My food choices could have been better today. Will do better tomorrow. Had a one egg omlet for brunch, two Italian Sausages (at least they were small) for lunch and some baked turkey for dinner. Only veggies would have been in the omlet.... Very bad. Was just so busy today doing errands and housework. Know I didn't get nearly enough water in either. Tomorrow is a new day.

OMG he is cute! Thanks for stopping by and signing my Journal! Will come and visit your now

Up early with the "twins" again and doing my "bedchecks" with the older children... God, being a mother to teenagers is trying sometimes!

Anyway, having my coffee in the nice and quiet again...... I do so love weekends! Will do much better on my eating choices today and get my veggies and water in..... Know I will feel better for doing it. Have to get mom's bday dinner together... making her a mexican meal today.... so won't be able to have much, if any of it..... just make a taco salad (faux one of course) and I'll be good to go. Still have to make her bday cake and assemble the enchiladas..... lots to do today before it is all ready, but will get it all together. Have to make mom's day special!

Thanks for the story in my journal....it was so touching, you're a special person! I posted another pic there of my basset with the baby if you're interested

I hope mom's day is wonderful!! Happy Birthday to her!

Thanks very much for your kind words. I enjoyed visiting your journal!

I must watch my carbs and calories CAREFULLY the next few days. While i did not cheat over the weekend, I certainly could have done better on my water, tea and foods..... Will get some salad of some sort in for dinner tonight. Lunch is going to be tuna salad with wasabi mayo..... brought some l/c crackers, but don't think I will have them with it..... Going to try to severely restrict my carbs and keep them down to no more than 25 per day this week. I think going up to 35 or so like I did over the weekend makes me feel worse.... probably too many carbs for me at this time since I still have weight to loose. Went walking in the woods with the dogs and DH last night. I was so nice....... Sat down by the creek and just enjoyed being in there... Will walk again this evening, probably not as long as it is going to be busy trying to get dinner and homework done with the children.... Still need to devote "some" time to my exercise.....

Two more people at the office noticed my weight loss today.... What a motivator to do the right thing with this WOL! Still a little upset with myself that I didn't really have ANY veggies over the weekend and too many carbs with that Mexican meal for my mom's bday. Oh well.... I will get back on track today! Figured yesterday's carbs were around 40 and that is WAY TOO MANY! Drinking tons of water today so hopefully that will help me get rid of the excess!

texanflowr · #52 03-07-2005, 05:34 PM

Had my two cups of salad with tuna salad. Basically had to force myself to eat it today. Don't know why I am not hungry today..... must of been all that MEXICAN food I over indulged in yesterday..... Well, at least I didn't cheat, just too many carbs for me right now. Will have another salad for dinner tonight and some type of meat... probably chicken. Busy day today at the office..... typical Monday :(

texanflowr · #53 03-07-2005, 11:35 PM

Menus were pretty much on target for today. Had the l/c yogart AGAIN for breakfast, tuna salad on lettuce for lunch and baked pork roast with melted cheese and green beans for dinner. NO NUTS TODAY! Trying to catch up with my water drinking this evening. Have a few more glasses to drink and then I will be good. Made the children a cake tonight, but while it looks good, not worth blowing this for.. Maybe have some blueberries with cream later if I can't get my mind off the cake. Otherwise, I'm good for the night. Have to watch the next few days of carb consumption since I know I went over yesterday at mom's birthday. A few too many carbs yesterday, but did not CHEAT!

Hello there! Wanted to say thanks for your kind words in my journal - so sweet of you!!!

I hear you on the *nuts* issue... I could easily lose myself in a bag of almonds any day!

Sounds like you are really doing amazing with this woe!

hugs
Kelly

texanflowr · #55 03-08-2005, 10:38 AM

Thanks for stopping by again Kelly.... Going to visit your journal as well

Having my coffee and "forcing" children to get up and get ready for school...... The life of a parent....... Will have all of my WATER today! No exceptions. More later.... its a busy morning.

BrattyChelle · #56 03-08-2005, 07:13 PM

How's that water coming??

heykim · #57 03-08-2005, 08:44 PM

i bet you DIDNT get your money back from that bank... i made a pymt on line for a credit card in december.. didnt show up the next day (usually shows that it was posted at least) so i figured it didnt go through.. made ANOTHER pymt (each time so a zero balance) they WOULDNT give my money back... said it would stay in the acct... i could use it... so i went to town (100 miles) and tried to use it for cash.. wouldnt let me have ANY.. they said because i had paid TWICE they had put a hold on the account.. AGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH dorks..
they said they fixed it.. so i tried AGAIN to get cash back... NOPE... called AGAIN and they said i could USE THE CARD for merchandise but the hold for the cash was still in effect..ooooooooooooh man.. sorry.. didnt mean to rant but it STILL left a sore spot on my mind when you mentioned your account..*L*
anywho... glad ya are steering clear of the nuts.. they are REALLY easy to overdo... and good to get rid of the bars... addictive as heck!
you sound like you are still hanging in great! good job rhonda... and ^5 on skipping the cake..;-)

texanflowr · #58 03-08-2005, 08:49 PM

You are right about the bank Kim! They REFUSED to give me the cash back. Same story as yours.... you can use it on merchandise..... Like I wanted to go and charge up another $225 in merchandise??????? Excuse me, but that is why I am paying off the credit cards! I am still HOT! Can ya tell? Hey, thanks for stopping by my journal... you are so good to do that. Yeah, the nuts are far far away.... Think I forgot myself where I hid them

Gave Mom all the l/c bars when she was over for her bday.... She likes them and I LIKED them too. That was the problem. Far too easy to use one of those as a meal replacement or snack and really not get the benefit of eating HEALTHY NO PROCESSED FOODS! Still on my ACV

Thanks Kim!

heykim · #59 03-08-2005, 08:55 PM

well... fortunately for ME i was going to use it for anniversary presents anyway... but it STILL pissed me off.*L*.. i was always paying off the entire balance each month...thats what i get for doing it the right way..*L*

yeah.. i liked one of the atkins bars frozen but i havent had any since january 1st or something like that... i often thought about how much GOOD lc stuff i could have for the same carbs and calories..*L*.. but as long as i had the habit of having em it didnt really matter WHAT i thought..it was a habit pure and simple..*L*
any noticable changes in sleep or energy from the ACV?

texanflowr · #60 03-08-2005, 11:33 PM

Thanks for stopping by again Kim..... as always, I enjoy having a post from you and reading your journal. Will post the replies in your journal since I have not stopped by to visit you today!

Sitting here drinking MORE coffee tonight...... Guess I can handle that since I have already had all my water in for the day, plus two cups of green tea! Not sure if I should be having this cause it is peppermint flavored, but not sweetened so guess a few cups won't hurt me. No info on the side of the panel of this Millstone stuff, but won't be drinking it every day anyway.

Went to Target today and bought the two dvd set of Walking Off the Pounds and some weights. Figure if I cannot get out and walk in the evenings due to family commitments, I can at least get up earlier in the mornings and do it before I leave for the office. Seems like I never have any time to do anything once I arrive home with dinner and helping children with homework..... Will have to make time for myself earlier in the mornings for my exercise routine and then walk on the weekends.

Had some lettuce with leftover cod fish and a very small amount of l/c dressing for lunch today. Dinner..... guess it will be baked chicken again since the family is having lasagna and I dare not even try any of it..... Know how I made it and it certainly WAS NOT l/c!

Littlest son wants to exercise with me now with our new Walking off the Pounds so I am going to go for it! DH is not here so maybe I won't feel sooooooo embarassed by looking like a middle aged woman trying to do this! It will be good for me though
