Twenty Somethings Week 1

kistinbee · July 2008

Thought I'd start the thread for this morning. How about we all post our weight this morning and then add our meals and exercise throughout the day. We can continue to do this throughout the week, and then next Tuesday start a "Twenty Somethings Week 2" Thread. Sound good? I'll check back in a bit with my weight and what-not, just wanted to get this going!

Have fun! And good luck!!:flowerforyou:

I want to join the 20 somethingers!

I can't weigh myself this morning, waaaay too bloated. But my last weigh-in put me at 179lbs, which means I have just 29lbs left to lose.
I havn't eaten yet today but my plan for breakfast is:

1 strawberry yogurt- 35 cals
1 bowl instant low-sugar oatmeal- 120cals
water

and lunch:

I lean cuisine- chicken and vegetables- 270cals
1 lemon yogurt- 35cals

I don't have an excercise plan for today, but hopefully a nice loooooooong and brisk walk will be in my near future.

ohthatbambi · July 2008

Well I weighed in this morning. It was not pretty. I did not have a great weekend...a binge you might say. So the scale says I am up two pounds from last week. Honestly, I figured it would be more, but up at all was a bit disappointing no matter what I was expecting.

So here is to week one. I feel renewed and ready to conquer this 20 pound challenge.

Week one - I weigh in at 162

Breakfast - A BIG (double helping) my strawberry banana smoothie (110 calories x 2) =220
Lunch - I am having a tomato sandwhich and some canteloupe
Dinner - zucchini casserole
Snacks - fruit
Ritz crackers with cheddar cheese

kistinbee · July 2008

So, weighed in this morning and have lost another pound Yay! So, here's the stats:

Week 1: 171.5
Goal (by week 13): 151.5

I also plan my meals for the day, and then the only thing I add (based on exercise and how hungry I am, is the PM snacks. So, I'll post everything for the day except the PM snacks and add those later. I do drink plenty of water, usually more than the recommended. I won't post it b/c I drink it throughout the day.

Monday:
Breakfast--1 Lenders Blueberry Bagel with 2 tbsp Fat Free Strawberry Cream Cheese, 8 oz. Diet Cranberry-Grape Juice, 1 multivitamin

AM snack--1 Kashi tlc Soft baked Blackberry Graham bar, 2 c. coffee with 2 tbsp Sugar Free Vanilla Caramel Creamer

Lunch--Tuna Salad Sandwich: 2 sl. 40 cal wheat bread, 1 single can tuna in water with 1 tbsp Light Hellmans Mayo and 1 tbsp relish and 1 sl. Free American cheese. 14 baby carrots, 6 oz. AE Yo Lite Yogurt, and a diet coke.

Afternoon snack--1 medium apple, 100 cal. almond pack, Nature Valley Pecan Crunch granola bar

Dinner--Skillet Lemon Chicken with Asparagus (The recipe I'm sharing below) and 1 baked Red Potato with I Can't Believe it's not butter Spray

Exercise plan: 45 minute Step class, 15 minute Ab workout

Again, I'll post later confirming my workout and evening snacks.

Skillet Lemon Chicken with Asparagus
Serves:4

1 bunch asparagus (about 1 lb)
1 lb boneless skinless chicken breasts
1/4 tsp each salt and pepper
1 tbsp vegetable oil
1 onion, chopped
2 cloves garlic, minced
1/4 tsp dried thyme
1 c. sodium reduced chicken stock
2 tbsp lemon juice
1 tbsp cornstarch
1 tsp grated lemon rind

Cut asparagus diagonally into 1 inch lengths, set aside. Cut chicken into 1-1/2 inch cubes and sprinkle with salt and pepper. In large skillet, heat half the oil over medium-high heat and brown chicken about 6 minutes. Transfer to plate. Add remaining oil to pan, fry onion, garlic, and thyme, stirring occassionally until onions are softened about 3 minutes. Return chicken and add asparagus and chicken stock. Cover and simmer until asparagus is tender-crisp, about 2 minutes. Meanwhile, wisk together lemon juice, cornstarch, and lemon rind. Add to pan and cook, stirring until thickened, about 1 minute.

Good morning fellow 20-somethings!

Well, I'm really not sure I quite believe it, but I stepped on the scale a couple of times this morning and it kept coming up as 201.0 lbs!!! Man I hope that's real!!!

I'm on the west coast so I'm just up and haven't made bkfst yet but I suspect this is our menu for the day:

bf: 1 packet organic low sodium oat meal w/ 1 tbsp natural peanut butter and 1 sliced banana

snack: fresh bing cherries & 2 slices skim milk cheese

lunch: (we usually snack through the day rather than having a dedicated lunch) carrots & red pepper hummus, more cherries (they're abundant right now), some almonds...

post-work out snack: chocolate whey protein shake

supper: casserole (ground turkey, onions, garlic, red pepper, tiny bit of rice noodle, tomato sauce, baked in the oven with a little skim cheese on top)

Depending on cals I may have a healthy choice chocolate pudding too. I tend to have a lot of cals left over. Today I'm hoping to bike with my little ones in the bike trailer across the city to one of the beaches. It's usually about a 800-1000 calorie ride all together. We'll see what they want to do!

A 20something group, good idea!

This morning I clocked in at 253, same for 2 weeks.

Had an english muffin with peanut butter and a banana for breakfast.
For lunch I had left over meatloaf slice x2 and a half cup of homemade mashed taters.

Dinner Is going to be boiled tortellinis with mixed veggies.

Today is my arm workout day, so minimal leg/cardio,

35 min running/jogging/treadmill
and 35 minutes of weight lifting/ strength training. (rowing, curls, etc)

Im going camping this weekend so the good news is lots of activity and swimming galore and hitting the beach, bad news is that there will be plenty of booze and extra days away from the gym starting thursday night!

Weight: 155 (I'm hiding the scale until next week)
Breakfast: egg whites & diced ham

I just finished restoring a vintage bike & I'm still a little wobbly on riding it but I'm heading out the door now, hopefully avoiding the rain, and going to ride for as long as i can handle it.

Check in with my next meal

Good luck team!

kistinbee · July 2008

Hope everyone's Day 1 is going well! I've got a few more hours here at work. Done well so far. Then headed strait to the gym for my workout! I'm pretty sure I'll have extra calories after dinner and may have to have something to cure my sweet craving (darn monthly!:grumble: ). So...might have some Pinapple Sherbert with a little Sugar Free Cool Whip! Yum!

But we'll see...I'll post again this evening!

I wish you all luck friends!!!:flowerforyou:

artschoolgirl · July 2008
