I didn't mean to make her feel bad but i know it probably did. :( I will respond to posts later. I am off to yoga. |
Lisa, that's great about your recipe adaptions. I haven't kept up with our group well lately. Do you work night shift?
Jenn, Naturally More peanut butter has just two grams sat fat and only 3 net carbs per two tablespoon serving (7g total carbs less 4g fiber) and 9g protein so it's not as fattening for me as many other peanut butters. Nonetheless, I eat only 1/2 a serving because 3 net carbs is almost an eighth of my daily carb allowance--too much for me only two tablespoon of foods. I will not be using it as a metabolism booster. Some say peanuts are not good for boosting metabolism and that walnuts beat out almonds. I've always read, too, that your body has to work harder to warm up the cold water. What is the reasoning behind warm water being better for your system than cold? There's always two sides to every story. No foods or methods are perfect. We just do the best we can with the info we have at the time. :) Your chores burned a lot of calories. Congrats on that. Tori, sorry you didn't hit any goals this week. It certainly does take a lot of concentration and work, doesn't it? You know you let yourself open for Mike's comments, don't you? You know he'll suggest your head was somewhere "where the sun don't shine." :p Hope you have a great weekend and come back Monday ready to work on your goals. Donna, great job this week. I am in awe of your level of accountability! Hope, again your menu sounds so healthful and delicious! What are you writing right now? Well done on your goals! My granddaughter and her BF speak to each other in Spanish often. They each took four years of it in high school and are taking it in college as well in an aim to be considered fluently bi-lingual. GD said her first day of Spanish class in college, one student remarked to the teacher that he spent the entire class having students repeat words in Spanish but never said what any of them meant. He said the lack of translation was an oversight as he was assessing proper pronunciation and accenting the correct syllables. LOL I was going to cardio class but accepted an appointment with a contractor who is going to do some kitchen repairs, insulation, and painting for us. So I'll do my aerobic walking DVD today. |

I DID something good today (I sent a friend in California my P90X DVDs). I guess I need to start working on something good. Can't think of anything (I ordered some stuff to lower the bike for a better race stance but I don't guess that counts)

Just could not sleep last night, and woke up an hour before I needed to. 4. Force fluids. Yes, Fair, Yes, Yes 5. Log everything and post daily. Yes, Yes, Yes, Yes 6. Eat clean. Except for cough drops, I guess..., Ditto, Everything except cough drops and Goldfish crackers, The English muffins today and yesterday were processed; other than that, clean as a whistle Earlier this evening we had our son's NHS induction, so I am a proud mama for sure. Plus I passed on the cake at the reception afterward :D. Stuck to my posted plan, too. But now I am soooo tired. I can't remember the last time I hit the hay this early, but it's about to happen. Check you all tomorrow. I hope you all have had a wonderful day :).

1. take prescribed meds on schedule twice a day
check! yes. yes (i'm doing great!) 2. get back into the habit of logging my food every day yes. yes. yes, even the bad stuff 3. stop eating cheez-its and bagels! yes. ate junk today. i had a few bbq chips (less than 1 oz) i didn't do well today at all. well, i stayed under my total calories burned, so at least i'm not in the "gain" column, but i'm def. far from the "burn" side. i'm a really good cook. good for my family, bad for me. tonight's chicken enchilada casserole was so flippin' good that i had 2 pieces. :( i allowed myself in my plan for the day to indulge in 1 piece of pumpkin cake, but i had 2 (one during my middle of the night feeding frenzy, which i wish i would stop doing). i also had an extra 1/2 tuna sammie on a bagel thin. i'm not too upset about that, but if i didn't have those 3 things i would have been even below my target with my calories to be in the burn column. here's what i have planned for today so far: - 1/4 C oatmeal with 2 tsp unpacked brown sugar, 1 tsp Stevia, 1/2 C milk and 1 Tbsp raisins. - 1/4 C tuna/mayo/relish on a toasted bagel thin - 1 piece leftover chicken enchilada casserole with 2 Tbsp lite sour cream - snacks...popcorn, orange, grapes wow, that looks like a painfully short list. i'm sad just looking at it. i will do my best to stay on track and get through the day without binging on anything. have a wonderful day! lisa

GREEN TEA SPICY FOODS ALMONDS WALNUTS NATURAL YOGURT EGGS TURKEY, CHICKEN BREAST, LEAN PORK AND BEEF (body must work harder to digest those proteins) PEANUT BUTTER (now that seems to be controversial) EXTRA VIRGIN OLIVE OIL, BUT BETTER TO MIX WITH COCONUT OIL VERY COLD WATER VEGETABLES--LOW CARB, HIGH FIBER ONES FLAXMEAL SALMON, COD, AND OTHER WILD CAUGHT FISH. (But tuna is controversial)

Quick check in....I've hit NONE of my goals this week. My head hasn't been in it. Maybe next week????
High fives to all y'all doing well!! |
Mern, I didn't even think of burning calories while doing chores. I was just glad that I got a lot done. Shows that maybe my head is the same place you said Mike would think Tori's is.
