Cabana's Diary

WOW! Congrats on the loss, Cabana!!! :D Thats wonderful!! You are well on your way to meeting your new goal!! :D Keep up that awesome work and enjoy your Friday :D
 
I finished off last night with 1 small cup of spinich salad and 2 white chedder rice cakes. I got home about 10:30---stepped on my gazelle---and did not feel like putting in 30 mins of exercise. So I didnt.:eek:

Today has been a nice day. Although my foods have been not so good. The sun is out and shinning and signs of spring are here, Now if the wind would go away it would be perfect!:)

I started off my morning delivering 20-dozen of Krispy Kreme Doughnuts to wonderful people who helped me in fundraising for my oldest son. And, I just couldn't ignore those doughnuts (Temptation found me!:p ) So for breakfast I had 2--not one---but 2 glazed doughnuts........mmmmm so good. And for lunch I had a nice big salad with fried zucchini and mushrooms. :p

Told you I blew it for the day! :rolleyes: But today I dont feel so bad about it. I have lost quite a bit of weight this week and this was a good break for me. The rest of the week, I will have to behave.:(

Tonight I will have to exercise no matter how late I get home! No excuses!

YOU ALL HAVE A GREAT WEEKEND! WE'LL SEE YA ON MONDAY!!!!!:p
 
Hope you are enjoying your weekend Cabana :D A break like that ONCE IN A WHILE won't hurt ya - its when your "break" turns into a few days or a week or *gasp* forever that WILL. :D

Have a great SUnday :D
 
Hey there CHikie! Monday came and went and you haven't been in yet. Hope everything is all right!
 
Hi guys!
I kind of got lost last week with the easter holiday and all. I did not get to work out as much as I would have liked to last week. I was in and out of the office being a busy beaver. So, my routine was interrupted a little bit. I ate regular meals, without counting calories. But, I did eat sensible and did not over do it.
AND the new week is here and I am sure to stick to my diet this week! If I can lose 4 more pounds this week, that will put me at 150. (I cant believe it)

I have been enjoying shopping lately & its a wonderful thing to enjoy shopping. Alot of my clothing I can buy mediums now-MEDIUMS-what a feeling. I also bought a pair of those new gouchos that every thin gal is wearing now adays. And they fit sooo good. My husband was even impressed--(and that means alot too me!) But, I have this little thing in my mind that still says "your not thin enough"--and I will not wear this outfit until I'm at 150.
................................So that just means I need to get my rear in gear:D :D I really really really want this! So I am going to be really good this week. Motivation comes in weird ways.
Everyone I see has been so supportive. They just cant believe how much weight I have lost. I saw a friend the other day that I had not seen in a long time and she made the comment, "My gosh, have you like lost TONS of weight?" (I guess I must have been really fat?????) :confused:

Anyway, I'm lovin the new me. And guess what, my back dosn't ache anymore like it used to 25 lbs ago.

I better get out of here for now. I love ya guys--your all so inspiring! I'll try to post all this week! I need to be a good girl...................:p Cabana
 
Now, I know I was supposed to be a good girl, and I was...just not as good as I wanted to be.:eek:
I only made it to the gym on Monday of this week. The rest of the week was a flop for working out. Eating for the week was just "alright." I broke down to eat spanish food yesterday, and this week it was a little bit hard to stay away from those leftover easter cookies. :(

I am going to go out tonight after my P.M. job. I havent been out for quite sometime. I am looking forward to "letting my hair down.":cool:
I have been working so much lately, its gonna be nice to have a time out. Then hopefully I will have time to sleep in, watch movies and be lazy on Saturday-As I have the WHOLE day off!

Does it still count if you are maintaining your diet, and not trying so hard to lose? I think subconsciously I am comfortable where I am right now. But then theres that other part of me that says, just a few more.....just a FEW more.:p
I know the inspiration will hit me again sooner or later, till then--I'll enjoy my already wonderful accomplishment.:)

Well, that's enough rambling for now. You all have a great weekend and stay strong!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!Cabana:p
 
Made it out Friday Night after my PM job. I managed to enjoy two Mich Ultras. I have no idea how many calories those things have. I'll have to do the research. Saturday I did like I wanted. I stayed home all day and cleaned house, watched movies and enjoyed some weekend food with my kids. Eggs and potatoes for breakfast, hotdog for lunch with bbq chips and cake for dinner. I know that this was bad, but it happened.

