Good Saturday Everyone!


I haven't been back to the nutritionist yet, but my home scale shows another 3 pounds! But I'm not gonna celebrate until I get the official reading.

Yesterday:

breakfast:
Chocolate protein shake, cottage cheese, 2 packets of equal, ice, and water, mixed in blender....then one slice of toast with fat free margarine.

lunch:
We had a birthday lunch at work, but I managed to minimize the portions of everything, something I've not been able to do before in these situations!

Bar-B-Que sausage and chopped beef (probably less than 4 oz total), less than 1 oz of potato salad, 1 slice of Texas Toast, 1/2 cup of beans, and a small slice of birthday cake (choclate with white icing); about 12 oz of diet coke to top it all off.

dinner:
more food? are you kidding?

Okay, I had two chocolate rice cakes and a LARGE glass of skim milk. It is very tasty -- almost like eating forbidden cereal.


snacks:
Nothing else
water:
All done
vitamins:
Missed two calciums and one B complex.

exercise:
Does walking the length of Super Walmart about 5 times count??

Have a terrific weekend everyone!!!

Unofficial congratulations to you Spy!! And, yes, walking the length of Super Walmart 5 times does count especially with your heart rate up as high as I know it was!!

Definitely! Unfortunately, I think I was a candidate for a heart attack for about 2 hours.

Hey, hey...I think that additional pound down is for real (5 pounds total!)

I'm REALLY fighting the tempation to pop some popcorn tonight.

Food today:
Breakfast: Nothing except Caffeine-free diet pepsi (I woke up with a bad sinus/earache/sore throat thing) OK....I took two decongestants for breakfast

Lunch: Half a tomatoe and a grilled BBQ chicken breast

Supper: 4 oz leftover grilled steak, three green onions, dill pickle spear, and less than a cup of salad with a splash of Italian dressing.

Snack: Handful of honey roasted peanuts...Carb count is so low I could actually do the popcorn tonight.

Keep up the good work, folks!

Breakfast: Slimfast shake
Lunch: pita pocket with reduced fat peanut butter
Dinner: grilled chicken sandwich with tomato and lettuce

No snacks yet. I just got back from urgent care a little while ago where I found out what's been ailing me the past several days--kidney infection etc. Hence, no excercise for me again. On the plus side, the meds I got are supposed to cause appetite loss for a change!! This could work out after all.

Marm, great work!!

Congratulations to all of you who have lost weight or stayed the same this week. Reading your posts is keeping me honest.... I don't weigh-in until Monday morning... keeping my fingers crossed (hey, that way I can't snack as easily)! Have a great weekend everyone!!!

Today's tote:
Breakfast: 'sausage' muffin, coffee
Lunch: none
Dinner: Stir fry chicken over vermicelli noodles at a Thai restaurant (YUM!)
Snacks: a handful of chocolate chips while I put together jars of cookie mix for presents. :)

Exercise: none today

Blazers vs. Suns game: disappointing (Blazers lost) First half was good, but the second half they acted like they were playing Hot Potato instead of basketball! Complete loss of ball control. It was sad.

Tess

Max, I'm pretty sure that jumping up and down and yelling at a basketball game counts as exercise!! Well, at least I would count it but I also count fluffing up my pillows as arm exercises. Sitting up while I do it would be a crunch...right??

Sorry about the game but I do love your descriptions!!

Survived the Christmas party without too much of a downfall, I think.

Yesterday:
Breakfast: Caramel latte, fiber cereal
Lunch: Chicken quesadilla, apple
Dinner: Salad (lettuce, egg, tomato, small amount of dressing), Salmon with corn, potatoes in dill sauce, ice cream with a little chocolate sauce. I only ate about half of everything served for the dinner, which was very hard, because it was an amazing meal! Oh, and I avoided all appetizers before the meal!
Drinks: 2 light beers (my first in months!)

Max, as a Blazer fan myself, it sounds like it was a very disappointing loss, would have been a hard game to be at! Our Christmas party was at the Mac Club...if you have ever been there for a party you know how hard it was to only eat half of everything!

Max

Sunday, December 02, 2001 - 01:37 pm EditMoveDeleteIP
Jewels, Congrats on resisting at the Mac Club. Yes, that can be VERY challenging! :)

Hey Jewels...great job at the Christmas dinner. I have one tomorrow night, and I will do my best.

Today's food: It was leftover's day!
Breakfast...rest of the popcorn from last night!
Lunch (more like brunch) Last 4 oz grilled steak, cup of salad with splash of Italian dressing, dill pickle spear
Dinner: Last BBQ chicken breast (Halleluia!) cup of salad with a splash of Italian dressing, dill pickle spear (yeah, it kinda looks like lunch!) and two devilled eggs (the only freshly made food of the day) and a medium glass of skim milk.

