Miss Ladybugs Diary

It's almost the end of my work day and I need to get some food in my belly. I've been so busy I've skipped right past lunch today. BAD KIM!! See Curves I do mess up. HAHAH I'm going to the kitchen to grab a orange and apple real fast. I had my mini wheats this morning and some animal crackers for my late snack and my late morning snack was that small pouch of mini-rice cakes with little chocolate swirls, only 90 calories for that pouch, it's so worth it!! I'm going to fill my large glass up with water again too, I'm hot and thirsty. No gym tonight, I'm going home to wash the car and do some yard work, it's supposed to rain this weekend and it's already needing a mow since we didn't get it done this past weekend. Always something isn't it?? I should burn at least 300-400 doing all that no problem! I'm craving some black bean wraps for tonight, loaded with lettuce and tomato and maybe an ounce of jalapeno jack cheese. mmmmm Okay I'm starving. Later everyone

Bad Bad Bad girl!!! I love those rice cakes things and the cinniman ones are yummmy as well...Ya knwo you are hungery when you are already fantasizing abt dinner - ha:drooling:ha :drooling: ha:drooling:
 
Morning Diary Friends~~

Hello Everybody!! I'm feeling major cramping today, You all know what that means. DAMN IT!! :eek: I guess it's a good thing for now. I didn't get to wash my car last night Bruce, I got busy working on some stuff with one of my sons. He is wanting me and my hubby to take him to Dallas on the 21st for this concert thing going on. It's actually the Dallas Symphony playing music from some of his favorite online games and movies. I looked at it all and it sounds wonderful, I better the music is going to be awesome too. He has a girlfriend that lives in Fort Worth, so she wants him to come down for a few days and hang out. Me and my hubby will stay at a condo (one of the timeshare perks) off a beach there and go visit my dad and his wife for a day and have dinner. Now this will be a nice vacation, my mom who lives in OK near us will stay out at our place while we are gone to take care of all our animals. Of course for her it's a little vacation, I'll have food prepared for her and the pool will be hers all alone. She loves that part! It works out for everyone. Let's just hope my hubby can take the time off, he's VP of his company and if the President is out at that time, he has to be there, so I'm crossing my fingers he will get the time off I need it BADLY!! Tonight is group Groove, I'm going regardless of how I feel today, even if Aunt Flo is here I don't give a darn I'm going!!! I got up and had a bowl of cereal this morning and made myself a PB&J for lunch. I used 2 tbsp of strawberry Jam and only 1 tbsp of peanut butter it's low calorie and I love it!! I have fruit for snacks later and I think I still have a carrot in the fridge as well. I'm really going to load up on my water because I feel I need it for some reason. Well, I'm off to work. I'll be listening to the "BIG CHILL" CD on the way to work, I love that music. CHOW EVERYONE!!

Oh Kim that symphony sounds wonderful. How very cool that your son and his gf want to go together and want you to take them, I think that sounds like a fantastic vacation. I remember TX had this dry, hot, heat. blegh. But you're going to the beach for the vacation though so that's going to be lovely! Great job on planning the food (so that you don't miss another meal!) and also for going to the class tonight despite the cramps. I hope you have fun Miss Ladybug :)
 
Hi Kim, Rest easy, I'm over my recent troubles thanks in large part to my friend JOhn whom I've dated off and on for five years (old high school neighbours). He is very good for me. S pending days and nights with him at a place where he is housesitting. Enjoying dogs, walks, crossword puzzles, sitting around the deck like two old married folk. I have always told him I loved him but thought nothing would develop. Have always thought I could live with him. Where he ususally lives is really small and he doesn't like to have me over there so this is a good time for us to strengthen our connection. Yet I don't feel clingy or dependent. Its good. Just wanted to tell you.

