cal - 1474 carb - 56 prot - 102

b - m.cereal (I love this)
s - broccoli salad, curves shake
l - 10 large shrimp, curry sauce
s - 3 triscuits, adkins shake
d - cottage cheese, berries
s - broccoli salad (1/2 serv)


I've been trying to get my calories up -
just been keeping them too low (along with trying to keep the carbs low).
I think that may be the cause for my stall/very slow losses lately.

so, taking them up - and I lost 3 lbs this week (per Curves scale!)
Will stick to this for next week (and beyond) - and see what happens.

So, this means that you're below 200, right? I'm about to wake up the entire household here jumping up and down and cheering.

cal = 1652 carb = 52 net carb = 38 protein = 123

have been reporting full carbs, per Curves plan - but also including 'free' foods which I shouldn't.
going to report both.
also managed to get the calorie count up, but is this too high?
won't know for a day or two - but I did increase the workout intensity, so probably ok.

b - 2 eggs,3 bacon, 1 slice lc toast
s - curves shake, apple crisp (shouldn't have, but was ravenous)
l - chipped beef rollups, broccoli salad
s - curves shake, 2 slices swiss cheese
d - shrimp, curry dip
s - 1/4 cup lc ice cream


went for mammagram today, wasn't too bad. Old age and saggy boobs sometimes can be a benefit
worked REAL HARD at curves. really intensified it. will do again Friday, tomorrow at Curves won't work quite so hard. But still going.
Finally seeing a podiatrist about my foot (nasty bunion) Friday.

The ankle is worrying me too. Maybe he can give me an opinion as to whether to see the orthopedist or not. Ankle has plate and 5 screws in in from accident, and noticed this morning that the ankle bone 'feels' weird. Almost like something is sticking out - screw? bone? spur? not sure, but it is tender to touch too.

D*mn, getting old is hard.

cool. I haven't had a mock danish for a long time - don't know why I get away from the things I like and don't go back. Gonna have to have one tomorrow.

In your signature (at top, User CP, Edit Signature), you can add little graphics - it should show you a selection.

in Messages, you need to go into Advanced reply to get the selection box. I think we can have up to 5 now. :cook:

was a decent day food wise. not too bad, hit the 1500 cal. protein is too high, but
better than carbs I guess.

heat patch on it.

d - country spinach salad/ranch dressing
s - celery/cream cheese

boy, did I make a mistake on the Bob Evans salad before. I had gone to their
nutrition site and found the numbers for the salad. didn't realize the standard
dressing (hot bacon) was listed down below. SHEESH!!! Shoulda figured it was
too good to be true. 35 carbs for the dressing. Was getting one a week - wont
do that anymore.

so, got ranch this time. It just isn't the same. Will be cheaper and better for
me just to stick with McD salads from now on when I need one.
Live and learn.

Tomorrow is moving day, for DD stuff. had a good exercise day. Rode the bike to Curves, did the workout, rode it home. very proud of myself.

weird day. Moved DD furniture down (3 hr drive each way) & she
didn't want us to stay. She had too much to do. Yeah, like we
don't, but took a whole day on the road to get it to her.
ungrateful thing, but I brought her up so half to take some of the
blame.

We did meet her boyfriend, and were all quite nice. But I could tell
she didn't want us hanging around. Oh Well.

Late, late dinner, and I needed to add in carbs/cals so hit the
Atkins products. You gotta do what ya gotta do.
stupid McD's gave me crispy chicken instead of grilled, so ended
up giving chicken to the dog.
Wasn't real hungry anyhow.

At 200.5 this morning. was going to take a bike ride, then it was raining so blew it off - but then it stopped. A little cool, but did the rid anyhow. 2 miles - only 15 minutes - I can afford that time in the morning. so, as long as it's not raining (or snowing) - I plan to do that every morning. Kept thinking I had to get up so early, but it didn't take long and who says I have to be in the office at 7 in the morning. no one is looking for me until 8 anyhow.
so, did my 2 mile ride (drugstore and back - exactly) - going to curves. I will get into the 100s by the end of the week!!!!! I will, I will.

Stupid, stupid @#&*$^(@#*&$ scale.
Curves scale said 204.5, which is only 1/2 #, but my nice home scale said I lost 1 #, and am on the cusp of the 199s.
just irritating. But I've used my scale since I started, and that is the only one that counts.
