Anyone Losing Weight?

Gina · 06-26-2011, 12:06 PM

I see everyone is watching their weigh and you can add me in. I don't really count calories just started eating healthy thanks to Dr. Oz lol . I normally run a BP of 110/70 but the past year I have been a little higher so my dr. checks me every three mts. I go back this Thurs. to see. I have had lots of stress lately , not good I keep everything bottled inside but I have been working through my issues. So hopefully my BP is back to normal this week..

Along with eating healther I have cut out most sweets I no longer crave for cake and cookies as I use to. I indulge every once in awhile. I am addicted to honey roasted peanuts don't know if they are fattening or not, but I think nuts are healthy. Anyone know about how fattening peanuts are? I eat plenty of grilled chicken and salads, I am feeling like a rabbit. lol I just love the orange sherbet ice cream bars they dont seem so high in fat either.. That is my treat. I also eat lots of yogurts to.

As far as exercising as I mention I take Zumba classes twice a week and that works for me....

Gina, honey roasted peanuts are pretty high in calories and fat. There are approx 150 calories and 14 grams of fat in one ounce. That's probably about 3o nuts, depending on the size of the nuts.

Well......I BLEW IT TODAY...lol. My wonderful son brought home a Little Caesar's pizza....stupid stupid me....I ate 4 freak'n pieces and 2 of the crazy bread. What the heck is wrong with me!! I was under on my calories yesterday, but I'm 748 over today. I need my head examined. I'll start over tomorrow.

That's the spirit, Janet. Just get back on the wagon! Today is done.

I'm really liking the Lose It app. It helps me to be able to see what I have eaten and for some reason it has been good motivation.

Gina · 06-26-2011, 05:49 PM

Oh thank you so much Gayle for that info. I have been eating them by the handfuls. I should have realized anything that yummy is bad for you. lol I will no longer be eating them daily

Janet don't beat yourself up , once in awhile you are allowed to fall off the wagon, tomorrow is a new day.

I really like the app too so thank you so much for letting me know about it. It really is motivating seeing all the information. Guess I should have looked at it before I ate the darn pizza.

I know it's okay once in awhile Gina....LOLOL....but I just started Friday or Saturday. I'll do better tomorrow. Also...I found a bigger purse that I just fell in love with. I got it for 1/2 price so I only paid $15.00 for it. My IPad fits in it just right now if I'm at a restaurant...I can check it!!

That is GREAT! I carry a backpack purse and my iPad will fit into it also. I love having it with me when I'm out and about. I have Lose It on my iPhone so when I'm at a restaurant, I can look up things also. It really helps.

What kind of purse, Janet? Did you get a Vera Bradley?

If you watch calories, and spread it out over a week, you can make up for those extra pizza calories more or less over 7 days, Janet.

Gina, I was eating honey roasted cashews by the handful, until I read the Caloric content! Sad!!!

My summer friends are up for the summer! I didn't realize it was so late im June! I am so glad they are here. Now, I have to work in seeing Jessie and enjoying being with my friends. She is very understanding, and knows that I love the pool and wait for summer all year, but she isn't feeling well. I didn't go to her yesterday because all of them had a sore throat kind of thing.

She has not been feeling well from her MS for about 4 months now. She is tired, has pain, has been dropping things, and her cognition (which I don't mention to her) has been off. I am praying that it passes quickly.

Send her your prayers please.

I'm still doing well on my diet. I had 3.5 oz. of steak tonight, but I budgeted for it so I didn't go over. I had grilled okra and steamed squash with it, so that helped me to not go over my calorie allotment. Gary bought these steaks one day he went shopping. He was so proud of himself, they looked like REALLY good steaks (and they were). I didn't have the heart to tell him I really shouldn't eat it - so I was just very very careful today before dinner.

I still get hungry sometimes, but either I fight it or eat some sort of snack. I'm feeling A LOT better, so I think I can keep it up. The really hard part will be next week in Oklahoma. Gary's sisters try to outdo each other in cooking, particularly snacks and desserts. Plus we will go out to eat A LOT. I hope I can keep it together for 7 days!!!!!
