This weekend was ok for me. I exercised every day whether I wanted to or not. lol I felt like my healthy lifestyle choices were being challenged. I was surrounded by food! My Abuelita (grandmother) was here on a visit. She expresses her love through food. She brought with her tamales and gorditas!!!!!!! Imagine the temptation!!! So for the most part I stayed away from the food. When I could see everyone eating, I would go to the kitchen and get a snack. Preferrably one I am a major fan of!
Last night, my sister hosted a cookout making their ever so popular hamburgers. I opted to only eat the hamburger patties with my favorite fixins. Just eliminating the bread and fries/chips made me feel much better. Today, they had barbacoa tacos. I had two with lean meat topped with avocado on corn tortillas. :) (the flour tortillas looked so yummy). ANyhow, before they left they ordered pizza and while I really wanted a slice, I just couldnt bring myself to do it. I was going to just give in and have one, but the more I thought about it the more I realized I didnt want to waste my calories on a slice of pizza from a restaurant I dont even like! This is a classic example of something I would do in the past. Its like if my brain knows its not good for me it wants it! No matter what! Not this time. Challenge after challenge!!! However, I did not escape this weekend without having 1 casualty. I had a slice of pie...and you know what? I savored every bite! When it was done, I was done. That was good enough for me! |

I shared the "normal" weight standards with T....It cracked me up when hy said...."Ummmm, I dont want to be that. What is the overweight standard? Can I aim for that?" What made me laugh, is that hy and I are aiming to be overweight according to "the standard". lol But really, I am just aiming to be me. Kinda random...sorry! I tend to have random ramblings...and here I am rambling about my ramblings! lol |
evening everyone,im up and feeling some better and tomorrow will be even better..I hope.
Once I was in my docs office and the nurses were talking about weight andwhat was obese,then I spoke to my doc about the subject he told me anyone who was 20% over what the mda weights and sise chart says.At the time I weighed 165 and didnt have a fat cell on my body cause ive always been muscele bound by leading a very active life of working on a farm and raiseing horses wich keeps me in great shape.He told me He even condidered me obese at my going weight..said at my 5'6' medeum frame I should weigh 110.I have weighed 110 in my jocky days and looked like I was starveing to death...wich I nearly was to hold shuch weight.After reading up on the weights and measues I knew it was a load of crap then and more so now.All of us have diffrent body shaped and skelatel fram densety that shape our bodies.I may not see 165 again but my goal weight is 200 so I only have 52 more pounds to go after loseing 51 pounds already loseing 35 more may not be such a big deal, I call anything below my goal weigh a plus win win for me if I dont im ok with that. . |
Good Evening Everyone,
I just got back from my walk. I decided to add Metallica, Korn and Motley Crüe to my playlist. My knees are letting me know that I shouldn't have done that, hehe. Have a great night, Zimmy |

Stuffed French Toast - 4 Points Per Serving
I absolutely love french toast. A girl from my old meetings had made this and shared the recipe with all of us.
I don't have this recipe figured up in the new PP value, but it is good none the less. Can make some alterations such as the WW cream cheese subst. for the FF cream cheese or brand of bread. Stuffed French Toast 4 Points Per Serving http://yumm.com/data/recipes/photo_831.jpg?w=150 Ingredients 8 slices reduced-calorie white bread 1/4 cup (2 ounces) Philadelphia fat-free cream cheese 1/4 cup strawberry spreadable fruit spread 2 eggs or equivalent in egg substitute 2 tablespoons skim milk 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract butter(spray or otherwise) optional and not yet accounted for in value syrup(any flavor) optional and not yet accounted for in value Directions Spread 1 teaspoon cream cheese onto each slice of bread. Spread 1 teaspoon fruit spread over top of each. Put bread together to form 4 sandwiches. In a medium bowl, combine eggs, skim milk, and vanilla extract. Beat well, using a fork. Spray a griddle or large skillet with butter-flavored cooking spray. Dip each sandwich into egg mixture, coating both sides evenly. Place on griddle and cook 2 to 3 minutes on each side or until golden brown. Serve at once. There's also a link to 2-3 more french toast recipes below. http://www.skinnykitchen.com/recipes...toast-recipes/ |
Someone may have already mentioned this website way back in this thread (not sure), but, I'm posting the website here. It's actually pretty good and there are many different kinds of alternatives for tasty foods, recipes, etc.

