Good Afternoon guys!! I have had a pretty good day so far..I ate half of a grilled chicken salad from wendys and a coke (my weakness):blushing: This week our post will be here and next week we will be on week two..Im not sure what I am having for dinner yet..Havent got any excercise in due to a medication adjustment and total lack of energy!!! :grumble: But they say it will get better over time so fingers crossed:ohwell: Tomorrows challenge will be to get at least 30 mins of cardio in and no junk food!! If anyone has any ideas for future challenges feel free to post them and I will write them down...Other than that, I hope everyone has a good evening and great morning!! Jessica:flowerforyou:

Hello,
I'm having a pretty good day too! Started with an apple and a cup of coffee w/ some stevia. Then had non-fat greek yogurt and berries for a snack. A salad w/ vinegar only and soup for lunch. Planning on eating some protein after my workout tonight. Going to the gym for 30 mins of cardio and a PowerFlex class (60 mins of circuit-weight lifting). I really wanna loose 5 lbs in the next 3 weeks. So hope we all keep each other motivated.
PS. so far i have drank about 9 or 10 glasses of water.

Glad for the 30 min. cardio challenge...haven't been to the gym in forever and need to go. Had a good day today eating wise and did tons of yard work beacuse it's so nice out. Yard work isn't necessarily fun...but...burning the calories is nice. 0

HI all, Well the Easter Break is over and I only gave in to a little bit of chocolate (mind you once I tasted it it was hard not to eat the whole egg). I had to work over most of Easter and it was really busy so that helped cut down on the temptation but tomorrow is my day off so who knows what that will bring!!!! catch up with you later. Ellie0

Hey all!! ... I didn't do too bad today. I actually had oreos
and I might get to have another fun snack like popcorn! whoo. I am just feeling snacky tonight, which is bad...but I'm trying to stay below my goal! I ran W2D1 of the C25K ... I thought I was going to die at one point, seriously! I took my dog, I think he kept me aware of my speed which was good!
Hopefully I will keep it up. Tomorrow is supposed to be my weigh in day, so I might go ahead and weigh in, because I'm too curious not to! LOL
I won't be able to do the 30mins of cardio... I have to work 12hours tomorrow for my preceptorship! BOO HOO! =(
Hope each of you have a wonderfully healthy day tomorrow!!

Found the new board! Definitely down for the challenge tomorrow, the more I exercise, the more calories I get which gives me a little flex room! Today overall wasn't bad. I totally derailed the morning with a Panera bagel, did anyone know that the whole grain bagel has 330 calories, yikes! And I am on call so no opportunities to exercise and even out, but I made the adjustments and was only 146 positive, so there's something. And I was good on Easter treats so I'll count this.
Nicole, hope you're having fun on your vacation! My fiance and I don't have anymore time out until our honeymoon, but that's something to look forward to. BuffJess hope the energy level gets better soon!
And to the gym tomorrow...0 -

Hello Everyone,
So far so good today. I'm having black coffee and a banana for breakfast. Brought my healthy snacks to work so I won't be temped. Going shopping for lunch to buy healthy food.
I plan on doing 30 minutes of cardio and a 90 minute Yoga class this evening. Might even treat myself to a mani and pedi before hitting the gym see if I have time for that.
I hope you all have a great day and make healthy choices.
Hit me up for any encouragement.

I'll def try to fit in my 30 min of cardio today (hopefully more), and still aiming for the 64 oz of water. I'm in a bowling class right now, and even though you don't burn off barely any calories, it sure is fun! I'm in college, and dorm food is always pretty over-processed and calorie filled, so I'll try my best to make healthy choices! Weigh in is on Friday right? Good luck everyone!0

Gertrude Hawk chocolate peanut butter smidgetts thingys should be illegal...I only gave into one, and still plan to meet the 30 minute cardio challenge!0

Quaker high fiber oatmeal to go for breakfast w/ apple (I'm always running late!) and salad for lunch. I'm going to try to run a couple of miles then do this TRX class at my gym today (uses the core a lot!) . Still drinking my water...0
-
For lunch I had 10 leaves of romaine lettuce chopped, vine tomato, onion, red pepper, 3 boiled egg whites and tuna. I mixed my tuna with Tzatziki cucumber yogurt dip (it tastes great..don't knock the dip until you've tried it lol)
345 cals
12g carbs
8g fat
42g protein
16 oz water0 -
I just did 50 minutes of cardio (Zumba style) with a few of my friends tonight...so I def have like 500 cals even after dinner ... (spaghetti btw) ... So I am going to have to have something sweet!!! =D ... I know it was a challenge not to, but how often does one have 500 cals left after dinner!! haha0
-
Dinner: 400 cals
Salmon - 5 oz
2 cups baby spinach
1 cup Sweet Snap Peas
5 spears of Asparagus
17g carbs
17g fat (mono)
44g protein
Todays workout: P90X Cardio X - 600 calories burned0 -
Wow, I need to try P90X! Had hummus/veggie protein slice/spinach sandwich and tomato soup for dinner, dannon lite yogurt for dessert, ran for 40 min and did circuit training. Also had a bit of wine but I have 350 cals left and it's so tempting to find something to eat just to eat, but I'm actually not hungry so in the spirit of forming good habits i'm holding off. Do you guys always eat ALL of your workout cals even if you're not hungry? (fyi, I've been on these boards enough to know this is a hot topic 0

