20 lbs before the wedding or bust...

I definitely need a regular schedule too, lol - but it's hard when I don't have a regular work/life schedule to create a regular exercise schedule. lol. I'm trying to fit it in though for sure!

I definitely recomend eating more at breakfast or having a snack and pushing back lunch. I find it helps quell the 4:30 starvation binge, lol.

Hi Katie!!!

Glad we are both back and on the wagon!! Its been a long time huh??

I still say you should join us oldies over at the other place! I know they'd love to hear from you!
 
Hey!
It looks like you're still doing awsome! Great! lol. I've had a few bad days and need to get my head clear so I can get back on track. I'm starting up a reward system, lol. If I can make it until Thursday - eating healthy food and exercising in SOME way each day - I can buy an Ice Capp at Tim Hortons ;) lol

Keep up the great work!

Well, Friday night I went out to a graduation party... and didn't do SO bad, but not the best. I have no idea on calories. drank mostly light beer (with the exception of a margarita and strawberry daquri) and munched alot

Saturday I got up super early and flew to Chicago for bro's graduation. Breakfast: hashbrowns w/ scrambeled eggs, cheese and some real bacon bits - and portion size was good. Lunch/Dinner: what was thought to be a HUGE meal... but looking back was about 3/4 c. rice, 2 slices of bread, 1 glass red wine, and mongolian beef (or rather, like 1/2 of my portion)... And a few bites of dessert. Not really so bad.

Today:
bkfst: coffee (30,20) + 3 pancakes w/ syrup (325,30)
plane ride back: tomato juice (60,0)
lunch: homemade waldorf-ish salad (190,75) - 1/2 apple, some grapes, celery, light mayo, vinegar, feta cheese, a few peanuts
dinner: contessa sesame chicken (400, 45) + light beer (83,0)
snack/dessert: brownie w/ light ice cream (315, 125)
late night snack: popcorn (250,100)

total cals: 1718, 395

Hey! You and I should be email buddies!! We both seem to be doing OKAY but need that extra Ooomf ;). I had a few bad days and am back to my original start weight - ARGH, Like you I have a hard time sticking with it - And I HAVE to or that wedding dress will not be lookin' too hot on me ;)
If you want give me an email : nicole_m_johnston@yahoo.ca

I am starting this job program that someone posted from RunnersWorld and I'll need an extra kick in the butt to keep up with it ;)

argh! It seems like I do good for almost the entire day and then there is one thing each day that slips me up.

My coworkers and I were having a rough day, so we decided to take advantage of the twofer special across the street at the mexican restaurant.

a) I should have split my margaritas with someone else
b) I should have picked out a set amount of chips, put them on a napkin in front of me, and not gone back for more... [a tip I heard this morning and not yesterday!]

I just have to keep plugging away however. I can't get anywhere if I don't try. And being aware of my calories means that it is only one meal or snack or whatever a day that I'm messing up, instead of all of them. (eek!)

bkfst: cereal (250,30)
snack: veggie sticks - carrots, celery, snap peas (80,10)
lunch: lean cuisine (220, 50) + wheat roll (110,10)
snack: trail mix (242, 128)
dinner: cheddar broccoli rice + chicken + extra broccoli + velveeta (360, 140) + diet peach tea (0,0)

total cals: 1262, 240
exercise: 60 min pilates conditioning tape + 20 min walk to work
h2o: 24 + 24

alright... doing good so far. I have followed my planned out food for the day to a T... =)

I'm not sure what we are having for dinner yet. But it should be fine - we picked up a bunch of rice-a-roni at the store, and with a chicken breast, they never are more than 400 or 500 calories for a total dinner. which is nice - and they are SOOOO easy =)

I just have to keep myself from eating AFTER dinner
 
yay! I did AWESOME yesterday! I even walked to and from work instead of driving - which I think counts as extra exercise =)

today starts my week and a half class, where we go from 9-6/8 each day. And that means eating out for lunch (our course fee includes our lunch and/or dinner meal each day since we will be on the road visiting various places). SO, I have got to figure out how to eat well while eating out.

I really need to eat good snacks throughout the day and just pay attention to what I order - my goals: no fried foods, nothing really really cheesy or greasy.

But that also means, that I probably will have no idea what kind of calories I'm eating on a given day. just when i get something started =(

I'm thinking about taking the morning off from exercising. It's 8:30, its raining, and I have a few errands to run before a lunch meeting at 11:30... hmm...

bkfst: cereal (250,30)
lunch: vegetarian vegetable soup - all veggies (125, 30) + 2 slices whole grain bread (200,35) + 24 oz fruit tea (160, 5)
snack: trail mix (242,128)
dinner: 2 slices papa johns cheese pizza w/ tomatoes (480, 150)

total cals: 1457, 378
h2o: 24 + 24
exercise: -

hey everyone! sorry I haven't been around much lately - this class i'm taking for a week and a half is from like 9am-9pm... and we are eating out alot, so it is hard to figure calories... I have tried to eat sensibly, as much as possible!

As far as exercise.. I got a run in Saturday night and another one in just now. If I can keep up the exercise I'll be fine!

Hey! Sounds like you're pretty busy!! REmember to find some calm down time too ;). Like you said, keep the exercise in, and you should be fine! Hope you're enjoying your class ;)
 
whew... class is done - and it was great! My goal is to work out or run 6 days a week for the next two months... and to try to get more protein in in the morning.... so my honey has some whey protein that I'm going to try to incorporate!

bkfst: milk w/ whey protein (145, 27) + egg (70,40) + bread (65,10)
