I had a long talk with my vet prior to my last purchase to make sure it is something I wanted to continue due to the above. What do you reccommend instead? Do you have a site to share for natural products for fleas, ticks, etc? We have a lot of lyme in the area which is what made me decide to continue with the treatment. |

Well hello healthy folks & happy Tuesday! I hope that everyone enjoyed a nice, long weekend and are ready to kick this weeks butt!
We spent the weekend at the lake, where it rained the whole time. Needless to say, we were cooped up indoors much of the time watching movies and honestly just relaxing. We did manage to eat home cooked meals for 90% of the time. I made breakfast tacos with a mixture of egg & egg whites, turkey bacon & WW cheese. We grilled steaks & chicken.... and made baked potatos. We did go out to eat one night.... where I ordered the house special Chicken Fried Steak. Yeah, I know bad, but I did order the small portion with gravy on the side. I only ate about 1/2 of the SMALL poriton because I filled up on the salad bar, first. I know that I snacked throughout the day, and probably drank more than I should have. I did not weigh after this weekend... because I KNOW that I didn't get enough water intake so my number always shows higher after the weekend. Today, my focus is strong and I'm back on track. We plan on hitting the gym tonight, too. I'm gonna kick my own ass! Eliptical and then I'm gonna try out the stationary bike. Meals planned for the day... Breakfast: Raisin bran cereal with skim milk a banana 1 cup coffee with fat free vanilla creamer Lunch: 2 turkey hot dogs on wheat buns an apple Snack: yogurt with granola WW string cheese or some fruit Dinner (with cooler temps, we are firing up the bbq pit) : grilled chicken grilled asparagus & corn on the cob garden salad |

Breakfast: a big ol' Diet Coke from the convience store 2 fried steak, egg & cheese taquito things (yeah, from the healthy convience store deli) Snack: Diet Coke refill Reese's peanut butter cups Lunch: Taco Bell taco salad (yeah, I tried to trick myself that crap was healthy @ almost 780 calories with that fried shell) more Diet Coke Dinner: Pasta with some rich cream sauce ceaser salad garlic bread and a bottle of wine After dinner, we would eat ice cream, too! No wonder I always felt like crap! I was always tired, too! |

hi all ,
finally did my weigh in today, and to my amazement, i knocked off some more lbs, and am sooo sooo thrilled, because i hit the 40 lbs gone forever mark!! i have never been more proud of myself than i am today - when she told me it was 40 lbs i cried my face off, i just feel so wonderful for it.. i'm sooo on my way.. ups & downs, but i'm doing it! & soo happy to read up in here and see how well you are all doing, once again thank you for tips, constant encouragement & sharing all the time.. You all ROCK.. ♥♥♥ |
So, I joined Gold's Gym and as a treat to myself I got a trainer for 6 weeks. In my first week I have managed to do 5 days of Cardio and a ab workout (X2) from HELL!!! Loved it! My cardio workout consisted of 2 days of the treadmill for 45 minutes each and I threw Jacobs ladder in there for 10 on one of those days. So far I have tried the Sh'bam class, didn't care for it as much as Zumba. Zumba ROCKS! The third cardio class is called Body Jam HOLY HECK! Loved this class as much as Zumba. So there it is... There are a couple of other classes I want to try such as the Gentle yoga and the swim fitness class. All in due time. Tomorrow we will do a brief rundown of the ab routine then we will be moving on to the rest of the body.
Also here is what she has said about eating...I get up really early some days, trust me this is not by choice as sleep is often elusive for me, even when I am dog butt tired... SNACK Fruit/nuts BREAKFAST Carbs & Protein SNACK Fruit/nuts/veggie LUNCH Carbs & Protein This is when you should cut all carbs out. SNACK Fruit/nuts DINNER Protein & Veggies Also this week we are going to discuss supplements. Right now we are not counting calories just looking at what I eat. Keep up the great work everyone! |
I slid over to the scale this morning and did a stealthy sneak peak and saw that I'm down to 291.
My second mini-goal of 289 is just over the horizon. I am WAY excited! |
I was away last week and was worried about not getting enough activity. Well that should not have been my worry. I was at a retreat and I chose a "path" that was ALL body movement. We mixed Kundalini Yoga with improv dance... what a freakin' blast for three hours a day!! And I was surrounded by BEAUTIFUL old growth forests so every chance I got (so like daily) I was hiking. I think I lost weight. But I won't know till my weigh in later this week.
Sometimes things just work out right. Yesterday I was supposed to be booked, but my patient cancelled. So I went to my rush class, which is like interval training. Now I just want to bitch and get this out. I HATE, fucking HATE jumping up and down. Why... cause I have double D girls that hop all over the place. Why on the Goddesses green fucking earth do you want me to flop all over??? So, I don't. One of the nice things about being the biggest in the class (and pretty well the oldest) is that if I quit doing something the young little teachers never ever get after me. Ahhh the perks of being overweight and older :superfunny: But that is not what I was writing about... on those rare Tuesdays I have an evening free I like to do my Rush class, leave 10 minutes early, head down to the river valley to another gym and do a super duper yoga class. I felt sooooooooo good last night. And then I blew it and ate a hunk of white chocolate... and then my body reacted STRONGLY to the sugar. Okay body I get it... :olive: So another day. Another challenge. Going to the gym tonite for my weight class and if my ex stands me up for coffee (my spidy sense says she will) I may just luxuriate in another yoga class at 7:30. :praying: And then hit the couch and die!! :canadian: |
Got in 51 minutes of cardio this morning...37 of it jogging. I've done the walk/jog thing for 6 of the last 7 days, and I'm 3 days into my 30-day challenge.
I've never completed one of these challenges yet, so I fear I'll fail again. :( I just have to get one of these under my belt. I did a sneak peak on my weight too, and it hasn't changed. I hope Friday tells a different tale. |
I have done great with juicing, eating raw and healthy. Today I need some meat. It's just so over powering. I could never go 100% raw. It would kill me. So I am making curried lamb for Wanton Boi and going to have some. I'm going to chop a BUNCH of herbs and lettuce with a light cucumber sauce.
I'm not sure if I should feel defeated for lacking discipline or accept that I just fucking love good food. That the explosion on my tongue is as good as an orgasm. I watch shows like Top Chef and others with anticipation and fantasy. Is it an addiction to food or epicurus indulgence?

