Ok, I am off to work...ate a healthy choice for lunch beef tips portobello...yum
I wish I had a personal chef to make my meals...Jessica your hubby is lucky to have one...LOL...and you clean too...LOL
Well, I am off to work and am planning a ham-hash dinner with grilled chicken covered in bernaise sauce...my kids love ham-hash...I can probably have 3 Tablespoons with chicken and a big salad of course
The plan is to workout tonight for 30 minutes. I have not worked out for 4 days. If I don't work out tonight, someone better yell at me tomorrow!!!! I mean it, give it to me good.
We are halfway to Monday weigh-in...I put the scale away on Tuesday and am not weighing in until Monday...I find myself obsessed with it

Yesterday was the 24th anniversary of the day I met my husband. He was planning to take me out to dinner and then he said "maybe we should be good and skip eating out. We might enjoy it in the short run but we'll regret it tomorrow." We are always trying to lose weight and get sabotaged by special occasions (especially when every other day is a "special occasion" like "Yeah it's Friday," or "Yeah we've been good for one week, let's celebrate by pigging out!" So, we stayed home and ate leftovers (healthy ones) and it was the best thing we could have done. There will be many more chances to go out to eat and many more special occasions. And, we'll both hopefully live longer and get to enjoy more time together, so I'm glad we didn't go out. Oh, and we also walked the dogs together, so got a little exercise in too.

Oooo - the Dal sounds amazing! Butter chicken and palak panner are my indulgences. It's not just the rich cream sauces, but the sodium content must be off the charts.:sick: I just haven't had it in soooo long, so I will enjoy - thanks for the anniversary wishes!I didn't get to exercise last night like I wanted, but I'm going to my deep water fitness class today. I need to ramp it up over the next couple days because tomorrow night I'm going for Indian dinner to celebrate my 5th wedding anniversary, and I will not forgo the butter chicken!! I'll likely do a 10-15 minute run on the treadmill and go for a good walk with my dog - hoping to burn 700+ calories in exercise today.
I am Indian....so I know Our food can be a killer...my makes makes homemade everything including Butter Chicken and Dal Makani (Buttery Lentils)...alll so yummy and I dont know of anyway to make them healthy...have fun on your 5th anniversary Dinner and congrats on being married 5 years
Happy Anniversary!! It's mine too, only 4 years for us. We are going to a casino to stay for the night. I haven't eaten much today because I feel like I'm getting a cold and just have no appetite. I had a fiber bar this morning and soup for lunch. I don't usually do hot tea, but I do when I'm sick. I've had one hot tea and am about to make another. So, with all the walking we'll likely do tonight, I should be ok for my calories for today.
Sara - welcome. I'm from the mitten state too. Congrats on getting married and hopefully you'll be pregnant soon. While I hated being preggo - I LOVE kids.0 -

As I was reading this, I thought well go to dinner and split a meal...then, you ended with a whopper...healthy leftovers at home....awesome
My hubby and I also have that same influence on each other...I don't know if we would be that stong.
Side Note: I got a letter from my son who's in basic training for the Army. He says it sucks and that he is happy that everyone still remembers him from home/work. I wish I could tell him that of course everyone still remembers him. Silly guy. I miss him so much.

Hell everyone and welcome to those who have just joined. You will absolutetly love the group! I feel likeI've missed so much, I hate work, lol. I've been doing awesome! Weighed myself this morning (I'm with ya everydayers lately) lost 1 pound since Monday! Also... had to giggle all the pants I bought 2 months ago, if I take my belt off... FALL RIGHT OFF! Its exciting and a little sad... soon I will have no pants.. I don't know that I'll be able to fit into any of my old pants yet. But still super excited.. Dinner should be yummy. I found these Bistro Sensations Chicken sausage.. it's filled with smoked mozzarella artichokes and garlic.. 1 link is 110 calories and I'm gonna have them in pieces to add to some cheese tortollini and vodka sauce... *drools* Maybe I'll put the recipe on, for once its an easy one for me, 3 ingredient and a delicious side salad!0

Omg I think I lost 5 lbs just now, laughing at this "soon i will have no pants" hahaha I'm in the same boat as you, I'm like well I never budgeted new clothes...lol That's awesome!! Those Bistro Sensations Chicken Sausages are really yummy!
Welcome Rick!
Kim- Aww, that must be so hard on you, your son being gone in the army
He's doing a wonderful thing though and I am sure you are very proud, and we are very thankful he is serving our country! :drinker: 0 -
How exciting to have new people join our group...I think we are awesome for support:
These are the goals that we initially set up (feel free to modify as needed)
Goals:
1) Cardio exercise 3 to 5 times a week
2) Strength training 2 to 3 times a week
3) 3 servings veggies/ 2 fruits per day
4) Review logs, give honest feedback (if someone asks you to do this)
5) Share one new recipe a week that tastes good, easy to make and kids' like
6) Weekly weigh-ins on Mondays
Anyone that's new, tell us about yourself

The hubby wants "Philly Cheesesteak Sandwiches" for dinner tonight..homemade that is.. The first thing that crossed my mind was, OMG ALL THE CALORIES lol. BUT I am going to make his with steak, and mine chicken. Also I have these whole grain sub buns I can use and I'm going to cook the peppers and onions with pam, not oil. Though, that's always how I've made them so nothing there is changing really. Also does anyone else find themselves less hungry? I'm allowed about 1600 calories and have eaten about 400 for the day..and it's almost 7 pm. That's not good..0