I think I have gained a couple of pounds from being so laxed last week. And I cant allow that to get out of control. I havent felt this good in a long time-And it really feels good to receive compliments. People notice. And I will not allow all this hard work to go down the drain. Besides, summer is not in full swing yet-and I want to look great this summer!

I guess I'll just see where my motivation leads me this week. I am going to start posting my foods again and counting my calories. And I really need to get as much exercise in as I can. (Regardless of how busy my work schedule is.)
My foods for Sunday were as follows:
Breakfast:
Spinich Salad with cheese, purple onions, flower seeds, pineapple and catalina dressing.
Lunch
1 Medium Chicken Breast
1 Small Tomatoe
Snack
3 Whole Wheat Crackers
Dinner
1/2 Cantaloupe

Todays Breakfast:
1 SB High Protien Cereal Bar (140 cal)
1 4oz. Light n Fit Carb & Sugar Control Dannon Yogart (60 cal)
1 cup coffee w/non dairy creamer

I will continue to post my foods as I attribute this forum to much of my success..................CabanaMama
 
Ok ***************kick************** Get Back On Track Girlfriend Focus!!!!!!!!!!!
 
Back on Track

Thanks, RNW
I needed that...:p ^^^^^

Decided to go grocery shopping during my lunch hour today. I bought some of those large black grapes that I love so much. I hadnt bought them in a while, because I can only find them at this one grocery store, anyway they are so good and they are a life saver when I get the urge to snack. :eek:
I bought a bunch of other fruit, since fruit is my life saver. I am determined to stay on track this week.
I weighed in this AM and the scale was my friend. I thought it would be worse. It only read 1lb off.
But I went to the Doctors Office, and it read 5lbs off. Secretly inside I was like, "UGGGG" But, I know that all scales are different. And as long as I stick to mine, I know I'm doin' alright:p

My foods for the day have been as follows:
Breakfast
1 Weight Control BannanNut Oatmeal-Only 160 Calories

Lunch
1 Can of Progresso Soup Turkey Rotini-only 180 Calories

Snacks
Strawberries To Pick At

Dinner will probably be Grapes and a pear.
I really need to be careful this week. I am having a very stressful week here at work. I dont want to replace that with eating. Luckily, It's that kind of stress when you dont feel like eating- cause your so aggrivated:mad: I guess that will be good in my case.
I'll check in tomorrow...............Till then.........Cabana:p
 
I feel great today. Yesterday I did well without any hunger pangs thru the day.:)
I managed to eat strawberries for my afternoon snack, and for dinner I ate 1 pear, 3 strawberries, and 1/2 cup of grapes. When I got home from my PM job, I ate 2 rice cakes.

I also managed to spend 45 minutes on my gazelle burning at least 245 calories!:D

I am motivated this week. I have alot of events coming up in may-not to mention my anniversary on the 20th---BOY did April fly by. :)

I have already eaten my weight control oatmeal for breakfast. For lunch I am going to eat a south beach breakfast burrito, all american type. Then I will probably eat 1/2 a honey dew to hold me over till dinner. I'm hoping to report some results by next monday. I'll check in later...............................Cabana:p
 
Its Friday!:D

Yesterday my meals went well. This is how my meals turned out::)
Breakfast
1 Weight Control Oatmeal Banana Nut

Lunch
1 South Beach Breakfast Burrito
1 Cup of Grapes

Snack
1/2 Cup Green Spanish Olives

Dinner
1 Pear
2 White Chedder Rice Cakes
1 Handful of Cherry Tomatoes

Today is breakfast as usual. Lunch is to be determined. Anyway-It's Friday. Ya'll have a great weekend...............Cabana :p
 
Well,
All's well here in cabanaville. Things have been going great! Last week I stuck to my good eating habits. And this week is off to a fantastic start as well. I weighed in this AM and I'm down to 151. WoooHoo! Just 1 pound away from meeting my 10lbs goal, and.................wearing that new little outfit that I used to motivate myself! Listen up all---IT CAN BE DONE!

