Fabulous Friday

Good morning!! The Friday we hoped for on Monday has finally arrived!!! I've already been to a garage sale where I bought a "few treasures" and had my high protein shake for breakfast. I've got the "shakes" right now, so I'll probably eat that Power Bar that I was craving yesterday!!!  :o) I did a lot of baking last night and resisted every bit of it!! (Of course seeing as how everything had wheat in it, it was not too much of a stretch!!) Did not do my walking video this morning, but between the garage sale and my walk across campus at work this morning I'm doing OK in the exercise department. So, What have YOU done right  today?  Check in and encourage everyone with your  "heroic feats"!!! Have a GREAT weekend,           Hugs to all,   Piggybabe

Hey, sounds like you're off to a great start!!! Sorry about the shakes~I hate that feeling! Today's going ok for me. Eating right so far. Took the boys shopping for school clothes this morning. Buying things with long sleeves is kinda depressing b/c I don't like fall/winter, but it's gotta be done b/c it will be here before we know it! Gotta run to the school at 3pm to see what classes they're in and then pick up some crickets for our green anul. Probably won't walk today unless dh gets home early and it doesn't rain, but that's ok b/c I'll get back at it tomorrow! Have a great weekend!!!!!!!!!!!!

Wow Tracy!! I LOVE fall and winter. I guess living in Louisiana is QUITE different than living in Maryland!!!  What are the crickets for?  Sounds interesting... Hope you have a GREAT weekend as well. I'm sure you'll get in plenty of exercise with the boys!!! Hugs,    Piggy

The crickets are for our little chamelion type lizard called a green anul. My son brought him home from school at the end of last year and "Zippy" lives on, LOL!!!!!!

Sounds great Piggy! Not sure I could have avoided the baked goodies. 1 hour of cardio this morning 70 ozs of water in Very healthy eating so far  Just came back from Pilates Happy Friday!

Happy Friday to you too Donna. Glad you found time in between exercising to join in. You are sooooo inspiring!!! I don't see you having a problem with baked goods at all. Of course, I'm no****ching you all the time, but I don't really know how you eat anything with all tha****er!!! LOL You are doing GREAT and I'm so happy for you. Have a super weekend!!!   Hugs,   Piggy

Sounds like you had a great day so far!   I have decided I need to give up peanut butter.  It is a devil food!  I started by putting a tablespoon on my apple, then it was 2 tablespoons and it has now graduated to me just taking a big scoop out of the jar and eating it off the spoon.  I count it on spark people and when you look at 180 calories for 2 tablespoons of PB, it's just not worth it.  Is so yummy though.  I will mourn my Jiff Extra Crunchy.  I have trouble with nuts in any form.  I don't know how people can eat 12 almonds or 25 pistachios! Other then the PB problem I have been doing great with food and I drank all my "required" water for the day.  I am going out to dinner tonight so I cut out my morning snack so I can have some extra calories for dinner.  I don't make bad choices, but everything is so fattening when you eat out!  I guess that's why it tastes so good!   I swear they find a way to make grilled chicken bad for you! Have a great weekend! Erin

Hi Erin, I totally relate to eh Jiff Extra Crunchy. I do buy the  "lowfat" version when it's available, but that is not very often!! I've considered giving it up several times, but have not quite arrived... I just eat mine plain out of the jar, too. You're right about it not being worth the amount of calories.  Maybe I will reconsider my need to give it up, too. I LOVE nuts, too and have to be REALLY careful about buying them. They are hard to  control! Hope you make GREAT choices at dinner. Don't skimp too much earlier though, because you don't want to get to the restaurant starving!!!  Have a FAB weekend.  Love,   Piggy

Good Day to all my friends here.  Its been abusy day at the clinic that i work at.  Today has not been the greatest for me but i will pull up my bootstraps or whatever and get on with the show!!  My plan is not as bright as the rest of the week.  I agree that Jiff extra crunchy is the devil!!!  I also eat it with a spoon.  When this jar is empty there will not be one to replace it !!   I will be around this weekend on my home computer if anyone else has something to say.  I will answer if i can or write to help me.  Have a great weekend !!Sheila

Good to hear from you Sheila. Sorry you've had a "not so good " day. Maybe we should all make a "road trip" and bring our Jiff Extra Crunchy and throw it in a big pile and burn it!! Whatcha think? Hope you have a better weekend. Sorry I won't be here to chat. Keep the "home fires" burning for me!!    Hugs,   Piggy
