Hey folks...not sure if you noticed but we have a daily food log going on. It's the one where you see a date every day - you all are welcome to join in so we don't have to look in two places.

i'm really bad w/the daily posts - cause my plans & ADD don't follow suit.

i like posting the following day - previous meals to give the full G2. i can start on the day - but it would be back tracking....i'm good either way however.

I recently decided No goody drinks for me (last week) so I have been good since Saturday and have yet to see it reflect on the scale. However, I am trying to not get dissapointed and keep on keeping on.

msb - when i deprived & didn't see results......i eased back into moderation.

I wish my Gym had a rowing class that I could try... But If it's tough on labs I am a sissy hehe

i SWORE the chest pains were a heart attack.....no - just muscles never used.

and those are not the muscles to be used in rowing - biceps/traps/back.......after 2 months i'm working the right ones.

taking a row class in the AM - lets see if i can type afterwards:)

still raining here - DONE w/it!

b- 3oz 2% cottage cheese

l- 3oz artichoke/cheese stuffed chicken breast

s- mixed nuts/wasabi peas

d- *making leek & bean soup*

i usually post the next morning of what i ate the previous day - but maybe if i write it ON the day .... i'll stick to it.

i have random food days & today is one

b- 3oz artichoke/feta stuffed chicken breast

l- 4 chicken pot stickers

s- veggies & hummus

d- cream of potato soup w/cheese & pancetta

Labs- My gym used to be 24 hour fitness but bought out by Ozfitness last year. There is a spa as well. I don't do public pools for any reason haha. I want to go in the steam room or sauna though but only if I know no one will show up. guess that's a trip for the middle of the night eh? haha

LOLOLOL

see i don't mind the sauna/steam - in fact would LOVE it; i have a pool & don't need others funk...., yes germaphobe here:)

good morning all~

busy wkend & it flew by, w/mine & DH's 2 yr bandiversary yesterday.

the 7lbs i was up - down 4 this AM......whoo hoo!!!!!!!!!!!

slim - i'm back in the gym tomorrow after a wk off.

lots of moving around / packing & tossing stuff - i hope to get back into my routine tom AM (much earlier - as i have to be home by 830 for contractors) but still:)

i go to 24hr fitness - it's the only gym nearby me, though they are building a LA Fitness which is intriguing to DH, as it has spa/pool - etc.

me i don't do public pools -

ok - lots lots lots of coffee:)

msb - hope your feeling better today!

that's a great time msb!

i really need the gym, have to have a place to go......also i do spinning & rowing and only have a treadmill at the house.

it's too hot in TX to have a normal outdoor routine - oustide the 4 months of rainy/fall, it's 90+ most days -

ktork - DH and i play tigger golf on wii several nights a wk & while not a great workout we will also do a lot of the balance games on wii fit.

i love the skiing / snowboarding:)

is it friday yet ????

b - slice WW toast w/ 1 scrambled egg

l- tuna salad in romaine lettuce cup

s- caprese salad

d- chicken tortialla soup (lots of cheese ) & some chips

slim - go to beth's FB page, she has a video of a kid having a TOTAL MELTDOWN when his mom took away some video game.

i like the pouch test - but i'm wide open and still prefer to EAT my food vs drinking it.. i have a bunch of food to cook over the next 2 days as my downstairs kitchen gets demolished on friday.........so freezing up meals to have & heat up - in the upstairs kitchen.

close w/my closets - still taking 'puter breaks...

msb - evil twin ..... that's hillarious!

DH has always wanted to be in the same rm w/me during a bikini wax - ummm NO!

hahaha GLOUC, DD guilted ya - but good for ya!!!

if not for TIVO, i would never watch tv - i actually have biggest loser from last night on while i get caught up on laundry & cleaning out the closets. my last purge of the house it the master closet & hallway one.....all are packed w/STUFF that must go & go today:)

slim - hope you had a better day.

need to get off the puter' and get back to work - i'm procrastinating and pacing around the closet isn't going to get it done

today - ....

b- slice cran raisin bread toast w/butter

s- bowl of edamame

l- roasted chicken leg

d- bowl of goulash (lots of veggies)

* glouc - glad DD is feeling better

* angie - DH is a fan of heroes. perfect time for me to get caught up on Y&R for the wk when he watches a few shows i have no desire to see.

