Good morning,

 

Your outfit sounds cute.   As for the lifting, I've never heard of those programs.  I intend to do lifting after I've lost a more significant amount of weight.  I was just planning to use the trainer at the gym, like I used to back in the day.   I have batwings now, but I can still see some evidence of shape in my upper arms where I used to have more muscle.  

Another half day of work becaue I have a nutritionist appointment.  Can't wait to go over my menu with her. 

B:  Premier Protein Shake

L:  1/2 whole wheat english muffin, tuna w/ light mayo

D:  Chicken Tenders, carrots

S: Possibly SF pudding

Good Morning Everyone,

Another crazy week here, but it's almost the weekend so I'll survive :)  I can't wait for to start the arm challenge with Anny, I think lifting is so good both for tightening things up and your metabolism, not to mention the long term benefits as we age and start losing major muscle mass.  I think the key to any exercise program, is to pick one you'll do.  I really think it's that simple, you'll see results from something you do consistently.  Not that I'm not a sucker for spending a ridiculous amount of time on the Brazillian Buttlift infomercial, convinced I too could have the butt of a super model, but at the end of the day, I know I won't do those DVD's, so I never actually buy them, lol.

Time since surgery: 16 months

B - 2 string cheeses

S - 1/2 leftover boar's head turkey wrap minus the wrap

L - TBD (I'm thinking waba grill veggie and steak bowl, no rice)

D - Leftover bowl if I go to waba (I really need to go grocery shopping :)

W/V - On track now, thanks to the post reminding me I forgot to take them this morning

E - None planned

Have a great Thursday everyone!

Good morning everyone!  AV, the outfit sounds cute.  I love statement necklaces . . . on everyone else.  I swear, I don't know how to wear them.  Maybe it comes from years of having a neck that was too large for most necklaces to look right, who knows.  But I love to admire them on others.  As far as lifting goes, I do a circuit class at the gym once or twice a week.  We do weights that target every area of the body.  I do notice a difference and love how strong the class makes me feel.  I think you should try it!

Here's my food plan:

B:  Smoked salmon with a tablespoon of cream cheese (lox and bagel without the bagel)

S:  Dannon Light & Fit with PB@

L:  up in the air.  I'm an attorney and I have a court appearance at 1:30 so I'll pick up something along the way

D:  New York Strip steak and Brussels Sprouts

TOTALS (without lunch) Cal.: 428; Protein: 57g, Carbs: 15g, Fat: 11g

You rock that outfit, girl!!! Size 12... sounds good! I think lifting is what I need to do, too. What am I talking about, any form of exercise is what I need to do!  LOL. But, I think lifting will definitely help with toning your arms, core, etc. Just look at DC Girl... I think she said that her PS said you need a strong core so they have to do less tightening during the tummy tuck. And, I don't know about you, but I am going to HAVE plastic surgery! I am thinking about joining AnnyBannany and Dodgergirl on the arm challenge... I even dug out my hand weights!

My menu today:

B1: Tea and Truvia

B2: 3 oz Shrimp with little butter and teryiakyi

L; Wrap on a La Banderita low carb tortilla, with 2 oz Hillshire Farm honey roasted turkey, 1 slice Kraft American Cheese, Mt. Olive NSA bread and butter pickle chips and mustard

D: 3 oz filet mignon (this is my 1st try at a real steak, so I told my husband to get me a fllet...LOL), 1/4 GG steamer vegetables

S: Strawberry protein shake (small)

Totals:  Calories - 784, Protein - 72, Carbs - 52 (that darn Truvia), Sugar - 21, Fat - 38

Oh, and thanks for the pb coupon, I had some Vermont Peanut Butter White Avalanche (white chocolate and peanut butter) at the house and my son loved it. I am sure PB and Co is just as good... so I am going to use the coupon to get me and my son some.

Everyone have a beautiful day!!!

I am very late in the game today. I had to drive my daughter half way to meet her boyfriend. So I spent 4 hours in the car. I don't mind driving but it makes me tired. 

B:Egg whites with some cheese and sausage

L:Salad with chicken and avocado

D:Shrimp from Costco

S:Cheese stick

Vitamins are in water is going down. Exercise is weeding the flower beds. We had some rain last week and they get out of control fast. 
I would like to do some strength training. 

Have a good night.
