May 15th Weight Loss Group- Week 6

riveraphx

Hello Ladies-

I hope everyone had an excellent week. I had shin splints on Tuesday night and that kept me from running on Wednesday, but I made up for it today with an early morning jog. Have any of you tried spinning? I did it for the first time yesterday afternoon and thought it was awesome. Aside from the initial discomfort of the bike seat, it was a blast. I spent all last night baking "healthy cakes", I haven't tried them yet, so I'll let you know if they're a success. I got them from "Chubby Bunny" on the recipe board. They're actually called Strawberry Marble Cake, but I substituted no sugar added apple sauce for the vegetable oil and egg beaters for the egg.

Well tomorrow we check-in, or if you're reading this on Saturday, today we are checking-in. I will see you then.

Rule your mind or it will rule you.-Horace

I started Phase 1 on Monday, still getting used to it. When I weighed this morning I was down 3 lbs but won't post it till I weigh again on Monday. During the week wasn't too bad, but the week-end may be not be so good. I will try my best though. I need to lose at least 30 or would like to. Those three pounds were without excercising except going up and down 3 flights of stairs every hour at work. You can do it, just set your mind to it. I had lost 35 lbs on a weight program with a Dr. but my PCP took me off of it, gained back 30. I have a lot of nice clothes that I want to get back down into. My husband is buying me a Wii and the Wii fit this week-end.

I started South Beach on Dec 26th and have lost 15 on it. I followed phase 1 for the two weeks and then sort of modified it with my WW Filling Foods program and have been pleased with the results. I am off bread altogether and that seems to be the most amazing thing...I dont miss it! I limit my pasta, potato or rice to once a week and we are eating fish more often.
I am a firm believer that when you and your body are ready...any program will work. It is changing habits and making choices. The past two weeks I have kept the "This decision matters" thought when deciding on meals and snacks...this week, I am putting that same thought process to exercising. I can choose to exercise or not...just like I decide not to eat that extra handful of nuts. So that is my goal this week...
WI is in the morning so see you then....

Hey Guys-

Wow! I am surprised to see my numbers go down this week. I did great all week, but last night stuffed my face, but not complaining. Under Recipes, there's a recipe by Chubby Bunny called "Zesty Chicken with Artichoke". I made it for my man and a few friends last night, ohmigoodness, we were practically licking our plates, DELICIOUS! If you're looking for a new chicken recipe, try this one. I'm going to make it again today, but this time limit my portion, last night I was goin' for seconds and thirds.

Well enough, about that. I am glad to see everyone here once again. It seems like our group is getting smaller and smaller each week, but hey, best of luck to those guys, right. I'm always looking for the same people now, because I recognize your pictures as the weeks go on. You guys are awesome!!

ttyl, Felicia
