PUMPED!

Good morning all you healthy peeps! It is fabulous to see everyone and their continued success! I'm telling you... awesome motivation to keep this healthy living journey alive!

Things are finally starting to get back into a normal routine for us. Eating out almost every night has STOPPED! We're back to cooking healthier meals at home 5 nights a week. I am back to eating most of my lunches at home, too... not only helps with the calorie intake, but saves me some money, too.

I've also given up one of my nights working at the 2nd job. I decided to forget about the extra money and focus more on my quality of life. So now we have more extra time to cook meals together, work out at the gym/or go for walks at the park and just enjoy eachother's company without always having to be somewhere else.

Meals planned for the day....

Breakfast:
Raisin bran cereal with skim milk
a banana

Lunch & Dinner:
Subway sandwich with lots of veggies that will be 1/2 for lunch and 1/2 for dinner.

Snacks:
Yogurt
apple and/or cutie

I hope everyone has a fabulous day!!!

I am thinking of doing the same thing. I am always exhausted and not exercising enough.

Hugs and have a good day,

Zimmeh

For lunch this week I've been eating my Oikos (fruit on the bottom) NON-FAT yogurt, a banana and apple...And you know what? I can't believe I'm content with just that for lunch!

We eat "healthy" dinners at night and weigh our meats, veggies, etc on a food scale. It's been working out pretty well.

My downfall is snacking later in the evening that consists of things that are on my weight watcher's plan, and I somewhat go over my points with those types of foods/snacks. That's the sucky part, but...

I'm a little excited knowing I weigh in on Saturday morning and wonder if I'll hit my 2 lb. weight loss (crossing fingers) for the week. My plan is to lose 10 lbs. a month, so if I can lose 2 lbs a week, that's fine with me!

I actually fit into a pair of my black jeans today. They're a bit snug, but I am comfortably in them. I NEVER liked tight fitting things ever and always would like to wear loose clothing (even when I was a lot thinner).

I'm hoping i'll be a little more toned and hope my ass looks good in my black jeans. LOL...I have no hips so that's a good thing (for me).

Keep up the good work folks!

Doing great, Scorp!!!

I've been alllllll into my water consumption this go 'round. I noticed the other day that after drinking half a bottle of water, I could not finish one of my meals...........and it was something GOOD too.....something I was totally diggin'!!! But I realized it was because of the water, and that's an okay thing!

So maybe drinking water with your evening snack might help???

Just a thought..

Good luck on your weigh-in!

Fruit can be very filling. Apples are a lot of fiber. I was eating an apple a day but I think they make me gassy and bloaty!!

We eat "healthy" dinners at night and weigh our meats, veggies, etc on a food scale. It's been working out pretty well.

My sister and her husband do that. Her cholesterol went through the roof when she hit 50, even though she was a 5'8" size 8. He really needed to lose weight for his heart, and they both went on Weight Watchers. She is really skinny now (too skinny, IMO), but he looks great. And the good news is, she got her cholesterol down with diet—proving to her doctor, she could avoid Lipitor at least for a while.

I tried to get my partner interested in Weight Watchers (she is very thin, but I thought she would like the healthy focus, not that she doesn't eat healthy already, just more carbs than are good for me personally but work for her). But I couldn't get her on board, too much hassle.Plus she doesn't like to share food shopping (though she is happy to get whatever I put on the list and I'm happy to let her do it), so I am trying to pick and choose from what she cooks (I moved into a situation where she was already cooking for her and her kid and that was NOT going to change LOL and again, I don't care, I hate to cook, I'm just explaining the complications when it comes to what I eat).

My downfall is snacking later in the evening that consists of things that are on my weight watcher's plan, and I somewhat go over my points with those types of foods/snacks. That's the sucky part, but...

There are lots of Weight Watchers snacks in the grocery store, if they work for you...

I'm a little excited knowing I weigh in on Saturday morning and wonder if I'll hit my 2 lb. weight loss (crossing fingers) for the week. My plan is to lose 10 lbs. a month, so if I can lose 2 lbs a week, that's fine with me!

I was surprised to see I've lost 4 pounds since I first reported my weight here, about two weeks ago, so I've gone from 155.5 to 151.5. My goal is 135-140; anything below that, I look too thin in the face and upper body.

I actually fit into a pair of my black jeans today. They're a bit snug, but I am comfortably in them. I NEVER liked tight fitting things ever and always would like to wear loose clothing (even when I was a lot thinner).

I'm hoping i'll be a little more toned and hope my ass looks good in my black jeans. LOL...I have no hips so that's a good thing (for me).

Rock it!

Keep up the good work folks!

Anyway like I said, I've lost four pounds now, down from 155.5 to 151.5, with a goal of 135-140. I'm surprised I'm losing, as I haven't been to the gym all that much, and I'm eating a lot of peanut butter sandwiches (I can't think of anything better for lunch...I have to go along on the food shopping trips and throw some stuff in the cart that works for me...) Plus I've been eating weird dinners, like last night I had all these dark-chocolate espresso beans for dinner that made me nauseous all night, but I'm better this morning.

Good to read, Pinkie... Glad you are looking out for #1 with regard to some time for yourself.
