    chantybear, I must've missed it, how did the exams go? (hope I'm not mixing you people up, but I'm still new here :blushing: )

    I also hate Mondays. On a regular basis. Except for this one :happy: , which went so well work-wise, that I am really happy and motivated. It must be because I took better care of my sleeping hours, made sure I take good rest.

    Also, today I drank more water and I think it's flushing the water weight away :drinker: . Plus I did 1 and 1/2 sessions of aerobics todays and that feels GOOD.

    Love to see everyone staying tuned and supportive with each other. Keep up the good work, people :flowerforyou: .

    Ok so I have to ask ya'll... am I crazy? I watched that show "Half Ton Mom" last night, and I swear, watching this women stuck in bed because she weighs nearly 1000 pounds made me HUNGRY. You think it'd do the opposite, right?? Of course it might have been because the only commercials during it were for fast food and junk food... what's up with that???

    So am I nuts about the wanting to eat when I see shows about really fat people... or was it the commercials???

    Have to add - I DIDN'T eat but it was hard not to.

    Kristi, LI4G and Adopt4 - I just noticed all 4 of us have lost 18 lbs..

    Yeah...
  • losingit4good: great before and after shots! Way to go! :glasses:

    I am trying to get back on track after a sugar filled weekend. (darn cupcakes were soooo good)
    I also ate a small supper to make up for short exercise session today. Better effort tomorrow when I go to the pool.

    Goal is to lose 5 lbs in 2 weeks. Enjoying the sit up challenge. Feels good to work at something and get better.

    dewdrop~ I'm so glad you had a happy Monday ~ what a nice thing to hear! And yayyy for you on the aerobics++++ Good job girl!!:bigsmile:

    Anita ~ sorry you weren't having such a great Monday:ohwell: But love the dedication to your exercise ~ it is truly admirable!! Way to go!!!:flowerforyou:

    healthymom ~ yayyyy swimming tomorrow - do a lap for me! I'm doing the sit-up challenge too ~ did 67 tonight - YOWWWW. I'm sure to be sore tomorrow ~ Good luck on your 5 lbs in 2weeks! Very ambitious:drinker:

    Adopt4- I watched that show too - and the one about the 1/2 ton boy, and the 1/2 ton dad - the one about the mom was soooooo sad! :cry: Had to be the food commercials that made you hungry ~ Although if I have to put my psych 101 to use, it would be this: When people are much much larger than we are, it somehow reinforces that twisted piece of our psyche that says "well, I'm not THAT big" and then the tiny little voice we are learning to silence - suddenly screams out "well then hoorah baby, feeeeeed me - I've got growing room." It's one theory. :ohwell: Did I tell you I made a really low "B" in psych 101?

    Chantybear - Fingers crossed for you tomorrow ~ best of luck! I did your breathing thing on sit ups tonight - in through the nose, out through the mouth - and I exhaled on the way up and inhaled on the way down- At first it was like the "pat your head while you rub your tummy" challenge, I am soooo frigging uncoordinated nowadays:bigsmile: - but I got the hang of it and I it really helped. Gracias amiga! And, glad you had a good Monday:wink:

    It could just be water weight, a pound is not a horrible setback. Don't stretch yourself too thin (so to speak!:laugh: )! :flowerforyou:

    Lulu - Thanks hun!!! I am so not looking forward to it, but I only get certain grades on English papers with this teacher (which I really cannot complain about!!!), and I hope I get the same as last time haha...
    I find if I focus on my breathing I zone out (in a good way) :laugh: I am glad to help, okay now 25 minute cram before exams...talk to you later!

    Chanty - Good luck on those exams...

    Everyone else.. HI HI HI HI... I am home today.. Took the day off to take my Grandson Austin to his DR. Appt.. Ok, my daughter in law has some issues.. He is 21 months old.. They forgot to leave a car seat for him and it's a half hr drive.. She got pissed when I told her to reschedule cuz I am not driving with him not in a car seat.. UGG. Hate to be my son tonight.. Oh well.. So now I am home and I didn't have a chance to work out this morning so I HAVE to do it tonight.. I hate exercising at night...