I don't think it's the "good" food that's made any of us too heavy...I know it isn't for me. I can eat delicious meals and, as long as I don't bury things in cream sauce and butter regularly, that was never my problem. What made me gain weight was quantity...and the crappy food I ate...donuts, chips, candy, sodas. I fully intend to keep eating filet mignon, and fresh steamed asparagus with a little butter, and baked potato (although I've discovered plain greek yogurt is a fabulous replacement for sour cream) ...and I will probably periodically go out to eat my favorite mexican food....or bake a batch of cookies. What I'm not doing anymore is eating fast food, drinking soda, eating potato chips, deep fried stuff, etc. But, let's face it, that was never the really "good" stuff anyway! :winky: |

My weight came on post-T, and I'm not one of those who claim that T made me eat more. I call bullshit on that anyway. For me, I gave up my career and moved to the other side of the country. With more time on my hands and stressors I was not prepared for, I decided to "add happiness" in the form of donuts for breakfast, ice cream on top of brownies (frequently), big subway-style sandwiches for lunch, and LOTS of eating out on the weekends. I treated myself to that kind of crap before, but it was only from time to time because I was at work for 10 hours and sleeping for 9. When you give up a lifestyle like that, you have lots of time to discover new crap.......that tastes damn good!! |
I'm on a good pace of 2.4 lbs per week. 12 to go to hit one goal.

Good Afternoon Everyone,
I finally hopped on the scale this morning. I weighed in at 168lbs with some of that being water weight from mother nature. I'm still watching everything I eat and I'm having oatmeal squares cereal as a snack. After my 401K meeting, I had a small amount of tuna, shredded mild cheddar cheese, a dash of basil, a dash of ground black pepper and half of a teaspoon of kraft olive oil mayo on a bed of baby spinach and a cup of sugar free peaches for lunch. Have a great day, Zimmy |

Well hey there y'all :)
Man, we have had some awesome updates today. Y'all are rocking along... keep up the great work! This awesome group here continues to motivate me to keep on going... we can do this, YES WE CAN! Well, last night's grilled dinner didn't happen. Instead, I came home from work to find my honey cooking up a big pot of taco soup. She even made the healthier modifications... and it was AWESOME! I had a big ol' bowl for dinner along with a garden salad and one for lunch today! Here is her recipe that she used: Browned ground turkey with onion add to the pot a can of each... Low sodium stewed tomatos No salt added corn Ranch style beans Kidney beans 1/2 - 1 packet of low sodium taco seasoning (depending on how spicy you like it) 1/2 packet of Hidden Valley Ranch and a couple cans of water Simmer for about 45 minutes.... VOILA! Let me tell you, it's even better the next day after all the seasonings soak in! Mmmmm! I can't tell y'all how excited I am for all the positive changes that are happening with so many of y'all. THANK YOU for sharing this journey with us!!! Tonight, gym time it is! I've downloaded some booty shakin' music to keep me going... IT'S ON :) Tomorrow is my weigh in day. We shall see! |
