[Reva72]

Dawn your dinner really sounds yummy. I may have to give it a try sometime soon. WTG on getting in 60 minutes of exercise Yesterday. I did only 30 minutes and know I could have squeezed in a bit more but I was feeling extremely bloated and still do. I had too much beef smoked sausage last night. Today is a new day and I am starting off with drinking tons of extra water.

I am going to be going thru some of my recipes and thinking of making some stuff up ahead of time again to have for meals. I still have some of the chicken soup I made. It just makes is so much easier to know ahead of time of my choices. I have this deep freezer now, I might as well put it to good use.

Todays exercise will be 30 min. Leslie Sansones walk and Jog workout. Then, I plan on doing 14 minutes weights for my arms. I am also going to do some stretchies with my stretchie on my own that I found in a magazine. This should put me right at 60 minutes exercise for the day.

B~ vanilla atkins shake
L~ 4oz turkey burger dipped in 1 tbsp mayo and mustard (THANKS AMBER)

Kim~ Where are you girl??? Come in and post.. let us know how you are doing.

As for me.. I am feeling great. I don't know what is doing it but I am actually sleeping much better at night. I don't know if it is cutting back to 1 cup of coffee a day.. ( a small cup at that too), or if it is my menu, or the supplements, but I feel like I am getting things done each day.. not just the basics... I am getting things deep cleaned... not all at once just a little at a time, and it hasn't felt like a huge struggle to just keep up with the daily stuff. I am even exercising everyday too... I took today off.. Sunday is my off day. But I am doing laundry so up and down the stairs all day long... Got new stretchy bands and Ryan did the 30 minute WATP tape with me yesterday... he did great.. my own little personal trainer!!

here is my menu for today
B~ 1/2 c whole grain cereal, 1/2 cup skim milk, 1 cup coffee
[1s/1p]
L~ Turkey sandwich on whole grain bread, lettuce & mayo, 1/2 grapefruit
[2p/1fat/1 fruit/2s/1v]
D~ salad, 1 cup chili, 2/3c green beans,1/2 c brown rice, berries
[2p/1s/1fruit/1fat/3v]

water so far got in 150 oz... will most likely get in at least another 32 oz... but more likely 64 more.
Took my supplements today...
no exercise cause of rest day.but I found some exercises to do with my stretchy band that I might try later tonight.. I will post it tomorrow if I do them... back at it full force tomorrow though...

Hope you all have a great day... catch ya later.
HUGS

[Reva72]

Melissa your menu really looks yummy. I am happy that you are feeling much better now about your woe. Keep up the great work on the exercise. You are doing a good job girly. That is really cute that Ryan worked out with you Yesterday. Before long he will be all muscle man at the age of 4.


I got in 65 minutes of exercise today. I did two 30 min. workout videos and 5 minutes of weights for my arms.

My menu has changed somewhat. Instead of turkey burgers I had two small baked chicken thighs. It was really yummy. Dinner will remain the same as far as I know.


Amber where are you at today? I sure miss ya.

Kim I hope you got the computer running agian. We need to know how you are doing.

Dawn enjoy the superbowl tonight.

[Reva72]

Finally going to get our new entertainment center put together and get the new tv all set up. Then dh and I are heading to get new speakers put in his car. He is such a big kid still. I probably won't be on much today because he is off and I won't get to see him for two days after today. He is driving up to his moms house and spending the night with hre tomorrow. SHe is having major surgery on Wednedsay. I don't know if he will be home that evening or wait until Thursday morning to come home. Either way, I will miss him. It is too much of a hassle for me to arrange sitters and stuff for the kids for that long or I would go with him.

My menu
B~ 4oz turkey burger, 1 tbsp mayo mixed with mustard
L~ 4 oz grilled chicken sauted in butter with zucchini, garlic and pepper, 1/2 oz shredded cheese, 1 tbsp sour cream
D~ oz taco meat, 2 tbsp soru cream, 1 cup lettuce, 1 tbsp salsa, 1 oz shredded cheese

I am so happy I could just dance a jig right now. She has struggled for almost 2 years with this.... and she is such a fighter.... All I can say is Praise The Lord!! I have prayed and prayed for this day to come.... she goes back in a month to be retested...but they got it all as of right now...!! I can't wait to call her tomorrow. Okay well enough of my babbling... I will head off to bed now... catch you all tomorrow at some point...

Dawn that salad sounds really yummy. I am deffinately going to try it soon. Thanks for sharing.

Kim its great to see you back posting again. Your menus look really good and wtg on the exercise.

Amber hope we get a chance to chat today. Yesterday was a very busy and hectic day. We got nothing done when we wanted and had 50 million other things that came up. We didn't finally get to pick our car up until 7pm last night. Quane left for work and then I won't see him until late late tomorrow night.

This evening Lil Quane starts anger managment for 12 weeks so my Tuesday evenings are tied up for a while. We are going to go visit my mom while he is there though. Cody is dying to go fishing again on Pa Pas computer.

Exercise today will be Walk and Jog with Leslie Sansone (30 min.) and then at least 15 minutes of weights for the arms.

Amber there are many ways to make the tuna patties. I normally just take a can of tuna and draing it of course. I then add a egg white, celery salt, and garlic poweder. Sometimes I throw in some shredded cheese too. I then make a big patty out of it. I fry it in a bit of olive oil. Make sure the patty is good and brown on the first side when you turn it or it will fall apart. You can also make the tuna into two small patties if you like. I hope this helps.

[Mrssillymom3]

Well I got a few hours to myself today....
Ryan had to be at school by 11am and he will be there till after 3pm today... they won a pizza party and then they are going on a field trip to one of those indoor places that they can climb in and around all those tubes and slides and stuff.
Took Elizabeth to the doctor this morning for her 18 month checkup, she is healthy as a horse, and weighs in at a whopping 31 1/2 lb, and she is 31 1/2 inches tall... LOL She had to get 4 shots.... 3 boosters and her chickenpox vaccine. SO I gave her some tylenol and put her up for a nap... she should sleep for a while today, she usually does on shot day.

here is my menu for today......
b~ strawberry yogurt smoothie, coffee
