    Good Morning! I worked out this morning again. Dragging butt a bit today. I've been upping my water intake the past two days so that I can flush some of the extra sodium out of my system that I consumed over the weekend. I was retaining a good deal of water from it but think I'm okay now. I was off track with my food yesterday. I took the same amount to work as normal but didn't factor in that I had already worked out. I was feeling sick by the end of the day. I did better today so hopefully that will solve the problem. Boy was I cranky when I was hungry!!

    January-Good luck tonight!! Sounds like fun!

    Elizabeth- Welcome back!!!! Having stuff around you like is hard. I have been doing what you started doing. I still buy some sweet stuff for the kids but it cannot be anything that I like. One Oreo episode was way too much for me to handle. Will power or not...I am still human!!! Food is tough. It really is.

    I hope that the daycare kids were just having a bad week and that this week is more peaceful for you.

    I still have no name ideas.

    Wishing everyone a good wiegh in tomorrow!

    The first week of school is almost over. It has been a busy one and very stressful. We had Welcome Back brunches and lunches! I am really trying to hold my own. I am hoping to get back into a regular exercise routine. We'll see what damage the Costco muffins had on my weight!:cry:
    Patty, the H1N1 must be very scary. I work at a school and so far we haven't had any cases. My friend from Portland came to visit two weeks ago and her 15 yr. old had a mild case. We'll keep you in our prayers.

    I am down 0 pounds. That does not make me feel bad, I am grateful that I did not gain anything. I did not work the plan all week.


    To everyone who lost congratulations and I will join you next week.

    :laugh: Patty, I have been following your postings I have the same weight as you do. I am on vacation and being so close to the frig is such a temptation. I hope I can join up with your group. I think apathy got me into this and also being alone . I have gained nearly thirty pounds in the last five years. I really want to be healthy for my grandkids. My walking buds are all thin and younger which is good but I sometimes feel negative when I am with them. My weight has become a real self esteem issue for me. Thanks for giving me this forum to vent. Richie

    Congrats to all of you who have lost....
    Just read my picture.....cupcakes are the enemy.....well my birthday cake (enemy tooo) did me in.
    Therefore I did not lose any weight this week...I am exactly the same. Proof you can eat cake and not gain weight but you cant eat cake and lose weight. Looking for more success next week.
    Hope ya all have a great weekend.

    Happy Sunday everyone!! I got my workouts in yesterday and today. I planned on finishing painting this weekend but that hasn't happened.

    I started a new exercise program on Friday called Chalene Extreme. One of the DVD's has a kitchen/pantry makeover. There are some good ideas that I learned and wanted to share.

    One is to break down your food after you grocery shop. So, if you buy a bag a snacks, take the snack sized zipper baggies and put one portion in each. That makes it easier to keep the portions in line and prevent mindless eating from open bags.

    Another idea was to think of your fridge like the grocery stores think of their shelves. What is eye level and most appealing gets grabbed first. The suggestion was to wash your fruits and veggies as soon as you get home. Put them in bowls and put them on the shelf that is eye level. That way, it will be appealing and easy to grab when you are ready to snack.

    The third idea is something I've been working on for the past few months. That is switching out the foods you love for healthier versions. So instead of full fat dressings, try the spritz kind or another healthier version of what you already like. Same for butter and cereals.

    Anyway, thought I would share these.

    Hope everyone has had a great weekend so far/

    Hello all!!

    Spiralgirl..I really like the idea of portioning the snacks right away..I must admit that if I have the bag in front of me I will NOT stop at 1 serving...I had a bad Saturday and went over my calories by 300..ouch!! We had a family get together and my mother did me in by baking a chocolate cake...although I did only have a sliver and 1 small scoop of maple walnut ice cream..we then proceeded to go out on the town and I had 2 drinks..bacardi & diet coke...uuugghh...well, back on the wagon today...

    Have a good week!!

    Hi all,
    Spiralgirl....those are some great ideas.:wink: We need to empty our pantry with the bad foods and replace with healthy foods.
    Dr. Oz will be having a tv show in Sept. .....He will have some great ideas on becoming healthy. That is why most of us want to lose weight. To be healthy!!! Its my goal.
    Dont forget to watch Dance your *kitten* off this Monday. There are only a few left. Reuben looks great and I do like Pinky.
    Welcome Richie.....I dont work out of the house anymore and have to battle with the fridge everyday. We must follow spiralgirls suggestions and get those shelves filled with fruit and veggies.
    Moving on to a great week of weight loss.
    angl:bigsmile:
