Tess | Monday, November 26, 2001 - 11:48 pm     Max-I take my vitamins at the same time everyday right along with all the other meds I take so I never forget them.

Snack: slim fast shake Dinner: salad with chicken, lettuce, tomatoes, shredded cheddar cheese and honey mustard dressing 2 Christmas cookies. Drinks: 2 cups of decaf French Vanilla Cafe, 35 oz water, 8 oz OJ exercise: walked 1/2 mile |

Juju2bigdog | Tuesday, November 27, 2001 - 11:51 am     Uhhhhhhh, I just had an idea. If any of y'all in here have any old cans of cocktail weinies you want to get rid of, I could dispose of them for y'all...

Schoolmarm | Tuesday, November 27, 2001 - 04:34 pm     WHOOHOO!!! I'm BAAAACK!!! And have lost 2 pounds since we began despite being at a conference for 6 days, flying to the folks (and back) for Thanksgiving...AND a 2-year old's birthday party, a 4-year old in the Little Miss Christmas pagent (ACK!!!) and my parents 42nd wedding anniversary celebration. My schedule has diet failure written all over it, but I did ok. No deserts except for two forkfuls of birthday cake and a couple of finger swipes of icing while making the cake. I just ate sensibly and didn't snack much. However, I DID pop a bowl of popcorn tonight, since I had to skip lunch and my chicken isn't out of the oven yet. Got lots of exercise chasing my nieces and nephews around at Thanksgiving. We took the 4 year old and two 2 year olds to the St. Louis zoo in a moment of insanity, but it was lot's of fun. Thanksgiving hint: When making the turkey NEVER close the oven with the latch on top (self-cleaning oven latch)!!! Mom and I were rolling on the floor in laughter after I had locked the turkey in the oven! It only took 45 minutes for the oven to cool down so we could get it out. BUT it was one of the best turkey's we've had! Food today: 8 chicken wing "drummettes", 2 Hershey's kisses, a handful of honey roasted peanuts, lots of water, 4 cups of popcorn, and a boneless, skinless chicken breast if it ever comes out of the oven! Also many painkillers for my migrane=type headache that I refuse to call a migrane! Come on everyone, you can do it! |
Twiggyish | Tuesday, November 27, 2001 - 06:52 pm     I am starting to lose again..so that is good! Breakfast: Wheat Bran Cereal with artificial sweetner Lunch: Two eggs and one piece toast (I love eggs anytime) Supper: I started it off with a small salad, followed it by two small hamburger meat patties with no bread/buns and a side of broccoli. Desert: 1 scoop sugar-free, low-fat ice-cream. Keep up the good work everyone! |
Max | Tuesday, November 27, 2001 - 09:12 pm     Today's tote: Breakfast: 'sausage' muffin, coffee Lunch: Lean Cuisine Sweet & Sour Chicken Dinner: Quiznos Honey Bourbon Chicken sandwich (small on whole wheat - 329 calories, 6 grams fat) Snacks: low-fat granola bar, peaches Exercise: bowling league |
Spygirl | Wednesday, November 28, 2001 - 05:08 am     Okay -- we're scratching yesterday from the calendar. It didn't exist. Starting over today!!!! Have a good one everyone. Great to see such motivated people!! |
Twiggyish | Wednesday, November 28, 2001 - 06:37 am     Spy, I was guilty of a day like that myself. Just keep going and don't worry about it! Marm, I had a migraine the other day, too. I had consumed two things which triggered it. A good lesson to me about sticking with the diet and keeping a close eye on what I eat. |
Jewels | Wednesday, November 28, 2001 - 08:27 am     Marm, great job while on vacation, that is always the toughest time! Twiggy, glad to hear you are still losing! Spy, we all need a day like that everyonce in a while...just jump back in! Max, I looked for the Morningstar "sausage" patties at Fred Meyer yesterday and didn't see them...I saw lots of other types of patties though, are yours actually called breakfast patties? I feel really good today, so glad to be back on track. Yesterday: Breakfast: Caramel Latte, Oatmeal Lunch: Tuna (w/1 tsp. mayo) and lettuce mix on pita bread Snack: Orange Dinner: Weight Watchers Lasagna Bolognese with one slice of homemade bread (no butter) Snack: Banana and 5 Ritz crackers (I was hungry after exercising) Exercise: Ran/Walked 2.5 miles on treadmill and did various exercises after. Hope everyone has a great day!! |
Wargod | Wednesday, November 28, 2001 - 04:18 pm     GREAT JOB TO ALL OF YOU!!!!!! Keep up the great job, you are all doing so well. |
Spygirl | Wednesday, November 28, 2001 - 04:47 pm     Whew! MUCH better day today! Thanks for the encouraging words, Jewels and Twiggy! Today's Menu: breakfast: Chocolate protein shake mixed with cottage cheese, ice, water, and equal; 1 slice of toast with fat free margarine lunch: Grilled chicken ceasar salad with a SMALL (grin) side of pasta salad dinner: Chicken wrap = chicken, lettuce, brocolli, grated cheese, with ranch dressing, wrapped a tortilla. YUM YUM (although I'm out of fresh mushrooms <pout>) Have a great day everyone! |
