Lildebbie: I hope all will be well soon with your husband and hopefully the doctor will have some answers for him today.

Good morning ladies. It's been a busy one already, I started this post a couple of hours ago! So I'd better make it quick. checking in for yesterday: calories: over by about 150- but good on carbs exercise: none water: bad proud: made some good food choices yesterday, and went SHOPPING for some healthy food challenge: I…

HeatherMN - I am definitely thinking about going to the doctor, I work out tomorrow morning and if my head is still bothering me after that I will make an appointment. It just seems like I couldn't have hit it that hard by just slipping and falling - but I guess I could have since I hit the step too.
-
OMG ... I just had the best lunch ... and I needed it too because I was feeling VERY sorry for myself. I went shopping and all I could see were all the foods I 'can't have' and feeling a bit whiney. There was a very thin eggplant lightly coated and fried, and rolled around ricotta and mozarella cheese. It was sooo yummy! I…

Hang in there everyone who is having a bad time! :flowerforyou: It's so hard to concentrate on being healthy when our lives seem to be spinning out of control, but you know things will get better! I didn't have a great food or exercise weekend. I did ok on Saturday, but was very hungry and didn't have much food in my…

Glad to see you Blue! I'm having a rough food day so far. I didn't eat enough yesterday, so was STARVING today after my morning workouts. I proceeded to eat way too many carbs and fats and not enough protein. oh well ... the day isn't over - I'll have to do better the rest of the day.
-
momma24: I have read some cautions about low carb/high protein diets being hard on people with kidney problems so you will probably want to ask your husband's doctor about any diet changes, although I don't think 40% carbs is really terribly low - more moderately low? That is what I think anyhow, I don't want to go too low…

mstahl: before I even saw your comment to me I was going to tell you to just keep checking in until you are ready. I think sometimes you just can't make your weight loss your top priority even though we all know how important it is ... there is so much more going on in our lives ... but you will be able to come back to it…

My hubby weighs less than me too by about 15 pounds, and is 8 inches taller! and isn't exactly skinny! I don't like it! Momma: I'm glad you are feeling better. I was just wondering how Blue is doing too, I haven't seen her for awhile.

Thanks RedneckWmn for your encouragement! A lot of my nutrition class is based around the Schwarzbein Principle. It's an interesting website. http://www.schwarzbeinprinciple.com/pgs/home.html

Glad to hear your mom is doing better, and that you've had a good week!

checking in for yesterday: calories: OVER ... but I'm back on track today exercise: an hour of step water: not so good proud: hmmm ... that at least I didn't buy chips, but I did indulge in other old habits that aren't good for me :angry: I bet my nutritionist would say that my little slip in the afternoon of having the…
-
AAAAAAARGH! :mad: :angry: :explode: Well I didn't have chips ... but I indulged in cheese and peanuts while I was cooking ... an old bad habit that I hadn't done in 5 weeks since I started my nutrition class. And then after dinner I had 3 dove chocolates from my daughter's stash! I'm so dissappointed in myself, and I feel…

Congrats Momma! and congrats to your daughter! Mine is a year away from graduating but we are starting to talk about colleges - I'm NOT READY! My nutrition class is all about keeping your blood sugar levels steady throughout the day. They suggest 3 meals and 2-3 snacks a day, with the carbs not exceeding 32 grams at meals…
-
You hit the nail on the head Momma24 - eating 'real food' is exactly what my nutrition class is all about, and how we have become a much 'fatter' society since we started eating low-fat, trans-fat and high-fructose corn syrup foods. I am eating butter and whole milk now on this 'diet', and heavy cream on my blueberries for…

checking in for yesterday: calories: over by about 275 :grumble: ... I struggle when I have no exercise cals to use exercise: just a very short walk - it was a planned 'no-exercise' day water: ok but not great - probably around 80oz proud: I was hungry and having some cravings, so I could have done worse My nutrition class…

Heather - I agree with tsout - do whatever is going to motivate you most. If going to your naked weight now is the most motivating. ... GO FOR IT! :drinker: positively_me and ladeb: here is that oatmeal ball recipe - I just didn't want to repeat it if no one was interested, but I'm happy to hear that you are! I had 2 of…

checking in for yesterday: calories: good exercise: good water: not so good proud: we had a big Valentine's meal with my brother and his wife, and we ate really late so I was starving ... but I still made pretty good choices. I had a glass of champagne but that is ok, and I had more potato than I should have - but again -…
-
Did you stay within your nutritional goals? yes Did I reach yesterday's personal goal? yes What did I do yesterday that I am proud of? managed to eat fairly well for Valentine's dinner What would I have done differently? stuck with 1/3rd potato instead of finishing my son's leftover one too What is today's personal goals?…

I used to love to run ... but I need to lose more weight to be able to do it comfortably. Every time I've tried running in the last few years I end up with knee pain. Maybe by this summer I will be able to run again, if so I may ask you for an updated list of your events and see if I can join you! I think it's really great…
-
good luck on your interview tstout! I had a little bag of valentine's candy on my chair when I came in ... they aren't calling to me yet - but I should probably get ird of them before they do. At least it wasn't a giant Hershey Kiss like lilspy got! :laugh: checking in for the weekend: calories: I think I did ok ... but I…

awestfall: I hope you feel better! I completely understand what you are saying about men being babies when they are sick, my husband immediately goes to bed until he is well ... while I always 'tough it out' - because women HAVE to! Take care of yourself as much as you can! I had a bad calorie day ... I've got to get back…

Girls - I am SO happy this morning to see another good weightloss .... I think this is the most success I have ever had with having consistent losses! All week I was up a little bit so I was worried I was going to have a plateue this week but the scale was good to me this morning! I dragged myself to the YMCA last night…

Lildeb: There is nothing wrong with feeling grateful that you still have a job, at the same time that you feel bad for other people who were laid off. I was a manager for awhile and had to go through a few rounds of layoffs (I think 4). It was really horrible for everyone. A couple of the times I had to pick who should be…
-
Momma - share all you want about your frustrations, we all have different day to day challenges that can interfere with our weightloss, and we all need to vent about it from time to time. You are dealing with something most of us haven't had to experience, and we are here to support you as much as we can! Have you looked…

Momma is enjoying the CA weather, but I'm in MN grumbling about how sick I am of negative temps and dirty snow banks! Glad to see you here Mstahl!