Bookmarked! Thanks, Scorpy!
I have to get some exercise in this week so I can banish the 2 pounds I gained last week. Gonna do the Wii for a while and have a date with the exercise bike later tonight! Angie back in the saddle again! |

Slender Kitchen is another good one. http://www.slenderkitchen.com/ |
Good for you! I miss the Wii :( I LOVED the boxing, tennis and baseball. Since my shoulder cuff is messed up I can no longer play those games. Figures, something I was really diggin' and dayum talk about working up a sweat. Especially from the boxing! I was also hitting the speed bag in the basement, and shit that was a great workout, but again, I can't do that stuff anymore since my Physical Therapist said it's a no-no and I'm actually in PT twice a week. Been going for a month now and still have a way to go.
The treadmill, walking and stuff like I know is good, but personally for me it just doesn't cut it. I LOVE the type of activity involved with what I mentioned above. You know I'm an animal Dusa :cheesy: and prefer a much more "hands on" type of workout. I'm limited though because of the other issues like the herniated disc in my lower lumbar that I experienced back in February. That was a nightmare and I wanted to shoot myself due to the excruciating pain. Nothing helped until I received the corizone injection. That was miraculous to me and I've had no pain until recently I'm feeling it flare up a bit. So, I need to watch what I do. So there goes my kickboxing and martial arts desires that I wanted to seriously get into. Ok back to the website. This website is actually real helpful and you won't be disappointed. We also have the Hungry Girl cookbook. Some really good things that are surprisingly delicious and low in points, etc... I highly recommend it. The website is also pretty enjoyable to read through, as it's animated and funny. It's just not based around recipes. There are several areas that are worth reading. Navigate through, you won't be disappointed. You can subscribe to daily email. I took this from that area of the website: Sign up now for your DAILY dose of Hungry Girl's tips & tricks, plus recipes and more! Monday is the day for all the latest GUILT-FREE FOOD NEWS. Tuesday, we make over fatty favorites in CHEW THE RIGHT THING. Wednesday is ASK HUNGRY GIRL day, with advice straight from HG. Thursday's WEEKLY WEIGH IN offers something different and surprising each week--- usually new guilt-free recipes! And Friday's GIRLS BITE OUT serves up survival strategies and more! Hope you find it useful! Quote:

