I'm trying really hard to hold myself accountable. In New Orleans, we go from one food holiday to the next. So with the holidays ending, it’s now king cake season here in NOLA, and I've resisted two slices since yesterday. I gained through the holidays, so I’m not willing to keep that trend going for a sweet treat on my…

I'm still around! Life has been getting in the way of me posting lately, but I'm still logging and still not getting fat! YAY! I haven't lost - but have maintained through crazy, crazy busy times :) Glad to see you ladies still going strong!
-
Take em or leave em, but these are some of my ideas…hope others post as well, because I’m in definite need of some new ideas/motivation! Keep up your normal work out routine, plus, add these bonuses: Monday - 25 squats Tuesday - 25 push ups Wednesday - 25 crunches Thursday - 25 jumping jacks Friday - 25 lunges Saturday -…

185.1, down .2 from last week..lol. My crazy weekend splurges take the whole week to undo..dang it. When will I learn?!
-
I might go get my head examined today, because I have a mental problem with food and controlling what I put in my mouth. Until I can get an appointment, I'll drink plenty of water, try to hit Whole Foods or someplace where I can get a healthy lunch (since I did not pack anything today). I need to work on blocking out this…

I "lost" another .1 of a pound this week..lol 185.3. I think I'll actually shout with joy the day I see 184 on the scale. I swear it's been almost a month of creeping down this pound one tenth at a time. I'm not too upset though, as it's much much better than the alternative. If I could stop my little splurges on the…

I plan to get in a home work out (tae bo dvd) after I cook dinner tonight. My boyfriend has a show, but we've discussed it, I'm staying home and cooking/working out because I know I'd be tempted to drink and fall off the wagon if I were to go hang out in a bar. I'm loading up on water because I might weigh myself for the…
-
I haven't weighed myself since Friday, because this weekend was far from ideal, but everything is logged and I'm mentally prepared for cracking down on myself this week! Today, I'm pre-logging meals, trying to trink 12-13 cups of water, and going to the gym. I'll be so proud of myself if I can drop two pounds this week!!
-
Sorry, I'm weighing in late - 185.5 lbs. (+0.1 from last week). Pretty much holding steady, so I need to get my butt in gear and stop giving in to eating everything in sight anytime I have an event or outing. That said, tonight's a friend's birthday, so we'll see how I do!!
-
I'm definitely going to try!!
-
I think I'm going to have to hit the gym for the two pound loss, but I'm in. I've been holding steady, so I need to push myself. Today, I'll still work out at home, but my goal will be to get to the gym by this Saturday. Thanks for pushing us! :)

Sorry, I forget we have our own language in New Orleans! lol Lagniappe (lan-yap) means "a little something extra." It's used a lot by businesses that throw in something free for you. :)
-
The only commitment I can make today is to stick with my pre-logged meals. If I get in any activity that is not chores, it will just be lagniappe. Oh, one more commitment, if my boyfriend doesn't polish off the remaining cake and treats from the birthday and baby shower this weekend, I'm sending anything left to work with…

Congrats on hitting 50 lbs!! That is an amazing accomplishment! And good for you on getting out there and pushing yourself this morning..I'll think about that when I'm worn out and running through my list of excuses to not work out tonight! It's not always (or in my case, hardly ever) easy, but it must be done :)
-
As some of you may know, I crashed and burned this weekend. I at least stayed committed to logging all of it, so I can hopefully learn from my past behaviors. Next time I have a party/event, I think I'll drink a protein shake in the car on the way, because those make me so full I couldn't possibly think of eating...then I…

Despite veering off course last night (not as bad as I could have..), I'm down .7 lb from last Friday. 185.4 lbs. I'm not going to update my weight on here til the whole pound is gone and that will put me at -20 since April 15th! Woohoo! Slowly but surely moving in the right direction. Reggie, take it from a life-long…

Exercise is out of the question tonight. I’ll be on a tight schedule as soon as I get home because my boyfriend is playing a show at the Rivershack, which you may have seen on the show “Diners, Drive-ins and Dives”...so, my plan is to NOT eat a burger, roast beef po-boy, hot ham & cheese po-boy, cuban, ruben, fried…

We're still hanging in here, doing the best we can! I some how paked all of my snacks for the day and forgot something to eat for lunch, so I think I'll run out and get Wendy's chili, rather than anything from the hotel restaurant that's in our building (I could pay $15 for a portobella sandwich and just eat the shroom,…

I'm going to stick to my eating plan, drink tons of water and do tae bo as long as I can stand tonight. I've been doing squats, lunges and planks (2, 30 sec) for the last few days b/c we have jeans day this Friday at work, and I've avoided those for the last two years! I'm so happy that even with anniversary outings over…

We'll call mine holding steady - 186.0 last Friday, 185.9 this morning. Not too bad considering where I started the beginning of the week, thanks to daddy's birthday brunch (up 3lbs.). Now, if I can just not blow it this weekend, I'll hopefully be set up for a loss for next week!
-
Ultimately I want to start weight lifting. I'm still a bit intimidated by all the muscle heads in that part of the gym. Maybe as I lose more, I'll gain the confidence to just make myself at home with them. Or maybe I'll ask Santa for some weights! Speaking of Santa, I'm already starting to mentally prepare for the holiday…

Bump - sounds tasty!
-
I plan to stick to my pre-logged day, drink plenty of water and get in a little exercise after work. If nothing else, I'll go for an hour long walk. Also, I'm not going out tonight as I normally do on Thursdays, becasue with the week I've had at work, I know I'd be tempted to have a few drinks to blow off steam, and I'm…

Pound out 3 oz chicken breast until it's about 1/2 in thin. Sprink with salt & pepper, top with 4-6 basil leaves and 3 thin slices of tomato (add salt free seasoning/herbs on tomato, if you like). Drizzle with olive oil. Bake at 375 for 17-20 minutes. If you have room for the calories, top with fresh mozzerella before you…

Home made enchiladas - black bean, pablano pepper and turkey in a tomatillo sauce. MMM MMM!

Bump - thanks :)

I usually don't feel hungry in the morning, but I pre-log all my food for the day (to help me pack lunch/snacks for work) and make myself eat according to that plan. But today, I didn't eat breakfast until almost 11. So I would say yes, force yourself to eat. You definitely shouldn't skip eating the calories you need in a…

Yesterday was truly a manic Monday...my afternoon/evening went haywire and I didn't even get to the store until after 9 p.m. I picked up Chinese take-out for “dinner” (at 10 p.m. - terrible idea, but I was starving) and though I didn’t eat any fried stuff, the sodium must have killed me b/c I’m three pounds heavier this…
