Over 200 Club New Year New Me Part 45

Good morning ladies! I'm all caught up on the posts! Been to the gym twice this week. I am no longer 5 pounds up I am 6! BOOO!But as I went to balance my checkbook (Yes I still do that) I can see why! So...here's to not eating out this week except for my meeting at work tomorrow. And who can guess what kinda food it is? Mexican! KILL ME!! I'm planning on hitting the gym tonight as well or running on my treadmill at home tonight. Hope everybody has a good day! :drinker: :flowerforyou:

Good morning ladies. It's been a busy one already, I started this post a couple of hours ago! So I'd better make it quick.

checking in for yesterday:
calories: over by about 150- but good on carbs
exercise: none
water: bad
proud: made some good food choices yesterday, and went SHOPPING for some healthy food
challenge: I didn't do all that great - I had 3 fruits but only 1 vegetable

My head is feeling better so I don't think I will be going to the doctor unless my headache comes back. My neck/back/shoulder were all pretty sore this morning doing step class - but I am relieved that my headache is gone.

My nutrition class last night was about how you need to eat enough healthy fats to 'heal' your metabolism - kind of boring as it was stuff we have gone over already. They recommend 2-6 fish oil pills a day. I currently take 2, I guess I might up it to 4.
The best thing about last night's class was that my instructor brought a snack that she made us all try. It was in the recipe book but sounded awful so I would never have tried it if she hadn't brought it. I think it will become a regular breakfast of mine now when I need something quick and light before I work out. It is 1 banana, 1 avocado, 1 scoop of vanilla whey protein powder (or 2 scoops for more protein - but I'm not sure that I would like that as well) - that makes 2 servings and is a balanced breakfast (meaning protein, healthy fat and carb). You mash it all up and it tastes like banana pudding (you don't taste much of the avocado, but it is very green). I'm not sure how well the 2nd serving would keep - the avocado will probably turn brown. I ate my half and left the other half for my kids to try - they weren't that impressed but I thought it was very yummy.

<snip> We did discover the Imogen was a destroyer in the British Navy in WWI & sank on my freaking due date in 1940! C'mon, if that's not a "sign..."

So, for the record, that's a typo and should read "WWII" and not "WWI."

Teresa: I'll have to send you an email. The cleanse sounds interesting and it's from a magazine I love!

Momma (Sherry, right?): The hummus and turkey pita sounds delicious. Right after I read it, I was totally craving hummus, too! Love that stuff with pretzel thins. Yum! Glad to hear all of your kids are doing awesome in school, even Ryan! Yay!

Julie: I think the name Charlotte increased in popularity due to Sex in the City. Seriously.

Deb: Glad to hear Jeremy is doing better after his scary fall. That's a lot of stitches! Yikes!

Laila: Did you hear Jillian Michaels' sequel to 30DS, called Ripped in 30, comes out March 1st? You can preorder on Amazon now. I thought of you when I got the email about it and thought I'd pass it along. One woman on Amazon reviewed it because she got a chance to try it early for being a member of Jillian's website and she had raving reviews, saying it's even better than 30DS. I might order it just for something different. Then again, I'm a workout DVD addict (well, buying, not always doing)!

Jess: I balance my checkbook, but I round everything to even numbers. I helps me "cushion" my account for when I forget to write something down. I've never been a "to the penny" type of girl, especially with online banking. I'm bad, I know!

I'm bummed because the Sign Language class I registered for is being canceled due to low registration numbers. But I'm super excited because it means I'm getting my $70 refunded and can buy new running shoes sooner than expected. I'm going to get fitted for them at a real running store this time! Yay! My current shoes are due to be replaced (I figure a blister from shoes that never gave me blisters before is a good indicator).

Checking in for yesterday:
Points: On target, with 6 exercise points banked for later!
Water: 84.5 oz.
Exercise: ChaLean Extreme Burn it Up (cardio) and Recharge (yoga). The cardio video was SO much easier than I remember from when I last did it in November. It was almost *gasp* fun! I was sweating like mad even though it's only a 27 minute workout...I think Chalene could give Jillian a run for her money.
Proud: That even though I was up 1.8 lbs. on the WW scale, I didn't let it sidetrack me and I honestly am not bothered there was a gain. I had a lot of sodium on Sunday, but my jeans feel looser, so I'm still happy. I'm working really hard on not letting the scale determine my mood.
Challenge: Fail! Had two servings of veggies and one serving of fruit.

Hi Everyone I'm here !!!!
I've been reading posts when I can but having a busy week on top of not feeling so great....sorry y'all

TStout - sorry, sounds like you are going through a lot, however bad it is now, it will pass...

Deb - excited for your house countdown, sorry about hubby's head, ouch !

Cris - time to kick his butt. I would be so mad if I came home to a messy house every day.

Momma - love that hummus lunch, I often have something very similar, toasted wheat wrap, hummus, chopped tomatoes, cucumber, lettuce, avocado, pear and pumpkin seeds inside. They mix all the ingredients together first then put it in the wrap. So yummy and the pear is a nice touch.

Can't remember anything else, sorry.........I'll be back for weigh in for sure.

xoxo

Lildebbie: I hope all will be well soon with your husband and hopefully the doctor will have some answers for him today.

Welcome andyz_grrrl, and congrats on your weightloss!

I am starting to get real worried , what if there is something very serious wrong with him. He is my whole life and i cannot imagine life without him.

Y'all are in my thoughts! I hope it's nothing major. He could just be feeling off today due to the fall. Sending positive vibes your way.

Okay so I've never had hummus! What does it taste like!?

Thanks girls. They confirmend he didn't have have a concussion from the ct scan , it is more of the dizzy/jittery that has me concerend it almost sounds like a blood sugar thing. He hasn't had a physical since i have known him (almost 13 years) he had his chol checked at a health fair, and i guess blood sugar, it said glucose , thinking that is the same thing. It was right on the border it said should be under <100 and his was 100. BUt he never had any issues before with blood sugar...especially after loosing like 60 lbs. He is only like 15 lbs away from being "overweight" per BMI and not Obese. FOr a guy at 6'3 not thinking 250 is relaly that bad, of course he has some to loose.

THanks for letting me vent :sad:

Morning ladies

Writing from "sunny" Wadsworth, Ohio (near Akron). Mom is recovering well. (Scary note though... all of her problems may be hereditary)

Things are looking a little better... just breathing and getting things done one at a time.

Pleasant surprise this morning - I have successfully logged in for 60 days in a row! I was beginning to worry I had missed a day.

Thanks for everyone's thoughts and prayers.
