Haha ... I won't get on the scale in the morning if I have had even *ONE* swallow of water ... so right as I get out of bed I chug down some! I really wanted to step on the dang thing this morning though!! Oh well ... I can do this, I CAN do this...:grumble: :huh: :tongue: About Monday I am going to have to earn a scale…

Yep ... I'm either going to have the Whiskey River chicken wrap ... without ranch dressing, tortilla strips, steak fries (!!:noway: !!), cheddar cheese, and add romaine lettuce, tomato, and steamed veggies for 627 calories ... OR a cobb salad that I pretty much completely uncobb :laugh: with no olives, bread, parmesan…

One of our cats gets colds every so often. The other one never does! She is pitiful for a few days, she sneezes, and her eyes run, but then she's okay in a week or less. I don't think there is really much you can do for them other than what you are doing! :cry:

We're going to Red Robin tonight to celebrate a friend's birthday, so I thought I'd take a look at their website to see if there was anything on the menu that would fit with my food plan for the day. Well ... all I can say is WOW! Not only can you find out pretty comprehensive nutrition information on their entire menu,…

I usually weigh just once a day, every morning at the same time. I might skip it if I've had a really bad or high sodium day (if I just don't want to see it) because I know that's not real weight . Having it just be part of my morning routine keeps me from getting nervous about weigh-ins. In the past when I've only weighed…

:laugh: :laugh: :laugh: At the doctor's office, I've been known to not only take my shoes and any extra garments off, but also my earrings, glasses ... :noway: :laugh: Have a great day, Black Team!! :heart: Tresa

Hey Black Team ... I've been out of commission since Friday with some kind of funky ickiness but I'm a bit better today. Food has been getting better after a disastrous several days, but exercise has been nonexistent since Friday! :sad: :sad: :sad: Soooo ... no telling what the weigh-in tomorrow morning is going to do to…

We should keep bumping this until Songbyrdsweet notices it. I have the same issues because of a high resting heart rate ... I think I might be getting too high readings on calories with my HRM.

Ugh ... I feel your pain, Sara! I'm so sorry!!! :cry: My older daughter fell twice within a week when she was about 5 and busted her face open both times ... once on the chin and once right beside her eye. Be glad he's a boy ... we couldn't get any regular doctor to do the stitches beside her eye ... they made us go to a…

G'day Black Team... Wow Spyguy ... what great words!! Thank you for putting so eloquently what I was just thinking about this morning after having a day yesterday where I completely acted like I was not on any kind of plan at all! I overate (a lot!) and didn't exercise (we didn't go dancing ... sat on the couch and watched…

Well, I'm only mostly dead.... Actually, I feel fine ... sore & tired but good otherwise. And now I'm going to bed because we're going to spend the day with my daughter and son-in-law tomorrow, then dance lessons tomorrow night taught by some other teachers since the kids are going out of town for the weekend. G'night,…

Ok ... me right after Zumba: Me now ... I am going to go get in the shower and see if I can recover! It definitely kicked my tushie tonight! Burned 587 calories though ... Later ... if I'm still alive. :laugh:

You look amazing!!! Thank you for sharing your story & encouraging us all ... you really give a lot of us hope that we can do it too!

Hey team ... Just popping in to say hello! I have to go eat something right now so I don't end up puking it up at Zumba tonight ... somehow I haven't eaten lunch yet! Of course, I had a pretty big breakfast ... at 11:00! I have my days & nights mixed up still.... Have fun, y'all ... :heart: Tresa

:laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: Nah, I thought we all had enough to do with crunching our bellies! Nicky must have a spy!! .... Spyguy did you tell her? :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: Ok, I'm off to the elliptical and some ab work & push-ups. I hope it doesn't keep me awake tonight ... just got back from church…

:laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh:

I don't have a food scale either, Anna ... measuring is fine! I bought a cheapo food scale at WalMart and ended up pitching it in the trash because it wouldn't weigh anything the same twice. :grumble: As long as I'm having success with my measuring cups & spoons, I'm not going to sweat getting a food scale.

What I do is bulk up my meals with lots of veggies ... like say I'm eating a lean cuisine for dinner. It's pretty skimpy by itself, but with a large bowl of broccoli and maybe even a salad, it's super filling. Plus, I am getting a lot more nutrition with my meal, so my body feels like it's been fed. Hope that helps!

I don't think I got to participate in the last Fitness Chick Day ... so I definitely intend to celebrate YOU today! You constantly amaze me, my dear, with your sweet, caring heart and loving spirit, with your determination and persistence in the face of odds that would make most people give up ... and your willingness to…

Well ... turns out there is no need to stop eating pistachios, either! :happy: The more I look into it, the more I find that just about all nuts have health benefits ... we have to eat them in moderation, and it's probably a good idea to mix them up from day to day! ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ A healthy diet low in fat can include…

GO AMANDA!!! Way to get functional fitness going! Hey ... just posted the challenge for this week ... and would love to catch up with everybody but I have to run out to another rehearsal tonight ... maybe more later!! GO BLACK TEAM!!! :heart: :glasses: :heart:

Hey everybody ... as requested, here is the Black Team challenge to start tomorrow! :happy: Most of us have been on this weight loss journey for quite a while now, and over time it is all too easy to be a little bit lax about our food intake ... we stop measuring everything and/or logging every bite because we feel…

I think my arms would be shaking too much for me to be able to focus on the words! That's hard enough these days anyway... But I might try it anyway ... not that I'm able to be there long enough to get bored yet! :laugh:

HOLY COW woman! That's a lotta exercise! Cool beans! :laugh: :laugh: :laugh:

Yeah, I've fallen down on the ab stuff too ... although I did some research and a lot of what I found said to treat the abdominal muscles just like any other muscles you work with resistance training ... give them at least a day off to heal & recover between workouts. My plan is to get on the elliptical for 20 or 30…

Hee hee ... that's what EVERYBODY keeps asking!

Oh ... I didn't know anybody else had ever experienced that ... especially with eye pain .... I can hear it! And it does sound like a light saber ... or something on Doctor Who ... !!!

YIKES! How can you even be smiling in that one? I would have to be put into a coma to deal with that ... cannot STAND itching! Eeewwwww........

MWAHAHAHA ... I just did the same thing! :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: Glad you decided to stay with us Sam! :heart:
