Kentucky Derby . . . . . . Keeping on Track

Re: Kentucky Derby . . . . . . Keeping on Track

Good evening everyone...just a night of homework awaiting me after the kids go to bed. I've been doing real bad on veggies today...

- Breakfast was only 5 sausage links, coffee and water
- Lunch was my package of TGIF Buffalo Wings...
- After work snack was 3 celery stalks dipped in a lil peanut butter

For dinner I'm thinking sauteed mushrooms, onions and peppers with fried Steak Umms... not sure yet...

Funny thing is, I am almost done with Day 7 of my Re-Induction, and my appetite has suppressed. Not sure if it's really my appetite being suppressed of if it's a mental thing, like I'm trying to block it out, because it's only been a week...

179, aren't you already in ONEDERLAND? Anywho... I will rejoice with you and do my HAPPY DANCE!!! GLORY TO GOD!

Is there a standard "onderland" (under 200)? Or what. My onderland is in the 50's/ 150anything. Thanks for doing the happy dance!

Re: Kentucky Derby . . . . . . Keeping on Track

Cat, girl I UNDERSTAND how you feel. Really I do. As much as I love my daughter and thank God for her, I feel so tied down at times. I never wanted to be a single parent but it still happened after 18 years of marriage. I constantly have to pray and ask God to help me not be resentful towards my ex because hey he still has his freedom, a good job, a new girlfriend with a business, home and luxury car to cater to him and life is just grand for him. No I am not jealous of him seeing her because I don't want him but I do get ticked off because I was left with all the responsibility. But I have to keep telling myself God is faithful and has an awesome plan for my life and He does for yours too Cat. Hang in there and stay focused on taking care of yourself. Honey I won't even get on the finances ok. Shopping for me???? What is that???? LOL...... Seriously I do buy myself something every now and then but most of my money goes to taking care of my daughter and yes I do get child support, I had it put in the divorce judgment because God knows I wouldn't see hardly a dime if I depended on home-skillet to send it.

Thank you Lashon. I don't get child support. I had the lunatic to sign away rights. God will work things out. I had no clue where he was or how to find him. I called a different branch of the bank and found out he was there yesterday and closed the account so my name is no longer on there. The teller also (accidentally) gave me his home address. Ha!! My daughter has been fine without him. She doesn't want for anything. I buy for her 10 times over before I'll buy for me. She's only going to be little once and I want her to have happy memories (as I'm sure you understand). She is my heart.

Re: Kentucky Derby . . . . . . Keeping on Track

I had a bit of a rough day. I had some bad news about a friend whose also a co-worker. It was a little depressing. I wanted a honey bun...but instead I ate some pork skins. I am going to bed so I am not tempted to eat away my issue.

I walked for 30 minutes at lunchtime and i did 150 abs and 25 pushups.

I am 10 days cheat free! This will keep me pumped up..hopefully.

Let's continue to make those tickers move in our favor ladies. Have a good night!

I'm sorry to hear that. Are you ok today?

Re: Kentucky Derby . . . . . . Keeping on Track

Good Morning Ladies!! Just checking in for today!!! Yesterday was another great day eating on plan, with no dairy and no processed meats. Im not going to lie, last night i had to talk to myself for over an hour because i sure wanted a bowl of cereal, those cravings were there, but i went another haour and talked myself out of it lol.

This morning i woke up and dreaded just plain old scrambled eggs without cheese so i forgot i use to make an omelette using rotel, and i have about 6 cans of that stuff, so i made an omelette with some and it was so much better than the plain eggs. Now if i could just give up my coffee i think i will be doing good lol. IM not sure i can let that go right yet. That is what i love to wake up and do is put a pot of coffee on and drink 2 cups while i sit at my computer and check emails and come here and check in. But i only drink it in the morning and after i have 2 cups i stop. To be honest i could drink coffee all day long but i dont.

I need to start excercising, just have not got the motivation right yet, i know that sounds so bad. I remember when i use to excercise like crazy, was up to hiking 6 miles over at this mtn by us, they got some great trails to go on, but i bet i couldnt make it 1 mile with all the hills and what not. I also have a gym membership and i have till sept of 2009 paid in full, i got a steal with that, when they opened i jumped in at a special and paid $330 for 3yrs and that was it, god i checked the price for my hubby or even my daughter to join and for one year they want $500, so i sure got a good deal, but those three years are up in sept of 2009, now if i could just get the momentum to get there.

Well ladies i sure hope you all have a blessed day and i will surely check in later on. Oh yeah beware you all start showing pics of your kids i will jump on that bandwagon, i love to show off my kids with pics, i call myself a picture whore lol, i love pictures and i have so many stored on my computer, the last thing i needed was a digital camera, i take pics of everything that my kids do, and me myself love the camera, im not camera shy, so i might have to show some off of my babies later. Ok ladies have a great day!!!

Great job resisting temptation (cravings). It will get easier over time. My first week I battled cravings big time. L-glutamine was a life saver.

Re: Kentucky Derby . . . . . . Keeping on Track

Good Morning Everyone - nice job on the craving for cereal Lisa. Cereal used to be one of my biggest downfalls.

As for me...yesterday was a good day. Ate out for two meals but believed I did well:

Lunch was a double chz burger (no bun, no catsup, no tomato) with side salad and 1/2 Diet Coke.

Then dinner was at BD's Mongolian BBQ, my custom sitr-fry contained, NY strip, Shrimp, Broccoli, Onion, Peppers, Bean Sprouts, sauteed only in butter.

I believe I stay induction friendly through the whole day. I feel pretty good today except for waking up with heartburn...

Everyone have a fantastic day!!!

Cereal was my food of choice. Honeycombs, Honey Bunches of Oats, Honey Oh's (yep loved them) and would eat bowl after bowl after bowl. No filter when it came to cereal.

Great job staying legal while eating out.

Good Morning! I was snowbound and home yesterday! 20 INCHES of snow for us! What a ride! I have pictures at home, thought I sent them to work, but it didn't work so I'll have to post tonight. I DID get my exercise in shoveling, plowing yesterday! Callanetics tonight, round 4 in 7 days! YAHOO! I'm telling you, I can see it already - am I just being ....weird? My sister actually told me I looked thinner in the hips/waist area before I could say anything! I think it is supposed to be done every other day. Haven't gotten to the gym this week, but will be able to tomorrow and through the weekend.


Lisa - Good luck at the doctors, let us know how it goes!!
Sher8 - the one thing I notice when I cut out junk food and bad carbs, my heartburn was gone! You'll see it soon!

Lashon - what a cutie! What a great smile!
Catherine - have you dug yourself out yet??
Kass - I'm sorry about your friend. I hope that today, you both can find some peace in the situation.
Sherri - I saw that last night, I can't believe the destruction! I'm praying as well!
Cat - you have been going through some rough times lately, I think you need the sun.. and of course a great vacation with ... us!

Glenda, Pyra and anyone I missed! Hang in there everyone, it's almost Friday for most of us!

Tracey

Yep, a vacation would be divine.

Great job sticking to your exercise!!

Re: Kentucky Derby . . . . . . Keeping on Track

Thanks Lashon and Tracy, I have been praying hard. I did not have the honey bun. Looks like things did not turn out as bad as they could have.

And yes Lashon...your little Brittany is a doll! Am I the only one with a young son. Most of you have daughters right?

Marty I know you have a son....anyone else?

Tracy...how are the wedding plans coming along?

Cat...I get nervous when I don't hear from you. How are you girl?

Sunny...I hopt thigs are well for you. How's the pain coming along?

Catherine and Glenda...I hope you two are not buried under snow.

Sherri....How's my favorite hostess?How's the weather there. I know you are so busy with the forum these days. Did you buy any crab yet? I need to go shopping today.

Hey Lisa, Prya, Dorothy, Sherry...How are you ladies doing today? Have a great day...tomorrow is Friday...YAY

I'm here and loving the new Avatar picture of yourself!!

I'm ok. I think a major problem for me is that I used to eat whenever things happened so I never really "felt" and now that I can't eat I'm feeling so many ranges of emotions that it is putting me through the ringer. I bounce from ok to sad to angry back to ok. I'm PMSng too so that's not helping. I'll survive.

Re: Kentucky Derby . . . . . . Keeping on Track

OK.....I am getting close to onderland. I hit 179 this morning. WOOOHOOO! I feel so awesome. I don't know what to do. I am celebrating inside!

Hooray!!! Congratulations!!!

Re: Kentucky Derby . . . . . . Keeping on Track

Is there a standard "onderland" (under 200)? Or what. My onderland is in the 50's/ 150anything. Thanks for doing the happy dance!

I don't know. I thought "onederland" was anything in the 100's. Honey I am going to dancing when I open the door to the 100's 199.99999 lbs... and on my way to the breast reduction doctor....LOL

Keep up the good work girl. You are jamming. I am STRUGGLING bigtime with cravings but I am fighting them off. I believe this may all be a part of getting back in induction mode. Lord help me.

My appetite decreased greatly. I went from 3 meals and 2 snacks to just 3 meals and on weekends really have to make myself eat (who would have thought it).

L-glutamine was a lifesaver for me. I don't know how it works but it does.

Can I get that at Wal-Mart? I am headed there now.

Re: Kentucky Derby . . . . . . Keeping on Track

Can I get that at Wal-Mart? I am headed there now.

I buy mine at a local health food market. They are relatively cheap too. You may find them at Walmart? They help with alcohol cravings also. I went out a couple of weeks ago and had a hardtime finishing my drink.

Oh ok, I thought wonderland was your happy weight place. LOL Breast reduction.....good for you. My breast seem to get smaller with me. When I was 235 I was about a 44DD and now I am about a 38D. But I know that this doesn't happen to everyone. What size are you going for?