Jessica, if you walk around with no pants...you might end up with another BABY!!!! I am wearing some supertight old pants...got rid of the fat jeans this week
Courtney, thanks for the kind wishes...He is my first child, it's weird not to have him around...He will graduate December 4th at Fort Knox, KY....I know I will cry at the ceremony; of course, I cry at Hallmark commericals...I think giving birth made me all sappy.
Off to make ham hash and chicken, broccoli and big salad
Ham Hash (great for leftover ham):
Cubed Ham, Cubed potatoes (frozen is ok)...cook potatoes until nearly done and dump in the ham...sprinking with Cajun seasoning
Cook chicken in skilled until done and sprinkle with Cajun seasoning
When everything is done, put chicken on ham hash and pour bernaise sauce over all of itt. I use a packet from the seasoning section for the bernaise.

oops double post somehow!
Kim - Giving birth made me really sappy too! I am soo emotional now! lol0 -

I have but holy moly I dunno that I could do that one. My calorie intake for the day is 1360 if I don't excercise.. yesterday I buned 420 and went to bed with 360 calroeies left... today I didin't excercise and I'll probably go to sleep with 150 calories left... although its been a long day and a mgd 64 sounds pretty good...0 -

Sorry! wrong button.. had to respond.. I laughed outloud to that, thank you! And yes, my husband realized that was happening and I think perhaps his mood and motivation will change now that more and more changes are becoming visable. I have a few smaller sizes in my closet I'm gonna try on tonight.. if they don't fit now perhaps in a month!! Thanks guys! and YES the chicken sausage was AMAZING! I wanna get the apple chicken with gouda but I didn't see it when I was at the store... I bet my husband won't even notice it's chicken!0 -

My son saw your post that I left up. He noted the cigarettes saved and the $$$$ saved. After he read that, it was like "Mom, that's really good isn't it". He's 11. He thinks you did a good job!!!0 -
I just had Dole Southwest Salad comes with Taco Ranch Dressing, cheddar cheese, sour cream and toritilla chips...I added chicken...I am addicted
Kim0 -
Awe! That's awesome!! Yes it's been quite an accomplishment that I don't take very lightly since my husband smokes and I quit whilst he smoked which only makes it harder. But I have to admit I have no idea how a mother can't quit, I hardly have time to do anything I can't do while holding my daughter! :P Tell your son thank you! And hopefully it will help others struggling with the gross addiction.0

Fresh Express makes one similar it was VERY good, I also added chicken. I believe they also have an asian salad mix I'll be trying next.0 -
Just checking in briefly...
Today at work consisted of me driving around all day to log GPS coordinates. 8 counties and 11 hours later, I am finally home. So, YOU GUESSED IT! Fast food all the way... :frown:
BUT WAIT! :laugh: I had Subway for both Lunch and Dinner!!!! 6" Oven Roasted Chicken for Lunch and 6" Veggie Delight for din din. No cheese on either, both loaded with veggies and only condiment being a little mustard. I had Lay's Light which are only 75 calories per serving and Lay's Baked Sour Cream and Onion which are 140 per serving.
All in all, a really good day for what could have turned out to be a GUT GOBBLING day...
Woo Hoo!
OH! and I have a recipe for a low-calorie Philly Cheese Steak sandwich that if I can find I will pass along to everyone!

Ian - great job on making healthy choices today when it would have been soooo easy to eat typical fast food!
Hey everyone - hope your day went well. Thank goodness tomorrow's Friday!!! I was really hungry again today - not sure why. I did notice that the two Wendy's grilled chicken wraps (minus the cheese) I had for dinner weren't as filling as I expected. Unfortunately I didn't really have anything to pack for dinner this morning, so I had to eat on the go. (either that or eat around 8:30 pm!) At least I looked online at nutrition info ahead of time and picked something that stayed in my plan for the day!
I don't know how many of you have ever eaten a pomegranate, but I've discovered that I really love them! If you've never had one, you should try one - they tend to be in the grocery stores on sale time time of year (they're mostly a fall fruit here in the US). My grocery store even had a little pamplet explaining the best way to open & get the part you eat out. It's tangy and sweet and less than 100 calories for a whole pomegranate's worth of arils (the edible part). It also makes for a good addition to cereal, salads, almost anything!0 -
Ian - great job on making healthy choices today when it would have been soooo easy to eat typical fast food! smile
Thanks Tiff!0 -
Hello Everyone!
Good morning and Happy Friday! Woo Hoo! I hope you all have a great day as well as a good start to your weekend. Stay focused on your goals and you will get there.
If you get off track, just get back on. Simple as that! That's what I had to do this week. Too much junk food earlier in the week, but now getting back into the rhythm and habit of making healthy choices.
Good Luck Everyone!

Ian - Awesome job yesterday on your food choices!!
Tiff - Thanks for the info on the pomegranate! I always wondered what they actually tasted like and how to eat them haha. I might buy some next time I go grocery shopping, they are loaded with antioxidants! Good job to you too for planning out what to get before hand!
I just got up about 30 min ago, had to take my husband to work cause I need the car today :grumble: His engine is being rebuilt in his truck, so we are down to one car for a few weeks, I hate it! lol I'm just eating an apple as I read the messages before I do my work out. It's raining here so I'm not going to go for a walk, instead I'm going to do Leslie Sansone's walking video (not sure which) and of course the 30 day shred, which if any of you haven't done that yet, OMG its hard lol. But well worth it.
Sara - Yes, you definitely are in trouble sweetie!
Jeannie - How are you doing?! We miss you!!!! :flowerforyou:0
