Sexy In Six : Week 3 !!

I know I know....we haven't been waking up with enough time to get a "real" breakfast in.....I need to get up and make it happen. Heck, if I went to the gym in the morning like I SHOULD be doing, time wouldn't be an issue!! I think its hard to accept because I've been the same weight for SOOOOOO long. I watch what I eat...same weight...I work out...same weight. I eat junk....same weight. So for me to FINALLY be losing is an enigma. Or is it an anomaly?
Ok, tomorrow...I will have breakfast...you can hold me to it Rhiannon.
oh oh oh....and I just realized I'm only 6 pounds away from my first goal and getting my hair dyed!! OK. Totally going to rev it up so I can have that done by Thanksgiving!! WOOOO HOOOO!!!!!0 -

Cass, the best thing I've done for myself when it comes to breakfast is getting a rice cooker. Mine is fancy and has porridge and soup settings as well, AND it has a timer. So before bed I put my ingredients in the cooker, set it to start cooking about an hour before we wake up, and when we get up we have hot, hearty porridge. Here's what I put in for my serving plus 2 more servings for my little ones:
1/4 cup steel cut oats
1/4 cup brown basmati rice
2 tbsp millet
1 tbsp flax seeds (whole)
2 tbsp coarsely ground flax seeds (aka flax meal)
2 tbsp organic raisins
2 tbsp goji berries
1/2 tsp cinnamon
1/4 tsp nutmeg
2 1/4 cups cold water
When I serve it I sweeten it with about 2 tbsp apples-only apple sauce. With any left overs I make orange porridge muffins. It was a GREAT investment to get the cooker because nothing is faster than scooping something into a bowl. Even toast requires the toaster first! If you have time to make coffee in the morning, you have time to eat this breakfast out of the rice cooker. I suppose you could also make this in a crock pot on low heat all night. And trust me, this porridge is a GREAT start to the day. I have it many days of the week. It takes a long time to digest and it's so nourishing!
per serving (1 adult serving is 1/2 the recipe above):
cals 278
carbs 49
fat 6g (all from the flax seeds)
protein 9g
sodium 3mg
fibre 7g
There's my spiel about breakfast option 1 for me! hehe0 -
You know...I have been needing to get a rice cooker for a long time now. When we moved 1.5 years ago my rice cooker went missing....this may be the perfect reason for me to get one. :happy: That sounds really good!!
Rhiannon, are you a vegan? I have noticed most of your food is whole and animal free....I was a vegetarian for 16 years. 8 of those years I was a vegan....I've been strongly considering the lifestyle again....but it requires more thought now that I am responsible for feeding more than myself. 0 -
well son brought me a new game. and this one WORKS. so this weekend i will play with it. it tells me the calories i burned and has many lengths for time amounts different types, example: running, walking, tires, monkey bars. i think i will enjoy it. just the 5mins i used it i started sweating. i have been cold all day.
tomorrow is the opening of the fair. i have already made my meals to enclude my dinner of a gyro. they are so good and only 470 calories. plus i will be doing lots of walking. we are going to see three dog night. they have different groups for the nights the fair is here. i had to go buy a new heavy coat today. i outgrew my good winter coat. i had lightweight ones. found one at ross for only 15 bucks. told DH next year i hope to buy my final one and spend a little more on it. LOL. i really hate paying full price for something i won't wear long.
well, off to begin dinner.

Where did you get your Jillian Michaels game? I am thinking about getting it for my mom for her birthday next week.0 -
Hey ladies!
Got up early and hit the gym this morning..did elliptical, treadmill, core exercises on ball and some free weights. Burned 760cals in 60min! Go me
bfast- fiber one cereal and skim milk, egg whites/ snack- cinnamon raisin protein bar and baby carrots/ lunch- didnt have time to eat any but combined it with snack- south beach diet wrap meal- southwestern chk (minus the jello- dont like it with the meal) and some fresh strawberries. dinner will be...not sure yet. Maybe burritos, or soup and sandwich.
Gonna try and go in early tomorrow and meet a friend for AM exercise...we shall see lol.
Pedal- My daughter is supposed to be supergirl...but I dressed her up as a cat for her classroom's trick or treating and she was SOOO cute so I may put off supergirl til next year and have her go as a cat this weekend
cathy- Maybe take a day off tomorrow- if you feel like your body needs a rest- take it! You may be getting sick, and you work really hard all the time so maybe you just need a YOU day And for sure when you get the Wii Fit game again and try it out- let me know how user friendly it is and how intense the workouts are- that is definetly an option I will consider depending how you think it is!!
Hope everyone is having a great day
:flowerforyou: 0 -
got it at game stop, best buy, walmart may have it. i know where he got it i has already sold out.0
-
Cathy just saw your post lol- that game sounds awesome! I may have to go look for a wii this holiday season...isnt it great to have things be so big on you??? My coat (that I bought NEW last year) is way to big for me now- I need a size L, not XXL anymore :happy: Congrats on your mini milestones!!!!0
-
I'll have to start looking around....we have a couple of Game Stops near us and of course Wal-Mart. I am afraid that it'll be sold out everywhere I go...same thing happened with the Wii Fit when she was looking for one of those. Please let us know how it goes when you use it this weekend.0

