Healthy Weight Loss

[thedivahrrrself]

45 min on the elliptical, and another 30 swimming laps in the pool this morning. I feel great!

I found the thin wheat bread from Pepperidge Farms. It has 110 calories for three slices..which is around 73.3 calories for two pieces and I have a teaspoon of nutella on it. I found the nutella to be easier to digest than peanut butter. I also have a 3oz cup -demitasse cup- that I use to drink coffee out of. I drink two of these through out the day instead of at once.

Good Morning Healthies..

Quite anxious for my next weigh in.. (June 25)
i realized my eating plan has needed a little work..
As weight loss happens, needs change..
And as exercise increases, things change..

So working on getting to know my body's needs again..
my injury is healed and have been running everyday..
Plus Candace helped me with some circuits for toning..

i feel much difference in my body, the way clothes fit & my attitude.
SO happy i am back on track, finallllly !

Off to grocery shop soon!
Mr Mtn made me a grocery list ♥
i'm so grateful for Him!

Found this recipe earlier this week and have been thinking about it ever since. I was going to wait until next weekend to cook it because Gillian has to work this weekend - but I'm thinking at this point.. she'll just have to suck it up.. this is not going to wait until next weekend.

I found a recipe for black bean and sweet potato chili. My coworker made it and it was delicious! I'll post the recipe once I get home today

I was proud of myself tonight... ran late due to a meeting and was very pressed for time in regards to getting Gillian fed before she headed off to work. My first thought was well hell now would be a good time to splurge and get a whopper. Next thought was or even better... hot wings! I ran down a very unhealthy orgy of food choices before I ultimately decided to call her, and ask her get showered before dinner instead of after... this made it so I had time to make roasted cauliflower and nuke a couple of veggie riblets.

Yay!

So now my calories for the day will only be just over 1200.

I believe in rewarding yourself when you hit certain weight milestones. Obviously IMO this should not be with some kind of comfort food splurge. To me that just kinda reinforces the belligerant kid in our heads who thinks this is punishment.

What I do instead is line up things I want to purchase. This time around I've lined up probably 200 dollars worth of kitchen knives / utensils / measuring equipment upgrades. All of them are varying amounts of money - with some only being 5 bucks - so I don't have to wait to hit some huge milestone to reward myself and I won't break the bank either.

I've decided to move away from the black and stainless format of most of my cooking supplies. I've selected multicolored knives, utensils, measuring cups and a checkerboard chopping block as well.

Gonna throw some color into my kitchen, make cutting and serving all this good stuff fun and exciting.

5 - 6 more pounds before I hit my first goal of 10% weight loss.

Now I need to figure out which item to get...

had this tonight and it was good! We did find it a tad bland so next time I will add fresh oregano and rosemary and we also love shrooms so we had more of those than called for.

End result was 6 servings instead of the stated 4 and 256 good for you calories!

This will definitely be added to our menu.

down 20lbs now!! I have perhaps another 20. I have been doing the 17 day diet. Its 3 cycles of 17 days, I am in the last of the 2nd cycle. This has been very very easy. i recomend it!!

Good morning all......
For being away for 10 stress filled and long work days
I feel like I did not do badly...gained 4 lbs back (groaning)...
It was difficult for me to really maintain 500 calories
because of the 12 - 14 hr days and disruption to my
usual schedule. But now I have the pitfalls and will make
adjustments. I do have a new clint soon, so I am not sure if I will
have to be onsite more often than not yet.

I have not yet been back to see the crazy Russian and he hasn't
called yet......
