OH, and everyone should buy "THe Calorie King." I may have said this before but I am too lazy to read all the way back through everything! IT will fit in your purse and tell you the calorie count of everything at major restaurants! EYE OPENER!

"if you have already tasted / eaten a food before and you indulge in it just to indulge, (ex. lasagna) you are being a glutton - ask yourself why you are allowing yourself to make the wrong choices? you know what it tastes like, there are no surprised in the bag of chips, just fatty calories!" and this is about LONG TERM LIFESTYLE change, not a Diet or a quick fix and changing habits is uncomfortable and takes work. GOOD LUCK THIS WEEKEND - YOU CAN DO IT!

Thanks girls for the motivation!!

Glenda you call me if you need me! I'll talk you out of anything!

I haven't worked out yet today, I was so wiped out this morning I shut my alarm off and fell back asleep!

I'm trying to tell myself to go get on the treadmill, but I have a feeling its not going to happen tonight, but I was moving all day at work today, I've eaten good and I will be up first thing in the morning working out.

Good luck this weekend girls! I'll be checking in throughout the weekend, let me know if anyone needs help!

My workout this morning was killer. The trainer kept me for one and half hours. Ugh! It was great though.

 

I ate a healthy breakfast and lunch.

 

I did get a light frap from Starbucks, but that's the only indulgence all day.

 

For dinner I am making a nice roast with veggies.

 

Here's to a great weekend!

However that being said they have "abuse potential" - however if you cheese carbs that are high in fiber (whole wheat pasta/bread, quinoa, etc.) they will be more filling. Are you counting the calories or points you're eating? Just make sure that you aren't eating too much or too little - either will slow you down. And on a last note here are some of my favorite snacks: - Western Bagel Alternative Bagel w/ 2 Tbsp. low fat cream cheese (2 WW points total) - Laughing Cow light cheese wedges (1 ww point) with baby carrots, bagel above, "light 'n' thin" wasa crackers (3). - Salsa with "Light & Thin" wasa crackers - 3 crackers plus sals is 1 ww point. - dry pint of cherry tomatoes (0.5 WW points) - Progresso vegetarian vegetable soup - low sodium - 3 ww points - asparagus sauteed in cooking spray with salt, pepper and balsamic vinegar (0 pts.) - Sauteed mushroom and garlic with coking spray, salt, pepper, etc. (0 pts.)

Awesome this will help a ton! I am calorie couting and I am in my range that I should be eating and I am also working out. My only problem with snack is (well food in general) is that many things have gluten in them.
I have celiac- if you have no idea what I am talking about LOL I basically cant have gluten... NONE (the protein found in wheat). You would think it would be awesome for a diet that I cant have bread, pasta, crackers, cookies, cakes, and on and on... But it is in many things so am pretty limited to what I can eat especailly snacks. So that why I wanted to get an idea of what everyone else is doing to broaden my horizons so to say. I know pretty much what does and does not have wheat in it so its not that I need suggestions about that, more like healthy suggestions!!

Ok This was WAYYY longer than it really needed to be, maybe I just needed to vent!!!

Also I will be more patient (promise Alyssa) I dont know why I seem to think I am going to drop weight right away!! And promise will try my hardes to to look at the scale.

keep up the hard work ladies remember it will be worth it in the end!

I have officialy declared Friday March 7th as my cheat day. Mcdonalds for lunch and FI and I went out for dinner.....and I got 2 redbull/vodka's - not too much sugar I don't think! I totally missed the "buddy" thread so I'm kinda sad I don't have a buddy but I'm glad you guys post so much under this thread b/c it makes me feel like I have all of you guys as my buddy!! Thanks!

[amandalovesryan]

Betsy, you can be my buddy! Just don't count on me on the weekends! I work 2 twelve hour night shifts so I am not really around. SO, here goes, you can do it! You took today off so get back to work tomorrow! Whenever you try to cheat tomorrow and Sunday, you can read this, it will have to hold you over until Monday! Good luck!

[Betsy]

You guys are the best!! Actually I only work on Sat and Sun so those are the 2 days that I am the best at eating and everything b/c I have to bring my own food unless I want to eat at the hospital Cafe - EWWWWW~~ So the weekend should be good - it's the rest of the week that sucks!! I love you guys seriously! THANKS!

[Betsy]

And how funny - I work 2 12 hour day shifts on the weekend! Too bad it wasn't at the same place!!