Jewels | Wednesday, November 28, 2001 - 05:38 pm     Ohh Spy! Your dinner sounds really good! I may have to try that! (Minus the mushrooms for me though!) Where's Tess? |
Tess | Wednesday, November 28, 2001 - 05:55 pm     I'm right here and very frustrated, Jewels. I haven't been well so my dear hubby <very forced smile> and daughter have been doing the grocery shopping for the most part. I have a grocery list going but by now I know what is likely to come home from the store. Last night I told that same dear hubby to NOT do the grocery shopping this week PLEASE and I would go today. He went anyway and not only kept our little daughter out over an hour past her bed time BUT came home with 5 (yes I said FIVE) bags of donuts and cookies, and candy, and hostess desserts, and full-fat crackers, etc (you get the point, right??) and 6 apples and 3 bananas. I almost cried. Today I went and bought food I can eat to keep to my diet so I don't waste all the effort I've been putting forth these past few weeks. Today's menu so far: Breakfast: NOTHING (see above) Lunch: deli sliced ham and tomato sandwich in pita pocket (no mayo), peaches Dinner: 1/2 meatloaf sandwich with lettuce and sun-dried tomato ketchup on thin french roll, iced vanilla latte Later on when I get hungry I'll have a piece of fruit and some OJ. In the meantime I'm drinking water, water and more water. exercise: walk 1.5 miles |
Schoolmarm | Wednesday, November 28, 2001 - 06:06 pm     Here's a couple of hints for those of you who have to pack a lunch for work.... Those pop-top cans of tuna and chicken are only 3 oz...a perfect diet serving. Light yogurt...only 100 calories and 16 grams of carbs. Bumblebee has little packages of chicken or tuna salad in a little poptop can (3 oz) with 5 crackers. Perfect for when you don't have a fridge! Food today: Rest of the popcorn (about 6 cups) chicken salad with 6 crackers (see above) handful of honey roasted peanuts, BBQ chicken breast, two green onions, sugar free jello and a big glass of skim milk. Lots of water....no painkillers NO headache today!! Went to the grocery store and stocked up on veggies and bag o' salad! Keep up the good work, everyone! |
Twiggyish | Wednesday, November 28, 2001 - 06:25 pm     Marm, I love those small cans of tuna. I buy them, too. Tess, my husband does the same thing! His idea of groceries is far different from mine. He and child come home with cookies, cakes, ice-cream, etc.. They do remember their lunch items, though..LOL Hubby is now on the same (ahem) diet and he is now watching the sweets a bit better. |
Jewels | Wednesday, November 28, 2001 - 08:13 pm     Glad to hear from you Tess, I was worried! I'm sorry you had a rough day...that is how I felt when my husband made cookies a couple weeks ago...(see why below...) The way my husband eats is far different from my idea also, he would eat pepporoni pizza every night if I let him! He doesn't like cooked vegetables or pasta and is extremely picky on what he will eat. He is skninny as a rail and can eat anything he wants and not gain weight. My main problem is him and sweets, he doesn't like them much so it takes him forever to eat whatever he does buy. It will take him a week to eat a small bag of M-n-M's! I plow through one in 3 mintues! So whenever we have cookies or candy in the house I end up eating it all. I have mainly solved my problem by making him take everything to work with him. If he makes cookies or, for example, the leftover halloween candy, I make him take it all to work to share with co-workers, or hord as he wishes. Then I don't have to have it in the house. My son is only 19 months old, so I don't have to worry about depriving him of the goodies because I don't let him have them anyway! It has worked out pretty good for the most part, but I still end up eating some before he takes it of course!! Today: Breakfast: Caramel Latte, High fiber ceral (tried a new kind today...yuck, but I choked down a little anyway), apple slices Lunch: Tuna w/1 tsp. mayo, lettuce mix on pita bread Snack: Orange, caramel latte Dinner: Weight Watchers Pepperoni Pizza (I added a little extra cheese) I am just getting ready to exercise and will probably have some sort of snack afterwards. I hope you all have a good night, I will check back later or in the morning. |
