    Welcome Kate! You are having great success so far. We will hop right through Easter with success. I am focusing on the real meaning of this wonderous day and getting my mind off of jelly beans and maltballs...not to mention chocolate bunny ears. Oh man, my mouth is watering. I guess I am not as noble as I sound. OK Mr. Scale, watch out, there is power in numbers and we are gaining on you! :laugh:

    ndfcdf: your willpower amazes me! Take a bite or two and log it. Hit that exercise for a few more minutes and you will have it in the bag! We are pulling for you!:heart:

    I will give it a shot! I am going to take my nalgene with me, filled with water. We are heading to Mobile for the day on Saturday so I know there is some fast food lunch and Ihop in my future!
    This is going to be my first family weekend when I am actually trying to be "good". Good luck to all!

    OK,
    - double exercise, done!
    - water, in progress.
    Problem: I am just finishing baking my "Crostata" for the party tonight. It will be HARD not to eat it...

    Losing weight is SO math! I lost something every day, with a deficit of about 300 KCal.
    Yesterday, I ate more than I consumed and, of course, I gained...
    Today I consumed already all my calories and it's only 4:00 PM! :-(
    But it doesn't matter b/c I am going to resist. I want to test if the math really drives everything.
    Tomorrow my scale will say it.

    Resist, resist, resist, ladies! Who cares of the pleasure of the moment when we can wear again those jeans?

    When it comes to our homemade ice cream that takes 48 hours to make I have no will power I will dive right on in spoon in hand. One the flip side the last time I had ice cream was Christmas so I have great will power not to make it. I am not going to workout today there is just so much to do and not enough time to do it all but I have workout 5 days this week and would work out today if i didn't have 5 million things to do. Wasn't able to do anything in till after Caia went to bed yesterday so that made my to do list longer for today. Oh the joys of having a baby sometimes. But as far as food and water I am doing great.

    :bigsmile: Walk away from the bunny.....I SAY.....walk away from the bunny......slooowly now.....walk awaaaayyyy :bigsmile: :bigsmile:

    I walked away from that bunny! Ha!:laugh: I exercised this morning and evening and am good on cals. Still gulping water but the night is young. How are the rest of you doing?

    ndfcdf, I don't know if I could stay away from that icecream. I think I would have to have a bit and log the cals. :bigsmile:

    101: it would be hard to stay away from a fresh crostata. I am glad you are far away from me! Although if you invited me I would hop a plane for a good crostata! Hang in there and drink lots of water. Let us know how the math turns out
    tomorrow! :flowerforyou:

    Alice: tell Mr. Bunny that I saw the basket somewhere in Southern Illinois....not at my house mind you! :happy: Also, tell him he is burning alot of cals with all of that jumping around! :laugh:

    Well...trying to stay positive. I did okay yesterday. I indulged in a few drinks (margeritas) and some extra fruit and whole grain tostitioes with salsa that put me over my calorie count for the day. I can't exercise because my neck and shoulders are in such pain! I can hardly move! My injuries sure nmake me want to sit down and do nothing but eat and drink. I'm trying really hard today. Going to say no to the pumpkin pie at dessert. I feel so awful about not doing my daily exercise, but I just hurt sooo much.

    Did 1130 calories in exercise. Ate well. Today however I am cooking all day. Call this a calorie zig zag day>

    HAPPY EASTER!

    I failed miserably with the challenge. Instead of working out with my friend/trainer, we ended up going to a comedy club and then for drinks. :laugh: Fun night, but went way over on calories. :tongue:

    :happy: Did okay yesterday. Did a 1.5 mile run/walk and stayed under my calories. Yet......the scale did not move. :grumble: and has not moved in a while. I think it's stuck :grumble:

    :bigsmile: On the other hand....I feel fit and I know I AM fit. My clothes fit better. :bigsmile:

    :flowerforyou: :flowerforyou: :flowerforyou: Therefore FAB.....I really like the "skinny" days you challenge me with. It definitely helps, especially on the weekends, when staying on track is so much harder.

    Have a great Easter Sunday. I am going back out there for a run. Seriously want to give more effort to the outside activities.

    Rebel
