Your right, I've been thinking the same thing all morning. Think I'll stay here until Tuesday then give it a try.

Dixie - I'm so sorry you were having a down day. I know how that goes, I too am losing what I feel like is at a very slow rate. I did try lowering my protein and upping my fat, and that seems to have helped. I have read in a couple other journals where people did that and started losing again. But it is much more work to stay op. I've done the whole carb thing before and did great, so I pretty much know what I can eat when low-carbing, but I seem to be clueless with fat and protein, so that has made it a little challenging.

Stick with it. You seem to be losing inches, so weight is sure to follow one of these days!!!

Ty k
Some days are just harder than others. I'm feeling better now that I got up and started moving. got 2.30 miles walked..30 minutes on wii. Ran to town and got errands done..
Let me know how the protein fat thing is working for you.
I swear half my problem is my scale a bought a new fangled one a few weeks back and I've been fighting the scale every since. My wii scale has me losing a a slow but steady pace of about 1.5lbs at a time, the evil new scale always shows gains, it'll show a loss one time and I can step right back on the scale and it'll be gone or I'll be up and lb or two.

dixiegal · 08-08-2009, 04:55 AM

Woke up feeling like I had been hit by a truck. I seem to have caught my dd's cold. She's feeling much better now thankfully since her bd party is tonight. I on the other hand feel like crud. Gonna be fun feeling like this and having a bunch of giggly teenage girls here until 11;00 tonight, 5 are spending the night

I ended up walking 2.30 miles yesterday and getting an hour on wii. My son bought me a pair of boxing gloves to hook my controllers to for the rhythm boxing

They didn't feel heavy until I started boxing with them,lol. By the end of 2- 10 minute pro boxing I was having trouble holding my hands up to box, but at least I wasn't constantly trying to wipe my hands while holding the controllers. They did get sweaty in the gloves though. But they where fun to wear

Lots to do today and dh had to work, so I'm on my own. Well, I do have dd and her best friend to help a bit if I can keep them away from the closets and bathroom mirrors.

No workouts today unless you count farm chores and cleaning house. I don't want to wear my body down any further with this cold. NO idea what I'm planning on eating, don't usually feel like food when sick so I'll just wing it. The hardest thing today will be avoiding bd cake. I

bd cake*sigh*

tempted_by_food · 08-08-2009, 06:22 AM

Awwww Dixie sorry you got a cold, I hope the party goes well, resist that cake! you can do it! Farm chores and cleaning the house is more than enough, whats the boxing gloves havent heard of them before do you use them for the wii? sounds fun and quite interesting give me some feed back on them

Not sure if I'm allowed to do this. It's been years since I read the tos on this board.
Nintendo Wii Boxing Gloves from Everlast.com
They feel just like real boxing gloves except not as heavy. I had a blast with them

I think the boxing on wii fit is my favorite out of all of them and the flab on my upper arms is really starting to look better

klittle · 08-08-2009, 11:57 AM

Those boxing gloves sound fun!! I need to get me some.

Sorry you aren't feeling good today Dixie. Get better soon!!

You and I are in the same boat on the bd cake. My DH bd was yesterday. I made him a cake last night, he wanted lemon, his fav and thankfully I really don't like it, so that was easy. However, I make a lemon curd for the filling, and I love that - so that was a bit of a challenge to not lick the spoon, or bowl, or just go face down in it. LOL!! Tonight we are having a date night and will go out to eat. But that's ok, I already looked at the nutri. info on the web so I know what I am allowed to eat. One dessert has 149 carbs - wow - that will help me to stay away.

Hope you have a great day!!

WTG with the cake. I hope I can be that stong. I'm feeling a bit better right now, colds always seem worse at night and in the morning. Date night sounds lovely, just remind yourself the less full you are the more fun you can have later

dixiegal · 08-09-2009, 07:46 AM

Well, I'm patting myself on the back because I resisted that dreaded cake

I'm not out of the woods yet though because the kitchen is full of chips,dip, left over pizza and of course cake.
I am retaining a bit of water this morning which I think is from too many pepperoni on the pizza toppings. It's only a lb so it's not too bad. Lots of water for me today. I was way too tired to pick up after the party last night so that's my goal today, getting the house back in shape. Still congested with a cold so no workouts.

klittle · 08-09-2009, 04:33 PM

Yea you!!! Way to go on resisting the cake.