    My DH brought home a tanning bed.. Its the biggest bed I have ever seen.. it has 44 bulbs.. I told him he'd better clean it up and get that thing on ebay or craigslist LOL.. I don't mind tanning once in a while but I don't think I want the chance to put myself into daily (and I would).. He got it for free off craigslist thought it would be a nice suprise.. So bye bye tanning bed that is now taking up MY side of the garage...

    Well I am off to do something useful with my day.. MAYBE....

    Have a good one all...

    Well this tanning bed works.. However he keeps telling me about the parts he needs to make it better.. I say sell it sell it sell it.. But I think he will end up keeping it. For some reason this man spoils me rotten.. I didn't even ever ask for one..

    Another subject....

    Meals.. I am having a hard time with food.. Was thinking maybe we can post what we would normally eat..

    What ya all think???

    Nitag: I would ask for one but they are like $4000, and we have no room right now:laugh: !

    I will post what I eat, if you want to know:smile: :

    I have basically the same thing for breakfast every morning with little variations (fruit etc.)
    1/3 cup of quick oats
    1 tbsp pure (nothing added) almond butter -> French vanilla yogurt is really good too!
    2 strawberries
    1/2 banana

    Lunch: I found this yummy salad yesterday
    1/4 shelled edamame
    2 cups baby mixed greens (earthbound organic) or spinach...whatever you have!
    1/4 pkg of baked teriyaki tofu (I am a vegetarian, but it is soo good you should try!)
    1 tsp roasted sesame seeds
    I like to add 1tbsp of crumbled goat cheese, because I love the stuff

    Dressing:
    1 tsp reduced sodium soya sauce
    2 tsp seasoned rice vinegar
    a dash of olive oil
    (it will probably make to much so just use what you need, and save the rest of later)

    Dinner: I am making cauliflower fried rice which is stupidly good and extremely low cal!
    1/2 head cauliflower (grated)
    3 eggs (beaten)
    3 tbsp soya sauce
    1/2 cup frozen peas
    1/2 tsp ginger
    1 clove garlic
    a couple green onions

    here is the full recipe: http://www.lowcarbluxury.com/recipes/recipe-combo11.html
    I do not add any meat since cauliflower actually has protein in it already:smile:

    Umm I do not know I am letting myself relax a bit from school work until 6:30, and I am kind of bored on the computer, so I thought I would share:happy:


    Hey...where is everyone tonight?!?:huh:
  • chantybear
    chantybear Posts: 343
    I calculated it, and the cauliflower fried rice with 2 eggs, 1/2 cup of peas, and no meat only has 254 calories in the whole recipe!!! Yumm!:drinker:

    Chanty.. Thanks for the post on the food.. I am going to have to try the Tofu.. Everyone I know says it's good...

    No one has been around today...... I don't know where they are all at....
  • chantybear
    chantybear Posts: 343
    No problem :smile: Try the baked tofu, or smoked tofu, because if not properly prepared plain tofu does not taste to great, and may scare you away:laugh:

    Oh well at least we have each other to converse with!:smile:

    renayeb: I had a bad week with the scale too. :grumble: I say "This is life. Our commitment is still there and the scale WILL eventually agree with us as we keep doing our best . :drinker:
    This is a way of life, don't let it get you down!

    chantybear: Good luck on papers and exams. I remember those days all too well!

    anita: I can't exercise at night either. great dedication!