I'm trying to shake a sinus/headcold thing...breathing is easier today, but I'm still to achy to exercise.

Keep up the good work everyone!

Tess

Sunday, December 02, 2001 - 03:24 pm EditMoveDeleteIP
Marm--I need you to come cook for me!!! So far I've had a SlimFast shake and nothing else because I'm sick in bed (big surprise--NOT) and no one has been home all day. Hope your sinus/cold crud gets better very soon.

But--I have great news!!! I've officially lost 5 pounds now since Spy got us going!! Exercise?? Who needs exercise??

Spygirl

Congrats EVERYONE!!!

Yesterday's Menu:

breakfast:
Slept through

lunch:
Egg and bacon burrito -- 3 med eggs and 2 slices of bacon wrapped in a tortilla -- Yummy. The bacon is a fat-content stretch, but oh well!

dinner:
Dinner at Applebee's: Stir fry chicken with a side Margarita

Got all water, vitamins, and even exercise -- Danced for about 3 hours! My poor quad muscles are killing me today!

I also had two coronas, and several run and cokes -- don't ask -- so I hope the dancing helped to counteract the alcohol


Today's Menu:

breafast:
Two pancakes -- no butter, sugar free syrup.

lunch:
Nothing

dinner:
Chicken Quesadillas

I've gotten TONS of water today, I'm behind on vitamins, will try to catch up. I walked briefly today for exercise....trying to work out the soreness in my legs.

Have a terrific Monday everyone!

Congrats Tess and feel better! :)

Yesterday:
Breakfast: 'sausage' muffin with an egg added, coffee
Lunch: had breakfast late after church, so no lunch
Dinner: Lean Cuisine Thai Chicken
Snacks: 3 Danish butter cookies at church coffee hour (was that really breakfast? :)), handful of chocolate chips (made some more of those gifts)

Exercise: None. Took mom to see the Neil Diamond concert last night. Does stress count as exercise? She's 85 and getting pretty frail. It was nerve wracking getting her through the crowds, but she did great!

Weighed in this morning. Lost another 3 pounds! Total so far (since August 13 when I started this): 31 pounds!!!! :) Still have a long way to go, but I love this progress.

I have officially lost 4 pounds! Wooo Hooo! I don't feel like it, but that is what the scale says, so I will go with that!

Yesterday:
Breakfast: Caramel Latte, 1/2 plain bagel, banana
Lunch: Veggie dog, bun, pepperjack cheese, orange
Dinner: Chicken vegetable soup, 6 small steak fries
Snack: 3 gum drops

Tess, I hope you are feeling better soon!

I'm down 5 lbs, too. I have a sick child (she has the flu), and that last pound came off fast.
The Dr. has her home for 3 days.

Moonie, does carrying an 8 year old through a pharmacy count as weight training?

Tess

Monday, December 03, 2001 - 11:37 am EditMoveDeleteIP
Wow!! Max, Jewels and Twigs, you're doing great!!!

Twiggy, I'll answer for Moon--yes, on the weight training. Double credit if the 8 year old is asleep.

I'm thinking of starting "Spy's Liquid Diet". No, not the protein shake one---the one that started with a side Margarita and went from there!! Don't laugh--it could work.

Yesterday's menu
Breakfast: who was up for breakfast??
Lunch: Oooops---slept through that also
Snack: Slim Fast Shake
Dinner: Left-over Weiner's Famous Tuna Casserole
Snack: 2 Rosettes and a couple of mini-donuts.
Drinks: water and diet V-8 Splash berry blend.

wooohoo I get extra credit! If my husband wasn't out of town for the day, I would have sent him to get her medicine. Anyway, she fell asleep waiting for the pharmacist (who was trying to hurry).

Hey, everyone is doing really great!

Afraid I blew it with the Christmas dinner, but we'll see what the scale says.

Breakfast: Too stuffed up to eat
Lunch: Chicken salad and 6 crackers (pre-packaged)
Snacks: NONE
Dinner: Diet Pepsi, Crock of French Onion soup, pickle, 1/2 of a quarter pound gourmet hamburger, handful of home fries. I left quite a bit on my plate....nose still stuffed up and then running like a faucet...makes it hard to eat!

Looking forward to a better tomorrow!

Wow, it looks like everyone is doing great! I lost another pound this week (4.5 total so far). I'm finding it a struggle to resist all the Christmas baking and chocolate that has reared its ugly head at work... any suggestions.