Company came yesterday and finished the thing off. I was glad to get it out of the house! The party turned out really well. I learned how to Pop, Lock and Drop it LOL Talk about a good workout ! I'm thinking of going to youtube and checking out some more hip hop dances it was fun

dixiegal · 08-10-2009, 05:41 AM

Yesterday was good. We had company off and on all day so the day flew by which was bad. I realised this morning that I ended up not eating any veggies all day somehow. Not something I planned or plan to repeat it just worked out that way. I think I just needed a change, I wasn't real hungry anyway had a low carb shake for breakfast but didn't finish it. Made snacker burgers for lunch, and chicken with cream cheese sauce for supper, cooked green beans with it but skipped them.

Chicken with cream cheese sauce is an old lc recipe I used to cook all the time. I had forgotten how good it was. Here's the recipe in case anyone wants to try it.

Boneless skinless chicken.
Take a stick of butter and melt, cook chicken coated in rotisserie spices in butter.
When chicken is done remove from frying pan and put into a oven safe dish.
Put a brick or cream cheese in the frying pan with drippings and let melt while stirring with a whisk
Add heavy cream to thin it out a bit ( kind of like thick gravy )
Pour over chicken and pop into the oven 350-400 for a bit. I just let mine lightly brown.

klittle · 08-10-2009, 08:04 AM

YUM!! That chicken sounds really good. I think I might have to try that tonight.

tempted_by_food · 08-10-2009, 08:31 AM

Dixie....well done resisiting all that yummy food and specially that cake! Glad your visitors polished of the leftovers least it didnt go to waste and you didnt give in to the temptation

that chicken does sound good! hope your cold is gone and your feeling better!

dixiegal · 08-11-2009, 04:56 AM

Today is my last day of babysitting!!! I'm excited, I know I'll miss the grandkids but it'll be nice to have my time as my own again. I'll be free to make candles and soap again. I wont miss the tv being on cartoons,lol.

Didn't have time yesterday to workout.. but we had to unload hay into the barn and I dont think there is any workout made that can compare with that. That hay loft was sooo hot and those bales had to be close to 75 lbs each. My job was to get the bales that had been thrown up, move them and stack them, which involves lots of lifting, throwing, climbing up on other bales and moving around to stack. We put up about 100 of them. I had no problems sleeping last night

Today is weigh in and I haven't stepped on the scale this morning. Being out in the heat yesterday I figure I'm retaining so I'm putting it off this morning giving myself time to pee a bit off first,lol.

tempted_by_food · 08-11-2009, 06:43 AM

woooooot awesome weight loss this week dixie

total of 20lbs awesome! Damn and great job on the inch loss too!

klittle · 08-11-2009, 07:01 AM

Great job Dixie!!! At this rate, you will definitely make your goal by next summer, and I bet you reach your short term goal in just a week or two.

Awesome!!

dixiegal · 08-11-2009, 07:35 AM

ty tempted and klittle. It really feels like I'm getting somewhere now

I dont have much planned today, since its the last day with the girls. I'm giving them my full attention.

tempted_by_food · 08-12-2009, 05:33 AM

Looks like you weights moving in the right direction your doing so well and your very dedicated to it and very energetic! you are so close to your mini goal and onderland I bet you can almost smell the victory!

dixiegal · 08-12-2009, 06:39 AM

94% humidity today! After sitting around yesterday I'm having a hard time getting myself moving this morning. I'm going to leave the housework until later today and get in some exercise this morning. Starting with getting the chores done. Then getting at least a mile walk in before it gets any hotter today. Its cloudy with a chance of rain so I want to get them both done while I can.

