HI EVERYONE!
How are we doing? Sticking to our goals? Are we drinking lots of water, parking a little farther away from the grocery store? My goals were to not eat after dinner, and to strech after my workouts. I am following thru on these things so I feel good.
I got some really good IBS friendly food ideas yesterday, thank you for sharing! I made a great stirfry last night for dinner with chicken, well cooked veggies and rice, it was great.
Hope everyone has a god day! Amy

Well, I'm doing ok. I did get in 3 miles on the elliptical this am, but that was all I can do because my ankle is still sore from twisting it over the weekend!
I too, need to work on NOT snacking after dinner. I have reduced my sugar intake by about half and feel pretty good about that!

you are more dedicated than I seem to be right now!! What time do you get up to workout? I just can't seem to get out of bed. Maybe it's the time I go to sleep at night. I'm not doing too bad on my points today but for some reason, my tummy is a little rumbly. I'm trying to ignore it. Do you exercise everyday and for how long? I need to do something before summer! My thighs have gotten heavy.

I don't have to be at work until 10am, so I get up at 6:30-6:45 and do 3-5 miles on my elliptical, plus stretching and a few arm weights. That takes about an hour. I try to do that or go to Curves at least 5 times a week. I usually spend one day on the weekend gardening, cleaning house or woking on my house so I think that counts for a workout too! I do go to bed pretty early, I'm usually in bed by 10 during the week, I NEED a lot of sleep!!
I still can't seem to loose these darn 10lbs that crept back up on me!!! Very FRUSTRATING!! I need to watch my dinner portions and after dinner snacking.

Late night eating and mindless snacking at what kill me. I am very good with portions, mainly because i eat healthy things at meal time (so I can have a good bit). It is the food between meals that keeps me from losing.
But I am on a roll right now, I want to stay losing, it feels so good!!!

Aargh! Don't remind me of Losers. I pigged out on chocolate biccies (sorry, cookies) last night and I never do well with when I'm on night shifts.

Hey Jen... you should be proud. You've lost weight against the odds of your meds! My week is going alright. I'm very very stressed out with school and so that is making me annoyed and frustrated that I have to watch what I eat as well. And forget exercising. When school is over, papers and lectures are done, etc.... then I might be more cheerful about the diet.

Okay.. now that my kitchen is sort of set-up (.. which means the microwave is plugged in!), I definitely want to start trying to lose these last 7lbs that have been really pesky to lose. I'm 132lbs now and 5'2" and I want to try to get down to 125lbs.. and then from there, maybe 120lbs! (small goals!) To be honest, I'm not sure if I'm still 132lbs because I haven't found my scale yet.
So because I'm still recovering from moving (bruises and sore limbs everywhere) and juggling medication for different issues, I'm not going to start exercising until this weekend. I figure May 1st is a good day to start, as its also the day I want to start my hypnotapes!
My goals for tomorrow and Friday will be no soda and not to eat out anywhere since I can cook in my kitchen now. I figure these are small enough goals until I can set new ones next week.

Tell me about it! Mindless snacking is really what gets me too! This whole protein thing has helped with that a little, mostly since I'm not hungry whem I'm struggling to get in the protein. But, if my tummy is feelin' iffy, here come the pretzels! Also with the end of semester stress, it's hard to care about sticking to a diet. So far this week, so good. I've gone to the gym every day, even with all the stuff I have to do.

Way to go Julie....hitting the gym so often in light of school work, that is awesome! I am trying to eat more protien too, but it just does not satisfy me the same way as carbs and bread. Any secret protiens?

ok, I sucked today...well not the whole day! I ate pretty good....toast and banana for breakfast...pb&j,chips and apple for lunch...then some soup and crackers and another banana...(I was freezing,it snowed today It was 80 yesterday and then 35 today) Anyhow!!!! For dinner I had turkey sloppy joes with beans! But the bad part was the 4 chocolate chip cookies I ate! I went nuts with those! I made them for some neighbors the other day and today I went nuts on them! So I'm feeling pretty guilty about that!
Ok...for tomorrow I'll try hard to do better! I have a cold to and thats not helping! I swear I catch every darn bug there is to catch! My son had it and gave it to me!
Ok...looking forward to tomorrow and no guilt!!!!!

I swear by Echinacea and 500mg Vitamin C daily to keep the bugs away. Haven't had a proper cold all winter thanks to this regime and usually I get everything going. I take them cos with my Fibro a cold can make me bedridden for a week! But I guess, you've got a problem that way as well, haven't you?

What is LOSERS? It has been months since I have been able to be on this site. I love the snack list. I can't find a lot of it here in Utah. Have to try the few HFS. I jusst have the worst time with the soy cheese. and giving up my Diet Mt.Dew. I know it is terrible. What about Splenda. My mom and dad are Diabetic, so I have just always gone with Diet soda and careful on sweets and the Splenda. What does anyone think about that. i can't drink my tea without Splenda. Hope everyone has a great day. It snowed here in Utah today, and expecting it again tomorrow. We will see! Happy Day! Thanks for listening all. Having a down day today
