Mirlyn

How's everyone doing? I kept under my calories yesterday but at about 7pm I came down with a pretty harsh migraine, tried to sleep but couldn't and something inside me was telling me I needed to eat so I had a bowl of cereal which put me over my cals but at least lowered the intensity of my migraine. It was really hard to convince myself to pour that bowl of cereal but the pain won out in the end.

Hope everyone is having a great day and has been making fabulous food choices!

Hi there!
I have about 70 to reach my goal, but 60 sounds pretty good at the moment too, and will put me in a healthy range. I love this site. There has been so much information and I love having a place that I can keep track of all the information needed to succeed. This is my day 6 of eating right, so I will be weighing tomorrow. Ok, so maybe I have weighed since, but I'm not paying attention till tomorrow.
For lunch, I had a mini-bagel with hummus, lettuce, tomato, and bell pepper with an apple on the side. I forgot how much I liked hummus. So yummy and filling too.
Mirlyn - yesterday was my first day with absolutely no Dr.Pepper. Two days before, I had to have half a can due to migraines. I'm hoping today will be pain free. Dang caffeine!

Robin1109

A little over 70 is my goal but I'd be very happy to get to the 60 mark! Count me in if possible!

hkystar

I have about 70ish left to go. I am definitely down for some extra support (and providing extra support) for others in the same boat!

Today I had some baby carrots as my afternoon snack and OMG (yes I use that phrase) they were so not tastey after watching another girl walking around with a MCD ice cream sundae. Now I really want one, but I know I shouldnt. I am fighting the urge hardcore.

Hmmm....if you have a sweet tooth maybe try buying Special K Chocolatey Delight cereal and snacking on that. Also, Special K has bars that might be tasty too. Just watch the sugars!

so question. & u can c my food diary to confirm this.

i ate lunch a little over 2hrs ago. in a few min i'm suppose 2 have my snack. the thing is, i STILL feel FULL from my lunch. albiet, it was only 377calories, plus i'm drinkin a LOT of water 2day (i had a sausage biscuit for breakfast & didn't realize the sodium content until AFTER i ate it :blushing: :sad: )

so hopefully a lot of water will help flush that out (idk how long it'll take 2 flush out my system tho. :frown:

well i've drank 8glasses of water by now but the thing is ever since lunch i feel FULL. i mean almost like i stuffed myself. is this normal? when i remember lookin at the food i know that it wasn't a lot but i guess it was fillin?

& yes my calories r in red but i'll b workin my patookis off later 2nite when i work out so hopefully that'll help with the salt as well. (i'm so worried abt this sodium intake....)

have any of u experienced feelin full like this?

I love hummus! Have you had bagel thins? I like them a little more than mini bagels because there's not as much bread but it takes more bites for me to eat it so it's a good snack. LOVE hummus, if you have a trader joe's nearby try their jalapeno cilantro hummus.. it's pretty amazing with carrot sticks. I stopped drinking soda back on April 2nd so I completely feel ya on the caffeine headaches! My migraines are infrequent but they hit suddenly and don't usually go away until I've slept for the night and wake up the next morning, I think I was low on sugars because eating a bowl of cereal really did help.

For lunch today I had egg salad on a sandwich thin (1 whole hardboiled egg and 1 hardboiled egg white, light mayo, cucumber, red onion, and a sprinkle of mrs. dash table blend) and I had some egg salad left over in the bowl that wouldn't fit on my sandwich so I tossed some baby spinach leaves in and finished it off and it was absolutely fulfilling. Will be a repeat recipe for sure .

I feel ya, some days I can barely hit 1200 calories even before exercise calories come into play and some days I feel like I can't eat enough. Your lunch yesterday looked like a great combination of carbs and protein so perhaps that's why you felt full longer. I have been trying to not eat just because it's time to eat but listening to my body (within reason) - if I'm not hungry for a snack until later then I won't eat it until later. Sometimes I snack more at night which I know is bad but my husband and I tend to stay up until 11-11:30pm so an 8pm snacktime doesn't seem to hurt my metabolism (yet.)

PS. I miss sausage biscuits . I used to eat 2... yes 2 of them every morning on my way to work.. with cheese and jelly. No wonder I'm so fat.

My Dr told me to avoid all refined sugars, so I have been avoiding a lot of stuff. I am not saying I am perfect (cause I cant help but have a little sometimes). I did find some ripe strawberries today which were exactly what I needed for my afternoon sweettooth.

Mirlyn ~ haven't tried bagel thins and don't think we have a Trader Joe's. I had thoughts of making my own hummus, but apparently making the Tahina is more complicated than it sounds. I was at a cookout yesterday and I had some great pita slices that were perfect for a couple slices of turkey. I'm planning on getting some of those in stock. Last night I picked up some flatbread (stone-ground whole wheat), only 90 calories and they are bigger than a typical tortilla. I was able to stuff so many veggies in today that I felt spoiled eating it!

Oh, and my weigh in this morning ~ lost five pounds!

Mirlyn

WOW! Congratulations on the 5 lb loss! Man I can't wait for another large loss week. Seems my body does it randomly but as long as I eat right and keep exercising I know that I'll hit another big loss week soon enough . This week was small (0.8lbs) but I had some alcohol and a large dinner last night due to my anniversary so I'm going to reweigh in tomorrow after drinking tons of water today and see if I can't add a little bit more to that loss .

That flatbread sounds good, I'll keep my eyes open for it. I haven't seen the jalapeno cilantro hummus elsewhere but you may be able to find a similar flavor if you go to a few different groceries. It really is my favorite of all I've tried so far.

mamaDaisyJ

Thanks, it was my first week losing so I know not to expect 5 lbs every weigh in, but it was nice seeing that number Any loss is a good loss and always better than a gain
If there was ever a time to spoil yourself, its your anniversary! Congratulations~ How long have ya been married? My boyfriend and I have been together about 4 and a half years, but we can't even tell ya an anniversary date, so eventually we may have to get married so we have one lol.
The wrap is made by Flat Out, I got it at Crest Foods if you have one. I got roasted garlic hummus this week, I might try something spicier next week though.
