Don't forget to streeeeeeetttttcccchhhhhhhhhhh!!!!
If you *are* working out and even if you're having trouble getting with the program, don't forget to stretch. I do a good, thorough 15-20 minute stretching routine everyday......sometimes twice a day.......and even just doing that makes a difference in how you feel. It is a definite difference-maker for me! I start from the bottom and work my way up.......nothing gets overlooked. Have a good day, make good choices, and smile from the inside out!! ![]()

Today:
Breakfast: Smoothie made with almond milk, banana, peanut butter, ice, and low-fat yogurt = 5 ww points Mid-morning snack: Large spicy hot v8 = 4WW points Lunch: Progresso light soup Southwest Vegetable = 4 WW points Afternoon snack: Banana and apple = 0 points Pre-Gym snack: Pumpkin and flax granola bar = 4 WW points Dinner tonight: Probably a lean cut of leftover steak and some steamed veggies. Guestimating 8 WW points there. This is only 25 points for the day and I get 42 but I am trying to break my plateau so will try this for a few days to see what happens.

I felt relaxed and in charge of my intake at dinner last night. Instead of the salmon, which comes with rich mashed potatoes etc., I had a fancy salad the probably had too many beans, too much corn and cheese but could have been worse. And I had ONE piece of bread. And one glass of wine.
Today: I feel like I have a big hard baby bump. Stress and depression and menopause and not getting enough sleep are really f***ing with my body. But here's what I had today: Breakfast: Lara bar on the train to work. Lunch: veggie sushi, non-fat yogurt, blueberries. Snack: a few pecans and raisins. Snack at home: blue corn chips Dinner: Grilled chicken from Trader Joe's, plus the GF made eggplant/white beans/tomatoes over pasta and I had a bowl of that. (I would be happier if it hadn't had so many white beans, and if there hadn't been pasta, but what can I say. I don't live alone anymore and I don't get to dictate the menu and I can't resist the smell of food cooking when I'm hungry. Or at least I haven't figured out a way...) I'm beginning to think, I can never control my weight, as long as I live here. Is it possible I can only maintain my weight with external controls? That I really don't have internal controls, and I'm dependent on what's around me, in order to get a grip on my diet? I'm like a reptile that can only control its body temperature by putting itself in warm places—that dependency on the external, for internal change. Okay now I'm comparing myself to a reptile, which is really not a good place to be, so I'm going to get off the computer and end with something positive; that it was nice to log on and see all these positive, happy-cooking, happy-eating, happy-exercising people. Love, IslandScout (you can call me Scout) |

I just don't like olive oil so I use Sunflower, Rice Bran, or my favorite Raw Virgin Coconut oil...yum.

Per my oncologist, for high heat, use sesame oil. My preference for taste is olive oil, but evidently, high heat effects the fatty acids in some unhealthy way.

My work peeps weren't able to go to the gym tonight with me so I went alone.
Wasn't scared or intimidated, just did my process with my headphones on and kept my eyes on the clock. Did 45 minutes of pure cardio with the treadmill, exercise bike, and that rotary arm thing (it looks like a bike but it's for your arms). Had a Subway turkey sandwich on flatbread with lettuce, onion, green pepper, jalapenos, cucumbers, spinach and a little of that sweet onion vinaigrette. Total YUM-ness. P.S. ISLANDSCOUT! I love love love Larabars and had completely forgotten about them until I saw your post! I stopped at the grocery store after Subway and grabbed a sampling of Larabars that I hadn't tried yet. I got coconut cream pie, carrot cake, and banana bread. They all have about 5 WW points but I can eat them on the run for brekkie and such. Great way to change up the food routine!

![]() Broke that "zero barrier" barrier this morning! Work the last two days has been a bit of a killer... And at 7 am this morning, I awoke to a phone call from another recruiter who wants me to go to Minnesota for 3 - 6 months to a client whom I don't particularly care for. I told him thanks, but no thanks...... Enjoying my coffee and some strawberries and then off to the gym (my only pair of gym shorts that fit are in the dryer!) We'll be leaving for Austin in just a few days.... I can hardly wait!! ![]()

Has anyone done Zumba? One of my favorite professors has been doing it 4 times a week with her daughter and they both look fabulous! Just wondering if you have to be super coordinated or if us two left feet folks have a shot?

How do I know all of these amazing secrets? Well good question. I know because... wait for it... I suffered the same malaise. Now for a low low payment... oh wait wrong show.... For the love of your hips and the joy of smiles you should go. Anything that makes me sweat buckets AND smile for 55 minutes... so gets my vote!! Oh and I think it is the main factor for my continued weight loss. Yes, yes I do. ![]()
