30 Day Challenge Day 19

Day 19...we're getting deep into this...How are YOU doing?

I seem to take one step forward...2 steps back...

I was up 1.6 lbs. today...didn't take in excess calories in the last 2 days, but took way too much sodium in yesterday w/ chicken broth and my stir fry leftovers and some popcorn last night.  Popcorn is EVIL!  If they only made popcorn flavored cottage cheese that was crunchy, I'd have it made.  Have to cut out popcorn.  That, and the effects of 2 vicodin after my arm pit staph surgery from the day before...

Today...
have exercised 30 minutes
taken vits/supplements
protein latte coffee
Oh Yeah protein drink...got 2 samples...think I'll try one
BBQ meat off sandwich from FFA fundraiser at school-lunch
SF Yogurt
Top Sirloin for dinner
Protein, not popcorn for snack tonight

Must not eat popcorn, must not eat popcorn, must not eat popcorn!

We CAN do this.

Guess I'm doing okay.  I ate a lot more yesterday than normal--all good stuff but I'm starting to feel better so I actually had an appetite.  Didn't hop on the scale this morning so I don't know where my weight is right now.  Have 32 oz of water sitting here, vitamins are in.  Have a banana & Kashi oatmeal for breakfast.  I haven't planned my menu for the rest of the day. Need to go to HEB after I get off work.

Hope everyone has a great day.  Remember protein firs****er & vitamins!!  Love you guys,

I'm with ya Karla...I'm UP today too.  I had 121 gm of protein, calories were good, exercised TWICE and still I'm UP...WTH???

Plan for today is more of the same...protein shake for breakfast, steak and fruit for lunch, SF/FF pudding and pretzel crisps for snacks and meat and salad for dinner.  Don't know what else to do but I'm getting ticked at not being able to get off these last few pounds. 

Off to work...will read later.

I'm not up or down any lbs this am, so that makes me happy. I ate crap last night because I wanted nothing, nothing sounded or looked good, so I ended up snacking on pretzels, then mini rice cakes w/PB.

I've been trying to run/walk every other day, but I woke up SICK this morning, or someone stuck flames down my throat while I was asleep. So, I probably won't be running tonight. Just means laundry will get done and the dog will get a bath (shhh don't tell him). Food is pretty much the same as it has been all week, and I will be making some pork chops and squash cassarole for dinner.

Gonna play devils' advocate here, darlin..

ummm,  any chance you might be at GOAL!!!!???

just sayin....

love you!

Oh honey, I WISH I were at goal...you of all people know how hard it is to lose those last few pounds.  I was down a little further before the holidays but then had that stupid 5 lb gain.  I'm SO CLOSE to being "normal" in my weight and no longer "overweight", that's all I'm asking for.  No low balling the numbers for this "old" lady.  I KNOW I'll never be a size 6, lol.  I keep thinking all this exercise is going to help but not so far.  I'll just keep plodding along...still got a little over a week left in the challenge.

 Love you too!!

I'm SO CLOSE to being "normal" in my weight and no longer "overweight", that's all I'm asking for.

ummm.. were you quoting me in every post I made for the last year?  That is exactly where I was too.. I have 10 pounds to get off to be NORMAL and not overweight.  I DO understand your need to get there, TRUST me.

You do still have time, and if you are PERFECT in your eating I"m sure it would happen.  IF you aren't perfect, it might happen anyway.  

Just know that I think you are there but I am not your judge or jury.  Heaven knows it's not ALL about ME...

(much of this said tongue in cheek but ALL said with love!) 

 

 

I'm hanging in there weightwise as well, down .6 pounds, don't know what was wrong yesterday either.  All I wanted to do was eat.  Went out to lunch with a former colleague and then went to dinner with a couple of more of them.  Somehow the scale is still down after eating all that food.  Let's see how things go today.......

Hugs, Mari

Morning Karla,

I have been playing yo you with my weight.   Mainly yoing upwards.    Hate that.   I went back to the gym this week and have really been working my buns off trying to get off holiday weight gain.    I was thrilled this AM to get on the scale and see a 2 lb loss.   Hopefully this is the beginning of the end of the weight gain.     I am going to continue what I have been doing this week and see how things go.   I feel real upbeat today.    Told myself that I was going to just drop out of this 30 day challenge thing since it was really getting me down but thank God I took the bulls by the horn monday....bit the bullet and hit the gym hard...really hard all week long.   I am taking the weekend off from working out because I am going to be so busy.    Hope everything stays the same or goes down more.   I will workout on my Wii this weekend.


Hugs and blessings ~~~ Vivian

Wow, 19 days already.  Don't think we have ever stuck to a challenge this long, have we?

I am back down AGAIN.. still in my range which now seems to be 155 to 157.. Today i'm at 155.4 from 156.4 yesterday.

I too ate alot yesterday or it seemed like it, including the rest of my baked potato all afternoon long.  Last night was junk again because I am NOT perfect,  and it was not a good idea.  Had terrible dumping with much less food than I normally eat, but again, it tells me to slow down.  I got hungry and just wolfed it down too fast.
Back at it again today and I need to be more prepared for food at home for dinner.  Will work on that this weekend.
