Hey Chicka
Sorry you didn't see that lose that you wanted. I know how hard you are trying. And I am sure that you are feeling very discouraged with all of it. But just keep a close eye on those cals and I think it will all fall into place for you.
Keep up all the hard work!

Thanks Bell! 
I'm so glad I'm not stepping on the scale today.
Confession time:
Yesterday was really good for workouts and food - until we went to the Outback steakhouse and then too a movie!
For my exercise I did 20 min. on the elliptical and 35 min. on the treadmill. Then, went out and did some cleaning up of the landscape stuff - trimmed shrubs and such.
I had eaten well.
Breakfast: leftover roasted red-skinned potatoes w/ egg beaters and some turkey sausage
Lunch: was a turkey sausage and bell-pepper "hoagie" - it was all homemade and I used a whole wheat hot dog bun instead of a big hoagie bun.
Dinner: (which actually wasn't too awful.) We shared coconut shrimp appetizer (mmm!), shared the bread loaf.
I ordered a griller - chicken w/ rice and veggies - it was delish!
If that was all I did, I think I would've been good. We even told the waiter not to bring out anymore bread. But then went to the movies and had popcorn. Ugh! Well I'm sure it wasn't as bad as we usually get since the movie attendant buttered our corn and usually it is smothered when we do it.
But still, I know it wasn't good.
I am going to try and find a recipe that is like the outback rice - it was so yummy!
And usually I take Sundays off, but I think I'd better exercise today!

There could have been way worse choices you made- all in all was pretty good. And remember, you cant deny yourself all the time- allow a treat in moderation once a week or so.
I'm a HUGE fan of popcorn. At home I usually have it 4-5 times a week. I have an air popper, use spray butter and then season with "kernal seasonings"- I like the Parmesan Garlic, and Ranch. (Being in MD, I often will use "OLD BAY" seasoning too- great stuff!) At work, I will get the 94% fat free kettle korn- perfect mix of sweet and salt!

Well I've been a workout guru lately. I don't know what's come over me - ok I do know. Not looking at the scale is motivating me to keep on track even more! There I said it! 
I've been playing with my calorie totals. I found a site that will help to calculate them so that you can zig-zag them - and eat less one day - just a wee bit more another day. The site is if anyone is interested.
Anyway, my goals are alternating cals from 1360 to 1530 - every other day. Yesterday I was suppose to shoot for 1360, but I got in 1436. Not bad, but I really am trying to get closer to the recommended numbers. So today is a 1530 day - easier - but yesterday wouldn't have been hard if I just would've said no to peanuts! LOL
I just got finished with my workout on the total trainer. I worked my biceps, triceps, shoulders, chest, and back.
Then came upstairs and got out my ab slider - and slid around with the thing 33 times! Woot! That's up from my normal 25. And I haven't done it in awhile.
Today I think I'm going to get some gardening done before I have to pick the kiddos up from school.
Have a good one!

Whooo SweatPea, you are on a mission !!!! Keep this up this week, you WILL see a lower number on your scale on Sat. weigh in!!!!! Guaranteed!!!!!
See I told you so... weighing every day is de-motivating...sometimes. It was for me at the begining, now it just a routine and I don't read so much into it.
I do have the withdrawal symptoms though, geesh two days w/o looking at my scale... makes me wonder : am I up or down...LOL
You have a great motivation vibe going on here... I am sensing lbs lost....

I'm so in withdrawal too! Today when I cleaned the bathroom, I had to move the scale - it was so tempting to just jump on! But I gave it a nice swipe and then put it back in it's place. Telling myself of course that when I finally get to jump on on Sat. the victory of beating this challenge will be so sweet!

You are doing so GREAT!!!!
I too am feeling the pull to the scale. I had to hide it the other day by throwing my clothes on top of it!!! LOL You know outta sight~outta mind!
Oddly enough I am feeling a pull to actually work-out!!! GASP!!
Guess since I can't "see" the progress by the numbers everyday I am determined to NOT be up on Saturday.
Keep up all your hard work!!!

Well today I went with Bell to the flea market. We had a good time - we went with her MIL and a group of ladies from the church. I don't think we hit more than 3 aisles in 3 hours though!
I didn't get any official exercise in today so tomorrow I'm going to give it all I've got! Especially since I'm taking Bell out for her bday. And we want to be a little bad.
I went over my cal goal for today about 1600 instead of 1360 (it was supposed to be my low day.) So I'm a little bummed by that.
But, my capris fit better today and I didn't have the waist band engraved into my tummy. So that's motivating even if my scale isn't! Of course I wouldn't know - maybe I've dropped 5 lbs (please God!) and wouldn't know it!
I so can't wait until Sat. I think I might stay up til midnight Friday.

Ooooh I hadn't thought about that!!! The staying up til midnight thing. I will already be up working when the pumpkin hour rolls around and we have a scale at work. Sorta like the Biggest Loser Scale. I could finally put this agony of mine to rest by jumping on it. Even with all my gear I would still have a pretty good idea of if I gained or lost.
Now I got something to look forward to at work!! Yeehaa!!!

HI SweatPea,
1600 is still better than 2000.
Just give a little extra on the exercise tomorrow.
Hope you both will have a wonderful day.
Hajni
Thanks Hajni! You are a weight-loss gal's best supporter! I've got to give it all I've got, or else I won't be eating tonight.

At least ya got some exercise when walking around the Flea Market. And as far as calories go, you didnt do awful. And must feel good to have your clothes fit better.
Well walking at a snails pace won't do too much except for make your feet tired later in the day. But you're right at least I wasn't sitting here all day doing nothing!

LOL Well I'm glad I helped you out with the scale madness!
Do you know how much your gear weighs? Of course you probably already know what the difference is with all your gear on between being nekkid at home and fully clothed at work.

Don't really know the difference so much. But do know for sure that I wouldn't want to weigh nekkid at work!!!!!!
1st of all that would be weird.....
2nd it's like 38* in there...........BBBRRRRRRR!!!!!!
