So, I started just ordering al a carte... 2 chicken fajita tacos with lettuce & tomato OR 2 crunchy beef tacos with lettuce & tomato. If you miss eating chips & salsa, get an order of corn tortillas and tear 'em apart & dip in the salsa... it's a lot healthier of an option. |
Hi Healthies! *waves*
Just got home from the Gym.... Last night a friend and i went to the Gym, and i did 25 mins on the elliptical (beating my 20 mins the last time) and then got on the treadmill and ran for 15 mins, and walked for 10 mins... This morning, we went back to the Gym.. We did our weights, 3 sets of 15 for arms and legs, and the hips machine (LOVED that thing, first time i used them...wheee, i was pushing 90 lbs on both of them...) After we did the weights, we did the 15 mins on the stationary bike, and then i did 15 mins on the elliptical while we were waiting for the class to start.. Then, at 10:35 , i did a class called Body Flow which is a mixture of yoga, pilates, tai chi & relaxation & meditation at the end... Wow, i stretched muscles i didn't know i had, and am quite amazed at how flexible my legs are, lol! loved it though, was my first time trying it, and anxious to go back! ~~~ Yesterday i went shopping and a store that will be closing down soon had some things marked down and i managed to buy 5 new exercise DVD's, pretty happy with that. i got : 1/ Pilates for Everybody 2/ Pilates Intermediate 3/ The firm - Total body makeover (cardio & weight training & Pilates) 4/ Total Cardio Kick Workout - i've discovered i LOVE kickboxing! 5/ Kathy Smith Cardio Fat Burner - has two 20 min workouts and a bonus stretch workout 6/ Stephanie Huckabee's Power Fit - it has five 20 min workouts targetting specific areas of the body on different days to maximize toning. (day one, legs & shoulders, day two - cardio, day three - chest, triceps & butt, day four - back, biceps & thighs & day five - core fusion) Just something to change it up sometimes, i love that i have more options for days i cant get to the gym now, and have to do something between work shifts.. YAY! Gotta go get ready for my Dietician appt at 2pm today, then i work 4-7! Have a lovely day Healthies ♥ |
Oh & today is weigh in day for me..
Last week, at weigh in, i didn't lose even one lb over a 2 week period.. (i didn't gain either, which is a win in my book!) But so hoping even for a 1 lb loss, i have been working my butt off !! Just anything to say i am back on track to losing lol.. i have been feeling stuck after reaching 82 lbs lost, and i have much more to go.. think i just needed to step it up some exercisewise (which ive done this week) and really be careful ...they said it would get a little harder once i got to around 220 or 210 perhaps, so maybe that's what's going on with me.. i'm not giving up though, no way! Last weigh in was 233 lbs.. So wish me luck pleasse! :dance2: |
((((((sylvie)))))))))
Look at you sister with those killer workouts you've got going on! I am guessing I need to bump up my regime ;) Good deal on finding some videos to do at home, too. I am always on eBay and Amazon trying to find good prices on them, too. I got my bellydancing one for like $5... shipping was like $1.99. I actually just bought the Biggest Loser Powerwalk one this morning... with shipping like $7.50. Not too bad! GOOD LUCK today with the Dietician... and I am pretty confident that you are gonna pull off a loss! Hope you have a great day!! |
WW weigh-in yesterday! Down 1.4 pounds.
Weighed in at 284! |
Getting on the wagon one more time..

I have been thinking I will do WW. What made you decide to use them as your vehicle to healthy weight loss? |
Quote:
I chose WW because there aren't any special diets or tricks. Nothing is off limits, but having a daily point allowance lets you make heathier choices of what you should or shouldn't eat. You can figure out ww points on every single item with a nutritional label on the back. When you sign up, they give you a target point range, with an extra weekly allowance. As you start losing weight, your target points range will start to decline. It's super easy to use, too! Thousands of great recipes, eating out cheat sheets (so you can figure things out before you go out), workout tips and community blogs. They have TONS of restaurants listed as well. If they aren't listed, all you have to do is google "ww points in *insert restaurant here*" and you'll find other websites that do have the calculations. The monthly online rate is $17.95... which to me is not too bad. They also have the local meetings that you can do instead (I'm not too sure on the price range of this). Or a combination of the two.... it's up to you. |

Weighed in for the first time in 2 weeks. I went on vacation and haven't been moving my bootie, but I lost 1lb!! ( I was totally expecting a gain!)
Also, I am no longer a member of the 200lb club, again! This time, I have officially not renewed my membership. 11lbs gone since Jan 1st. Here's to a good week of tracking, moving my bootie and healthy choices! :) |
starting my day with a cup of soup and some coffee...
Used to start it off with a salad and I'm seriously considering going back to that routine. More satisfying and kept me going longer. Happy Monday! |

I have been doing the WW program online since last April and only recently started attending meetings. I HEART the program (and I hestitate even calling it that because I don't really feel like I'm doing anything program-like). I decided on WW because I have done every fad diet there is. And I do mean EVERY fad diet. I have tried pills, tapes, hypnosis, motivational seminars, pretty much everythign short of having surgery and I wasn't able to lose weight with anything. In all honesty, something clicked in my brain when I had my mini-stroke (LITERALLY!) I knew from that point on that I could either continue to ignore my health and treat my body as if it was a house I could move out of or I could get in touch with my body and take control of my health. We only get one suit to wear on this earth and I was treating mine like shit. I had to get to the root of the "WHY" to make any real progress. I have now lost 50 pounds. It's taken about 9 months. I've had hiccups along the way and a few bumps in the road but I am more in touch with my body and eating habits than I have ever been. WW let's me eat pretty much anything I want. Unlike a diet like, say, Atkin's, I am not limited in what I can eat and don't have to forego entire groups of food. I have pizza every now and then. I had a hamburger with bun this weekend. I eat a piece of chocolate if I'm craving it. I don't feel deprived AT ALL and that has been a huge reason why I have been able to stick with the plan for this long! Glad to see you on board girlie! |
Wanted to share my "chocolate" shake recipe!
I am a smoothie freak and love a smoothie for breakfast in the morning but this one can serve as a nice after dinner dessert! Angie's "chocolate" shake/smoothie: 1/2 cup chocolate almond milk 1 entire banana a bunch of ice 1/2 cup Dannon Light and Fit Fat Free Yogurt (Vanilla) 2 tbs of carob powder (It's only about 40 calories per tbs!) This entire smoothie is only 5 WW points! |
Can you substitute chocolate soymilk and vanilla Greek yogurt in place of the almond milk and regular fat free yogurt?
I am wanting to try this and thank you :) Zimmeh Quote:
