    silver, how's your grandmother?

    She's doing well, thanks for asking. She turned 90 on Saturday and has been a very popular woman this week! I didn't get to talk long because my gma and aunt stopped in to see her, but I'm going to visit her today!

    Momma, I love how you and your husband do activities together. I'm actually a little envious! I really wish he was more involved in that part of my life! What's the deal with the mayo? I know you mentioned once before that you put it on everything! are there other condiments that you like that you can use as a substitute? I've heard of people using plain yogurt because the taste and textures are similar.

    Thanks ... we actually just started biking about 3 weeks ago. But we do love it.
    The mayo is just a thing I love. I have always loved it and after I started actually counting calories and realized that in just over a week I had eaten 1200 calories in mayo alone, I decided that that alone will kill any progress I make regardless of how healthy besides it that I eat. So, it is gone. Mayo is the only condiment I use, except salad dressing, so if I want something I just use ranch, but I am actually doing fine without it. I put just a bit of ranch on my hamburger last night and didn't miss the mayo at all!


    Hope everyone else is doing great this week.

    Let too many days go by without updating my goals... Suffice it to say I didn't stay on track and honestly I really missed reading all your posts and see how everyone is doing! Looks like there's lots of goals being met, and that's awesome!

    Leela, I'm still trying to get fiber in through my food but if it continues being such a struggle I might have to opt for supplements as well.. It really seems like the hardest thing for me to get "the hang of"!!

    My goals for Friday:

    1) 5 mile walk - Done 1 so far
    2) Water - Half way through
    3) 30 grams fiber - 18 grams to go...

    Going to keep it pretty simple. It's my day off, TOM, and already 4pm on Friday here!! Have a great day everyone!

    Have a great night!

    So Friday we went to the jelly belly factory. It was tons of fun. I got a small bag of sugar free jelly bellies. while we were there, I bought an italian sausage (minus the bread), a small bag of sun chips (I gave most of them to my daughter) and a diet pepsi. Later, we stopped by mcdonalds, I got a mcchicken sandwich (minus the bun and mayo...just for you momma....lol), and a swiped a few of my daughter's fries. Ordered a light lemonade (5 cals per 8oz). So all in all, I think I did pretty good under the circumstances.

    Saturday's goals:
    1. workout early!!!
    2. make sure there are no left overs in the frige before cooking something new.
    3. go to the fruit market to restock.

    4. Draw up a meal plan - No

    Hi,

    Sorry to all you posters I've been a bit self-involved and flaky this week. I'm finding it pretty hard to stay on track this week. It had all started to feel a bit easier and come more naturally before I had my freak out, I’m hoping it was just work stress and I go back to being my regular self now. Still try again today.

    Jess – Read your blog and I really sympathise, for me its high fat foods, one always leads to another. Keep trying; we’re going to do really well at this.

    Silver – What’s your new major?

    Tinacuso – Welcome!

    Momma – Hows life after mayo? I love it too, I just had to cut out things that I would eat it with. I’ve heard that hummus sometimes works quite well as a substitute. Not the same but might be worth a try.

    Teresa – How did it go with the HRM? I just my micoach pacer through to train for a marathon (gulp!:noway: ) next year and can’t wait to get it all set up and running.

    Leela – How are the push ups going? Do you have a target in mind?

    Kathy – Hope your sleeping better now.

    Sorry to anyone I’ve missed.

    On to todays goals:
    1. Under on calories. No excuses Kim!
    2. Water
    3. Set up micoach
    4. Iliotibial band syndrome exercises:sad:
    5. Work on the house

    Hope you’re all have a lovely weekend.
