Hello everyone. 

Just wanted to post what I ate today, for lunch I had a bowl of oatmeal, and egg and a slice of carb options bread, I just felt like eating more breaky at lunch! lol. even though I had bran flakes and a banana for breaky. For snack, well I had a little treat and for supper I had a chicken ceasar salad. My cold has disappeared, don't know where it went but I am glad it's gone, cause I really didn't feel like exercising these past few days but I will start back up tomorrow and I will probably pay for it too. Meaning since I didn't exercise, I probably will gain or won't lose....oh welll...ahhhhhh...I'm not too worried! lol 

Welcome Teri, you will find alot of support here, I started on January 8 at 219 lbs and I am now at 159.5 (I hope!)and I feel great! And you will too once you start shedding some pounds. 

I don't see anything wrong with eating dark chocolate once in awhile, I wouldn't eat it everyday, I don't even care to eat it once a week usually just when we have those chocolate cravings, that's when I will think about the dark chocolate! LOL 

Goodnight!

Hello, Good Evening. 

  I did it and it feels good! I went on my treadmill for 30 min. feels good after a few days of not being on it. Because I was sick and felt bummed out. But back to it again. I even did 20 min. of strength training. 

  I think I need to do more strength training now that I am getting closer to my goal, I want to get more toned and see a little more muscle. I think I WILL, I will commit to 20 min. of strength training 2-3 times a week for now anyway. (instead of once aweek) And I will find the time. There that is my commitment to myself.  

  I already have my menu all planned out for tomorrow, so I don't have to run in to that situation where I don't know what to eat. Do you gals still plan your meals? I usually don't anymore, but it sure makes it easier when you do eh!

hello 

Well I took the kids out for a walk we went for 20 min. nice to get out while there are no bugs. Came home watched a movie and made some popcorn, I sprayed mine with a little butter flavored Pam. I want to try and get up early and get this laundry done, and since I am working evenings I will have to go on my treadmill sometime in the morning, although after not getting any exercise for a few days, my hips and thighs are already a little sore, well, I will see how I feel tomorrow.  

It was nice chattin with ya gals!!! we should do it again real soon!

Geez I just wrote up a nice post and then it disappeared....grrrrrr...  

Now I have to try to remember what I wrote.  

Holy Man Melody that's awesome, you make my little 30 minute workout feel like peanuts! lol  

I can't do that much exercise but I am glad you can, you'll be in shape in no time! and I am glad that some of you gals like to workout in the morning, I know it feels good, I just did 30 minutes on my treadmill and I feel fabulous, wish I can do it everyday, but usually when I work days I workout in the evening and when I work evenings I squeeze it in sometime during the day, whenever I can, as long as I get it in there I am happy.   

I already saoked 6 glasses of water into me today and usually at work I go through another 4.  

I have my meals planned out for today since I am going to be very busy today and for the next few days.  

B: branflakes with a sprinkle of 100% bran cereal, skim milk and banana  

L: salad, low cal dressing, chilli  

S: strawberry, banana smoothie  

S: pork chop, green and yellow string beans and caroots  

Does anyone have any good smoothie recipes to post?  

And does anyone know about the step counters? I read that 10,000 or more steps a day is sufficient, a couple of girls wore them at work one day and they counted almost 11,000 steps each. So that means if I started work this past mon till sun, I would have more than 70,000 steps....whew...that's so cool.  

Have a good day everyone!

Your right Tracy- There's no time like anytime, I feel the same way, as long as I get my exercise done sometime during the day or eve, then that's good enough for me. It all counts. 

I found it, the Kashi go lean crunch cereal, I will get some tomorrow or Sat. and try it out. 

Well I better get back to business.

I thought the topic was over and this is not to nit pick on anyone, as I was just responding to Tracys post earlier. But I looked up on the net and this is what I found and I am sure there are a million other things out there.  

Now lets get it over and done with and forget about it and move on cause it just doesnt matter anymore!!! 

The best time to exercise varies. However, according to research, 5-6pm is supposed to be the best time for most people to exercise and work out.

This is because muscle and body-core temperature is at it's highest and endurance levels are at their peak.  

Ok the regular one sounds more nutritional, I will get that one, or maybe I will get both! lol
