Something you did today...in the positive

So...what did you do today that was positive and helped you get focused and pointed in the right direction?

My 1st positive was breakfast. I pampered Christine with a homemade frittata. I pan fried (using cooking spray) mushrooms, onions, & green peppers. I put these in a pie pan and then covered with egg whites. I topped that off with bacon bits (Hormel) , tamed jalapenos, and fat free cheese. I baked it and then put it under the broiler to make the cheese all bubbly. All of that good eating for under 200 calories. That also included 29 grams of protein. I think I'm going to like this...

I went for a 2.25 run this morning, followed it with a protein drink;160 cal and 30 gm protein. I am making chili for dinner. Your breakfast sounds great. I am off to take my daughter and her friend to the Y for a swim.
Happy New Year

5'8 and lowest weight last year was 187. I was 191 in October before my hernia repair and TT. I know some of the weight gain is swelling but not all of it.

Hi Mary,

Fantastic on the run. That is a great way to start the day. Keep that up and you will get there.

I read your message about 1 1/2 hours ago. I dropped what I was doing and headed out for a walk. I don't know where you are in the country, but sure is cold here in Kansas. I had a wonderful walk and put in 6 units toward my January goal of 155 units. I just call each unit a 5 minute segment (or 12 units per hour). Then when I got back I put in another 4 units of hard shoveling snow. I am 10 units toward my goal in less than an hour. I had been planning to walk today, but it was before dark so that way I didn't have to do the treadmill.

Anyway, thanks for the inspriation to get off and running...so to speak. I think you can see those 180's once again by the end of the month.

John

P.S. Just as a reminder for anyone just observing; it is not necessary to give your weight unless you want to. You can just keep us informed with an occasional update of how may pounds you go down since the start of 2010.

I have upped my fluid intake, went to the outlet mall and parked very far away from the store I needed to go to, and made sure I walked fast, then spent another 30 minutes on the elliptical at the gym.  Will have a low fat high protein dinner tonight.

Gayle,

My wife got me turned on to hot tea. I never would have guessed that in a 100 years. While that did take my fluid intake up there a bit, I want to drink some plain water later on this evening. I've made it past my danger zone so far today and still going strong. For some reason I can do very well in a day, but come around 5-6 pm and things seem to fall apart. I'm not going to let that happen anymore. I like to see that you are following up that good intention with some quality exercise. Keep up the good work.

I  did the biggest looser with bob from on demand for 30minutes and i felt so good doing it and also i started journaling and it helped i want to loose about 10lbs. do you know how many calories a day i should be eating i weight 171.2 want to be 160 ? have a good day

Good job on the workout...keep that up.

I also commend you for journaling. I have found that to be the single tool that never fails me. I am determined to finish my journals this year in 2010. In 2009 I would start a journal and then just throw in the towel after about 4-5 pm. I am feeling really very good about where this year is starting.

As far as calories go I'm focusing in on between 1400-1500 as a male. I know that is actually pretty low and I take the chance of lowering my metabolism. I'm also trying to walk off 200 calories a day in exercise. That would bring my net cals down to 1200-1300. I'm also planning a small reward at the end of each week of 1000 cal splurge when I go out to dinner with my dear wife. I am going to limit it to once a week or even less.

I hope this helps....we all want to see you get to where you want to go.
