Yay on the weight loss! Keep it up!

Thanks, Krysta

Your menu looks fantastic!

Now for the exercise! ( I am speaking to myself here too!)

You are doing great!

crazyredhead · 05-09-2007, 12:27 PM

on the loss.... woohooo!

Low Carb Mommy · 05-09-2007, 02:57 PM

Alright Sue! I just finished doing my Denise Austin Fat Blasting tape!

I need a report by tonight! Challenge is in full force!

seb · 05-09-2007, 03:13 PM

Hillary~thanks. Hopefully I'll be where you are soon.

Beth~Keeping my toes to the fire, huh? Well, when DD gets home we are working on Couch to 5K together. I didn't go out walking this morning because it turned cold and windy. I hate being cold.

Low Carb Mommy · 05-09-2007, 03:28 PM

Any exercise will do! I am not going to be picky! Even sit-ups will count!

seb · 05-09-2007, 05:38 PM

O.K., I have to admit that I didn't exercise. After shopping this morning, I felt tired, but by this afternoon I felt like I'd been run over by a truck. Have just been resting, and let DD exercise by herself. Feeling a little better now, but still haven't unloaded the unrefrigerated food.

Need to get the kids to help me out.

Edwards20 · 05-09-2007, 05:54 PM

Sue, congrats on your loss. I knew it would happen. I think you are doing a wonderful job. I won't chime in on the exercise, cause I am having some problems doing any.

twinmom04 · 05-09-2007, 06:16 PM

Your doing great Sue.

Low Carb Mommy · 05-09-2007, 07:17 PM

It's Ok, I will forgive you. Sometimes you just have to go with what your body is saying. Tomorrow you might be feeling strong and able to do more. I hope you are not getting sick...prayers. Get some rest.

seb · 05-09-2007, 09:22 PM

Feeling better. Don't know what hit me, but I was down for several hours. It might have been losing a lot of sleep last night, then being tired from shopping.

Today's menu:

B~eggs and sausage 1.2
coffee/cream 2

S~flax muffin 5

L~cottage cheese 4
RR with butter .5
Chicken divan 3

D~hamburger patty with 1 oz cheese on top 1

water~90 oz
total~16.2

seb · 05-09-2007, 09:24 PM

Thanks Candy and Twinmom.

I just posted my menu for today and don't know what happened to it???? Weird.

seb · 05-09-2007, 09:24 PM

Strange. When I posted the last post, the one before showed up.

Edwards20 · 05-10-2007, 05:41 AM

Have a blessed day my friend.

crazyredhead · 05-10-2007, 06:27 AM

Hi Sue. Hope you're feeling better. Your menu looks good... I've heard of chicken divan, may have even had it in a restaurant before, but can't remember what it is. How do you make it? You know me... always looking for new yummy recipes

seb · 05-10-2007, 08:40 AM

I'm down another half pound today

Hillary~I am feeling better today, thank you.

For the chicken divan, I made a sauce with cream cheese, half and half, a chicken bouillon cube, and egg and a little water. I fried cubed chicken breasts in olive oil, then mixed that up with frozen broccoli, added the sauce and baked until a little brown on top. I usually don't measure much, just add this and that. Oh yes, I also added a little curry powder to the sauce. It was good. This is my make-over of a recipe I have from my Mom.

Candy~you have a blessed day also.

Low Carb Mommy · 05-10-2007, 09:16 AM

Whoo Hoo Sue! You are rocking! You may have been feeling a touch of that "induction flu". Your body was working so hard on burning fat that it couldn't handle anything else!!! I am glad you are feeling better today. I wouldn't want you to be sick on Mother's Day. The Chicken Divan sounds good....I will be adding that to my recipe book. Was that one chicken breast that you counted as 3 carbs? Love ya!

sorry...it is going crazy today!

seb · 05-10-2007, 09:25 AM

The broccoli, along with cream cheese and cream is what I used in my carb count. I just had a small amount yesterday, so overall it wasn't many carbs. It is a delicious recipe. I love chicken and broccoli together, and mix in curry powder to that and it can't be beat. I am a huge curry fan. I grew up in Asia and curry was a favorite for us.

Low Carb Mommy · 05-10-2007, 09:36 AM

I love Thai food....I miss Thia food! They cook with curry! I will try it soon!

Low Carb Mommy · 05-10-2007, 09:38 AM

There is so much activity in my journal that I think you might not have seen my question about the bark. Is there something else I can use instead of the choc. syrup. I don't have any.

seb · 05-10-2007, 01:45 PM

Beth, hope the bark turned out good.

I just had 1/4 C walnuts and now I'm stuffed. I'm trying to get carbs in before dinner, and decided to try and see what would happen today if I ate a little more carbs than normal for lunch. I had two cups of cabbage in a hamburger dish I had, snacked on cottage cheese before lunch and now the nuts. I think I'll be stuffed until I have to eat before going to the baseball game tonight.

Sue, congrats on your loss this morning.

crazyredhead · 05-10-2007, 03:08 PM

Sue: Thanks for the chicken divan recipe! That looks really good and I am copying it right now to my recipe file

. I love broccoli and of course who doesn't love cream

. Congrats on the loss this morning... you deserve to see the scale move... you've been so good and have been very diligently hanging in there

Low Carb Mommy · 05-10-2007, 07:26 PM

This is your exercise accountability partner.....did you exercise today? I just finished a mile walk.

seb · 05-11-2007, 01:06 PM

Hi Hillary and Beth.

No, I didn't walk yesterday. Started out on one and went about 1/4 mile, but my knee has really been bothering me, so I turned around and came home. At least I tried.

Weight is the same this morning.

I am feeling up-beat about losing this fat. It is becoming more noticeable all the time. DD made some nice comments about me yesterday.

It takes a long time for me to show weight-loss because of how I put on/take off weight. I gain or take off in every part of my body, so I can lose 20 pounds, but my clothes may be looser to me, maybe not noticeable to others. But, as I am slimming down, it is showing more.

I also feel taller.
