WW whipped cream cheese and 1 slice ham
1 cup OJ (still have stupid cold)
1 munchkin and 1/4 strawberry frosted donut (stupid national donut day!)
1 slice sourdough bread (very carby morning!)

last of the ratatouille and 100 cal oreo cakesters

3 triscuits, 100 cal pack cheese, tootsie pop

4 oz tenderloin, 2 bites of beef rice-a-roni, 1 ear of corn, 1 bottle of wine

Total calories: 1987; burn 2415

Friday, June 4 DONE! Veggies DONE!

Saturday:

I have my bugg off for now and may not put it back on today, I was at 1055 calories around noon, which is average I'd say. waiting for DH to get back from the gym so we can go to the pool (I'm not a member of the gym any more if you're wondering why I didn't go - long story. But I did weed and clean the patio this morning).

B: Whataburger sausage, egg, and cheese taquito; hash brown sticks; OJ = 840 calories. Are you kidding me? I"m starting to be glad we usually sleep through breakfast! DH got us each 2 taquitos but we didn't realize how big they were so we saved the other 2 for tomorrow. In college I could eat 2-3 of these, easy.

Hmm...light lunch, probably a big salad to get my veggies in ~ plus I'm still full from breakfast! Don't know what we're doing tonight but not too much drinking, we have matinee tickets to go see Avenue Q tomorrow.

 

[stayhomemom77]

Hello friends!! Isn't is a gorgeous day??

Congrats to Leen!!! That's an accomplishment worth celebrating.

Congrats to Dawn!!! Isn't is just so lovely when the scale is being nice to you??

Bree...I hope you did great in your race. Thanks for the WW input regarding points. I guess I just figured that starvation mode takes a lot longer to kick in. My goal for this coming week is to eat all the regular daily points for sure so I'm hoping to see that reflected on the scale.

I've had to live without a printer for two weeks and hubby was able to resurrect it again last night!! Hooray!! Also, the car salesman called today while we were in Chatham at the birthday party and left a message telling us that our payments should be going down as the interest rate on our car loan is dropping.


Let's celebrate our achievements this week!!



So thanks to you guys, I'm totally addicted to Lost now. I studiously avoided it for YEARS but hubby and I never actually watch tv...our computer is hooked up to the big screen television so we just download stuff and watch them commercial free at our leisure.

Well we just finished Star Trek TNG and were going to begin Voyager but it's taking forever to download so hubby suggested Lost and I hesitantly agreed. I mean if my posse says it's great, then it must be great, right?? Now I can't get enough. We haven't quite finished the first season but we've been watching it for a week now and I'm totally hooked.

Aimee...how was the SATC weekend with your girlies?? Was it all you hoped for and more??

I just realized that I've been back from the World for a month with no firm plans to return in the near future.

Also, I need some love over at my TR...I don't think anyone is reading and if they are...they're just lurking cause no one's commenting. I'm feeling neglected...please come and comment if you have some free time. I need to feel special <sniff, sniff>

Well that isn't going to do itself!! Hope you all have a great night!!

 

[zoegirl]

Julie - way to go on the lower car payment. Anything helps these days doesn't it? Post a link to your TR, I'll read it, & I'm sure others will too.

Aimee - I'm also interested in how SATC was. Hopefully you'll have a fun GNO to report.

Dawn - girlfriend, WAY TO GO on the weight loss. You're doing so awesome with your exercising & eating healthier. Keep up the good work. And where are those mohawk pics of Baylor???

Had a good day today. Didn't do all that I planned but it was still good. My 5k was fun. Ran with a dear friend & her daughter who was running with her cross country team (did that make sense?). She did fantastic & we had a great time running, even though it felt like the surface of the sun at 7:30am. My rock hard body BF & her husband ran too, & he finished the darn thing in 18:59, that's like a 6 minute mile. GEEEEEZ! I like to think I get more mileage for my $$$

Went to Lucas' last soccer game of the season and he received his first little trophy. I'll post a pic for ya'll to see. I'm so proud of my little guy for playing his first sport at 3 years old.

Didn't get to the pool today but hopefully I will tomorrow.

Here's what I ate today.
brkfst: banana, coffee w/creamer
lunch: chick-fil-a original sammie w/side salad, Tb ranch dressing
snack:chips n salsa (will not be making anymore this week, it gets me in trouble)
dinner:5 guys little burger, 1/4 serving of fries.

I feel gross after eating what I did today. Again I will state that I am in a free fall with the eating and plan to start counting my WW points again Monday after a two week break.

Read fast and realized I forgot to post the link to the pics of the mohawk. Sorry!

BTW - I posted a new challenge for the TR today! Gift goes to the winner!

Had a fabulous day today with Dan. walked around a quaint town and shopped and found a store that strictly sells olive oil and balsamic vinegar blends. It was Italian heaven and literally there are 34 kinds.

Great way to use infused oils and reduce sauces in pasta dishes or marinades. EVOO goes farther and with the right spices...yummmo!

Hitting the hay now - tired but will catch up with everyone tom!

 

[Mndisneygirl]

OOOH, Dawn, you HAVE to tell me where that shop was. I have a guess because my boss mentioned one, but now you must confirm!

I want to pat myself on the back. I just sat through three hours of dress rehearsals for dance and had no food. Then we took the kids to Dairy Queen for "dinner". It was almost 7:00. They got hot dogs, fries and ice cream cones. I sat and watched them eat. Didn't have ONE BITE!! The food took about 15 minutes to get and the whole time I kept thinking, if I have to sit here any longer and wait, I'm ordering something! So I got out my phone, punched up the Eticket App and perused the DIS boards!

Today:
B: English muffin 120 cal
2 Tbsp peanut butter 190 cal (!!)
coffee w/ creamer and 1 tsp sugar - ?

L: 10 goldfish crackers ~30 cal?
WW cheese wedge - 1pt (don't have the pkg anymore so I don't know calories I kind of remember about 35)
4 pieces celery (1/2 cup)
1/2 c. carrots
Tuna salad - 1/2 cup 125 cal
Sandwich thin - 100 cal
1 slice american cheese - 70 cal

D: 1/2 c. greek yogurt - 160 cal
1/4 c. strawberries
2 Tbsp grape nuts

1 can v-8 35

still might have some popcorn tonight (probably not) It would be 100 calories.
So I need to do the calorie counts for my fresh fruits and veggies. Have to look that stuff up. But I'm starting to pay more attention now. Looks like around 900 calories for the stuff that I counted, so I think I'm probably in range on that.

I see a lot of you eat the Greek or Oikos(sp?) yogurt. Whats so special about it? One of my coworkers was talking about it the other day. She rambles so much, though, that after a couple minutes I just tune her out so I totally missed what she said

I like the greek yogurt because it is thick and creamy. I buy one that is in the organic section and is honey flavored. It is not the fat free one. I think it tastes much better than the Yoplait flavored stuff even though I still buy that too. I honestly don't know if it's healthier but two people I know who are really healthy eaters told me about it, so I guess it might be! It's a bit pricier too. I buy a larger container of it, mix in some fruit or granola and it's like a little parfait!

By the way - did you sleep late today? It looked like breakfast for your lunch! JK! I'm just jealous if you did. I never get to sleep past 7 around here.

 

[pwmitch237]

Hello to all,
Food Tracking time!!! (haha, no excitement...)
Proud of myself for eating good today, despite last week's junk.
