Hi all, I weighed in this morning. It took 6 days but I'm down 3 lbs. I've been working to much and haven't even started to exercise yet. Bought a calorie counter book to keep me on track. I did go canoeing on Sun. That was fun and quite a work-out on my arms. That's the only thing I've done this week that resembles exercise. I'm hoping to get into some kind of daily routine. Walking should be good now that it's starting to cool down and more importantly the bitting buck flies are gone. They're so bad sometimes I can't even go outside.Maybe I should walk with a chicken in a strap on baby carrier to eat the flies trying to bite me. My neighbors will really know I've finally lost it.

mom'sfolly :

I don't like regular iced tea, as a former tea drinker it's like I left my cup too long and then took a swig...yeech!! That big herbal punch of strong mint tea makes my mouth happy....yummm.

Another good tea to try is Stash's Chair tea in Black or Green. Tastes great unsweetened and has a terrific flavor.

I must've overdid it yesterday because my back is aching today. Still did my stretching but I guess this is a non-aerobic day for me.​

I think I did quite well. I feel lighter today, and I feel that my thighs are slightly thinner (YEA!). Sometimes it's not so much what you weigh, but how you feel. Since my scale is still packed, I'll just have to go with how I feel at the moment.

So far today I've had half a cup of coffee (still working on it). How's everyone else? You all seem to be doing a great job so far!!!

Chicken broth, that is what I have been eating and water.

I have been so sick.

Today I can move around a bit more not not feel sick to my stomach.

Breakfast this morning one Saltine Cracker and some water (room tempurature)

Here's another helpful tip from slim-fast.com

Liquid Calories

Hidden Calories
Even though soda is fat-free, it's not calorie-free. A 12-ounce can of regular soda, on average, contains 9 to 10 teaspoons of sugar. On top of that, they are "empty" calories.

Alternatives to soda include flavored seltzers, diet sodas, herbal teas and calorie-free powders you can mix with water. If you are turned off by an aftertaste that diet drinks have, try the new ones with lemon or lime or try drinking more flavored water.

wooden_pony,

I hope you feel better soon!

Thanks eggcetra_farms, feeling a bit better tonight. Had some chicken soup, yummm.

 

[mom'sfolly]

I drink alot of flavored soda water/selzer. I really only drink water and coffee, sometimes juice or herbal tea.

Todays food is one word: pizza, and boy did it taste good.

Excercise was 30 min. on the eliptical trainer. I always walk up to the school to pick up the boys, most days I do the 15 minute round trip at least once.

Tomorrow my kids basketball games are late so I'm going to the farmer's market. I want some ham, bacon and veggies. There is a local grower of berkshire pork that makes the best ham, I fry it like bacon and it's fantastic. Goes great with the girls' eggs.

Thanks for the encouragement, mom'sfolly!

Glad you feel better, wooden_pony!

My toe isn't broken, THANK THE LORD! I didn't get to exercise yesterday because it was my long day at work, which pretty much tires me out to much to do anything else anyway. I'm lucky if I get to eat any dinner and watch a little tv without falling asleep.

And yesterday was MEGA-tempting ... I've been under an incredible amount of stress with this stupid divorce, my soon-to-be-ex is trying to make me out to be a child abuser of the worst kind ... sigh. (Which if you knew the situation, you'd know is ridiculous, but I don't want to go into any details.) The effects of all these lies and manipulation on my daughter are the most distressing, though.

And with all that stress, I was there surrounded by lots of food. We're a health-food store, but there are LOTS of goodies there that, while they are not technically BAD for you (they are organic, fresh, and made with good stuff), they certainly aren't calorie-free either. Ingredients like nuts, honey, dark chocolate, cheese, dried fruits, fresh milk/eggs/butter, and so on ...

Still ... I didn't eat any of it. I almost did, but I didn't.

Yesterday I had a lean pocket (about 200 cal?), 3 cups of tea (I'm really gonna have to cut down but that's my weakness too), lots of water, a little leftover grilled chicken with peppers and onions and rice, and a couple of ounces of leftover beef soup with rice. I can't really count the calories easily in it, but I'm sure it wasn't much. The meat was probably 4 oz total and mostly grilled chicken. Oh, and a little teriyaki sauce drizzled over the rice with chicken.

Today I am in a better frame of mind, and really missing my exercise. Fri - Sun is the hardest time to fit it in, and I of course lost Thurs due to hurting my toe. I am surprised to find I am actually looking forward to it.

Oh, and I was excited to notice a TINY BIT of a difference in my thigh muscles this morning. I didn't think I'd actually SEE anything so soon!

Ugh ... on a worse note, I bought the scales yesterday. And weighed myself. I'm glad to see that I weigh a pound a half less this morning that I did last night with clothing, but still ...

I've gained 20 POUNDS since my last scale quit working a few years ago. That's worse than I thought.

Oh well, at least now I know what's what ...

Overall I'm feeling encouraged about things!
