    We have to do all the packing and moving ourselves. More exercise for me I guess. Yeah, I think I need to just start getting rid of some of the food that's in our house. And no more buying special snack stuff for my husband unless it's something I don't like.

    Good luck at the game tonight Kim. Hotdogs sound good to me right now. Too bad we have a bunch in the fridge and some hotdog buns that we, uh, don't want to have to pack....

    Shannon, that's my biggest problem right now. I need to stop the snacking. Have fun with the turbo fire tonight. I hope it goes well.

    I did pretty well when we were packing to move. We didnt have the extra food to eat but ate out too much because of the lack of food. With all the moving I ended up losing a few when all was said and done. I hope the same result for you brit. Moving is not fun even when you want to do it and know where you are going.

    I did my turbo fire. I really tried to put more into it and did burn a few more cals. I didnt get my little stretch in but I think ill do the extended one when my kids go to bed. It sounds really good right now.

    Hello? hello? Is this where I am supposed to be? I couldn't find the thread...
    Lushed Friday Saturday and tonight, please all of you, I don't care where you are from or which team you are for but pray that basketball season ends tonight. The playoffs have put a serious crimp in my weight loss advancement. I am still going down but nothing like I could have been. Sorry to say, I probably won't have a big whopping loss this week like we all hoped. Hopefully at least a loss though. I need some motivation to get back on track with counting calories. I have made breakfast and lunch menus for the week, now for dinner.... suggestions? Something easy DH can make as he usually does dinner and if not directed it will come out of a frozen box. Tonight is chicken taco's though.

    Kim, sorry about the company :laugh: I'm sure that puts a crimp in your plans too.

    Welcome Debbie! Well, basketball is over, you are meaning the NBA right? I don't watch it but I know its over. I'm a hockey fan myself, and that only has maybe 2 games left, we'll see. Anyway - its over so now you can move on for healthier choices. Chicken tacos sounds great!! Hmmm, how bout maybe having some things around to grill - grilling is pretty healthy, or it can be. You can have some low-cal sides. I have a recipe for an awesome asian coleslaw that goes good in the summer. Burgers aren't bad either depending on the condiments, and bunless are even better.

    Kim - rought night huh? Well, up the water and the workouts. F/V are good! Make some lighter choices today and tomorrow and you'll be all good! Positive thinking chica!

    I'm feeling pretty good. I have good foods at work, so no fast food and icky snacking. Leftover homemade chicken noodle soup for dinner tonight, or tomorrow. I have burger I need to cook up and make something with that. Continuing my workouts and hoping to see some poundage change in the next 4 weeks. :smile:

    I am hoping that this is water weight. We will see. The company is gone so I am able to focus on the things that I need too. The only thing is the ballgames every night and whether to eat before or after them. So, goals for today are:

    Eating an early dinnner at 5:30...maybe, a 200 calorie snack at 8 - 8:30 if I need one
    5 Fruits/Veggies
    Logging calories for the next 2 days...weighing and measuring like like a mo fo'
    No booze...except that we are supposed to go meet some people at a restaurant for their son's birthday after the ballgame. I think I might just send hubs with a gift so that I don't face temptation :devil:
    60 to 90 minutes of exercise each day
    96 oz of water :drinker:

    Wish I could rig my scale somehow....:happy:

    I don't think I could stand on one leg and still take a pic of my number. Besides, I would think all your weight would still be on the scale, but I really don't know how they work. I just keep taking off more clothes til I have no more. :laugh:

    I have 5 kettlebell classes that I am signed up for...if I don't get eliminated this week, I will come back superstrong...wonder who's going to get Immunity?

    Wonder what the FF's are up too?? I hope up 2 to 3 lbs :laugh:

    I'm making Carolina Pork Chops tonight

    Ingredients
    1 teaspoon garlic powder
    1 teaspoon onion powder
    1 teaspoon sugar
    1 teaspoon paprika
    1 teaspoon chili powder
    1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
    1/2 teaspoon salt
    4 (4-ounce) center-cut pork loin chops
    Cooking spray
    1/4 cup barbecue sauce

    Preparation
    Prepare grill.
    Combine first 7 ingredients in a small bowl. Rub pork with spice mixture; let stand 10 minutes.
    Place pork on grill rack coated with cooking spray. Grill 4 minutes. Turn pork; grill 2 minutes. Brush each chop with 1 tablespoon sauce, and grill 2 minutes or until desired degree of doneness.

    Note: An easy rub flavors these grilled chops. Let them stand about 10 minutes before grilling, allowing the meat to absorb the flavorful spice rub.

    Well I'll just say, unless everyone else is having a terrible week, I'm not going to get a third win this week :( Tomorrow we have to go back to where we're moving to sign papers on a house, so we'll be out all day and probably eating somewhere I shouldn't.

    Those pork chops sound great. I'm going to have to try those some night, my husband loves pork chops.

    Brit...at least you found a house!!!

    Try to eat at Panera or Applebee's where the calories are listed up front. As for the pork chops, I'll let you know the concensus from the family (hubs & 4 kids). Anyway, they look uber easy to make and that's all I care about right now.

    Don't forget you get the 0.5 lb advantage for this weigh-in. That is definitely going to beat me.