My goal is to do some sort of exercise every day this week.
Last week I started out so strong and then the combination of a big event on Friday night and out-of-town guests meant I didn't do any significant exercise on Saturday or Sunday. I could have made the time to run or walk, but I didn't and I'm sure it will show when I track my weight this week. I definitely feel better when I've exercised every day (even if it doesn't feel like it at the time) and carving out time to exercise helps me to stay focused on making good food and portion decisions in the evening (when I'm most likely to be tempted). So, back on track, again. |
Good morning & happy Monday y'all :)
Well, I overdid it this weekend. I ate too much, I drank too much and didn't hit the gym once. Ugh, I totaled up my points this morning, and I used 38 of my extra points allowed. Ok, not terribly too bad... but not good either. During the week, I can stay hella focused on food & exercise. Our weekends are always filled with plans with friends or family.... and honestly, it's hard to remain focused on what I'm eating, if we're hovering over buffet setting food in the kitchen. Ugh, I have got to get it together ~ but I refuse to beat myself up AFTER THE FACT. Every meal or snack is a chance to make a healthier choice! My weekly weigh in is on Thursday, but I weighed myself this morning to see if/what damage the funfilled weekend did. It showed a 1 pound weight gain... but I KNOW that I didn't drink near enough water. So, I'm thinking that if I chug more water than I can stand, stick to eating healthier and get some exercise in, I can still pull of a weight loss for the week. THANK YOU everyone for sharing, encouraging, supporting and posting all these yummy receipes! I hope that you all have a wonderful day!!!! |
So I went to my wonderful and amazing gay yoga on Sunday afternoon. Holy Hanna... I love that boy, but I had sweat rolling out of my hair and down my back. I think it could be considered a good workout. :) The muscles along my spine are, well chastising me. Tonite is Zumba. In my morning fog I packed my workout bag, got to work and realized that I forgot my pants. So, I went to winners and luckily got a pair from the clearance rack ... :thumbsup:
I did measure myself - thanks again PinkieLee - and I think I measured my thighs wrong last week, cause this week I measured five inches less. So, although that would be nice, I know how my pants fit. But I did lose inches everywhere, except my breasts (whew). I kind of want to hang on to my girls for as long as I can :cheesy:! I am here to wish everyone an amazing and success filled week. :cheerleader: |
I took a day off from work today so I could rest my back another day,besides I have another chiro appointment at 2:30pm,hopfuly I can get back into the swing of thinga tonight.I brought my exersise bike in the house along with my stair stepper with a fue small free weights...if it wasnt so blasted hot I would take a walk when the sun goes down but its still 95 or so even then.Relly need/want to get back to the gym..
|
Fell off the healthy food wagon and bounced hard a couple of times the past few days. It's really difficult around my parents, especially my mother, who thinks she has to make every form of sausage when my sisters and I are home. And my sister makes these cornflake and peanut butter gooey treats...I resisted the first couple of days and then caved after that. Argh!
So back to clean eating today, even though I am still here for one more day. Focusing on small bites. And I'm about to leave for the beach for a swim. |
did an hour on the treadmill, 100 curls, 50 bench presses and 30 situps this morning. i know my legs will be hurting tonight at work. 19.5 more lbs to go to reach my goal.

Dr. Oz
Does anyone watch Dr. Oz? A friend of mine was telling that this morning Dr. Oz was talking about healthy weight loss tips. this one in particular was referring to eating apples before your meal. Apples contain pectin and pectin help you to feel fuller longer.

Hey, remember the old saying "an apple a day, keeps the doctor away." Perhaps it has something to do with the pectin. |
Hello, My name is Angie and I am addicted to Fuji's!
I have at least one Fuji apple a day and LOVE how they make my stomach rumble after eating. It's like all that natural fiber is getting in there and scrubbing around and getting out all that bad stuff :) Fujis are crisp and sweet and you can get a giant bag at Sam'sClub for around $4! |
I love to chop up an apple and put it in a salad :)
|
new motivating factor to exercise (in some way) every single day:
skipping workouts for three consecutive days results in abject pain when you re-start. ouch! :| |
I LOVE gala apples! The local grocery store by my house has been running them for 5 for $1!
One of my favorite summertime receipes is for chicken salad. I boil a couple of boneless chicken breasts (I'm sure you could use can chicken instead, but I've never tried it), I let 'em cool and then shred. I dice up 2 small apples and add in a handful of sliced almonds & cranberries (it's a salad topper mix they sell in the salad dressing aisle). Then I mix with a couple of tablespoons of the LIGHT miracle whip. And voila! I usually eat it on a sandwich thin or with unsalted crackers. YUMMY! It makes quite a bit, so you'll have lunch for a few days! I also like diced apples in a spinach sald, with leftover grilled chicken and avacado slices with a LIGHT raspberry vinagrette dressing. Mmmmmmmm! |
I am a honeycrisp apple kinda girl...yummy!
Sitting in sauna craving apples! |
mmm, apples..i loved that tip! was laid up on the sofa healing from oral surgery so i got to watch his show today... i love Dr Oz , lol. (i watch his show everyday, unless i am working during that time..) - He said if you eat a large apple before lunch, you will eat less for lunch and it helps fill you.. that it can cut up to 187 calories off what you eat at lunch..(not sure how he came up with that number exactly) and if you do this everyday for a year, it will help you lose 5 lbs in that year. - He said that refrigerating canned goods is another tip. Because when you open it (he had a can of beef stew that was and another that wasnt refrigerated for an example), you can skim the hardened fat out of it, and if you do this everyday for a year it can help you lose up to 6 lbs, that is IF you are gonna eat those canned things anyway.. if you dont, even better. - He also said to dilute your juice, theyre full of sugar, even the light variety.. drinking sugary juices you are consuming up to 48 lbs of extra sugar a year.. if you drink 2 glasses a day, dilute them half juice, half water in your glass, and you can lose up to 13 lbs that year just by doing this.. (unless you arent a sugary juice drinker anyway, which is better of course).. - there was another called fake a carb.. where he used cauliflower in place of pasta, and prepared it like he would pasta.. i didnt get the recipe or even really hear what he was saying because i got a phonecall.. - Another one was replace oil with applesauce in your recipes.. or use half the oil and use applesauce for the other half, i think it was.. he had brownies as an example - and said you can lose up to 6 lbs in a year by doing this from now on, if you are a sweets eater and bake.. many recipes can be converted to a healthier way.. - last was swap gym bags with a friend..keeps you wanting to go to the gym, by switching bags.. they'll need theirs and you'll need yours kinda deal..or buddy up with someone who is fantastic about going to gym or working out and eating healthy, it helps stay motivated.. i think that was all his tips that i can remember anyway..lol... |

