Hello lovely ladies!! Thanks for the compliments. I get bored of my same photos so I take new ones. Hee hee!!

Went to school today and had an all over pretty good day. I feel good today on PH 1. The first day that I feel real positive. Yesterdays eating too much "homemade dessert whip stuff" did a number on my weight. Ugh....that is what I get for eating too too too much!!

Todays MENU I feel has been pretty good. Any suggestions on a better or even healthier menu would be welcomed!
MENU:
B: 3 turkey sausage links, 2 eggs
S: 8 oz FFP yogart, SF syrup
L: LC slimfast
S: 4 oz LF cottage cheese, LS v8, turkey slices
D: Cooked tofu and salad with tomatoes, onions, peanuts, LF cheese, dressing
Dessert: either a SF popsicle or SF Tropicanna Fruit punch

Later...got a TON to do!!

[veronicka]

Hi ladies!

Today was extremely long, and I thought I'd never leave school. I have a lot of work due on Thursday, so I might be MIA. I got out of class at 830, so I didn't go to the gym. I can't wait for school to be over so i can concentrate on my diet and exercise.

Today's menu:
B: none
L: c. cheddar broccoli soup, 1/2 grilled chicken ceasar salad
D:chicken ceasar salad

Goodnight everyone!

Yesterday I worked out hard in yoga class. She had us use a pilates magic circle prop, to work our cores. I've never tried using one before and it was great! I just looked online and Target carries it, so I think I will pick up one to have at home.

Sorry if this TMI, but I'm pretty sure we're all ladies here...but I had some "spotting" last night. I don't think TOM is here (and shouldn't be for at least a week). My periods tend to be pretty irregular while following SB. Anyone else have the same problem?

Today I am off to have my hair colored and cut. I started getting gray at 18 so coloring my hair is a monthly process, but it's a nice treat when I have the stylist to do my roots and not Garnier Nutrisse. I'm going to have a couple of inches cut (hasn't been cut since December) and re-layered. Afterwards, going to get lunch at Whole Foods and then off to my graduate class.

Vero- I got my 10 in 10 DVD through Amazon. I think I paid 25 for it, but it was well worth it!!

Teresa- Good job yesterday! It's funny how our bodies know what we SHOULD be eating, huh? My body also reacts so lovely when I go off-plan! I hate waking up with an upset tummy! LOL

Have a great day everyone!!

[tinatina]

Vero or anyone - If you are interested I ordered the Callentics on VHS for less than $8 on Amazon. We still have like 3 VCRs so I should be able to use it for awhile.

[wiz]

Geez, I'm missing another whole conversation over on this Phase 1 thread. I feel out of it!!

I have been doing Phase 1 this week to de-tox from vacation (except for my Activia FF yogurts - I need those for my digestive system ). It has really helped me. I've lost my 2-lb vacation weight gain, plus another 1 lb.

It's amazing how getting back to basics can really jumpstart things.

I know I won't stick with Phase 1 over the weekend (I'm sure I'll have some wine on Saturday night at my brother's birthday party ) but I will continue to keep my food choices as basic as possible.

I really want to hit that 25 lbs off goal, that's a big one for me.

[thinkfastvivi]

good morning!!

just wanted to wish everyone a happy day!!! i still cant believe how much more focused i feel on this woe, knowing that i have this sb msg board to come too!!

you all REALLY make a difference!!

not sure on my menu today, so i will bbl!!

DANI i want to get my hands on one of those core rings!! sounds awesome! have fun at your hair appt. today.....

[rose1]

Those Pilates rings are amazing. We bought ours from a pilates site and it came with a instructor DVD. Get one!

[veronicka]

Good morning ladies!

First of all, thanks for all of the info on the Callanetics stuff. I'm gonna look into it.

Dani: I've seen those little balancing rings before at target and walmart, but I don't think I could balance on one for more than 10 seconds, much less exercise on it

Wiz: Great job getting back on track and losing those pesky lbs!


Vivian: I completely agree with you, if it weren't for my friends on this board, I don't think I would have lasted 6+ mos. on this diet.

Have a great day everyone!

[amiga74]

Have a great day everyone!!

I started this a month ago and started the diet the day I started TOM and this month I was 3 days late. I am never late so I wouldnt be suprised that its the woe

[thinkfastvivi]

hey guys!

here is the run down for today...

BR: coffee w/ cream, srambled eggs
S: string cheese w/ 5 almonds
L: salad with chicken bits, lf dressing
S: hb egg, half cup cottage
THEN.......remember that lc cheesecake i made last night?? i probably ate two servings of that!! aggghhh! i feel like ive consumed half a block of cream cheese!

i can tell my hormones are going crazy by my appetite, and what i am choosing to eat, (massive amounts of chzcake) it is almost that TOM.....

does anyone know how much cream cheese we can have on this woe in one day?? im guessing its a very small amount!

ATTENTION ANYONE WHO HAS MADE OOPSIE ROLLS!

i tried whipping up a batch this afternoon, im not sure what i did wrong but it the consistancy was runny!?? any advice would be greatly appreciated!!

well, gotta run my youngest son to soccer....catch ya later!

[lck8119]

I had trouble the first time too making oopsie rolls. The first time, I didn't understand what whipping egg whites really meant. I found out I should have whipped them with an electric mixer for at least 3 minutes - until I could turn the bowl upside down and they didn't move. Then I poured the egg whites on top and slowly and carefully swirled them into the egg whites. I don't even completely stir them together. Then I spoon them onto the baking sheet. If that doesn't help, let me know exactly what you did, and I can try to help from there. I make them once a week.

Parchment paper works best. They always stuck when I used foil or a baking sheet with cooking spray. Now, I just spoon them on parchment paper and they come right off with no sticking. Also, when you store them, store them in ziploc bags (I do 2 at a time) with the bag a little open in the fridge so that they don't get sticky. Then when you are ready to eat them, set them out at room temp for about 20-30 min.

I my oopsies. Without them I would have never stayed on plan. Oh, and sorry about the threadjack.

[Danipower714]

Evening!

Busy day today! My hair turned out well. My stylist put some caramel colored highlights around my face which are nice for the spring. (Kinda hard to tell in my new pic I think). I put highlights in it a couple of years ago, so it was a nice change, and DH likes it.

Had a yummy salad at Whole Foods for lunch and then a Iced SF cinnamon dolce latte at Starbucks. Passed in my project for my class and now I just need to get thru the exam next week, and then the class is pretty much done.

Got in an hour of Callanetics this morning.

I stopped at Target and picked up the pilates ring. Can't wait to use it!

Thanks for all the info. about irregular periods! Glad to know I'm not the only one!

back Amiga!

Wiz! Glad to have you on the Phase 1 thread!

Vero- I think you are talking about the bosu balancer. The pilates ring (or circle) is a different prop. It really works your core!

Vivian- Glad you are posting with us! I agree with you, this is a great place for support!

Have a great night everyone!
