I hope everything turned out ok for you yesterday. Look for antifreeze laid out for your pups to get in to. It sounds like you had an intruder.

Good morning & and happy Thursday healthy peeps!

Well, I learned a hard lesson yesterday. My boss, while trying to nice, brought me back lunch. I opened it up... chicken fried steak & mashed potatos all smothered in cream gravy. Oh my... how could I let this southern comfort food go to waste?! I should have given it to someone else, but instead decided to eat it. WRONG idea. Because I had pretty much cut out fried foods from my diet, by the time my food digested I was already sick at my stomach. My body hated me for eating that food... and my 3:00pm I threw my guts up.

I left work early and went home to lay down. My stomach in PAIN because of food that I ate. Needless to say, my body rejected the fried food that I had been living off of for so many years... and gave me a big reality check that it doesn't want it anymore!

This morning for breakfast, I had lowfat vanilla yogurt with strawberry slices & granola and coffee. Lunch/dinner will be Subway since I have to work the 2nd job tonight. For snacks, I have gala apples, string cheese & 100 calorie almond packs.

Anyway, I hope that everyone is doing well and staying strong & moving forward on their journeys!

Well that stomach bug threw me off kilter and I had to eat whatever I could get to cooperate which included lots of crackers and toast. Back on track now but damn that was quite a setback.

I have to admit I don't want to.

Zimmeh · 11-03-2011, 09:01 AM

Hope you are feeling better today! Since everyone at work has been getting sick in the employee cafeteria, I have been ordering from one of the restaurants. I notice that when I eat the French fries, I have heartburn within a half an hour. Hugs to you and get to feeling better!

I am sorry you got sick.

I had a CHALLENGE yesterday. I wanted fat and carbs and wanted it sooooooooo bad. The exact thing you experienced PinkieLee is exactly what I KNEW my body would go through. I did not succumb, not for lack of my shadow "want to eat what I want" trying, but because my body just cannot tolerate it anymore ( and I have worked too freaking hard). I stayed in my office and drank water, my body at least likes that

I hope you have a better day.

I am going to try to stay out of trouble today

I went for a checkup last week. I hate to say it but I hadn’t been to the doctor in over 2 years. What really makes that bad is that he was prescribing me meds for hypertension and when I ran out I just didn’t take anything for my high blood pressure. I did my weigh in, had my things listened to and left 4 vials of blood. I also left withOUT a script for hypertension. Yep, that right…no BP meds. I dropped 32 lbs since my last visit which I’m guessing had something to do with the lower BP. I’m still on the borderline of high but he didn’t want to prescribe anything just yet. So I’ll be going back in a month to be rechecked. Oh and btw, my blood work came back with everything in the normal range. Time to get on the treadmill. This has been a great incentive.

Zimmeh · 11-03-2011, 09:21 AM

Doesn't that feel wonderful? I love knowing that I have beat heart disease and diabetes because of my weight loss...

Congratulations!!!

my personal trainer is a Nutritionist and if you are interested in his ideas and his theories i'd be happy to give you his page... he is on Facebook.

what i do are the following:

food shopping on a full stomach

going out to eat on a full stomach ~ meaning eating an hour before, so it saves you about 300 calories and a little cash

cut down on carbs

up the cardiovascular activities

eat more veggies at dinner instead of carbs ~ like i cut out pasta, rice; now i have broccoli, spinach, etc...

eat until you are content ~ Not Full

i went from 133 lbs. down to 116 lbs. in a matter of a few months...

Zimmeh · 11-04-2011, 04:17 PM

Good Evening Everyone,

I had a blast walking around The Mall at Millennia today with my friend and then we had a delicious lunch at Panera! I am hoping we can do it again!!

I had a hamburger with carrots tonight for dinner and an Odwalla blueberry smoothie as a snack.

sylvie · 11-05-2011, 08:08 AM

Good Morning all.. ♥

So glad to feel motivated again, the last few weeks i've been a lil mopey with my exercising, and didn't do it quite enough..
Also, picked up on a bit of a bad habit, i found orange juice which is really good for me, it's natural, but when i buy it, i drink far too much each day uncontrollably so had to put a stop to that..

i only managed a 1 lb loss (but thankful for no gain) since my last weigh in.. So that brings me at 59 lbs lost, i soooo wanted to be in the 60's this time around.. Finally managed to get motivated, with exercise and eating better, STOPPED buying the dang orange juice since i've no control ..

Wednesday, i went for a 3 1/2 hour long hike with a friend of mine, which felt great! Used muscles i didn't know existed i think, ouch! lol..i figured out a good work out plan for me, even while i work crazy hours, so far it's working out great..

Breakfast today, i had a yogurt, 1/2 cup multigrain cheerios with skim milk, 1/2 banana sliced in and a boiled egg..

Yum!! having some grapes for snack now, lunch i think will be tuna salad on crackers with some sliced cucumber, tomatoes & maybe carrot sticks!

Have a fantastic day xoxo!

Hi everyone

Saturday morning weigh in, and I'm down 2 lbs. I'm baking chocolate chip cookies for Rooster today, so my willpower will get a bit of a test...but so far, so good.

I'm still not hitting the exercise like I should...it's harder for me to work out than to eat right. Being really good about sticking to the food plan more than 95% of the time...so that's the main thing.

Have a great day!

The "reality check" part of this last year has been one of the more interesting parts of the journey for me.

While the losing some favored foods part sucks, it speaks volumes about how much we can teach ourselves about ourselves.

While the Doctors, and books, and documentaries, will all tell us to do things like "you should cut back on fried foods";
eliminating an item for a time and then reintroducing it will give us a visceral lesson not soon forgotten.

The gut trumps the intellect in a pretty big way.