* i did 1 day of the pouch test & that's about it - had upset tummy this AM and wanted toast w/butter. snacking on edamame now and am making a pot of tortialla soup.

i feel bloated, made the mistake of getting on the scale - wish men had perimenopause, got a period - had cramps & their nips could cut glass. yeah in that kinda mood:)

check back ltr:)

b- mango/orange/banana vivanno

l- tortialla soup

s- pumpkin latte'

d- tortialla soup

see how many days this 5day pouch goes......LOL

chocolate, chocolate chip mayo cake.

what is that????

ask glouc - big BIG fan of mayo:)

Bust out those jillian arms and get to rowin! Just dont have a heartattack

msb - you should have seen DH and i this wkend.....SUCH a wkout hauling/dumping/lifting.

he had enough energy to go get some tortialla soup and is back in bed......

so get this pjtp - he has all this vacation time that he'll never use before jan 1 & tells me at lunch that he plans on taking off every monday/friday for the next 3 months. it will help a bunch on the remodel - but WHERE IS MY TIME????? lol

angie - that's a GREAT NSV.

i remember the first bikini wax after losing enough to feel comfortable in doing so again - aside from the wax heading a bit further south, i LOVED taking care of myself again.....

CONGRATS & hope the hubby enjoys..

msb- i doubt i'll do the whole 5 days, i just have ZERO restriction at the moment.

my fill had to be rescheduled from last wk to next - so i'm trying to get some self control; as i've allowed myself to be a bit bad. hitting farmers mkt tomorrow and stocking up on the "good" stuff. DH said i was looking volumptious - i say that's the added lbs as of late

I have a hard time eating most meats. What are some high protein band-friendly foods? I do yogurt and a latte almost every day. I like beans and tuna too. Any other ideas?

Sabrina:)

hi sabrina - here are a few items i keep in my fridge/freezer

greek yogurt

hummus/avocado dip w/veggies

eggs (egg salad)

fish

edamame

lentils

cottage cheese / cheeses

multiposting hurts my head this am - so free stylin'...

* did make meatloaf & risotto last night - 5 day pouch test started this AM w/a starbucks vivanno

* fried food @ fair - Gross actually. i took one bite of the fried butter and spit it back into my napkin - one of the nastiest tastes EVER.

* i would love a snow day:) i don't want to live in a snowy environment - but i do love visiting.....

* took puppy lab (goose) to vet for round 2 of shots, she's gained 11lbs in 3wks - going to be a BIG girl i think

* EXHAUSTED on this rainy monday. DH and i have been in total clean sweep moded since i got home on sat morning. we have a 40yrd dumpster for the kitchen/bath demo and we filled it up w/"stuff". i have to order a new one to be here tomorrow for my contractor - because we have it 3/4 of the way filled up....LOL. DH took today off to finnish - but guess who is still sleeping. was up till 1:30 this am clearing out the garage, w/a some wine & tunes. wish i could crawl back into bed....

happy monday!!!

ps - msb, meatballs sound good - have tortialla soup on tap today.......see how many days i make it in the pouch test:)

slim - i will join back up tomorrow.......ate off the charts the last 4 days * tomorrow i am starting the 5 day pouch test to check my bad self.

thanks for creating.....

my protein levels during weight loss & maintenance have always been between 50-60g.

never lost hair & have kept a wide variety of diet......just depends on what works for you, you may have to play around - as i have found maintenance to be just as tricky as the weight loss stage.

i should mention i'm pretty active & carbs (good ones) are just as important to my diet.

it took between 30-35lbs before others noticed - i could tell around 20 gone that my 2nd chin was fadding.

Hi everyone! Man, it has been a short weekend. I spent the weekend shopping for DS. He must be going through a growth spurt. He shot up over the last month or so. Labmom, he is now as tall as we are (not that it takes much to get to our height ). He is thrilled. He found he is now taller than my mom. He loves that!

Krtork-nothing wrong with being a proud mama! I enjoy hearing about your kids.

Labmom & Glou-I am so glad that you all had fun. There was no doubt in my mind that you would. I lived vicariously through you all's FB posts. Too funny.

Krtork-I read about your crockpot dinner too late to actually make it in the crockpot, but I did have to have stroganoff after reading about it. It is cooking now.

Msb-I hope that you are having fun (and winning) at the casino!

Hopefully everyone had a wonderful weekend.

slim - i'm OK w/being vertically challenged:) - LOL, but does sound like son is in a major growth spurt!!!!

ktork - love the kid stories, especially DD's rowing. i have picked it up as of late, and i love the upper body wkout - never feel the need to apologize!

MSB - how much did you take from the blue hairs????

glouc - you starting the monday diet like me tom????? LOLOL , had a great time - 14hrs of sleep last night. HA

stroganoff sounds wonderful - think i have all the ingredients too.., hmmmmmmmm, that or meatloaf.

back to football & getting ready for contractors tom - fun times:)

Pictures could be a little sketch for your get together! LOL! Can't wait to see them! Don't over do it!

hey ktork -

glouc, KC and myself had a GREAT time.

i think we all need to do the 5 day pouch test, as there was not much food we didn't try over the 2 days....

hope everyone is having a good wkend!!!

*test*