Good afternoon Ladies- I am a newcomber to your group.
Today was oatmeal/coffee breakfast
lunch - lean cuisine pizza added mushroom and onion and sliced cucumber
supper - either flounder or fajitas - can't decide....have about 700 available for supper/snack
I love my Wii Fit - is it the Jillian Michaels game you are talking about - I want it too!0 -
Thanks Pedal, that makes a lot of sense now!! What would we do without our very own trainer?!
Well my lunch ended up being different today. I was working on a group project and one of the guys felt bad that I was eating an apple and a fiber one bar (which usually is just enough for me at lunch after a big bowl of oatmeal in the morning) and so he gave me and practically forced me to eat half of his Jimmy John's turkey sandwich.
Now don't get me wrong, I LOVE Jimmy Johns but typically get it without the mayo, and sometimes get the unwich. But it is so hard when people are constantly like why are you eating that? here eat some of this, have another piece of pizza. and then if you absolutely refuse it's this awkward oh my gosh, why are you not eating moment when in your head you're thinking well no, I'm not eating now, but I'm having a chicken breast, lots of rice and tons of veggies when I get home so I don't want one of your greasy tacos!!! AHH! :mad:
I think this is part of what makes making better choices and eating healthy things so hard is that now a days there is such a fear (especially in college and grad school age peer groups like mine) that you have an issue with an eating disorder or you aren't taking care of yourself. And I realize that people who give you a hard time about it are probably, let's face it, just upset that they aren't doing the same and making good decisions. But it just gets old always having to explain myself. Sometimes I just want to scream that I EAT PLENTY I just don't eat JUNK anymore!!!
anywho, thanks for letting me rant :flowerforyou: :blushing: I'm done now. Going to pull some chicken out for supper tonight!!0 -

Just tell them you are working on losing weight- toning up and etc If they still insist, tell them you have a sensitive stomach and cant eat alot of processed foods(??). I am a full time college student as well and get offered stuff ALL THE TIME- plus all the free food around campus lol..some club is always hosting something with free food..and then my friends want to go on study lunches and all...Ya just gotta be firm while being kind- you dont have to give in and ruin your waistline just bc someone doesnt understand Its all about learning to match the day to day real world with your own lifestyle changes! I think its something that lasts a lifetime trying to do

I'm a little upset right now. Worked longer than I thought and won't have time to get my run in before BodyPump:grumble: so am counting on BodyPump calories burned only. Oh well. I'll check back later.0
-
I totally feel you Amylou! I have a really hard time turning people down. I just try to make comments in an offhanded way that lets people know I'm eating healthy...an example happened today. I'm judging the costume contest at work and one of the guys said he would bribe me with some pizza...(that is what they will win) and I said "nope, pizza won't do it....now if you offered me a pair of running shoes...we could work something out" I was letting him know that food isn't on my priority list but being healthy is...
Also, we are in the potluck season and I told my Fun Committee (that's what its called) that I'm not going to participate in all of them...then last week one of the girls saw me take a piece of candy and she called me out. It was actually really good because I had a little guard dog watching me. hehehe
I don't even tell people I'm trying to lose weight, I just say....no thanks, and if they give me a funny look or push the issue, I just say....I'm trying to make healthier choices. Then I live it by eating healthy in front of people.0 -
Well ladies today I was extremely busy catching up w/ old friends from dental school who I miss alot. Anyway, I didn't work out today.... not the end of the world. I will be up and ready to do it in the morning. I want to stay motivated.
Anyway,
today I ate tons of bread:
BF: cinnamon toast, turkey sausage link
L: chicken w/ gravy and greens and yams
2 slices of a small pizza and 2 breadsticks, one peach papaya mojito (rare for me)
I drank 10 cups of water today.
Good luck everyone!!!0 -
Hi everyone,
Checking in SUPER early because this will be the last time I'm home today until very very late. Full day of class until 5 and then, not naming any names so I don't sound like I am campaigning or anything, but one of the presidential candidates will be speaking at my campus tonight so I will be standing in line and then attending that rally!! I"m excited. It's the first thing like this that I've been to!
Anyway, enough excuses. I won't be able to work out today because I wont' be home at all, and the meals will be a challenge as well. Thursdays are so busy!! Here's the plan though.
B: cinnamon toast, coffee, coffeemate
L: Tomato soup I have no idea, probably will need to buy something to eat while in line?? subway is close.
S: Fiber One bar, raw almonds, anything else I can find. :P
This will probably change but I will let you know. Have a GREAT day everyone!!!0 -

