My Big Fat Journal

Thanks, everyone. Great suggestions, s-day. I love Soya beans, but have never purchased them. I have only had them in restaurants. I'll have to try it.

I knew you would be the hipster who knew that song, Mal.

Movies are the worst! Aren't you supposed to be shoving food in your mouth when you watch a movie? I thought it was mandatory.

Thanks for the encouragement Ava.

The weigh in went well today. 6lbs in two weeks. It really feels good, especially knowing I had a couple of days I could have done better. Just go to show....be patient, be diligent, don't get discouraged and the weight will come off.

I love this place.
 
knowing a hot chocolate song makes me a hipster? ha ha ha ha... I'll take it - i thought it made me a disco dork :D

Good for you for the 6 lbs-- slow and steady wins the race :)
 
congratulations!!!!!!! Six pounds is funkadelic!!!!!!!! You did so good and I am so happy for you. And happy for me that I'm on your team!!!!!

And I just love the little nicknames you leave for me in my diary. You are just too cute!!!

I think our team lost a toddler!!! 26 pounds...is that toddler sized? Can you tell I'm not a mother?

I think you did great!!! And we can roll off the rest of this weight easy as pie...I mean easy as green beans!!!! LOL!!!! Let's keep going!
 
Thanks, everyone.

Scarlett, I have no idea about kids either. I have a dog that weighs 20 and he is smallish....I think 26lbs may be a toddler with malnutrition issues.

Initial C--Congrats to you as well. You did awesome.

I see your exercise ticker is moving right along, Mrs. Bear. That is wonderful.

Today was good. I ate a ton of food and still only ate 1500 calories and managed to get a bit of dark chocolate in as well. Tomorrow is the big day.....I am going to that candy shop I was telling you about and I am going to have some fudge. I'll buy just enough to eat there and won't bring any home, but I am really looking forward to it.

I also made a lovely pasta salad for dinner if anyone would like to try it. I put shredded broccoli, shredded red cabbage, some grilled shrimp, sweet red peppers, crushed red peppers (hot/dried) and some multi grain thin spaghetti in a bowl. For the dressing I used the Paul Newman's Asian Ginger Low Fat Dressing. Chill and Eat. It was delicious. It would have been really good with peanuts in it, but I didn't put any in there.

Take care ya'll!
 
Hey Pineola!

Congrats on the 6 pounds!! That salad sounds good! Chef salad is one of my favorite diet things. And another Asain Ginger dressing fan?? I Love that stuff!!

Dark chocolate mmmmmm- You are making me hungry, I love that stuff too!! I'm eating corned beef right now, but I'm going to pretend it's choclate fudge... *SNARF*

I'm going to try your salad sometime this week- Man that sounds tasty!!

-K-
 
Hi there, hope you are having a good day. I've been meaning to ask...you would have thought I'd know by now!!!! But do you pronounce it pin-ee-ola or pine-ola? If it's pine-ola I be you think I'm an idiot because I've been calling you Pinnie :eek:

See ya!
 
That salad sounds simply marvelous... I love that dressing.. it's one of the few dressings that doesn't have that low fat after taste to it... :)

Alright already! I had very little time the last couple of days to catch up on the forum and I thought it more interesting to see what everyone else was doing.

Yesterday was the big fudge eating day. Man did I get a sugar rush after being so good for so long. It was yummy! I had one that was dark chocolate with caramel and pecans in it. I did really well at the beach...we brought cucumber slices, grapes, strawberries and spinach dip w/crackers for lunch. I totally set this day aside to go over 1700 cals knowing the rest of the week I would have to stay around 1500. I actually would have been under 1700 had we not gone out for Chinese afterwards.

I ate a bit too much Kung Pao, but it was really good. I brought 1/2 home for another time, but really could have gotten 3 meals out of it. I did so good going in and out of shops that have testers of everything. I did test some salsa and basting sauces on some wheat crackers and had one of those mini-plastic spoon sized bites of gelato---you know the kind they give you the taste test in. I totally ignored all the chips and breads and caramel corn. The caramel corn was very difficult for me. I can't tell you how much I love caramel corn. Stick a bowl of it out there for free and me keeping my hands out of it is a miracle.

I bought this Pumpkin Habanera basting sauce. Sounds weird, doesn't it? It was so good! Had a great day with 3 of my nieces that I don't get to spend much time with. Way to much sun exposure especially on my back.

I did about 20 mins of water aerobics in Lake Michigan which is colder than hell and walked around for about 3 hours so I think I burned up a few of those fudge and Kung Pao calories.

Today felt very boring compared to what I ate yesterday. Back to Luna Bar, Banana, salad, chicken.....Where's my Kung Pao!!! It's sitting in the fridge, but I'm not going to eat it.

Today I am feeling very lumpy. I did not go to the gym so I am going to have to dance around the house before I go to bed or do the Veena & Neena Bellydance DVD. My job really depresses me. Donna--we will call her.....well, because that is her name....can't shut up. I was not there 4 mins and she had told me 500 things. I DON'T WANT TO HEAR 500 THINGS AT 8:30 IN THE MORNING!!!!!! I WANT MY QUIET TIME AT MY DESK WITH MY COFFEE!! GET OUT OF MY OFFICE!!! Thank goodness tomorrow I have to go to a class instead of going to work!

OK, I'm done. All in all...things are fab. I'm going to miss my niece when she goes back to GA. Maybe I'll move to Atlanta. A little to hot for me, but warmer winters and no DONNA!!!

Thanks for stopping by. I'm checking on ya'll now.