dixiegal · 08-12-2009, 06:41 AM

LOL never mind change of plans, My ipod is dead so I'll charge it while getting the housework done then do chores and walk.

dixiegal · 08-12-2009, 07:33 AM

OK house is picked up. Now for the rest.. still not wanting to move.... quick someone push me on out the door to get me started

dixiegal · 08-12-2009, 08:27 AM

OM Gosh it is soo humid out! I only got a mile and that was counting walking to the barn and doing chores too. Its just too humid I started to feel sick at my stomach out there. Time for a break to cool off anymore working out today will be inside with the ac blasting!

tempted_by_food · 08-13-2009, 07:45 AM

Hey Dixie hope your enjoying your free time today without the kids around, hope your foots feeling better too soon, maybe the heat played apart in that seems so very warm there, rest it and it should be as good as new.

dixiegal · 08-14-2009, 06:13 AM

Ok no more messing around. I have allowed myself to get into some kind of funk this week and there's no excuse for it. I have been oversleeping which is not like me at all. Feeling tried and cranky through the day which isnt like me either.

Time to put a stop to this. I'm still have problems with my foot, so I haven't figured out what I can do for exercise today. Maybe some crunches. I'll give the hula hoop on wii a try. I gotta do something because sitting around is just making my mood worse. Making sure to take all my vitamins today, Iv been slack on that all week. Tons of water and most importantly making sure I put a smile on my face. My dgm always said when you feel sad and grouchy make yourself smile and before you know it, you'll feel happy. It has always worked for me

klittle · 08-14-2009, 07:20 AM

What a great quote from your dgm. And true too. I hope you have a great, happy day!!

tempted_by_food · 08-14-2009, 08:59 AM

So true with the quote, made me smile reading it! hope that foots not causing you to much trouble!

dixiegal · 08-15-2009, 06:26 AM

Today is dh's birthday!

So I'm in one of those sentimental moods and figured I'd share a bit more of our lives with you.

Here's an album of our home, just click the photo.. warning you may get bored,lol but I figure I'm sharing everything else with y'all you might as well see our home.

dixiegal · 08-15-2009, 07:54 AM

House is picked up. No sense in doing deep cleaning because all the kids and gkids will be up today. Critters fed and watered. Found my oldest goat dead this morning

She was getting pretty old and was slowing down, I think she died from old age.

Going to hop in the shower and get prettied up for dh. We are going to town. Plan on looking for some gel thingys to go in shoes while we are out and try walking with them. Foot feels better only just a bit sore today. Hopefully by Monday I'll give walking a try again. I sure do miss it.

I haven't been eating well the last few days...one day no veggies the next too many veggies. Working on getting back on track today. Would be nice to get at least 1 more lb off before weigh in.

I'm going to leave the housework until later today and get in some exercise this morning. Starting with getting the chores done. Then getting at least a mile walk in before it gets any hotter today. Its cloudy with a chance of rain so I want to get them both done while I can.

I have been oversleeping which is not like me at all. Feeling tried and cranky through the day which isnt like me either. Time to put a stop to this. I'm still have problems with my foot, so I haven't figured out what I can do for exercise today. Maybe some crunches. I'll give the hula hoop on wii a try. I gotta do something because sitting around is just making my mood worse. Making sure to take all my vitamins today, Iv been slack on that all week. Tons of water and most importantly making sure I put a smile on my face. My dgm always said when you feel sad and grouchy make yourself smile and before you know it, you'll feel happy. It has always worked for me

Found my oldest goat dead this morning She was getting pretty old and was slowing down, I think she died from old age. Going to hop in the shower and get prettied up for dh. We are going to town. Plan on looking for some gel thingys to go in shoes while we are out and try walking with them. Foot feels better only just a bit sore today. Hopefully by Monday I'll give walking a try again. I sure do miss it. I haven't been eating well the last few days...one day no veggies the next too many veggies. Working on getting back on track today. Would be nice to get at least 1 more lb off before weigh in.
