    mya - you are doing so great! Impressive progress, I hope you are PROUD!

    I haven't been on much, too busy focussing on my new obsession...... running! I finished the C25K and have caught the bug well and truly. I have a 5k race in a few weeks too. Motivation! I'm still doing well, no issues over Easter despite the house STILL being full of the kids chocolate... sigh. I've hit 15kg lost which feels great (I think that's 33lbs).

    meisje - way to go in your race :) Did you go out with a plan at all to improve your time? I haven't been able to do any practice 5kms under 42mins :( I really really want to get under 40mins in my race, but realistically I don't think that's going to be possible.

    Woot congrats on the weight loss OSM!!!.....Meisje I hate eating out as well because the choices are limited and everything is laced in carbs or sodium blah blah...i rarely eat out anymore and if i have to i stick to veggies and look like a ding dong while everyone else is scarfing down full plates haha...my dad took us to a chinese buffett and well he paid 13bucks for me to eat 3 pieces of shrimp and 4 slices of cucumbers and 1 slice of pineapple abd water to drink....it was such a waste...1. the food was gross ..now that i value what i put into my body my stomach has become really weak..and 99% of everything was in a sauce of fried...the only thing that looked decent was the crab legs HOWEVER ..everyine was in animal mode when getting them and they were covered in old bay seasoning..blah!

    :flowerforyou:
    I've decided to get over my "recuperation" & just bring it! This past week cost me a pound & a half, but I'm not going to change my ticker. I'm going to make it go away & take some buddies by working extra hard this weekend to make up for all that gooey soft food. :grumble:

    Hi ladies! SOrry I have been so MIA lately. I am just running around like CRAZY! It is the end of semester so all I am doing is projects, projects, projects! It is so hard when each class has a project and a lot of them are group projects and everyone has different schedules within the different groups. UGH! I have had no time for anything but school. So, one more week and then a week of finals. I cannot wait!

    SO, I have to admit that exercise has tanked since I have no time. Because of this I have made sure to do extra well with eating and not stress eating! My hubby has been gone all week TDY (He is with the Air Force) and I hae just made two different meals to eat all week. Luckily I like things to stay the same so I made spaghetti and meatballs for my lunches and it is made with spaghetti squash instead of noodles and ground turkey for the meatballs and an all tomato sauce.

    For dinner I made a spinach and mushroom lasagna with whole wheat noodles and low fat ricotta. It is very good if anyone wants the recipe I use. It is from eatingwell.com, but on the food network. LOL. I have been eating fresh strawberries and grapes with whole wheat toast for breakfast and then a salad with cucumbers usually as a snack or with dinner. For a snack...if I really need one, I have been having Sugar free jello with free cool whip.. so yummy to me.

    I am so proud of you two ladies that I see have been keeping this thread going! Keep up the fabulous job and I will be back here as much as I can. I am getting to the end of my degree (I will be a teacher) and it is nothing but projects in the end. Very time consuming projects.

    Have a great day everyone!

    Good for you!
    I was going to take today off working out.
    But...
    DH got home late, was just sitting here, thinking about grilling dinner, thinking about snacking, wishing for a glass of wine, checking & finding only 115 calories left after logging dinner...
    so
    I went &
    burned 700 calories on the bike!
    Got out of the kitchen. took a shower, dinner's almost ready!
    :drinker:
    Happy Friday night!
    Bring it!
