Candy for Christmas
My grandma always gets me and my cousins candy for Christmas. I always tell her not to and they're still ALWAYS under the tree when the family gathers at my grandparents house. :ohwell: This year, however, she did something awesome! My other (skinny) cousins got some kind of high-calorie chocolate stuff. I, on the other…

To eat or not to eat...
I have a question. :flowerforyou: The past few days I know I've went over my calories. Not by a lot, but by enough to make me feel bad about it. I also did not exercise as I'd planned over the weekend, so I'm feeling kinda down today. I just did half an hour on the treadmill and burned around 180 calories. I'm planning on…

It's not much, but . . .
I've only lost around 8 pounds (I'm hoping I've lost 2 more over this past week, but I don't weigh till Monday), but I put on an Alumni shirt today I bought two or three years ago at college and, for the first time, it wasn't tight! :smile:

Workin' off the turkey! and gravy and pumpkin pie and mac n
:flowerforyou: Question. On Thanksgiving and the day after, I ate WAY over what I was planning! Yesterday I planned on only having some turkey out of our leftovers. But, we ended up going to my grandparents house - AGAIN - and, of course, they had ALL the leftovers out on the table and it was like Thanksgiving Day again!…

Carrots
So, I bought some baby carrots a while ago and the bag has just been sitting in my fridge. I'm not a huge carrot fan, but I figured it would give me something to munch on while I'm at work. I grabbed them out of the fridge right before I ran out the door this morning and I have some of them sitting on my desk in a cup.…

Shredding
I just started Jillian's 30-Day Shred last night. I had convinced myself I was going to do it again this morning when I woke up, but . . . . I was too darn sore!! :angry: :laugh: She kicked my butt. :laugh: But, I loved it!! LOL, my boyfriend loved it even more, I think. He's a lifter . . . 6 days a week, he's pushin'…

Gym Bag :)
So . . . what's in your gym bag? :smile: I've been working out in our company's fitness room for the past 4 or 5 weeks and it's kinda interesting to see what people bring! I have locker with clothes in it, but some people will bring a jumbo beach bag full of who-knows-what! Others bring coolers. One brings a Victoria's…

Hola!
I have a question. :smile: For the past few days, I have just been hungry. My tummy would growl between meals and snacks . . . I usually eat around 6 times a day. But, it just didn't seem to solve the hunger problem. I've been eating several different meals throughout the week, but haven't been switching it up as much as I…

Chicken
Yesterday I bought two packages of boneless, skinless chicken breasts. I painted them with some olive oil, put some pepper and oregano on them and baked them in aluminum foil for about 40 minutes. Although I think they're alright . . . they didn't come out as tasty as I thought they would. :grumble: They're a little bland.…

Fitness Videos
Can anybody recommend a good fitness video for a beginner? :smile: I've never been much on videos, because I get bored, but since I've started a new job, I think my exercise time would be best used in the mornin' before work with an exercise video. I was actually looking at Shred with Jillian Michael's earlier . . . is it…

I'm full of questions
:blushing: I've been asking bunches lately! I was just wondering . . . when I add exercises on here, it subtracts the calories burned from my calories I need to eat for the day and I'm left with extra calories I need to eat. If I burned them . . . why do I need to eat them?? :huh:

Sugar Consumption
I'm having trouble staying within my sugar consumption guidelines on here. This morning, I had a bowl of Kelloggs Special K Chocolatey Delight and a cup of Sugar Free Chocolate & Vanilla Swirl Pudding (it's a Monday . . . gotta have some chocolate :wink: ). In a little bit, for a snack, I'm having an apple. But, I've…

Starting Over
Hello All :heart: :flowerforyou: I joined this site over a month ago with a plan and determination. But, something happened and all of my motivation fell by the wayside. I've done that before . . . too many times. It's gotten to the point where one week I'll be completely disgusted by fast food and bad-for-me food and I'll…
