Get Ready to Start: Preparing for a New Journey

[Christ Follower]

Okay, I just got back from another 2 mile walk today. However, we are having pizza tonight for dinner.

I had A LOT of pizza last night. I will have to be on my best behavior today when it comes to eating. I didn't even make coffee this morning so I wouldn't have the extra sugar. I had a bowl of cereal today so far. If I get hungry before lunch I will force myself to eat carrots or an apple.

The walk will help cancel out the pizza, good move!

You are funny, do you use cream in your coffee?

2% milk and LOTS of sugar (organic sugar, but sugar nonetheless)

Did another 2 mile walk today. Unfortunately it looks like I'll be having fast food for dinner again. I have no food in the house and we have to be somewhere soon. It'll be better once I go grocery shopping.

Yep. I ate taco bell for dinner and had cake AND ice cream for dessert at the party. Looks like I have more exercising to do tomorrow. Everytime I start to get ahead, I sabotage myself! :cry:

1st Month relinquishment - hate this!My team was $750 shy of $4000 in December (my catalog/web sales was $2200! Yea me...) *sigh*. With my not being able to drive, I'm not sure how we'll do in January. I hope we make it though.. I'm hoping to recruit at least 3 (wanting to buy my family the wii at Best buy! lol. My thank you for supporting my business), so if I do, hopefully I won't have to count on myself to do more than half of it. I'm seriously considering the waiver if we can't get it together. I can't drive until at least some time in March!

I do have a live show that I will schedule today ~ I'm having a Stampin Up show today (love their stuff ~ they really got the "home business/party plan" stamp set right this time! ~ let me know if you want to peek. lol. It's on p. 153, called Taking Care of Business. One of my guests is a Premiere Design jewelry rep. an she's attending).

By the way - I am soooo excited about my party - I put "by the way, stones are 20% off" on all my invites. I have used mini-muffin pan to make cornbread muffins, and square stone to make symphony brownies (YUM). so excited!

I use 1/2 and 1/2, but I gave up sugar years ago. I decided I could have one or the other.

Today I had coffee for breakfast, a handful of Cheetos and a small bowl of Mac n cheese for lunch, a banana for snack and coffee for dinner. I should eat something else but I really don't feel up to it.

 

[chef_kimmo]

Keep working on it - you are doing good. At least you have started and have a vision.

 

[chefkathy]

Susan,Could you offer your hostesses to have their shows at YOUR home? That way you wouldn't have to drive. Just an idea....

 

[ddbritt]

what would you ladies recommend for a good healthy breakfast.?

what would you ladies recommend for a good healthy breakfast.?

1 egg, 1 slice of whole wheat toast and a piece of fruit. In the most important meal of the day you would have your protein, whole grain and fruit serving.


I have been eating Kashi Go Lean Crunch cereal (but you need to stick to the right serving size) and a piece of fruit lately.

Okay so it's not even noon here and I did my 2 mile walk today. I had TWO bowls of cereal for breakfast though (see? that's what happens when you don't eat dinner!)

 

[missydivine]

You had a great week! 3lbs! Woo Hoo!!!!!

Yes you need to eat all your meals!

That's not quite for sure yet. I will be checking again in the next couple of days after I've been eating regular meals. Thanks though!

I had 3 Tempura Crunch Vegetable Rolls today for lunch. (I withheld from eating all 6). Just the 3 have 12 grams of fat and 210 calories. I ate a few pretzels and a Choc chip granola bar for snack. Still not sure what to make for dinner yet but whatever I make I will have a salad before so I will eat less of the dinner.

whats the journal? I haven't been on this portion of the sight in a long time.....

Okay, oatmeal and coffee for breakfast, homemade taco salad for lunch, granola bar for snack.

I did my 2 mile walk today again too. Hopefully I can keep it together for dinner.

 

[missydivine]

Woo Hoo! I went out for lunch with a friend, and have no idea what we will have for dinner.

Okay so I just got back from another 2 mile walk. I had a good breakfast too. I do really good till mid-afternoon and evening usually so I am hoping that today will be different. At least I have been able to walk everyday this week. I may even try to do some more later on. Gotta play with Isaac now though!

Ellen since you live on the same sdide of the country that I do. Safeway has a new product out called eating right. And it's all low fat, low cal, Tast raelly good too. I have been buying it for the past little while. And I eat a breakfast bar in the morning, and Drink my water and eat a salad for lunch with light dressing. ( I think salad dressing and any other condoments should be their own food groups.) I eat small snack like a peice of fruit or something and a good healthy dinner. I dont' cook any differnt for myself than I do for my family. So we are all eating the right things. YOU CAN DO IT!!

Well the snacking has already begun. I was hungry after my walk and ate 2 Tempura Crunch Vegetable Rolls and a bunch of baby carrots. I think I may have a granola bar too. I am trying to not have anything else till lunch time though. Soon, very soon. I think I will have either a bowl of soup or some salad for lunch (or a small portion of both).

I have actually seen that product before. I am big on reading labels. Sometimes it seems okay and is not. I will start checking that one out and comparing it to other things.

I stay away from any high fructose corn syrups and partially hydrogentated oils too. There are a bunch of other things I aviod but would never be able to spell them! LOL! I do okay except I have a hard time (lately) with too much snacking and portion control. I used to be really good at it (last year) but this year I've totally slacked.

Let's keep on trying though!

I am big on reading lables too, my Dh has ADHD and as a child he went on a specilized diet so he didnt have to be put on any meds. And what the doc and his parents found out is that anything with articifial flavoring such as Red #40 etc sets it off. SO it takes me like a hour and half to go shopping. It drives people nuts.

That is a big thing for our DD too. As soon as I changed her diet (no dyes, no processed foods) it was like she was totally different. Made all the teachers and family member's jaw drop b/c she changed w/o any use of drugs. Just diet change, consistant discipline and lots of prayer.

Once again I have sabotaged myself with a Grande Caramel Latte from Starbucks today. At least I have been walking everyday this week though. Still, I want to lose weight, not just break even!
