    Good Morning Ladies! How is everyone doing on their no bread challenge?? Good I hope! I woke up @ 6am and got to the gym @ 630am for an early morning workout! I was soooo proud...I usually never wake up til about 730-8am and i would always do my workouts in the evening! Anyway Hope you all have an awesome bread-free day!! lol...Keep up the good work and we will be in our new shoes in no time!

    That's great Jess. I don't believe I'll ever be switching to a morning workout. I'm really impressed by people who can do so.

    I second that. I've tried so many times to work out in the mornings (even when I didn't go into work until 10) and I just can't do it. I have to work out in the evening or at night or I won't stick to it (not that I'm doing so hot right now anyway.:grumble: )

    I love working out in the morning but the last couple of weeks, I haven't been able to drag my butt out of bed at 4!! Here's a challenge for myself... GET OUT OF BED!!! LOL I always feel better when I get a morning workout...and my boss can't drive me crazy, although everyday he tries... :ohwell:
    I have been bread free today and WILL finish the day as such. Right now I'm on a "fresh fruits and veggies kick". I'm sure it won't last too long :huh:

    OK SO I HAD A COUPLE OF MEMBERS COME UP WITH AN AWSOME IDEA..THEY SAID IT WOULD BE HELPFUL TO TYPE UP THE WEEKS CHALLENGES ALL ON ONE POST AT THE BEGINNING OF EACH WEEK...SO HERE THEY GO::

    TUESDAY--- NO BREAD!!
    WEDNESDAY---ADD 15 MINUTES TO YOUR NORMAL CARDIO
    THURSDAY---NO PASTA!
    FRIDAY---LETS DO THE WATER CHALLENGE AGAIN!! 8 GLASSES LADIES!!
    SATURDAY---ONLY BEVERAGE WE DRINK TODAY IS WATER!! GONNA BE A TOUGHY FOR ME!!
    SUNDAY---NO EATING AFTER 7:00PM

    I WILL ADD MONDAY-SUNDAY'S CHALLENGES ON SUNDAY NIGHT!!!

    Tomorrow will be easy enough for me IF I get my butt out of bed to workout before work! lol I just find it difficult to fit in enough of a workout period, when I leave it all for the evening!

    Good luck everyone!! :bigsmile:

    Good morning fellow shoe lovers! I'm going to have to change my av soon, so I fit in with all of you. I have an awesome one that our photographer took at our wedding, of my feet in my shoes. They aren't red, but they are sexy! I think I even have one strap loosened on it... I can't access the net on our regular computer though, and I don't have the pic on my laptop... DH knows how I can do it using the network, but who knows how long it'll take... lol

    Anyways, I'm off to a great start this morning. I went for another C25K already. Just got up out of bed, threw on sweats, snuck past the dog (she walks even slower than I do, lol) and went for it. Came home and had a bowl of oatmeal with chopped walnuts in it. Usually I do sliced almonds, but DH has discovered the joy of almonds and I don't have any left in the house.

    how is C25K, im thinking of trying it. any tips/suggestios?

    Sorry I didn't get back to you sooner... I had to take one of the boys to the dentist, then swung by work to change the answering machine (boss is going out of town) and gabbed for a while about yesterday's court case. Also a quick 8 minutes in the tanning bed, then came home. Ate lunch, then popped on here and saw your post.... Then saw your second post about how you had already done it. Good for you! I don't really have a tip, other than what a trainer told me... If you're running on a treadmill, put the incline to 1 or 2%. If you leave it at 0%, it's like running downhill.

    Soooo... for lunch I had a big spinach salad with mushrooms, tomatoes, sugar snap peas, reduced fat cheese, and some leftover pork. I still have a not quite full kinda munchie feeling that I'm trying to ignore. When I'm done posting, I have to go out and find a nice fresh sample of our dog's poo to take to the vet, so bagging that up will probably help get rid of the "want to eat something feeling". Also taking the cat in with the dog to the vet (doesn't that just sound like a good time waiting to happen?).

    Not sure yet what to have for dinner-- I'm thinking chicken baked over a bed of brown rice. When I do that, I mix in chopped onions and mushrooms with the rice, and blend it with chicken broth and a can of cream of mushroom soup. Yummity yummity yum.

    Doing well on the no bread thing today...

    oooooo chili yum...thats a good idea i have some avocados here ....U just figured out my dinner plan hahaha *Hugs* ty :flowerforyou: because dinner is always hard to figure out lol

    Great, glad I could help BUT what about my request for help figuring out my dinner plan?? :grumble: :laugh:

    Dinner suggestion: Cut a chicken breast into small peices and cook it in a non-stick skillet. When it is almost done, sprink with chili powder and cumin to taste. Put it in a warm corn tortilla with some lettuce and tomato. Viola! A chicken taco. Serve with steamed veggies and, perhaps, some non-fat black beans.

