I dont think what I'm doing is considered "leisure" (leisure and brisk are the only choices I see on etools) because I'm sweating and a little out of breath when I'm done.......AND tired.

ooooh Thanks!

Breakfast - avocado (exploded in my Vera I had to eat it on the bus ) oranges, a little carton of grape tomatoes, two plums. The avocado was supposed to be for lunch along with my cucumber and tomatoes...foods I can sort of graze on all day. I also have plenty of fluids that I plan on eating before going to the gym today.

I am hoping to start my 3 workouts a day today. I've already done the AM, will do the afternoon at 1 but it is that evening workout that I can't seem to commit myself to...thought about it last night but stayed on the sofa thinking about it...tonight is the night!

Skinny wishes to all the Tuesday weighers!

you're doing great!
I have one question...are you getting enough protein? If you're working out, make sure you get some protein in too. If not your body won't be able to build muscle. plus it will help fill you up more for the long haul. Just a thought. Keep up the great work, you'll make your goal in no time.

Hey everyone!!!!!!

*waves frantically*

Hubby and I have plans to go to our fav eating place and have my fav meal that I didn't have on Mother's day so I could have a decent wi.

Slim, have a great lunch and a great WI!!! {{{{Skinny Vibes}}}}}

I had 3 kisses yesterday......2 points.....totally worth it to me (favorite candy along with hugs). Ather favorite is Lindt White Chocolate Truffles but they are too point-expensive

Oh goodness Reg! I love kisses! I wanna try this too....maybe when I lose 10lbs or gain some control on my eating! Great idea buying the lil package.

We have a couple of weeks now to finish packing, and then we're moving. In a way, I am excited, and in another way, I'm dreading it. Oh, well.

Congrats on finding a place to live Sarah! I am sure that is a load off.

I hope your trip to the dr isn't bad...I've been looking on the fitness section of ww reading posts on what people use....turbo jam seems to be good and a dance dvd can't remember the brand

good luck, I bet you can get a better time!

SPRING FEVER

I want to get in a car and just go to town. I want to go to the mall and just walk and watch people. I want to go sit at the park and read a book. I want to go hang out with my sister. I want to go sit in a hot tub.

ANYTHING ... other than sitting in a classroom with Junior High kids. I love them, really I do.. but I think I have the fever worse than they do!

sigh

I am sooo ready for summer to be here. My boys are really excited to have the time off. Last year was going to be their first year alone, but DH broke some ribs and a collar bone and was off work the whole summer. So the boys weren't alone. This year really makes me nervous. My house better be standing when I get home every night.

Let me know what kind your looking for, I have been doing a lot of videos lately that burn, but are really low impact. They will make you sweat too.

for the treadmill it gives you the same amount of points for a 3-5mile an hour walk pace. So I would say anywhere in between is brisk, as long as you get a sweat on.

I need ones that make me sweat...for beginners/intermediate...aerobics, dance along those lines in 20 min intervals or so

I forgot to ask this question this morning:

How do I measure a serving size of spaghetti?
My wife bought some whole wheat spaghetti and I know we can have a cup for approx. 4 pts. How do we measure a cup of spaghetti?


Please help

It's supposed to be 2 oz......



The smallest should be 2oz

[flower75]

everyone!


Mike, I'm not sure about the spaghetti either. The only thing I could think of is to put the cooked spaghetti in a measuring cup when done and measure out 1 cup, or whatever the serving is. I don't have that pasta thing that Dedicated posted to measure out oz. of uncooked pasta. That is a great idea though! Maybe I'll have to look for one of those!

Hope everyone is having good losses this week at their weigh in!

I've lost a few pounds of the water 6 lbs. water weight I gained since last Weds. night. I have to lose a few more by tomorrow night to be at the same weight for my weigh in tomorrow night. for today's plan I will keep the points low, eat lots of fruits and veggies and eat my dinner by 4-5 pm. I either won't snack at all after dinner or allow a light snack. I'll be sure and drink lots of water and watch my sodium too.

I measure a cup cooked or 2oz dry (I have a scale). With the Ronzoni in the purple box I separate into single servings (into ziplock sandwich bags), so I can just grab it quick

Ok, I'm starting a blog today, probably tonight when I have more time to focus on it. I just got back from the gym, had an excellent workout...so far today

AM - 1 mile (ran 3/4 of it) 50 walking lunges - not as painful as I thought they would be

NOON - Elliptical - 2.47 miles, 276.6 calories burned, 30 minutes - resistance set at 6 (I tried 8 but that was way too much)
- Treadmill - 1.04 miles, 75 calories burned, 18.22 minutes - set at 3.5 the entire time.

I WILL GO TO THE TRACK TONIGHT. Or I will go and play tennis with dd. Some sort of exercise this PM...I WILL EXERCISE THREE TIMES TODAY.

ts1draft - I've not figured out the protein yet. I don't quite understand the concept of protein and CORE...I know we can eat as much as we wish from the list...but I've not been able to totally wrap my mind around the concept of mixing carbs and protein as freely as CORE allows...so I've not had much protein at all. I also have not been getting in my dairy...which I really don't like...this is another reason I really need to get that food tracker working on the ww site...I just can't get it up and running. Dedicated - do you have any suggestions about protein...what should I know/what are the rules on CORE?

I make sure I have protein at every meal usually...and if not meat...I do use a lot of soy products...it keeps me full more and less snacking...I'm enjoying eating carbs and pooping on the regular...soo many years of lc and not being able to poop has made me grateful...
I'll listen for more tips and fill you in

[Dedicated]

I'm off to weigh in....I just want a loss!

[Sarmay]

Best of luck, Dedicated!

[Sarmay]

I just went to post on my blog, and realized I had comments there.
Thank you, Reg and Dedicated!