Yeah I thought it was sweet that he asked me to take them as well, My hubby and I will just enjoy the hanging out eating at some fun places and check out the shops, which to be honest if it's just little gadget shops and fun shops I love to go, but I HATE the MALL, you have to drag me into those places kicking and screaming, I'm not a shopper at all, even though I do love to buy for others, but again I do most of my shopping at gift stores or craft shops, that way I always get unique items that nobody has. It should be fun, I'm really looking forward to it, and yea it should be pretty warm too, probably in the mid 90's with a little humidity I would think OH WELL. :)

Hi Kelly, I'm happy your feeling better and have found a new (old) friend to kick up your heals with. As I have said before, everyone needs to have somebody, be it friend or boyfriend, family member they love to spend time with and share feelings with. You have to get stuff out, carrying it in can really do things to your body. It's nice you've worked it out. Let's keep this ball rolling sister!! Enjoy!

Tonight I busted my ass at the gym, I not only took group groove, but I walked several miles with my girlfriend afterward, I'm quite exhausted right now and will probably turn into bed in a few minutes. But I wanted to write down that I had one bean wrap for dinner tonight AND... One small baked potato, HOWEVER on my potatoes I do NOT add any butter, instead I load it with Chunky salsa, yep.. my sister got me hooked on that. Low calories and you still get a potato that doesn't taste dry. It was tasty! Then After dinner I had 3 of those very tiny ice pops, you know those frozen tubes of what tastes like kool-aid. HAHAHAH I think they are 25 calories a piece or something that small, but it's better than grabbing a bowl of real ice cream that's for sure. Even though in my mind I'm thinking I would really like to have a Turtle sundae that would be ideal. But NO, NO, NO way to many calories. Well, I'll enjoy the last few ounces of water in my bottle and head to bed. Good Night everyone! :sleeping: :sleeping:
Kim
 
Great going at the gym yesterday!
Nice control over eating too. I'm expecting for you to do very well this week, Kim!
I hope you had a wonderful relaxing night and are full of steam today as well! :D

Hey Kim!

Sorry about the cramps..:( I've got mine soon and I'm PMT-ing big time. Everyone's peeing me off and I've still not shaken off the last of my cold. Anyways, the concert sounds great! This morning I was listening to the soundtracks to some of my fave films, like Pirates of the Caribbean, The Piano, The Illusionist (actually not one of my fave films but the soundtrack is beautiful) so to go to an actual concert would be fantastic! Enjoy it! I hope your well laid plans work out!

Fantastic workout at the gym - you should be able to enjoy your holiday in the knowledge that you've worked your ass off.. Have a fab one!

PS: I hate malls too!!!! They all look alike and all sell the same stuff - it's annoying.
 
Hi Kim! Glad to hear about all happenings right now...that is a cool concert! You guys will have fun getting away, too. Good job on your workouts too! :)

Your bean wraps always sound so good....I had a breakfast taco for dinner...I saw something similar on one of Rachael Ray's travel shows...and we made it for breakfast one morning...well, Bruce had softball last night so I whipped up one for me for dinner and then made him one when he got home after his game!

Its a scrambled egg poured into a small hot frying pan sprayed with cooking spray. You let that set up a bit and then lay in a slice of cheese, whatever kind you want. I used pepper jack. Then flip it over and lay a corn tortilla on top of that and flip it over again and cook until the tortilla has heated and browed a bit. Top it with diced fresh tomatoes, onions, and jalapenos (or whatever else you want) and I splashed Tapatio hot sauce all over the top. Fold it in half and ENJOY. Mine was 230 calories (70 for the egg, 70 for the mission corn tortilla, 60 for the slice of cheese and 30 calories for the tomatoes, onions and jalapenos) Delicious! :)
 
Beth, I make those breakfast tacos also, I love them!! Usually it's my weekend meal, as I rarely have time during the week to cook anything in the mornings. You think I'm doing good on the workouts, your kicking mayjor ass as you now are in the 140's I'm so jealous!

