  • I'm a sucker for Taco Bell as well, but it's definitely not as nice as a sit down dinner with the BF. Ultimately, I was just content to be able to eat Taco Bell without blowing out my calorie goal! Sorry about your evening plans getting rearranged. Darn guys :grumble: How was your weekend? We managed to get most of the…
  • Well, I can possibly make you feel a little better about dinner last night... It was supposed to be date night at PF Chang's. Instead we got there and there was a 45-60 minute wait. I have a hard time waiting over 5 minutes for the privilege to pay for food when I know there are other places I can go. So, we waited about…
  • Well... one of my dining out nights is going to be tonight... I have already downloaded nutritional information and input a guesstimate of what I'll be eating- now the hard part will be sticking with it! But, the positive part is that I went down to the work gym to do 2 15 minutes walks today (one in the morning and one…
  • Oh yeah, and staying away from Mountain Dew Throwback- or any other sodas! I gave up sodas for Lent, so I didn't have too many issues until Sunday. Sweet and sugary is my weakness!!!
  • Good for you on eating right through the weekend! And, no worries about the weight, it WILL get to where you want- especially if you stick with the healthy eating and running! I can truly understand your desire to cut back on the restaurants- especially if you're buying groceries in addition to that. I ended up combining…
  • Whew, I went NUTS with my eating this weekend! Good thing today is a new day! How was your Easter? Any new goals for this week? I think I'm going to adopt a modified version of your eating out goal- I'm going to limit to 2 meals out from now until Sunday evening. Hopefully this will force me to eat a little healthier…
  • Congrats on the great workout! I've been pretty slack on any intense workouts the past few days (did various yard chores yesterday, but nothing with any intensity), and have eaten out several times... Still feel like I'm sticking within my goal range right now so, for now, I'll just be happy! Weekend plans have basically…
  • Oh, I TOTALLY "get" bailing on workouts. I normally try to exercise before work for just that reason! If I plan for afternoon, there's a 80% chance I won't make it (or won't do it at the intensity that I should). I bailed yesterday morning after the 1 lb (had the "why am I even trying moments?"). Granted, the fact that it…
  • GOOD FOR YOU on you the exercise and weight loss!!! Sounds like you'll be in the next bracket VERY soon- always very exciting!! Thankfully the bf and I don't eat out too often, but we usually hit a place at least once a week (which I don't consider too bad). We, however, do tend to do a little drinking :drinker: The good…
  • Look at you- I was going to send you a message today to check in but you beat me to it! Good job on the gym and calorie targets! Any restaurants so far? (as I eat the food I just bought at a push cart...) :blushing: I skipped Monday, but got some light workouts in yesterday and today (tweaked my back with yard work on…
  • After I typed the comment about not eating while running, I realized I don't necessarily follow that rule, but that was when I was training for a marathon- after awhile you have to eat something! Sounds like TMMO is similar to FPU. Perhaps the difference is that FPU had classes to attend? Is TMMO a group-based program or…
  • First month? Oh my! It's definitely a tough road, and as the FPU instructor said (A LOT), you have to learn to forgive yourself. Most normal people struggle the first few months (it's been about 8 months since I started and I feel like I JUST got the hang of it) so the best thing is to accept that things may not go to plan…
  • LOVE this site! I've actually shown it to my boyfriend enough (and tried enough recipes), that even he has caught on! He's making dinner tonight with several of her recipes- YUMMY!!!
  • Well, if you're anything like me, prior to DR's program, you didn't have ANY date in mind! I always thought I had a handle on things (with my own delusional thought process), but I'd pay off some credit and put it right back on. I was on the sinking side of treading water!!! As I mentioned, my bf did the program 3 years…
  • Thanks for setting up the group! BS2 here as well, but I have a date for when it should be done (April 2013) so I'm thrilled!! I don't set monthly TMMO goals, b/c I've found that I'm kinda on auto-pilot right now. Just a little budget tweaking each month, but otherwise, cruising (which is the peace of mind I was looking…
