Hi, Smiley. I just read your diary and you made me laugh. :)
But you also made me feel like we are all in this together. Yes, the damned Easter Bunny came to my house too! ;) How did you know he would leave little chocolate eggs? Ugh!
Eating healthy foods is sooo much easier when the bad food is not at your house!

Day 5

Totally agree with you,the chocolate has been sent with my husband he could use a few lbs. i have a big control prob. when it comes to having goodies in the house :eek: so if they are not in here i won't eat them. i don't even buy them at the store,usually my hubby comes home with stuff. i'm always afraid what people are going to think :eek: (another of my prob's)at the store you know no wonder she's fat look at the grocery cart filled with icecream and cookies(i have been told many times that other people just don't give a crap/mainly by my hubby :mad: ,probably cause it's true and probably cause he wants the damn stuff)it's just the mind set i've got i'm not quite sure how to change it :confused: i've always thought that way-i've also always been overweight :(

Anyhow on a positive note-i like this mini meal stuff, i don't eat as much and i don't feel hungry all the time so thats good :)

smiley do you have an elliptical in your house? I just have to share the fact that I LOVE the elliptical! I usually fill up my iPod with new music and hit the gym for like an hour. Sometimes I spend like 50 minutes on the elliptical before I even realize how long I've been on it.

Let me also say that I love going to the gym...the skinny girls give me inspiration. :D

Missy Elliott is GREAT to work-out to!

It sounds like you are doing great!

Did you say you hit a plateau with your weight? What I normally do when I hit a plateau is switch a few things up like what exercises I am doing, and when...and totally change the way I am eating...that has worked a few times..

I like the mini meal thing too...but Im trying the 3 meals only right now.. if i get hungry during the day ill have to deal w/ it then.
What kind of elliptical do you have? do you like it (obviously you do..you use it) does it take up alot of room? Im thinking of switching my gazelle for an elliptical as I like the gazelle but i dont get a really good intense cardio off from it.
thanks!

I bought a hot pink work out bag that has Goddess on it in rhinestones.. and it totally encourages me and inspires me to do it for me :-D
 
went to a friends house today and had lunch while our boys played :) (guess it's called a play date) she got me thinking about roller blading she says it's a great work out for her butt :) ?? i don't know much about it though if any one reads this and has some experiance let me know :)
 
Hey, Smiley, how old are your boys? I have three little boys- a 4-almost-5 year old, a three year old and a 20 month old. Most days I refer to my life as a "three ring circus."
Don't know anything about rollerblading. I really hate falling...

just noticed i had 3 pages in here hurray! :) tomorrow is the day i hop on the scale hope i'm down some, i can tell you one thing i can feel a difference :) now let's see if the scale feels one :D
 
Oh man! The spinner bought the farm! Not the spinner! Ohhhh thats not good. I would complain to the company... what good is the thing if you cant spin w/ enthusiam? There should be a warning label..." do not spin while listening to hip hop or anything w/ a beat..and most certainly dont enjoy your spinning.."
how silly huh!
I hate preparing my own salad..i buy the bag stuff...its great for those busy nites which is like every night. I never bought the spinner...but now im definetely not going to :-D
 
Thankfully nobody was injured in this incident :D i just had a hell of a mess to clean up.

Bagged stuff is a great time saver,but i don't like the iceburg stuff.
and the romain doesn't come in the big bags :(
next spinner will be state of the art w/ a life insurance policy that comes w/ it. just in case ;)
 
Maybe you could get a hazard sign for your kitchen that says "caution, Salad Spinner in progress, pass at your own risks"
LOL
Have a great nite!
 
:) great idea! maybe i'll just have to do that!

totally bummed right now :( no w-og tonight it started raining before i could go and hasn't stopped since :(
just have to make a bigger effort tomorow ;)
 
Ooh, it's awful when the weather hinders your exercise plans. But it looks like you're doing great otherwise. You're so motivated! Keep it up!
