Coffee (1 point) Plain Greek yogurt w/blueberries & granola (4 points) Turkey breast on a toasted thin bun (4 points) V8 (1 point) EAS protein drink (3 points) 2 glasses of water (0 points) Tuna on toasted thin bun (4 points) Banana (0 points) Sweet potato chips (2 points) 1 glass of water (0 points) 3 Hebrew Nat'l franks (3 points) Applesauce (1 point) 2 glasses of water (0 points) Pork tri-tip off the grill (5 points) Broccoli & green beans (0 points) Sweet potato fries (4 points) Apple (0 points) V8 (1 point) |
We stopped in at two farmers markets and did the grocery store thing today. We got beef steak tomatoes, red potatoes, string beans, corn, carnival squash, jalapino pepper, orange pepper, beets and a cantaloupe.
Goat cheese tomato and basil appetizer, with a veggie pizza for dinner tonight. Juicing tomorrow. For everyone having issues with the scale, put it away until you feel like doing it, it's deceptive anyway, inches not weight is what I look at. A pound of fat is the same as a pound of muscle, and the scale can't tell which it is. |

Look at that list. Good stuff, lots of food......AND.....I still have 2 of my daily points I could use. That's where I get screwed up because I think, "Well, I could have some frozen yogurt w/strawberries for 4 points; so that will be my 2 plus 2 from weekly extras." I don't think that's very good thinking. Actually, I think it might have gotten me into a little trouble a time or two. Or is that how the rest of you think too? Hmmmm??? ETA: What I'm wondering is if I should eat a chicken breast for 3 points instead of that yogurt treat for 4? See what I'm sayin'? |
walked/jogged 3.7 miles on Wednesday and 3.12 yesterday. I have been dipping into my weekly points which I usually don't touch. Going walking/jogging again tonight... feels good to be back on track!

I think this is so important. Tracking what we do and the outcome from it. This is how we can make course corrections and learn how we respond on an individual basis to different foods and activities. Knowing how it usually works for most people is a good guide, but this kind of detailed, personalized, tried and tested information is invaluable for continuing to improve on the results gained from our actions. Bravo Medusa! :glasses: |
Good morning to all!!! Chocolate oat pancake for brekkie, some black coffee. In an hour I will have my pre workout drink, supps, and off to meet my trainer for a kick arse workout!
Only lost a pound this week. I was feeling very lethargic, this past week from the diet, so I added more carbs this past week. Feeling better as of yesterday, so its back to the normal routine!!!! Y'all have a great weekend!! |
Official weigh-in today, with a few tiny slips and one medium sized one after hearing about my mother....so I was a little nervous.
End result....down 1 more pound. :) Phew!! Hope you all have a great day. :gimmehug: |
Good Morning Folks,
So I decided that I should weigh-in today since I was reluctant not to do so for 2 weeks. I hopped on the scale and gained 3.2, which is no surprise. Time to face reality and do a bit of soul searching. I'm really going to try and get back on track and be more conscious of what my food intake consists of. I need to keep it real and remember that this is how the weight-gain slowly comes back. I worked hard to get the weight that I lost so far off and being up a few lbs isn't too bad. So I need to do something about it now before it ends up being more weight gain week-to-week which means everything I lost will come back on. I mentioned in earlier posts that there is never any middle ground with me. It's either all or nothing. This is the only way I'll be able to achieve my goal(s). And if I truly put my mind to it, I'll be able to accomplish my goal. It's getting back into the "healthy" mind-set which I have difficulty with. All it takes is one taste of something unhealthy and I'm hooked on it again and will continue to eat those foods in small portions, subconsciously thinking it's "ok" to do. Well, it isn't for me. This is what gets me off track and I start to decline and go backward and the weight slowly put back on. Battling weight sucks and it's a fuckin' major effort. It's more difficult this time around because of my hormonal issues and being peri-menopause. The battle continues on... Have a good day everyone. |
Good Morning Thinker,
I would say have the frozen yogurt and strawberries. The yogurt has calcium that your body needs and the fruit is always a good addition. I love to add dried fruit or granola to my yogurt in the morning. Have a great day! Zimmy Quote:

You can do it and you are right. I find it so hard working in an office, where once a month, we have a food day. I am talking foods so rich and heavy, that just looking at them, you will gain weight. I am trying to cut down on my sweet tooth and I bought a bag of dried cranberries to snack on between when I have lunch before work and when I go to dinner. I have found it is easier to keep track of what I eat on my days off than when I am working.
Good luck and see you at the Peabody Gym in Little Rock! Zimmy Quote:

Good morning healthy people,
This morning I am *comfortably* into my size 32 jeans. While this is great, these are the last ones I have and still 20 lbs to go. :| While I was rummaging about I found what I think I may keep as a souvenir; my size 52 belt that was too small. :D Beautiful morning, off to the beach... :theisland: |
I had a great walk on the beach today.
As I get closer to my goal weight it is, as expected, becoming more difficult to create the necessary caloric deficit to stay on course. One of the things I have not yet discussed has been my constant struggles with chronic pain during time spent exercising even though all I do is walk. Without too much detail I have had issues with back pain from trauma for 28 years and some pretty serious issues with my feet for the last 6 years. Thankfully I have pretty well addressed the foot issues over the last 6-8 months and that is going well. I had expectations around the back situation that significant weight loss would not fix it (the traumas predated the weight gain) but perhaps reduce the price being paid. Not so much. I decided to implement the same approach that has been working well for finding and applying techniques that efficiently address weight loss to this other problem as well. :glasses: Nothing concrete yet, but I have been studying up on basic biomechanics and some alternative (in the United States) techniques for the last 6 weeks. So far so good, my activity levels are unchanged and I have cut my meds in half, obviously the goal is to get rid of them altogether. How does this relate to healthy weight loss? Accidentally, while doing some of my biomechanical research, I tripped over “Nordic walking”, apparently I’m the last person on the planet to know what this is all about. It’s incredibly popular in Europe and I gather very good for people who are challenged by many other activities as I am. This is extra good news for me because I do my walking on sand and I can use it in a way that should somewhat mimic cross country skiing. That is something I’ve only ever done a few times many years ago and it kicked my butt! I’m really hoping that this will give me the extra oomph that I need to finish out this loss phase and a good tool going into maintenance. I had set out some requirements that any change to my exercise would have to meet;
I do believe that Nordic Walking will meet all of my criteria. I’ll keep you posted when I get my “sticks”. :balloon: |
Another 3 lbs. gone...
Did and upper body workout and still feel as though someone swung me around my arms... I am going on an average 4 times a week... this includes my hour with my trainer on Wednesday's... I made some chicken breast earlier in the week using 2 different marinades, one was a chipolte pepper and the other was garlic pepper and grilled them... They turned out awesome! I cooked them slowly so that they wouldn't come out burned I also rubbed the grill with peanut oil so they wouldn't stick. I also made Turkey chili and put it in individual containers and froze them so that I have ready made stuff for lunch. I hope everyone is doing well on their journey... keep up all of your hard work! |
Good Morning Everyone,
I talked to a friend yesterday who is a nutritionist and I told him that I am trying to cut back on how much sugar I consume. He told me about adding honey to plain Greek yogurt instead of buying the pre-sweetened version. I am having a 6oz bowl of plain Greek yogurt with one teaspoon of honey and it tastes better than the other stuff. I am also having an 8oz glass of Chocolate soymilk and a cup of coffee. I picked up a box of Nature Valley Granola Bars to have for a snack and they were on sale at Publix for a $1.99. Fiber Choice makes a weight management fiber supplement and I bought those to! Have a great day! Zimmy |
