Hey ladies =) I also, have been going through a bad week. I am sick, AGAIN, I think we keep passing it around at work. It's been hard to eat healthy when all I can even fathom eating is ice cream and rice quakes! Everything else makes me feel queasy! Week end is coming up, hope we all have a good one. I will worry about getting back on track when my fever is under 100 and I can stay awake for more than 2 hours at a time =) |

Hi all, I hope everyone had a nice day! We Had a pretty good one over here. Just busy trying to get moved! (only to the house up the street, lol!) skinnyaw Sounds like you did a great job to me! I love wings myself! YUM =) Running totally earns them! The food list thing is pretty great. On those days I have enough power to say no to the fries... which I like with mayo, btw! It lets me skip cooking, and still keep within my limits! karen I'm amazed by your willpower. If I were at the movies alone (3 kids and a hubby make that highly unlikely) I would have given into the candy. That gigantic 4 or 5 serving box would make itself right at home in my belly. Sometimes it's almost like I think if no one sees it, it doesn't count.
melroze Do you eat the sugar free jellies? I am so in love with the Polaner sugar free seedless red raspberry. At 10 cals a tbsp it's great for days when you'd like something sweet and don't have many calories to spare! Hope everyone has a great week! |

Well, I went to the fair. Thank goodness it only comes once a year! We spent $16 at the concession stand! Didn't even buy a drink! I'm just glad I don't like cotton candy. I did have a caramel apple =/ terrible I know, but at least it has an apple inside.... or that's what I keep telling myself, lol. MELROZE2003- Being a single mom is hard! I know I have a difficult time getting dinner on the table w/ 3 kids and my hubbs help! I couldn't imagine trying to make a healthy meal while chasing around the little ones. I would see many PB&J sandwiches in that situation. Of course I really like those :) How tall are you, if you don't mind my asking. 116 lbs isn't much to weigh ... gotta stay strong to keep up with the kiddies! |

Skinnyaw- Cookies are devilish little things, aren't they?! A few things I do before eating out... check the web site of where I'll be eating to find out what I can fit into my cals for the day. I make my decision then and there and don't even pick up a menu! It's hard to resist all that greasy and cheesy food, but just think about how much better you feel if you do! If you don't know where you will be eating, check out a few of the restaurants in the area. Don't be ashamed to make a list and keep it in your bag or on your cell! I have a small list of foods I keep on my cell in the notepad section. Good luck eating well!! karenbrunke- I like the way you are thinking! Those "clean your plate"days are so long gone. What were are parents thinking? BTW, you can totally eat at BK and keep it lower in cals :) Like a whopper jr. w/o the mayo and ketchup w/ a side salad and ff ranch is 480 cals. If that doesn't fill you up, eat something at the house later. Some veggies and hummus always fill me up! That way you can have your BK meal and still keep your daily cals reasonable! Best diet advice I have ever gotten was "you can say yes to the slice of pie, but you need to say no to the whole pie" haha. Good Luck! |

Weekend is almost here! I hope you are having a good week. How did you do on cals this week? I have eaten a million calories today! The day started well, healthy bfast and lunch... but then .... they were giving me candy at work, as a reward, and I told myself food is not a reward... as I snarfed it down! Then there was the bridge mix I indulged in, the potato soup w/ FULL FAT cheese. I feel downright terrible about myself right now! I sometimes look at the overweight women I see and wonder how they do it. To be so heavy, and yet happy with themselves!?! I wish I had a little bit of that going on for me. Ok, sorry to vent. Just feeling bad, needed to get it out. I'm not going to let this grow into a few bad days. It will be today only! Tomorrow will be a new day =) wish me luck! |

Oh yes, only mine is Friday night. Mainly because Fridays are insane at work, and very tiring. So I don't feel like cooking, we eat some pizza or whichever fast food my hubby and kids want, and then I tell myself it's ok, you deserve that brownie, cake, pie whatever junk I am eyeballing that night. There have been some Fridays where I actually eat my entire days worth of calories for dinner and dessert (1600, well supposed to be=) So I end up well over that 1600 for the day. Which naturally leads to several more bad days, then a few good, then more bad. It really is a terrible cycle!

Funny, I do the same thing. You would think after seeing an undesireable number on the scale it would keep you from the junkie stuff! Quite the opposite! On most days I can find a decent substitute for all the junk I can't seem to live without. Like...60 cal chocolate sticks, shakes made from low cal "milk"and ice, sugar free pudding, homemade low cal desserts..etc.. Other days I find myself going for the ever fattening Ben and Jerry's, brownies carrying 600+ calories (oh so good and oh so bad!) One thing I have tried is pushing back my dessert time. I know all the experts say not to eat late, but if I do a snack at 6:30pm, I will surely have another before bed! So instead I decide what I will have, log it, and then do my house work or whatever until my pre determined snack time. I think it's a good system, when you stick to it! |

Oh, yes. My hands are full! When do you have the most trouble eating healthy? For me it's at night. I'm a junk food junkie! Plus I love to bake, and who can resist tasting all those treats?!? For the most part I eat really well. Tons of fruits and veggies, which is easy for me due to the fact that I'm not a big meat eater. Bleh.

humm, I have 3 kids (10,7,2) and I usually roll out of bed at 5:50 am.... but that probably sounds like sleeping in to you! I'm looking to lose 10 lbs, and was doing well most of the summer, but now... not so much. Today has been my worst day yet. Stupid delicious brownies! I could use someone to check in with from day to day, but later in the night is the only time I can really get online. Good luck in your training BTW. Good for you!

Congrats on your decision to get fit! Sounds like you are getting off on the right foot by using the gym, just don't forget to give yourself a "rest day"and get into a routine you can keep for a long time. Going to the gym everyday this week won't help you in a year from now if you burn yourself out! The only other tip I have to offer is use the food log, and make sure you log EVERY little thing at first. I never even gave a thought to how many daily calories I was consuming in things like katsup and jelly until I joined this site! It works if you work it!
Good Luck! |

Goals for 6/24/09 1. I think this is my daily goal for the time being, eat under 1600 cals and drink 6 bottles of water. 2. Work up a sweat for at least a consecutive hour at work, shouldn't be too hard! 3. Take a 15ish minute walk, if time permits, and if my feet aren't withered and dead post work day!