    My exercise report is good today. I went to the pool to swim laps (even though it is -40 outside). I improved my time today over last week. I'm not sure how many calories I'm burning but my legs and arms are tired when I'm done. :smile: I hope its enough to tip the scale this week! :angry:

    Healthy- Thanks! :smile: I can't wait till I can say 'I remember those days'....well at least in terms of college papers :tongue:
    Good job on the swimming! It was -14(celsius..) here, and I went for a run in an indoor sportsplex (it has a thick plastic roof, but still a little warmer then outside, and blocks wind), and it was really hard to breathe since it was cold:frown: oh well first really cold day in a while so I cannot complain!

    Hi Healthymom... For some reason I have no energy at night.. I did get in my 40 mins of cardio... That will have to do... Its been in the 30's here all day, I have been freezing.. How do you swim?? Now that I am thinking about it, the closest pool is an hr away.. Near where I work and there would be no way I'd swim there all the pools are outside.....I hear ya about the soreness.. I walked with the treadmill at a 7% incline for 10 mins and my calves are burning still and that was hrs ago....

    Good job on the swimming...

    Chanty did you go to work??

    I am off to start dinner... It's that time...

    I've been down with a cold today. Unlike LI4G, I STILL went to the gym (nudge nudge). (she'll hit me later, I'm sure, LOL). I did 30 straight mins on the elliptical! And that was without someone chatting next to me distracting me! Then 25 on treadmill, slower pace than normal, didn't want to wear myself out. Felt fine until I got home and then I was exhausted. Basically slept most of the afternoon once I fed the boys and got them down for their naps... Having to force myself to eat (wow that's different) so I could get at least 1200 cals in me so my body can get better. Suceeded in eating 1241 for the day...so that has to be good enough, I'm almost ready for bed again, unless I get a craving here shortly.

    Hoping to feel better tomorrow, I want to see if I can do the 30 mins again.. my legs were complaining but not too badly... after I get used to the 30 mins I'll add the arms (right now I have to hang on to the non moving handles so I don't fall off! LOL) and then move onto the other elliptical machines that are much harder. The reason I love the gym right now - I have someplace to go up when my body gets used to something, there's always another machine I can move to that does more.

    My scale read really low today but I didn't log it in here. If it says the same or lower tomorrow, though, I'm logging it! It would be my new lowest weight in over 10 years!

    healthymom and dewdrop - saw you both on the 200situpchallenge thread! Yayyyy. My tummy was sooooo sore today and this is weird - my left calf???? Why the heck would my calf be sore?!! My feet were tucked under the edge of the treadmill - I wonder if I was pulling with my leg? strange things are afoot ~ well, acalf:tongue:

    Anita, adopt4, healthymom - gooooood girls on the exercise!! Hope you feel better tomorrow adopt4.

    LI4G ~KickintheButt.gif
    That's for you!

    Chanty - I am sooo impressed that you are so young, and yet you eat such healthy foods! I have never had the courage to try tofu - I thinks it's the name - It makes me think of toe-cheese, ick!:blushing:

    Hello everyone, I'm ba-aa-ck! 824834ttykjfe6uz.gif It feels like a week since I had a chance to post here, but its only been a couple of days! Wow.

    Had a little crisis and a bunch of paperwork at work, so I have been swamped. I am most unhappy that I have missed two days in my goal towards workingout an hour a day. smileyexplosion.gif So, if I am lucky, I will get in four days, and thats if I work out some tongiht, which seems unlikely. Bummer! Oh well, enough about me. Oh, wait, one more thing! My work is doing a biggest loser thing, so I weighed again on Monday (after Friday) and had lost another pound and a quarter, so, I'm counting it!! AND, a coworker (one who I haven't been incenently badgering about my new eating plan, and "Do I look thinner?") said to me this evening, are you on a diet or something, because you look thinner! th4g6906.jpg Well, I go way beyond the happy dance. Silly, I know.

    So, it ttook a while, but it was so good to catch up with all of you.

    Zano, thanks for the concern, you are right, of course - though it is REALLY unlikely that I will be running anytime soon, it is still so easy to over do it, and then lose ground while waiting to heal or something.