You just have to set your mind to it, and believe that your worth it!

Been busy lately here at work, but maybe tomorrow I will log in my foods. Till next time ya'll!..........Cabana :p
 
Cabana, congrats on being so close to your next goal!! :D You're doing great! Anniversary month is here (boy that was SOOO fast!!) :D Keep up that wonderful work :D
 
I had a coworker come into my office this morning,to tell me that she couldnt believe how great I looked and then she asked me THE QUESTION: "Aren't you afraid that you are going to gain the weight back?":confused:
And thinking about that question, it wasnt hard to answer: "Hell yes!"

But, coming so far has been a life changing experience. I don't want to have to worry about that. I figured,I have learned--and have had-- the necessary tools that I need to succeed at my new life style change. And it's all up to me, to be what I want to be.

It amazes me more so to comprehend, that I could this. I had it in me all the time. I just didn't push myself to it.

So, yes I am afraid that I might gain the weight back, but I will do everything in my control to see that I don't. Plain n Simple. I've learned that there is nothing wrong, concited or selfish about loving yourself. And right now at this point in time,
I can say I am very content with myself--because I have been successful!:p
 
Hi All,
Well, my anniversary has come and gone.......I did enjoy my mini-vacation get- away. Our hotel was very elegant, the weather was wonderful and I still opted to wear my one piece bathing suit to enjoy the hot tub. The only difference now is that, I wasnt ashamed of my body. I didnt try to hide it with a pair of swimming trunks over my suit(and a t-shirt), OR I didnt sit in the tub till I was pruned, just because I could not stand the thought of everyone seeing me getting out. It was really a big step for me!:)

On the weightloss side......I am tetering between 150 and 155. I'm so erked because I didn't ever get under 150. I wanted that soooo bad!

But I am back! And with a new goal! And a new mind set!

My husband and I are traveling to L.A. in July. We will be there for 5-days. So, I have the rest of May and the month of June to get my REAR in gear and get under 150.
My new goal will be to lose 5 to 10lbs by June 9th!​

Theres just something to be said about getting under 150 for me. I just have to.
I went grocery shopping yesterday. I am starting to see more and more weight watcher items on the shelves. I am not doing weight watchers, but they have some really good snacks that I think will be beneficial to everyone watching their weight. This A.M. for breakfast I ate a WW Carrot cake with a cup of coffee-only 80 calories for the snack cake. AND SO YUMMY!

Well, I guess thats enough for today. Im going to cruise the other stickys....HMMMM.....maybe I'll join one of those challange thingys to keep me motivate................Cabana :p
 
Hi Guys!
HAPPY FRIDAY!:p
Wow, this week flew by sooo fast. I am SO focused on droping these last few pounds to reach my new goal.
This week I have stuck with a basic diet. LOTS of salads and fruit.
I havent managed to get much exercise in and I know that it really helps me to burn those calories.

I did exercise a little yesterday. I walked a mile around the track. Then on Tuesday, I did thirty minutes on the gazelle(about 215 calories)

This weekend is going to be a tough one. I hope I can stay strong. It is officially BBQ season, AND I ENJOY A GOOD BBQ.

So, I will try to stay out of the potatoe salad, and chips n dips. I hope I can be strong.

Good news is-------This week I have droped down to 152. So, if I keep this up I will be under 150 in a couple of days or so!
That's, so awsome....:) (and thats why its so important to stay away from those fatty foods) (even though they are so good!!!!):rolleyes:

Well all, enjoy your holiday weekend. No work on Monday! WHO HOOO! Take Care................Cabana :p
 
Cabana, you are SMOKIN'!!! :D You will be at your goal by THE date! :D I just know it!! :D Suck up the water at BBQ's and maybe eat an apple or two before any of those events :D You may just find you're full enough between the two that you don't have any room for the bad-for-you stuff :D
