    For breakfast this morning I had a broccoli cheese omelet made with 2 egg whites, 1 egg, 1 cup broccoli and 2 slices of cheese. I wish I could learn to eat this without the cheese.

    :drinker: Remember to keep drinking that water!:drinker:

    Have you tried Kraft naturals fat free cheese? It's really not that bad...you get use to it. Every now and then, I will treat myself to 2% cheese or 1/4 of the amount I normally use of full fat cheese.

    Natural and fat free do not belong in the same sentence together................. :laugh: :laugh:

    You are ABSOLUTELY right!!! :laugh:

    Breakfast this morning - I had 1 cup of rice krispies and 1/2 cup skim milk...no sugar :grumble: ...and 25 ounces of water. I have already entered my food for the day and will stick to it. It is already prepared. Didn't get any exercise last night (I hate organized exercise!!! I'd much rather trick myself into exercising by playing some sort of game or dancing or swimming), but tonight is family night at the skating rink and my son and I are going. Pray that I stay vertical the entire night! :tongue:

    good morning everybody. Couldn't workout last night as I donated blood instead. They call me with the actual name of the kid who needs it, so how can I say no? (I'm a pediatric donor). Anyhoo, after that I went to a clothing store and found a cute long knit skirt and tried it on in a medium and IT FIT!!!!! I haven't been in a medium ANYTHING for 2 years! woohoo!:drinker:

    Brekkie today is low sugar oatmeal with skim milk and a huuuuuge Morning Thunder tea.

    For lunchies I brought a morningstar farms soy chicken patty and whole wheat bread plus some grapes and a light yogurt for snackies.

    Have a super day everybody! :flowerforyou: By the way - it is hotter than the ****ens here (Miami). It was already 85 degrees when I left my house in the dark at 6 a.m.!

    Or Cabot 75% Reduced Fat Sharp Cheddar? You'd have to shred it yourself, but I like it more than "regular" cheese. A 1ounce (1inch by 1 inch cube) serving has only 60 calories and it's AMAZING :love:

    Sounds like everyone is off to a great start. I started my morning with a 5k walk (3.1 miles)

    Breakfast was a broccoli, red pepper and cheese 2 egg omelet.

    Hope to get an hour bike ride in this afternoon. ( I do home daycare and have my bike on a trainer in my office so I can ride while the kids nap)

    Good morning everyone. I had a good work out with Richard Simmons last night. I tried the 30 day Shred again and I just can't do it yet. The jumping jacks just aren't for me yet, too much jiggling around to be jumping!!!
    I think I will do some laps in the pool tonight and follow that up with some Sweatin to the Oldies tonight.
    I just had and herbalife shake for breakfast and in an hour or so I will have a banana for a snack. I am trying to incorporate more fruits into my diet but I just don't like allt he sugar they have, even though it's natural. But at least I am trying. I already do well on the veggies. I got in quite a bit of water yesterday too, which isn't easy for me. So all in all, I think I had a really good day yesterday. I am hoping for a repeat or better today.

    Have a good day everyone and STAY HEALTHY!!!

    Memaw


    I love sweatin to the oldies!!! Years ago I did it all the time, but the ol vhs just doesn't like to play very well anymore. Hopefully sometime soon I will get the dvd. There is nothing like dancing for exercise! It makes it so fun!

    I would like to join this group. I haven't set a goal for a while now so this will be good for me. I would like to lose 2 pounds per week or a little more so by Christmas I would like to be at 275.:embarassed: 250 would be even better but I'm not going to push it. I know that's a lot more than most but I'm trying to do this right this time and take it slowly so I don't gain all this mess back.

    Woohoo! Congratulations! I can't wait to I lose enough that I can go shopping again and buy cute outfits.

    I donate blood too and have my appt on Sat. So it looks like my weekend hike will have to be on Sunday.

    Take care all!

    Good morning, as well!

    Had another very rushed morning! I think I am going to have to buy a new alarm clock, as apparently the one I have is broken! So, with only 20 minutes to shower, dress and get ready for work, I had to get another bagel from timmie's on the drive to work. Oh well, it will be ok as long as I keep a good eye on everything I eat today!

    Have a happy one everyone! :smile: :flowerforyou: :drinker:

    Welcome everyone.

    Just change the dates for Monday weigh-ins.

    It was a cold windy morning here and I almost talked myself out of my morning walk, but then I decided to do a short one but once I got out there and got moving I got in a 3 mile walk before it was time to head home and start working.

    Don't let the weekend interfere with the healthy eating and exercise! (Weekends have been my enemy for diet and weight loss.)

    Keep thinking thin by Christmas!

    Weekends are my downfall too. My uncle is coming into town from New York this weekend and my mother is having a big cookout at the park. As usual, I have been asked to make a trifle. It usually gets devoured in like 10 minutes. Maybe I will take a walk through the park or something right before they serve dessert and it will be all gone when I get back :happy: BUT, she is going to have strawberry cake, pound cake, and some other cake :ohwell: *sigh* this is going to be a struggle, but I CAN DO IT!