    Nita, thanks for always checking in first thing, and all the time, really. Sorry I haven't been around much lately. Tanning bed. Really? I have an embarassing :blushing: tanning bed story. (I know, I have every kind of embarassing story.) So, about a hundered (??) 100 years ago, I helped manage this hair salon. In the salon, there was a tanning bed. After the place was closed up, I would occasionally tan. Silly, I know because there was no way I was going to appear in any public forum (or private forum) in any kind of swimwear. We've had that conversation, right? So, one day I thinks to myself, "it would be nice not to have these silly tan lines....." Anyway, just let me warn you against spending more than about 30 seconds if you are going to wear your birthday suit! First, one burns, then one itches. Its not a good thing. :noway:

    Get_fit, speaking of birthday suits, birthday.gif Have fun!!

    Li4g - you really do rock! thanks for the tea receipe. I steer clear of alcohol (drug and alcohol counselor for a reason) but I still like the slurpee idea! And, I really like lulu kicking your butt for you! Do keep us posted on your potential move. Flordia seems like a long way from Washington, unless my geography is WAY OFF. I can't imagine living anywhere but the desertish west. I have lived in Idaho and Utah all my life (except for a brief sojourn in Italy).

    Chanty, am I mistaken, or you about half way to your goal? There should be a party somewhere in our future! Congrats!! Plus, the end of exams, and papers perhaps for a while. I loved grad school, but I was really glad when it was over. And, thanks for the receipe. At first I am thiniing, "oh the rice cauliflower sounds really good, but I am avoiding rice right now. :huh: Took me a minute, but I finally climbed out of the hole my brain goes to sometimes and realized that the cauliflower IS the rice. WAY cool. Gonna try that. Do you cook the cauliflower pretty soft, or not so much? If soft, you could put it through a ricer..... I like the possibilities.

    Nita, I live alone, so I am cooking for one, which I used to find difficult - that is, cooking a healthy, well balanced meal for one. But, what I am doing these days is this, I buy the already prepared salads, and the local dairy delivers milk, but also a number of tasty, "meal solutions" which I buy and heat up one at a time. For example, today I had seared tilapia loin with lime-mango salsa, salad, and steamed cabbage. Yummers. I have a couple of chicken things (thai curry and italian) or I pick up a rotisserie chicken and eat it over several days. For breakfast, I usually eat a half a cup of cottage cheese, herb tea and some fruit. Or, a couple of strips of panfried bacon (70 cals) and a couple of scrambled eggs on a piece of toast w/o butter. I make it sandwich like, then I don't need the butter. At least once or twice a week, I try to eat soup. Again, cooking for one, I don't make a big pot of soup, I buy progresso healthy what ever. I also use the George Foreman Grill like it was going out of style. BBQSmiley.gif

    Adopt4, thanks for checking in on me when I was AWOL. It was really nice. AND great job on working out when sick, and using it with a small dose of guilt - which is a great motivator! Let's hope your scale is right! Yay!!!

    Healthymom, good job on not letting your sugar weekend derail you. That has always been my downfall, one little slip and ITS ON!! I've got to get over that if I am to be sucessful. AHEM - excuse me, since I am to be successful!!!

    Renayeb, maybe you actully are building muscle, and it isn't a weight gain at all! (er, you know what I mean, a pound is still a pound, but at the end of the day, its the volumn that really counts.)

    Dewdrop, thanks for being so positive - you're great.

    AND, lulu - wonderful posts, as always. Positive, supportive AND funny. who could ask for more.

    CMR, missing you here!

    Well everyone, take care I have spent forever writing this, so it is likely someone has posted between lulu's last post and me finishing this. If I have missed anyone, YOU KNOW I LOVE YOU! Take care!!! Good to be back!