We live right close to the SC/NC border. Near Hendersonville and Hendersonville is home of the Apple Festival!!! Everything you can imagine apple!!! This appeals to me since I originate from Northern Michigan where we had the Cherry Festival in Traverse City!
http://www.ncapplefestival.org/ I like Honey Crisp, Gala, Pink Lady, Fuji, Cameo's, and Ambrosia apples!!! i have long substituted applesauce for my oil(as long as I had it on hand). I like making applesauce and applebutter. |

My food choices were not the greatest this weekend, but I walked a heck of a lot and spent hours swimming. Then tonight I did 45 minutes of yoga and 2 hours of cardio and strength training. Hopefully that makes up for the ginormous piece of hot fudge cake Saturday...lol |

Had some egg beaters with onion, basil, black pepper, and fat free cheese this morning and LORD, could I tell a difference in my level of hunger later.
Yesteday, I had high-fiber oatmeal and was ravenous ALL DAY LONG. I was like a bottomless pit and ate every apple, carrot, and grape in the house. Today with the eggs, it's 2:30 here and I know it's time for lunch but I'm not even hungry. Definitely will be having a protein-filled breakfast from now on to avoid the late afternoon munchies. |
1 hour on the eliptical....4 laps around the track....where the hell did I find the energy? lol Feels good :)
|
I didn't get a chance to exercise lastnight due to being exhausted and it raining. I am not going to exercise tonight due to a migraine from my blood sugar dropping and not eating on time. I am having a simple peanut butter and jelly sandwich for dinner.
Have a great night, Zimmy |
Did an hour and a half on yoga and strength training, and going to start cardio after this little break. Down another 3.5lbs this week. :)
|
I was advised by someone to do a check in with everyone, and since I refuse to have My butt kicked by a redhead (no names mentioned) lol I am hauling My rear end in here to check in with everyone sooooooooooo ~ here I am :-)
Well lets see hmmmmm where do I begin? I've kind of fallen off the wagon again, and I'm having a hard time getting back to where I was before when I first began. I got a deal from 7-11 like 3-4 days ago where it was buy two 2L pepsi's for $4 so I figured I had been a good boy and I thought I'd splurge abit ........ well that was not a good idea and I'm very much regretting it now. I also was not sure what to havefor lunch today so I made Myself an entire box of mac 'n cheese. Talk about too much at one time ~ I definately regret that because it was just WAYYYYYY more than I've been used to and I felt yucky after having eaten so much. I really need to plan out My meals better especially since My parents are only home during the weeknights, Saturday evenings and Sunday's. With working at their floral shop and being so busy sometimes, the only one who ever seems to be home is Me and My sister. Since they eat at the shop, I am going to have to be the one to plan My own meals; My dad used to get kinda pissy when I bought My own food and didnt share (he still does actually) but really if I'm the one needing to be losing the weight and I'm really the only one home most of the time what right does he have to complain? Time for Me to start taking care of Me, regardless of whether he likes it or not I am a big boy and have to do what is best for Myself. Time to get back on the wagon ........ no more falling off !!!!!!!!! |
