Hi All! Happy Hump Day! I know I keep saying it but time sure flies doesn't it anymore? It is going to be October soon and before you know it.. do I dare say it? CHRISTMAS! wow.. I have already started shopping. Whew! So everyone lets share how we ate today and how we moved today! B: 1 egg, 2 oz of lean ham steak L: Kids pack from subway - 3" turkey on wheat bread (threw one of the breads off - my first time eating bread btw.. went well, I had them toast it) and added pepper jack cheese, a lil bit of light mayo and lots of veggies. Then ad the little baby pack of apples.. gave the drink to my husband. He got a 6 inch.. we ate for 6 bucks, you can't beat that! S: (before my 2 mile run outside!! Dawn two days in a row for me! I am stoked!): High protein peanut butter cereal bar (south beach - 140 cals) and 1 light string cheese. S: 3 Mt. Olive baby pickles (these are sweet pickles sweetened with splenda! High sugguest them!) and then a bit later a homeade latte using 8 oz of light vanilla soy milk and SF dulce de leche syrup - yum! D: Marinating butterfly pork chops and making a light greek salad. Will have 3oz of meat and some side salad. S: EAS Cafe Caramel Shake Cals: 945, fats 38, carbs, 59 and protein 93 (I LOVE THESE NUMBERS I AM SO HAPPY!) and I ran my two miles.. I can do it, I can do it! WE CAN DO IT! How did you do today?

Peanut butter 1/4 baked chicken and spinach florentine and 1/2 salad ( at gondaliers) an itilian restraunt. No exercise today I haven't felt too well. Hope to at least get some walking and water arobics in tomorrow. Mini me

Hi! Munchies today baaaad...got my period. Can't wait to drop a little water weight, yeah! I'm about out the door to my monthly Rose Society meeting. Better remember to grab a water bottle before I leave! 1) frosty protein shake (yucky...I added real pumpkin pie spice on top of the sf pumpkin pie syrup--too strong!) 2) smaller size homemade choc.-banana protein bar 3) 1 T soynut butter on top of a corn/soy/flax cake (like a rice cake but lower numbers!) 4) the leftover half of my cottage cheese waffle breakfast (1/2 'waffle', 1.5 oz. turkey sausage made into a sandwich with 1 oz. Alpine lace provolone) 5) 1 wasa cracker, 2 T Melissa's frosting, 1 T homemade pumpkin butter 6) snacked on throughout the day: 1/4 med cantaloupe in chunks, 1 blue bunny froz fruit bar calories: 823, carbs: 82, fats: 19, protein: 76 As usual...my carbs are a big problem. Today I made a trip to the natural foods market to investigate a substitute for the oats in the homemade protein bar recipe. (since they make the recipe so high in carbs) I am going to try to substitute puffed Kamut cereal and also puffed Millet cereal. Wish me luck! The numbers are so incredibly lower than the oats that it will be worth the effort. I'll let you know how it goes, hopefully Thursday or Friday. Talk to you tomorrow! Molly

Oh I can't wait to hear how those turn out Molly. Hope you feel less "bloated" soon! *hugs*

Hi, All..I think that I had a second helping of PMS (twice this month?; just the PMS)! My eating has been all over the place, but mostly in "snackville". I lowered my intake today to pull in the reins a bit. My 4 day average looks better, less guilt, and I'm not hunger right now...so that is a relief. 861 cals with 66 proteins for a 4 day average. I NEED to sleep! Ro

B: Protein Bar S: Mini Quiche L: 2.5 oz new york strip broccoli D: 4oz pork chop grilled salad with lf italian dressing S:1ozlf colby jack cheese & 4 crackers Cal 865 fat 44.5 carb 37 protein 81 The whole way home from work i was trying to talk my way out of exercising -but i figured if i get the 5 days knocked out m-f i will be free and clear on the weekend. So inspired by Melissa's inclined run Tuesday....i did hills Wednesday 2 miles in 35 minutes intervals at 2-8 incline-talk about restless leg syndrome all night it kicked my butt literally! My dr appts are every 4 weeks and i wanted to see if not only watching my intake but starting to regularly exercise would make a big difference. so this is week 2 and i did 5 days last week.....i hope this works

Great job with the exercise Dawn! Now remember I was at 800 cals for the longest time but had to up to 1000 to see that scale move steadily again. This may not be an issue for you, keep it at 800 if you keep losing but just keep that in the back of your mind. Running is serious calorie burning. I burn about 300 cals or right under in 30 mins. I know when you are thinking about calorie deficit it makes sense to keep the cals where they are but we also malabsorb some so your body might really wanna know what is going on when it isn't getting that many cals. It may do just fine though.. watch and see how it goes. Congrats on running hills! I am trying to run outside but its so much harder. I wanna do a 5k eventually! Wow do I have a ways to go endurance wise before I will get there! Keep up the good work!