    Haha thanks:smile: . That description almost made my stomach turn...thanks Lulu :tongue:

    Kristi- 1.5 more pounds, and I am there! :smile: Oh yes I will have some fun celebrating the end of the school year do not worry:wink: ! Haha yeah it was really good, I used half a small head of cauliflower, 2 eggs, 1 tbsp reduced sodium soy sauce, and 1/2 cup of frozen peas, and it was really good..I ate the whole recipe:happy: I think it has more flavor then rice anyways, it is pretty soft, really depends on how long you cook it. I am not to sure what a ricer is, but sure?:happy:

    Mornin' ya'll, or almost noon here. Still coughing and sniffing but I'm alive, and worked out this morning. 30 mins on elliptical again (whoo-hoo!) and 27 on treadmill, for a total of 490 cals burned. I could have done more but I'm trying not to wear my body out too much so it can fight this cold...

    Did see LI4G at the gym this morning, briefly, so I guess I guilted her a bit (not really)!

    Scale drops about .3 - .5 every day. Not sure what that's about but I love it. I guess I am loving the elliptical now because I think that's why, it's burning the fat. Plus I seem to have a better handle on my eating than I did in the beginning. So unoffically I'm at 20 pounds lost!! Whoo-hoo! Let's hope that keeps up and I can weigh in on Friday less!

    I like the bagged salads with the salad dressing and everything already in there, so it changes up the food a bit. I measure it out into glad ware and then grab one out for me and usually stick one in hubby's lunch. That will last us anywhere from a day to 2 days for lunch, depending on the bag of salad. I'm the type of person that needs a quick lunch or something really easy to make, plus making lunch for hubby so he eats better to, which is why I like the bagged salads. Today for lunch I had the "Perfect Harvest" salad, added some grape tomatoes, and then ate some peas (just realized I should have stuck the peas on the salad too!). I will eat something a little more substantial in a bit but I'm always so hungry by lunch that I want to eat something, then wait awhile, then eat something else so I don't overeat. I'll probably have an English muffin with egg beaters, turkey bacon, and non fat cheese slice... learned that recipe from LI4G and it's a really good egg fake-mcmuffin and not that many calories either.

    Well, lulu's buttkicking and adopt4's nudging just couldnt get me to the gym last night. Its not for a lack of tryin tho. I even had my workout clothes on and was ready to go, then sat down and well... I was just so emotionally drained yesterday that I ended up crashing early....in my workout clothes!. My adrenalin was so jacked up after court yesterday that by the time I had a chance to go my body was like "yeah right!" So, I went over on cals yesterday by a little, not my best day...but could have definitely been worst! The court thing turned out good for me, so no complaints there... just sitting there for 2 hours waiting to spend 5 minutes in front of the judge was stressful and the ex tried all kinds of crap to not have the support go up.

    Anyway... since I crashed early, I woke UP early. Got to the gym this morning by 8:15 and by the time adopt4 got there at 9:15 I had burned 589 calories. I had little ones coming at 10:30 so I had to get in and get it done otherwise I woulda went when she did.

    Back on track today with calories. Its so wierd what stress does to ya. I was hungry allllllll day yesterday even tho I KNEW i had had more than plenty to eat and shouldnt be thinkin of food. It was exhausting! If the kiddos leave early enough I may go to the gym again for water aerobics, but it looking like I'll have them until about 9pm tonight. Will definitely be going tomorrow, even tho it supposed to be my day off from the gym.

    Chanty, thanks for more info on the rice. I meant to ask if that was more than one serving. Cool!! Also, a ricer - think REALLY BIG garlic press. Typically used for potatoes when you are going to make gnocchi or croquette. You don't want them really creamy, like mashed potatoes, so you use the ricer. I am betting I could rice the cauliflower. I'll let you know. I think I may try that rice stuff tonight. MMMMM....

    Li4g, stress can really be a killer, can't it !!? A good reminder that we need to be mindful of stress and we need to work to destress our lives. Thanks!!! See you later all. I am sneaking this in at work after posting my lunch calories.
