Bahama Mamas Bikini Challenge

Ugh. I went into my local coffee place (not Starbucks) and wanted a cold coffee blended drink to celebrate it being 65 degrees here. I went back and forth with them about carb content and sugar, etc. I finally ended up with the "lite" version, with SF syrup, even though they used skim milk in the mix.

Wrong choice. Ugh. 58 carbs!

I'd have done better with the regular version. If I get a "coffee" flavor, no whip, small, it's only 21 carbs. Only.

Jeep, I've been having iced coffees at starbucks for a while now and it's just as good if not better than those blended drinks, without all the carbs. I get a Iced Venti sugar free vanilla americano. 0 carbs. Then I add about a tablespoon or so of heavy cream or half and half. It's delicious and totally satisfies my cold coffee drink craving, without all the carbs.

jeep, that sucks! But don't sweat it too much. Times like this make me glad I'm not a coffee drinker.
So something random happened today, and I'm stoked. I went to the gas station to get the kids some stoopid bug juice (don't ask if you don't know what it is) and there was a dude putting out a cigarette right in front of the door. I coughed and literally almost gagged. It was SOOOO nasty, yuck- how did I ever smoke? Sometimes I still miss the physical action of it, but OMG, I'm so glad not to smell like that anymore. It made me wonder how many people I had choked with my nasty habit, but then I remembered what a classy lady I am- I never smoked around non-smokers I think (hope) it's safe to say I've kicked the habit forever.
Everyone is so quiet today. Geez, you'd think it was weigh in day or something!!!!

[FatFatnomore]

Yay Riot! I'm so happy for you and so proud of you!

I think I'm gonna add some cauliflower to my dinner menu. I've been craving cauliflower all day.

Yes, i went thru those feelings too. And when people come in with papers they want copied or whatever i can smell it in the papers! I just plain notice i can smell better now! Which can be kinda gross too!

I think several people have given you positive feedback regarding the issue so hopefully you will figure out what will work best for you and your daughter. Please keep us all updated! From what I can tell, you are a very loving and caring parent and you are attempting to make changes while your daughter is still young.

Thank you!

Hi ladies! Sorry I've been kind of MIA lately.

After a few carbier days, yesterday I DID make it the gym and walked 3 miles! It was great to get back there again after staying away all during Spring Break.

Today is my first full day back completely low carb... and I am facing some temptations again, but I'm NOT giving in!

Today's Menu:
B- turkey on oopsies (6)
L- pepperoni slices, diet soda (2)
S- meat of some kind and veggies (8)
TOTAL=16 carbs/8 glasses of water
(maybe walking to park later = 1 mile)

damn, I've been gone for a whole hour, and it's still dead in here! Mask, good to see ya back on track. I'm telling you, the fat fast is evil. I don't care how long this damn stall lasts, I will not ever do the fat fast again. It's makes people go psychotic.

LMAO!! No kidding! I'm not a good fat faster either. I so hope I don't have to do it again. I think if I continue to stall I may do m&e for a few days. I'll definately try that before doing fat fast. I thought I was going to kill someone lol!

[lcoldtimer]

Jeepifer,When I go to Starbucks(pretty aprpo name )ginen how expensive it is.I order geb coffee,ask for heavy cream in it then add splenda.Almost no carbs.Rena

[hellsbelles]

riot I'll just post my front and side view after pictures together in this message so you'll be able to post them on the photobucket site. Sorry to be so much trouble!

[RiotGirl08]

ugh, see I can't handle M&E either.

whatever, you just wanted a reason to explain something!

[lcoldtimer]

Bella,I did atkins 72 for a while to break a stall,it really works.

[hellsbelles]

you know, one of these days I'm gonna have to kick your ass

lmao

yeah... but then you'd have to come back on here, and explain to everyone what happened to me, then someone else will poke ya for explainig all about how you kicked my ass.... it's a never ending cycle!!!!

[hellsbelles]

lc - I haven't looked into that.... I'll do some research, thanks

riot - I can do m&e better than I can do fat fast! I really only have the eggs in the morning then it's smooth sailing. I don't have to worry about 2 oz of this and 2 oz of that - just have to worry about only eating meat and eggs ! I will say that I miss my vegetables when I'm on it so I can only do it for 3 days or so at a time.

no, not why you did it. How you did it. Ya know..... what you were wearing, how did my hair look, what was the temp outside.......

[hellsbelles]

Ok so I think I really just hate exercising. I've done 7 hours of the callanetics and I just want to die lol! I keep thinking that I will enjoy working out, etc when I am closer to my goal weight because then I won't have so much to carry around.

Seriously. What gives? I know I have to exercise to lose weight so why is it so dreadful?