    Yep, and/or it makes me *****y. BIG TIME effort for me to work out. I really hate it. :grumble: But I'm hating being chunky more! I'm trying to make it a lifestyle change this time as opposed to exercising compulsively to achieve a goal. I'm using my dogs and the mountain I live on as tools rather than using my gym. I'll do that when the weather changes (maybe-:laugh: )

    I don't really LIKE to exercise. It's something I tolerate because I like to feel some sort of muscle when I flex. :wink: I prefer to strength training in the morning and cardio in the evening. It seems like less work that way. I don't know why.:ohwell:

    That's sounds delicious but I'm going to save it for another day. I had chili for dinner last night and again for lunch so another chili themed meal is a bit too much for me today. I think I might have BBQ chicken wings with Frank's hot sauce served with a veggie salad. Wings are not bad for dieters if they are done right, so of course, deepfrying is not recommended. But on the BBQ with a low or no cal sauce like Frank's or cooked on the Foreman Grill, the nutritional info isn't that bad. It's something like 189 for 5 big wings. Reasonable if you ask me. :tongue:

    We make our own hot wings (hot drumsticks for the kids, lol)... Use BBQ shake and bake, and coat your wings. Place them on a foil covered cookie sheet and sprinkle with tobasco sauce. You don't need a lot of tobasco, a few drops per wing at most. Then bake and enjoy! They come out sooo yummy, I don't even like the hot wings you can get at restaurants any more.

    Checking in....

    I did not do the challenge yesterday :ohwell: it's TOM and I get the worst cramps in the world so I sat at home with a heating pad and read. :frown:

    I'm good with the no-bread today though, that's a pretty easy challenge for me :happy:

    And the Saturday challenge will be changed with like the Sunday challenge cause I'm going out for Girl's Night Out which includes mexican food, rodeo and country dancing....I'm not a cowgirl but I'm gonna act like one!:devil:

    I'm still going to weigh-in Thursday but I'm nervous since it's that time of the month and I retain a lot of water...so 10 glasses today and 10 glasses tomorrow to flush it out!!

    OHHHH and 3 people today have told me I'm looking super skinny!! Love love love that! Especially when it's people who don't know I'm actually working out and eating right :laugh: :laugh:

    Love you gals you are sooo motivating and make me feel so welcome! :flowerforyou:

    Hey girls! Checking in :smile: Doing good so far without bread, although it's HARD ;) Had leftovers from dinner (Whiskey Chicken and rice) mixed in with 1 scrambled egg and 1 egg white for breakfast, and a Lean Cuisine Swedish Meatballs as I write for lunch. Yummy!!

    Did I see something about avocados earlier?! :love:

    Hope your cramps get better SOON, girl!! I feel your pain...I don't have TOM anymore (YAY DEPO!!) which is a blessing but not something I want to do forever...but I get cramps like that...bedridden, heating pad on constantly-even while I sleep!! It shuts off automatically when it gets too hot so I can-and nothing but excedrin migraine or vicodin helps. :sad: It hurts to walk 10 ft to the bathroom so excercise is OUT of the question lol So I know how it is!!!! FEEL BETTER!!! And congrats on all the compliments you're getting!!!! :flowerforyou:

    Wow, this thread gets long in a hurry!! takes a girl 15 minutes to catch up when I've been away from the computer for a few hours!! So far I am still bread free today, but not sure if I can make til bedtime!! As soon as someone says you can't have something you want it even more!! I go weeks with no bread, but tonight all I want is a PB and J sandwich!!!

    Jentx, I soooo sympathize with you, girl!! Ya just wanna smack the person that suggests an "extra strength" medicine (blame it on hormones.) It reminds me of that awesome Midol commerical..."You ever been on your period when, like, the man in your life is sick? 'Oh I'm sorry honey, you've got a cold, your nose is running...MY UTERUS IS FALLING OUT!!!!'" :laugh: When those cramps come (thankfully it's been awhile for me) I just wish morphine was an OTC medicine!!!!!! And if that was a taste of childbirth pain, I believe I'd rather just have a hysterectomy. :laugh:

    BWAAAAA HAAAA HAAAAA HAAAAAA

    Doing ok on the no bread. Resisted temptation tonight, because I made cheesy garlic bread for my son and the friend he has over. One of the hardest things I've ever done!

    So, earlier today, our neighbor brought over some strawberries. They'd gotten them from friends who picked them up north. Our neighbors are going out of town, and couldn't eat them.... So we inherited them. Sooo very ripe and delicious, but I'm wondering what to do with them, because I think they will go bad within the next day or so. Kinda leaning towards a strawberry-rhubarb pie. But the calories for that is almost 500 for a 1/8 slice. And we don't cut in eights, we cut into sixes :laugh: Soooo, I'm gonna finish this post and look to see if I can't find a healthier recipe. Or maybe make it with splenda instead of sugar.
