@shirayne I think potatoes count as a white... I'd count it!

Mango/orangey-yellow DONE! Bicep culrs done with a 32oz bottle of water... umm yeah... had to do 30 reps on each set to feel them, so I am kinda hesitant to claim them as they were wayyy too easy! lol I'm gonna it the gym in the morning when I get off work (yea, I go into work at 1am tonight.. bleh!). I'll get two kinds of…

I've used an personal trainer before, and that cute little guy nearly worked me to death! LOL It was good though. He was sweet and personable on the outside, and evil like Jillian Michaels on the inside! But we got CRAZY good results, and I was soooooo proud when I was able to do what he demanded because I didn't believe I…

With grace... that how I need to approach this because right now my gracefulness looks like a turtle stampeding thru molasses! LOL I'm not beating myself up, though I did look myself in the mirror and say, "See, that's what the I'll-do-it-tomorrow mentality gets you! Now suck it up and prepare to sweat like a recovering…

got the biceps done at work lifting a 3-ring binder full of paper (YIKES!)... it was interesting maneuvering that thing, but it worked! My arms are TIRED! forgot my mango at home, though :::pout::: I'll get that one in tomorrow. Had cauliflower with dinner, so another color down (that's 4! YAY!!)
-
well it's going to be an early night for me. I didn't get half as much sleep as I needed last night, and I've been battling that "dozing off" feeling all day. I'm making up for it tonight! See you all tomorrow!!
-
Alrighty, I think I'm not enjoying the gym the way I use to because it is such a testament to how freakin OUT OF SHAPE I am! LOL Started on the elliptical and after about 5 minutes I said screw it and headed for the stationary bike! Got in 15 min on the treadmill too, but man, I REALLY have to start upping the exercise if…
-
Oh, oh! I'm in!!! Ate a roma tomato with breakfast, a pear (the tan kind) at lunch, and half an avocado at dinner! YES! 3 down! Have mango and cottage cheese on the menu for tomorrow!... and my biceps need all the help they can GET!
-
Evening everyone. Well had a less than stellar weekend, but I'm okay with it. Got right back on the path today and am headed to the gym! I have had the membership but always "lazy" my way out of going, but I set a goal to go at least 3 times this week, and I have to be at work at 1:00am Thursday and Friday, so if I don't…
-
Ugh.. wall sits were a no go today, but I did get some warm peaches over ice cream... yeah, bad eating day :::sigh:::
-
Woop woop!! New hair is always a refreshing feeling. I had a REALLY bad decision day, and feel so full that throwing up sounds like relief, but never could stand the idea of doing that voluntarily... ick! Oh well, live and learn. Back on track effective immediately. Other than that, I've had a really good weekend. Relaxed…
-
Nice plan! I'm going to have to do that. Congrats, glad you enjoyed yourself!
-
OMG, this was amazing, inspiring, and... just perfect. Thank you SO much trailgirl!
-
Mmm banana strawberry smoothie. That does it, I'm making one today! Wall sits done yesterday in the garage and today against the wall at work while I was waiting on someone. One of the guys at work caught me and said, "Hey, are you ok?" I just laughed and told him I was stretching tired muscles...LOL
-
Congrats to @Hippychick5983 on 50 days of logging in, to @melkithall on 20 pounds gone, and to @want2behappy31 on the fitbit success! You ladies are ROCKIN it!!
-
Congrats on the return to the gym. It really can be inspiring when you find yourself around all that cool equipment. And I agree. It does feel like we need a team name. Like we were all meant to find each other in this time and place to be successful together! We may have started something here! LOL
-
That's a HUGE victory! I'd take that. I'm lucky enough I haven't had a really bad day yet, but I'm praying when I do I have that strength! Awesome want2behappy31!

I'm not normally a recipe poster, but this just sounded perfect for our challenge... Warm chicken salad and fruit Ingredients 2 tablespoons olive or vegetable oil 3/4 lb. chicken breast strips for stir-frying 1/3 cup rice vinegar 1 tablespoon chopped fresh thyme 2 tablespoons honey 1/4 teaspoon salt 4 cups torn mixed salad…
-
blueberry sauce and brie... I'm coming to your house for dinner! I'm saving my wall sits for tomorrow because my quads hate me right now! LOL I didn't manage any warm fruit today, but I'm on the hunt. Google, here I come!!!
-
@bcedl1982 I thought so too! And the more of these type goals I think of the more others come to me. Today I saw this girl wearing the cutest off the shoulder shirt and thought, "I'd love to be able to wear that!" so into the journal it went! Same thing when one of my friends not only walked up the stairs at work, but when…
-
Hmmm... didn't think about keeping new recipes in my journal. That's a GREAT idea! Thanks!
-
I put a picture of the bead jars under my profile along with the quotes I am printing in color this week and sticking on my motivational wall... some of them just really tickled me so I thought I'd share :smiley:
-
Oh, and wall sits day one was a painful and embarrassing success... embarrassing because my big butt slid all the way down the wall the first time :::sigh:::
-
I GOT it!! Warmed up some mango pieces in a saucepan today, with about a tsp of olive oil and then mashed them up a little and put them on my sweet potato... ummm YUMMM!!!!
-
This is a little off-topic, but is anyone scrapbooking or journaling their weigh loss journey? I just found some really great ideas for this and so I started a journal (the paper kind). One of the things that surprised me was how quickly I found not only goals and rewards for pounds loss, but goals I want to meet that…
-
I don't know if it will work for you the way it did for me, but lemon in my water REALLY seemed to help ease some of the withdrawals from my SERIOUS coke addiction. And here's the great thing, I just gave it up like 3 weeks ago, gave myself the gift of a 10oz. coke this weekend and got THE WORST stomach ache from it. Now I…
-
Welcome everyone! Wow, lots of new folks to make the cheering louder! :smiley: @uttercup doughnuts can be incredibly pushy, kick that thing into the trash where it can't leap out at you, girl!! Seriously though, the advice to make small changes is the best in the world. Make a small promise to yourself, and when you…
-
Thanks! I'm sure I won't always be the beaming ray of sunshine, but I am just riding on a cloud of "you go, girl!" ever since I decided to take this journey. I just feel really good about my decision, really positive.
-
Welcome bcedI1982! None of us can do this alone, so hop aboard!

@marsha6570 My hats off to you for having already done so much. I won't be whining about having to lose 100 lbs. Girl, you've done twice what I am trying to do and you're dedicated to do it again!! You ROCK!
