Time to stick with it!!

I wouldn't worry about it - that wouldn't even register as drinking here in Ireland! And I can honestly say from experience that alcohol doesn't do half the damage to your figure as junk food does. Not that I'm encouraging bad behaviour of course! :)

Thanks gossipgirlfan! Usually when I drink that much I snack like crazy on greasy food and chips, whatever is around. I was glad I passed out so early otherwise I probably would have snacked more! I also really like eating greasy food the morning after drinking so I started the day with a walk and after that my mind was only on healthy eating! I don't think I'd keep in Ireland! Would be fun to attempt it though! Cheers.

sounds like a solid workout plan :) dont forget to get some strength training in there!

Way to go for your successful weekend too by the way!!!

I tried trsicuts for the first time a couple of weeks ago and they are damn good! there were two flavours that i tried, cracked pepper and olive oil and rosemerry and olive oil mmmmm. Its really hard to stop at just a couple of crackers-they are THAT good-kudos to you for only having 5!
 
Tomorrow is weigh-in!

Another good day in my books. Here's how it went:
B - instant oatmeal w 1 cup strawberries
Snack - two cups mint green tea black
L - salad w chick peas, veggies, ff tomato oregano dressing
Snack - grapefruit
Exercise - 1 hour Med intensity to high intensity aerobics class - warm-up, cardio, strength, abs, stretch.
D - left over pork shoulder, baked zuchinni & yellow pepper, 1/2 can french green beans.
Snack - 5 Whole Wheat Triscuts, 1 point peanut butter bar
Pedometer steps - 8860
Today has been crazy and already my pedometer is at 15783 steps. I have my first spinning class tonight and I'm a little nervous. I'll let you know tomorrow how the spinning and the weigh in go! Cross your fingers for me because I don't think I'm going to be down.

The aerobics class actually incorporates a lot of strength training. It also uses a lot of moves that work the core. I also think this spinning class I'm starting does abs too but I'm not positive and I'll find out tonight!
 
Weigh-in Successful!

Thanks Melissa and fatgirl2phatgrl for stopping by. I can always use the encouragement!
Yeah I was down 4.4 pounds at weigh-in today!! My hard work last week really paid off!:hurray:
Yesterday was a busy and crazy day. It was our United Way kick-off at work and I'm the committee chair so for once I didn't have to sit in front of my computer all day and got to be busy and do lots of running around. Here's how it went:
B - instant oatmeal w 1 cup cantaloupe (switching up the berries & fruit makes it so I don't get sick of the oatmeal)
L - big salad - spinach, chick peas, veggies w ff tomato, oregano dressing
Snack - apple
exercise - 1 hr spin & abs class - this was so awesome and I sweat so much! My legs are a little sore today but not nearly as bad as I was expecting. My abs are also feeling it but nothing too crazy.
Snack - med banana
D - 2 tomato's (that I grew - I had two plants and have tons of fresh tomato's - they are so good too!), life smart brand frozen lasangna (6 WW points).
Snack - 1 point WW bar - peanut butter
Total Pedometer steps - 22900!! That is an all time record since I got it. Plus it doesn't count my spinning! I was just really, really busy yesterday! Which probably helped with the 4.4 pound loss today at WW!!!:hurray: I'm so pumped! I'm looking forward to the week ahead to keep pushing through it!
Cheers everyone :cheers2:
 
Can't wait for Friday!

Yesterday was good but today I have a headache and I'm grouchy. It's been a long week. I didn't get enough protein yesterday either so I need to up that today in order to get my energy up because I'm sooo tired!
Here is how yesterday went:
B - oats & flax instant oatmeal & 1 cup blueberries
Snack - 1 cup mint green tea
L - garden salad with veggie & FF honey dijon dressing
Snack - med banana
Exercise - 1 hr aerobics class - we used slidders and the inside of my thighs are sore today!
D - 1 can tomato rice soup
Snack - 1 point peanut butter bar, 1 point choc mint bar
Total Pedometer steps 12700
I was under my points mostly because I didn't have any protein. My fiance is working out of town and he usually cooks the meat because I don't like to touch it. I know I can open a can of tuna or boil some eggs so I will have to do that today. I have no groceries at home either so I'm going to have to go grocery shopping. Oh I wish it was Friday.
 
Hiya

Great loss! Congratulations.... the exercise really works eh...

Your food sounds yummy too. You've inspired me to make salad for lunch today,

Anna

I like to try and have salad for at least lunch or dinner everyday. By adding different things and switching up my dressing I find it doesn't get boring. Not yet anyway :) Thanks for stopping by Anna. I'll come see how you are doing too. Hope things are good.
 
Where did the week go?

So glad it's Friday but it really feels like Wednesday or something. The week flew by. Yesterday was another success in my books so that keeps me positive and feeling good today. Here's how it went:
B- reg. instant oatmeal w 1 cup blueberries
Snack - 2 cups mint green tea black
L - Healthy Bowls Frozen Dinner - brocoli, chicken, penne w marinara sauce (5 WW points), 2 tomato's - that I grew!
Snack - ff activia peach yogurt, 1 pouch all bran buds
Exercise - 1 hr spinning class - 50 min on the bike & then 10 min stretch
D - Tortilla pizza - whole wheat & flax tortilla (2 points), salsa, 1/2 can tuna, 10 green olives, green onion, little bit of semi-soft cheddar cheese
Snack - 1 point choc caramel bar
Total Pedometer steps 7000 :( I felt like I was moving around more so maybe my pedometer wasn't working 100%.
Not looking forward to the weekend as much as I usually do because my boyfriend is going to be out of town working until next weekend so it's going to be quiet around the house. It will give me a chance to get some cleaning done and hang out with my parents. I think Saturday night is going to be my cheat night again but I hope to not have as many drinks as last weekend. I'll update you Monday how I did. Time to head over to the Halloween challenge! Let's go Pumpkin Posse!
 
Well done Cg!

I am going to have to give the Tortilla pizza a try it sounds really good and simple and I like simple.

Looks like a great diet girl!!!! way to go on all the spinning and cycling too!!! My legs would have just about fallen off!!!!!!

SPOOOOOOOKTACULARS!!!!!! hehehehe
:iagree:
 
The weekend wasn't the greatest. I'm tired and feeling like ugh today because of the bad eating I did last night. I forgot to bring my food diary so I will have to update you on that later. Friday I was good, Saturday wasn't too bad and yesterday was just crappy. I didn't exercise, I got really lazy and didn't feel like making meals so I just snacked all day and night - way more than I should have. This week I'm going to have to kick it in to high gear but right now I just want to go back to bed.
 
sorry to hear about your weekend, but on a bright note, it sounds like sunday is really all you need to recover from-not much of a set back at all :)

i wish i knew what it was about weekends that make it so easy to eat all the bad foods. I'm sure much of it has to do with trying to deal with a different routine but it shouldnt make such a HUGE difference in eating habits.

ARGH! it makes me so annoyed with myself!