I know that some people feel otherwise, but if I'm under on my calorie count because of exercise and I'm not hungry, I don't necessarily eat just to make up those calories. I never let myself have lower than a 1350 calorie day because that's my BMR. Most days that's not a problem of course (because I love to eat!), but sometimes if I'm eating lots of veggies or lower calorie foods AND exercising a lot in that day, the calories just don't add up that fast. I've always felt like in order to lose, there needs to be a calorie deficit. And if some days that difference is greater than other days, then that can be considered a good thing, and not a bad thing...
But then again, I'm no expert, and still not at my goal weight, so who am I to say?! That's just my opinion anyway... 0 -

I agree with you 100%...thats why I make sure my 3 main meals ( Breakfast, Lunch and Dinner) are at least 350-400 cals (healthy choices of course.. I eat my Complex carbs with Breakfast and Lunch. I eat Simple Carbs (veggies) with Lunch & Dinner and (fruits) with my in between snacks. The only simple carbs people should be eating are fruits and veggies. You can treat yourself to a piece of chocolate or brownie, but, be responsible.
It's a beautiful day outside everyone...lets burn the fat away !!!!0 -
Loving all the meal ideas!! Thank you for the continued motivation!! Hope you girls have a great day!0

Hello Ladies,
So not everything went as planned yesterday. I eded up with 450 calories at the end of the day, but mostly all of it was to be protein and I had no fat or carbs left... so I didn't know what to eat. Can any of you help me with high protein, low fat and carb snacks? I ended up just drinking a ton of water and going to bed.
I wasn't able to get to the gym. I did some core work at home. But that was it.
I do have planned to do a 60 circuit training class and then a 90 minute Yoga class tonight. So new day, new start.
Hope you are all having a good one.0 -
Unfortunately I was over my goal yesterday due to beer and 1/2 grilled cheese sandwich. (Tuesdays are quizzo night.) And my boyfriend and I got distracted and never actually made it out of the house for a jog yesterday evening. But I'm feeling good today and am on set with my calories. Planning to do yoga tonight after laying out and enjoying the sunshine.
Do most of you pack your lunches for work? Any suggestions for healthy lunch choices from the deli? I usually try to pack my lunch but sometimes don't have food or enough time in the morning.
Great job everyone! Keep it up for weigh-in on Friday!0 -
I 64 min of cardio with my man Shawn T. Still lunch time here. Having a salad with a boiled egg.0
-
NYGoddess77 - I love your recipe with the cucumber yogurt dip and tuna, sounds good!
Reading everyone's posts really helps me stay on track, have a birthday coming up at the end of the month and I want to COMFORTABLY fit in my jeans when I go out LOL!!!! Have a good evening everyone.0 -
15min run warm up and 60 min circuit training class which I count as cardio b/c my heart is racing the whole time!
I usually do pack my lunches for work and I usually try to do most of it the night before. I work in a hospital and you think the food would be good but surprisingly there aren't a lot of options. I sometimes do a grilled veggie burger (could also do the grilled chicken), soup that is vegetable based, or veggies, hummus, but honestly most of what is there is fried, deep dish pizzas, creamy pastas. I'm better off staying away from it altogether!
Any ideas for healthy, filling on-the-go breakfasts? I'm so sick of the granola bar thing and I leave pretty early so breakfast before doesn't really work.0 -
I am VERY passionate about giving blood, and my 56 days were up on April 2nd. I am planning a blood drive at my church June 11th with a friend, so I needed to give this week to be able to give at the blood drive! ... So today was hard diet wise. I did my best, I did snack quite a bit though because I needed the calories.
I decided to run, which I probably shouldn't have due to less blood and oxygen carrying capicity. But I don't want to get off track, I run M-W-F and I do NOT want to get away from that. I ended only 58 calories over, which in light of giving blood and what I ate... I don't think that was too bad.
Because my run I was 208 over... so at least I ended with less!
Hope each of you are having a good day! It's idol time!!
Night loves!0