Good Morning everyone,

Problem for today...won't have time for a workout. Trick-or-treaters come tonight, I still have to get candy AND carve my pumpkins...I know...I know...SO behind! So...if I leave work by 5, I have one hour before the trick-or-treating starts. That gets done at eight and I don't like to run in the dark SO tonight may be my day off...unless I can convince myself to go to the gym after eight for a half hour run...maybe I will do that because with my meal plan I will only have 53 calories remaining for dinner...which is IMPOSSIBLE. So...I should REALLY try and get a run in...either suck it up and go in the dark, OR hit up the gym for a half hour (probably my better bet). Wish me luck friends!!!!0 -
Good Morning,
Pedal, Our weather is supposed to be great here for halloween. How is it supposed to be for your area? I hope its nice, that always makes for a better day.
Cathy, Hope you enjoy the fair. Let us know how it goes.
Amy, Have fun at the rally. I am an election official, so I will be working next tue. from 6am-?? (at least 10pm). I probably will not post that day at all.
drtamm, Need to look up your name. How much is tons of bread? Just wondering if you looked up the calories. I find it helpful even if I did go over to log in my cals. so I know just how much it will be for next time I'm thinking about having a lot of something. Good for you for the great attitude. You go girl.
Kristen, Good for you (staying within your calories), it really has to be ok to have a snack occasionally.
I on the other hand had a big unexpected snack last night. We went to Dairy Queen and I ended up 450 calories over my limit yesterday.
This morning I had an election meeting and knew there would be junk food. I was so prepared to stay away, but it was a homemade cake for someone going away. I had some, it was small though and I counted it. It will be hard to stay within calories today.
Today:
mini wheats, skim milk, blueberries, coffee & cream
small piece of cake & 2oz. apple cider
banana & natural peanut butter
ham & turkey sand
apple
pasta w/bolognese sauce
popcorn
Exercise: walk/jog or bike ride
Hope everyone has a good day :happy:0 -

Kristen, looks like you are doing your best planning. Good luck and have a fun day. Time saver: buy a styrofoam (not really sure if they are stryofoam, but it kind of feels like it) pumpkin, they are already carved and light up. These are great to pop out on the porch for days like this. Tip: buy candy you don't like. Do you have a treadmill? Or what about a quick 20 min. dvd workout like shred? Have fun today.:happy:0 -
Good morning!
Kristin, you'll find a way to work something out Why do you get trick-or-treaters today?
Cass, I'm not vegan although I do realize my diet falls into that category a lot. Most days though I do have some dairy (skim milk for my protein shake or some cheese for my omelette) and most days I have meat like chicken breast or bison or fish. At least many days of the week I do. But I was vegetarian for many many years as well and vegan for a portion of that, however I found it WAY too difficult to get adequate protein and certain vitamins and I'm not comfortable relying on soy for everything because of the phytoestrogen concerns not to mention the damage it can do to my son since he's breastfeeding (it can damage his reproductive tract physically since it is still developing and it can later cause issues with sperm production!!). So I eat very lean animal proteins now and some dairy. I do eat really whole foods but that's because I'm "one of those" people who refuse to put any chemicals in to my body - even by avoiding using teflon. No dyes, refined sugars or grains, excess refined sodium, artificial flavours or contrived ingredients with long names. We also eat all organic and I don't like buying lots of packaging or buying plastic. Finding all those things combined is really difficult so I make everything myself. I love cooking anyway so it works out
AmyLou, that will be exciting! I feel so invested in your election this time... Well, I guess we always are since our countries are so close together. That and the power the US holds when it comes to global events. It will be neat for you to participate in the rally.
Okay, I have to run. Sorry not to get more personals in but I need to get my guys ready for their hallowe'en party today! My meals aren't planned yet as the day is a bit up in the air. I'll be within calories though! You can BET on it!!0 -
Not sure why trick-or-treat night is the 30th here. It was always on the 31st when we lived in Canada. Who knows.0
-
that's odd kisitin for trick or treaters tonight. i live in the south and here if halloween falls on sunday they have it on saturday. that's the only time they change it. i bought candy last year on clearance after halloween and froze it. yup it's stuff i don't like. but did find out smarties are only 25 cals. i do like them. but, can do without.
anyway have fun today.
cathy0 -
Yeah...it's always the 30th for us. It used to be different in different counties here in Iowa, but this year I believe it's the 30th for all of Iowa. WIERD!0
-
Good day sixers!
Hope everyone is having a good day. Mine is going well. It is my first day back to work after vaction. Also my first day back on the wagon after my vaction binging. So of course they have cheese cake and donuts in the lounge today. I have avoided it so far.
I am nervous about trick or treating. We won't be home to pass candy, but we will be out with my son. The chocolate is always such a temptation for me.
Anyone have any tricks to stay away from the treats (pun intended:) )
Diet today:
b- oatmeal and coffee
l- veggies and shrimp, yogurt and fruit
d- turkey and veggies
s- ?
If I stick to this I will be in my cals. I plan to go to the gym if I get out of work on time.
Amylou good for you to learn all you can about the canidates!
Deblaf- be proud you only ate a little piece of the cake.
Kristin- good luck fitting it all in.0 -
Okay...so didn't eat my granola bar this afternoon. Leaves me with just shy of 200 calories left for the day without exercise...so if I'm very careful and get in just a little exercise, I should be okay. But...what for dinner? I don't know yet...I have a Lean Cuisine pizza...filling and yummy...but more than 200 calories...I think it's like 300 and some. We will see. But I promise to be good gals, and I am for SURE getting a good workout in tomorrow after work. Have a good night and I'll check back tomorrow morning!!!Breakfast
