wow the list keeps getting longer and longer0 -
well i am not usually up for breakfast...i am a night owl...i also go to school at night. but i want to start getting up earlier. Maybe even taking morning walks. it's going to be hard, because i am not a morning person! but i finally got off my butt today and did something! i just did the second disc of the one i did yesterday and it kicked my butt more than the other one did. i think i'm going to eat a snack and do the other one. since i have a day today that i don't have to do anything, i want to try to take advantage and get as much working out done as i can! lol.
what are some good breakfast ideas? i don't do cereal. if i have cereal in the morning it makes me sick, don't ask me why. lol. i like shakes/smoothies...any good recipes?0 -

Usually for breakfast I would have a 1/2 cup (before it was cooked) of oatmeal with some brown sugar and a banana. Today, I switched it up and had a 2 hard boiled eggs, some toast and watermelon. It is very filling. Oh and I also have some FRS low cal orange drink too!0

FRS is an antioxidant drink that is promoted as "healthy energy" some people use it to replace red bulls or rockstars in their diets. I use the concentrate version that is only 20 cal per serving. I really like it,because it has helped to make me not as tired in the middle of the day. It was recommend by hungry girl (www.hungry-girl.com). You can find out more from FRS' website (www.frs.com) but be careful if you sign up for their free trial....they will start sending you monthly shipments and charging your credit card!!0 -

You guys are making me hungry! lol! :bigsmile:
My breakfast today was one of those mini bagels,light yogurt and a banana.
That smoothie sounds really good. I might have to try that. I had hard boiled egg yesterday as I was running out the door. That darn egg keep me going in my meeting until about 10 and I ate it at 6:45.
I have been off of pop since December and let me tell you the craving does not get any easier!0 -

Dont give up! You can do this! Eating all that crap wont solv lifes poblems. I found that out the hard way. The gym will make you feel so much better. Go do some kickboxing and will drain all of that negative energy right out of you.
I just found out today that I am diabetic and I do not know what to do. I love those doctors that just tell you that you have this diagnosis but dont tell you how to live with it or control it.0 -

I am sorry about your diagnosis. I have Type I diabetes. I was diagnosed in 6th grade when I was 11. If your doctors don't help you to tell you how to live with conditions like these and how to control them, it is time to get new doctors. Seriously. You just say, "Sorry, I need to do what is best for me" and go find yourself a new set of doctors who care about your ability to take care of yourself and will help you through it. It's not a fun transition, but sometimes it is necessary.0 -

Aww. Don't give up! You'll be ok. Go to the gym - you will feel better. Today I got really upset and binged and now I truly regret it. Don't make my mistake! Hang in there

I have already called a new doctor. I was so upset. I found out more about it on the web than I did at the office. So I am going to make the best of what I have and figure out this all out. They did say that with diet and exercise I may be able to control it with out the medication. So there is hope.0 -

You will be ok. If they think you can control it with diet and exercise, that's fabulous! I test my sugar about 4-6 times a day and have to inject insulin 2 or 3 times a day, on average. It's a pain in the *kitten*. I really should get a pump instead of stabbing myself all the time. I'm considering it. So, I'm happy for you that your probably will not need this. There's always hope. Hang in there...0 -
OMG, Ladies! I can see I'm going to have to check this several times a day to keep up with you all! I'm glad to see so many members, though! Yay red team!!!
-I'm doing terrible on my water intake. I don't think I drink 8 cups a day of ANY liquid! So it's really hard to do with water... :sad:
-I try hard every day to be a morning person. it's helped me more that my hubby has to be at work way earlier than me so I try to get up and see him before he leaves, and now I really miss the extra time I have to myself in the mornings when I keep hitting that stupid snooze...
Anyway, my breakfast WAS an oatmeal packet (of any flavor, they're only like 120 cals and pretty filling), and a hard boiled egg if I had any in the fridge.
As of yesterday, I started making Smoothies. The one I make is a specific recipe I found in Women's health mag. I can post the recipe if you're interested, but I'm at work right now, so it's not in front of me!
It is delicious & I can absolutely see the results as far as increased energy, but the milk/yogurt/fruit combo in the morning was a little much for me, so I added a piece of toast on the side to help settle the ol' tummy.
-Next week's challenge...I noticed there's another group that exists each month just supporting each other on no late night snacking. (each member decides what "late night" means for her) is that a common problem for us?? I know I love a good snack right before bed... :blushing:0 -
I'm late in... starting at 147.0