Max | Thursday, November 29, 2001 - 08:57 am     Jewels, yes the Morningstar 'sausage' patties are really called Breakfast Patties. You were right on target. Yesterday was a....well, different day for me. I had a craving all day for cookies and just couldn't shake it. The good news is that the scale didn't go up as a result! Breakfast: 'sausage' muffin, coffee, granola bar Lunch: Lean Cuisine Santa Fe Rice & Beans, granola bar Dinner: Lean Cuisine Garlic Chicken Snacks: (here goes!) 1 Grandma's Oatmeal/Raisin cookie (2 in a package = 2 servings I hate when they do that, but I managed to eat just one), far too many spritz cookies from the batch I made on the weekend and put in the freezer . Finally, went out with friends after band practice at church and had an Irish Coffee and a plate of fresh mozzarella and sliced tomatoes drizzled with olive oil and fresh basil (YUM!) topped by two pieces of bread with olive oil dip, of course! Exercise: After all that, I HAD to do something! 30 minutes on the bike for 6.1 miles. Back on plan today!!!! |
Tess | Thursday, November 29, 2001 - 10:25 pm     Okay--good news first!! I lost another 2 pounds which puts my total so far at 4 pounds lost since Spy started this thread. Bad news is I need to get back to the store as we're out of acceptable foods here already. Slept through breakfast lunch: slimfast shake dinner: deli thin sliced ham in pita bread--no mayo snack: banana, mini fat-free pretzels, OJ Still thinking on another late night snack here. Probably another ham sandwich since I slept through breakfast. Excercise today was Bell Choir rehearsal so only my arms got exercise today. |
Jewels | Thursday, November 29, 2001 - 10:40 pm     Wooo Hooo Tess!!! That is awesome!! Max, thanks, I will have to look again now that I know exactly what I am looking for! Today: Breakfast: Caramel Latte, Fiber cereal (blech!) Lunch: 2 morningstar veggie dogs, buns and small amount of pepperjack cheese Snack: Caramel Latte Dinner: Weight Watchers Mac & Cheese, brocolli Snack: Apple, small spoon of peanut butter with a few mini choc chips, it was a weak moment... I walked 2.5 miles at the mall this morning, but forgot they are now opening early for Christmas, so I also did a lot of dodging of old people!! My theory: we have to indulge ourselves everyonce in a while so we don't go overboard some other time. That is what I am going to bed telling myself atleast! |
Max | Friday, November 30, 2001 - 08:36 am     Congrats Tess!! Yesterday's tote: Breakfast: 'sausage' muffin, coffee Lunch: Lean Cuisine Cheese Canelloni, banana, granola bar Dinner: Homemade veggie bean soup, small amount of cheese, 2 pieces of toast, 1 tblsp. margarine Snack: 2 granola bars Exercise: bowling league |
Schoolmarm | Friday, November 30, 2001 - 12:49 pm     WhooHooo....we're a'losing! congrats to everyone who has dropped some poundage/or shaped up with healthy eating. I've lost another 2 (or 3...but I think the scale this morning was a fluke!) Giving me a total of 4 pounds lost (maybe five...we'll see). Yesterday's food: Breakfast: Lite yogurt Lunch: BBQ chicken breast, Sugar Free jello, caffiene-free diet Pepsi Dinner: 8 oz. Steak on the Grill, 1/2 a tomatoe NO SNACKS!! (YEAH!) Today: No breakfast Lunch: Packaged chicken salad and crackers (230 calories/25 grams carbs) and Lite peach yogurt (100 calories/15 grams carbs) Supper: Will be salad with a little dressing, 8 oz steak leftover from the grill, glass of skim milk Snack: A handful of honey roasted nuts (maybe some popcorn later on...I need to see how I feel...I'm kinda low blood sugar today and may need more snacks...might devil some eggs) Keep up the good work, everyone! |
Twiggyish | Friday, November 30, 2001 - 07:29 pm     I spend more money at the grocery for diet foods. The sugar-free items are more costly, which I think is funny since it is missing sugar. Anyway,I have lost one more pound and it was a hard earned one! |
Jewels | Saturday, December 01, 2001 - 07:53 am     Yesterday: Breakfast: Caramel Latte, fiber cereal Lunch: Chicken quesadilla (low-fat tortilla, pre-cooked chicken, 1 oz. cheese, no oil) Snack: Caramel latte, 8 saltines Dinner: 2 scrambled eggs, 2 pieces wheat toast (no butter), orange Walked: 1.5 miles Have a great weekend everyone! I have a big christmas dinner to go to tonight, wish me luck!! |
Max | Saturday, December 01, 2001 - 01:17 pm     Good luck with dinner, Jewels! Yesterday's tote: Breakfast: 'sausage' muffin, coffee Lunch: Lean Cuisine Chicken Carbonara, banana, granola bar Dinner: Healthy Choice Salisbury Steak, peaches Snack: peanut butter and teddy grahams Exercise: 30 minutes on the bike for 6 miles Today, I'm making soup, bread, and cookie mixes for gifts (put all the ingredients in layers in a jar, decorate the top, and attach the recipe). Tonight I'm going to the Blazers vs. Suns basketball game with friends. Dinner at a Thai place first (can't wait for yummy, low-fat noodle salad!). Hope everyone has a great day! |
