Hope everyone is enjoying Father's Day and making that man in your life feel special.

I think every one should celebrate the male in your life whether an official father or not because they likely are a father figure /role model to some special person.

"Happy Father's Day"

I made a fruit salad that's super easy and delicious! I took a bag of thawed frozen mixed fruit, added some splenda and mixed in a small cup of strawberry and banana yogurt. It was simple and so good!! It really hit the spot when I wanted something sweet. Just thought I'd share.

I hope everyone has a great week!! We can do it! GO ROCKSTARS!!!!!!!

Congrats!!

I need some help, we took my husband out for lunch for Father's Day, and went to a local Mexican place. I ordered veggie fajitas, which was grilled peppers, onions, mushrooms, broccoli, zuchinni, red peppers, so i had 3 flour tortillas with a scoop of this in each. a little guacamole in one (i was thinking of my healthy fats) ...so how would you figure up the fajita mix? any ideas?

on etools, it has it listed as 4, but i dont know what the serving is...so im just going to go with 8. sounds good

No one ever got fat eating veggies

How were the veggies prepared? in oil? What size were the tortillas?

If the veggies were prepared in oil (4pts per T, I'll say you had 2T), the tortillas were 6" sized (2 points each) and you had ¼c guacamole (2 points)

16 points

Hell no......too tired.

I wish I had the energy I got about 4 hours sleep last night.

I did 30 min on the Wii Fit yesterday.......2000 steps with 3# weights in my hands.....2000 flexes I guess (20 min), 10min misc aerobics.

The crap food is making me lazy

Crazy day in the neighborhood today. Heard the cops racing down the block with their sirens.....didnt think much of it.....around 7AM

Turns out a 24 year old that lives on the adjacent street choked on his vomit and died (alcohol related incident). Tons of family and friends were here while the CSI guys investigated.

I didnt know the boy, but it's so sad. Tragic, Father's Day will never be the same for the family.

Give your kids, nieces, nephews and extra hug and kiss today

Working at a college I try and tell my students about this and spread the word that this can happen...they look at me like I'm insane....but it's possible...I'm hoping that family gets the much needed comfort they need!

Oraki if you call the customer service number on your BC/BS card you can ask if your plan includes the weight loss benefit. If so they can send you a brochure for the instructions of how to apply for it. They don't make it easy but it can be done. It is worth the $150

I'll make sure to check it out. Thanks! Yeah I bet they make you jump through some hoops but it's definitely worth it. I'll check it out!

I have had a cold since Friday pm and feel lousy and only thing that taste good involve sugar and calories.

I tried to ride my bike today but only made it 2 miles and had to return home because was so weak and tired. I am sooo short of breath even going up 11 steps in our house. You would think I weigh 700 pounds.

Hopefully it will improve soon and I can refocus.

Please kick me in the butt.

I hope you feel better soon Babbs. That's why you're having such a hard time getting back on track.

Here's your kick in the butt!! It's a small one though since you're sick and all.

That sounds like such a great lunch!! You did so well ordering just veggie fajitas. Do you know how the veggies were prepared? If they weren't cooked in oil then that's probably a pretty good estimate. If they were cooked in oil then I would go with Reg's estimate. Better to be safe than sorry.

It's Sunday night and the weekend is over. Oh well...I guess it had to end eventually. I didn't do much today. I was pretty lazy. I tell you the heat just wipes me out!! Even after resting from yesterday I was still just so tired today. My plan was to cut the grass but that never happened. It's supposed to cool off during the week so I'll do it then. Where's the grass going anyway.....it will still be there.

I've been thinking what steps can I take to reach my 10% ww goal. I have 8.7 more pounds to reach my 10% goal. I've decided to set up a little challenge for myself for this week. I was thinking what kind of challenge can I start for myself?? I didn't want anything tied to a particular weight loss amount or anything because that will just drive me crazy. Since I LOVE my smilies I came up with the 5 smiley a day challenge! So here are the guidelines!!



1 smiley for drinking my water
1 smiley for getting in some activity
1 smiley for tracking all my points
1 smiley for using my daily point allowance towards the WW healthy guidelines and not on snacks, chips, etc (If I want these items then I need to use my wpas for them)
1 smiley for having at least one positive thought about my weight loss journey or my body each day

Okay the last one may be a little hard. I have a tendency to beat myself up pretty bad. That's why I added this to my challenge!! I know if I challenge myself to earn my smilies then the weight loss will follow. Looking back on my points tracker the weeks that I lost the most were weeks I followed most of these guidelines.

So I'll start tomorrow...wish me luck!!!!

If anyone wants to join me feel free!!!!