RHO: I love soundtracks as well, I'm a big music freak! Cramps suck big time, it's just not fair what we women have to go through is it. HAHAHA

Juliette: I hope your feeling better I think you got stung by a hornet the other day right?? OUCH!! I'm actually excited about weighing in on Monday, I hope the scale is good to me again. :)


I got up early this morning had a bowl of cereal with 1% milk. Enjoyed my normal two cups of Java and head off to work. I'm now enjoying my bowl of oatmeal, yeah I'm hooked on it again and it's only 300 calories, so what the heck. I'm currently working on my first 160z glass of water, hope to get through another 2 before the end of the day. I have an orange and apple for later. Tonight is Group Power (YUK) I hate this class. HAHAHA But I need the weight training, so whining I must. I will get to the gym an hour before this class, so I think I'll do a nice run on the elliptical for about 40 minutes or so, will probably burn 450 on the elliptical and another 300 or so on Power, not a bad night I think. Well, I better get eating before my lunch is over. Everyone enjoy your day!
Kim
 
Hey Kim, I hope your cramping is better by now. I'm having the worst stupid cramps! So I can sympathize, hehe. I hope you're able to get your weight training in, you can do it! Hehe
 
Hey Kim I think that those ice pops are an awesome way to have a little snack. I love them! But I can never find them in the grocery store! My grocer is really small, but come on, ICE POPS! It's summer!

Fabulous job on the workout and going for the walk after, you really are doing such an admirable job with your diet and exercise. hahaha I think oatmeal is a pretty good addiction to have :), as far as cravings go. Good for you for doing the weight training class, that's great, and cardio too tonight! That's it, you've made me realize I've gotta stop whining and get to the gym tonight too. Thanks Kim! Have a great night!


:eek: Oh and thanks to Beth who has made me ridiculously hungry for some of those breakfast burritos, I'm thinking of going shopping for the ingredients tonight.:eek:
 
you're on fire Kim and that is just awesome :D hope your hubby gets those days off you need so much...going to that concert would be so much fun for ewveryone obviously.
i'm happy to see you're drinking that water. i can't thank you enough for making that deal with me since i'm back to losing again and not indulging my cravings they way i shouldn't. i almost got caught in that vicisious circle called denial. so thank you for keeping me on track :D

Thanks Sara!! I love snacking on really good low calorie items, that way I can have two and not feel guilty!!

Hi Lena!! YEAH, I'm so happy it kept you on the right track and your back to losing again, WAY TO GO GIRLFRIEND!!


My hubby WAS able to get those extra days off, so I'm going to book two nights in a Bed & Breakfast instead of the condo time share I had planned. we love the B&B;s we always feel so pampered. I forgot to grab lunch before I came to work, so I hope i have something here I can warm up. DAMN IT! I do have apples and oranges so that's fine. I did eat my morning bowl of cereal too, so that should hold me over for a short time. Tonight I have Group Groove at 5:30, but I usually get off work by 4 on Fridays and if i do, I'll take the 4:30 Group Centergy class first, then group groove, I love doing both of those on Friday's it makes me feel good. TOM is almost over, YEAH so I'm ready to weigh in on Monday, wish me luck!! Regardless what that stupid ass scale says, I'm wearing but another blouse I haven't been able to wear in years, so I think I'm still losing inches every week, my pants are almost getting to the falling off the hips stage as well, so MAYBE, just MAYBE I'll be buying new stuff the first of July, that's what I'm hoping for. IF that happens, I promise you all I will take pics and post them okay??? Well, I better get busy I have a lot of work to do today before I head out. Take care everyone and have a Great day!!!:jump:
Kim
 
morning Kim! Just wanted to say have a great Friday and enjoy your classes tonight!

The B&B sounds fun! I have never stayed in one. We stay in hotels. I am really particular about hotels..I think I am becoming a snob in my old age...hahaha....but I insist on staying at nice hotels. It has to have central air/heat, a great bed, and coffee in the room! I think my favorites are doubletrees...for a mid price hotel...plus they have those "to-die-for" chocolate chip cookies!!!!!!!!!

You are doing so great! I am sure your scales will reflect all that hard work!
