Decimate December

Today and tomorrow are all that are left of 2009.  That's probably a good thing!  I have Decimated too much food lately.  I have continued getting in my liquids and generally all the protein I need as well as vitamins and supplements.

Today's plan:
lots of liquids
protein coffee...almost downed
another protein drink
leftover something for lunch
homemade chili for dinner

What's your plan?

Karla

PS...don't make me the only one to post these last 2 days of 2009...even if we don't FOLLOW our plan...we'll never stick to one if we don't make one first!

You're not alone...I'm here...a complete and total failure for the month but I'm here, lol. 

Yesterday I looked back at my 2009 WLS calendar and our "30 day challenge" started on January 5th and I weighed 162.  The lowest I hit all year was 153 so it was a maximum 9 lb loss for the year.  Yesterday I was back up to 156.4.  I still consider it a successful year because I DID reach and maintain GOAL for most of the year and I posted to this thread 90% of the time.  One of my goals last year was to exercise-I FAILED miserably at that one. 

Looking at the 2010 calendar, I plan to start in earnest on January 4th (Monday) cuz I know New Years weekend will be bad.  I will formulate my goals over the next few days and be ready to post them for everyone to see.  I know one of them involves looking HAWT in a swimsuit for a little CRUISE next September!!

Not posting food plans for today cuz I'll be in the kitchen baking on my new stove something YUMMY to take to the NYE party. 

 

Good Morning,

Still waiting on the Tijuana thing Karla!!


David threw a wrench in my plans yesterday.. sort of!


Coffee has been liquidated LOL
B. Yogurt and some oatmeal
Snack, 1/4 cup of chili (gotta open up the pouch for lunch)
Lunch? Something healthy, David is taking me out for lunch, special day )
Dinner: Maybe doggie bag from wherever


Blessings,

Nina

Sorry Nina...I guess I never looked back to see recipe request.  I'll post it!

I'm here Karla.  What has 2009 been like for me, hmmmm really it's been quite emotional and stressful but I'm still here and I'm hanging on.

Last year at this time I weighed somewhere around 127 lbs....this morning I'm at 133.4 again.  I've seen 144.9 (yikes).  For the most part, I'm ok with the regain as I knew some would come back but I want to see 129.9 lbs and that is my focus for the first quarter of 2010; actually I want to see it by 2/21/10 my 5 year anniversary.

Today's plan is:

Breakfast:  grits and turkey pepperoni
Snack:  Oh Yeah RTD
Lunch:  Chef salad and fruit cup
Dinner:  sausage and tomatoe gravy probably with 2 tbsp of rice and brussel sprouts

Good morning.... trying to make some good choices these next few days but looking forward to 2010!!!   Need to get a bunch of this junk out of my house... come the first it all goes in the trash!!!  At least the cheesecake is gone!!!!!  Okay so my plan for today....

B:Oh Yeah RTD
L: ham and 15bean soup
D: Rudy's BBQ

Hi guys......I've been horrible on this thread.............not much for planning and well -  BINGO.....I' really haven't had too much (3lb or so) gain during the holidays - so I consider that a PLUS !!   It could have been worse.........so much more worse.but I was determined to be one of the ones that posted without holiday gain...and well - it didn't happen...

I need TWO things:

#1)   Can someone PM me our list of recipes through OH PM for  protein shakes......I want to share them with a girl here at work........

#2)....how about    HOW DO YOU MIX THE PROTEIN IN YOUR COFFEE?     1 scoop per cup....YIKES !!        Do you blend it in with the creamers......so it will dissolve?      

Since I've been drinking so much coffee - I need to get more protein in...I've been horrible at the protein levels for several weeks...............I'm snacking too much on  those darn  kettle cooked chips...................................but at least they are LOWER in cal / fat grams and carbs........lol    

Okay -  not a good thing...........but starting back to basics in the next day or two if not TODAY !! 

xoxoxxoxo..((((((hugggsss))))))))  HAVE A GREAT DAY !! 

hey phyllis,
on the protein coffee, yes i use one scoop of protein per cup of coffee. however lol. 
i either mix the protein in with my liquid creamer first, then pour in the coffee, or have my coffee ready to go, then put in the protein. if you add the powdered protein directly to hot coffee, it clumps and its way gross.  I also have been known to use the RTD ones (EAS, ATKINS etc) in there as creamer as well when im in a hurry. 
I will get my 'recipes' for you and pm them

I heat about a cup of skim milk in the microwave on high for 34 seconds, then put it under my Keurig and brew a cup of coffee, add 2 splenda packets and then 1 scoop of protein powder, generally Nectar Cappucino.  It gives you extra protein from the skim milk and I don't have to use creamer.

OMG im so ashamed of my efforts (or lack thereof) the last few days! I dont have a scale here at mom's but i know its bad. No one better look at me 'that way!" at the NYE party lol.  coz i feel like im huge again!. ok so i know i didnt gain 220lbs back but i do know its back to basics time for me.  thankfully i realize the problem NOW before its way outta control!!!. Its been lack of a schedule, poor planning, the usual!

i desperately need to get back to exercising (which i hate) and not having the dogs living with me has certaintly made a difference as well as a medication change.  No excuses tho.. those are just the facts of life right now and i must make the necessary adjustments. 

Thanks VIV for the info on 24hour fitness/costco. Will be checking into that when i return.  Just thankful i have the ability to turn this around before it gets completely outta hand!
Thanks Karla!!!!
