Katie: Day 4

By -

Hi all! I'm excited to be doing this challenge and these diet blogs seem to really help! Thanks Shelley for inviting me! Cindy - I think you have done one if the hardest things and that is (at least for me) going to the store and buying healthy things! Keep it up! Shelley way to go you really are rocking this diet!

I started dieting on January 2 and have been being pretty good at staying between 1200 and 1500 calories each day. I thought I totally blew it on Friday but when I counted up my calories I was at 1500 so I didn't feel so bad. Here is my break down for today plus what I am planning on having tonight while I watch Downton Abbey :)
Breakfast 126 calories
1 cup Cheerios (always my go to for breakfast when I am counting calories) 
1/4 cup skim milk
Lunch 326 calories
Hummus 1 tbs
1 wedge laughing cow cheese
1/4 English cucumber
Turkey sandwich meat
2 slices of bread
1 pickle 

Dinner 270 calories

6 oz eggplant parm (from Costco)
1 cup squash

Snacks 210 calories

Fiber one brownie 
Snap pea crisps ( so yummy like eating chips)

Then tonight I am planning on having some hot chocolate in a tea cup ( in honor of Downton abbey) and a few little ginger bread cookies ( fake crumpets) and that will bring my total calories to somewhere around 1200! 
Each day gets easier and even though I have only lost 1 lb I am feeling better about myself because I am taking better care of myself! Tomorrow I am planning in going to a ballet class and I can't wait! I'm so excited! I am also totally pumped to be loosing weight! 

Hooray for smart dieting, calorie counting, cheering each other on, and blogging!! 
Until tomorrow... Happy Dieting!

    I'm so jealous you are going to be dancing! Go be graceful for the both of us! I am also wishing I was there to enjoy Downton with you. You make me want to buy a tea cup!

So close to 13 lbs lost I can taste it!  I have a deal with Jason that every 20 lbs he has to take me to dinner at my very favorite place on the planet to eat, Spencer's.  I'm really looking forward to it! I'm so motivated right now.  All I want to do is peel away this weight as fast as I can.  I know I have to take it a bit slow or it will all just come back but the war is on and I am sooooo determined! I'm loving seeing your guy's progress.  It's so exciting to me!   Today's Breakdown: Budget 1,516 Food 971 Exercise -599 Net 372 Under 1,144 Breakfast: 268 Breakfast Sandwich, Sausage, Egg & Cheese Flatbread 1 Each 240 Orange Juice, No Pulp 1/4 Serving 28 Lunch: 309 Sour Cream, Light 1 Teaspoon 7 Ham, 97% Fat Free, Cajun Style 1 Ounce 29 WW Chicken Feta & Tomatoes 1 Serving 163 ...

Cindy and February

By -
So....February came and went. I turned 45, Eliza turned 17, Valentines came and went, I went to New York for work and I kept training for my 10k.(We are now running about 30 minutes at a time averaging 3.5 miles total per run, 3 x a week.) I am not quite the exercise animal Shelly is but I too find that if I work out I am more hungry. My goal was 20 lbs I only made a little over 16. February was hard....too many temptations. However, I did learn that you can drink a ton of water while traveling and you can use the hotel's exercise room all night. I am feeling recharged and ready to knock March out of the water!!! Until then......Spring has Sprung.

Shelley: Day 4 - Eat the Insides!

So, another day of what my family calls "nuke" and vomit.  We call it nuke thanks to my oh so wise brother-in-law.  When he was little he used to make up words.  One day he came out of the bathroom and said, "I nuked."  Everyone asked what he meant and he said, "I nuked, makes you have a sick bum.".  Since then, we've all referred to this particular malady as nuke.  So there was lots of nuking at our house today.  I'm seriously going to have to invest in Lysol with the rate at which I am using their products. I finally dragged all of my children to the gym thinking the worst was behind us (no pun intended) and W had diarrhea and we had to throw his clothes away.  I managed to run about 3.5 miles before getting called away but such is life with three very little kids.  As I have no time for anything, I bought chicken and squash (yellow and zuchinni) to grill for dinner tonight.  It's one of the simpliest and fastest healthy dinne...
