Red face

that is fantastic donna!!!!!!
my goals are several.
I want to eat more nutritiously...more whole foods less processed ones.
After I finish the low calorie/carb atkins drinks and protein waters....I am switching to organic milk.
It has the same number of calories and better nutrition and costs alot less!
I just read last night that splenda is more chemically similar to a pesticide than a sugar.
I am stopping the use of all artificial sweeteners.
Black coffee for me from now on.

I want to lose 20 pounds total. I think I have lost 5 so far
(since march 11th). never really know about those first 5 pounds...water weight?

I want to be a stronger woman.
I am a weakling! so am lifting some weights.
and have swam twice (froggie style)since joining the gym.
tonight, tred mill 30 min, bicyle 10 min, swam 20 lengths, few weight machines, showered there and home it took me over 2 hours to do all of that!
following my calorie diet.....not eating any fruit....sigh
sipping a fair beer....I allow myself one now.

Default Hi

Donna, wow 40 lbs is a lot of weight! Congratulations!

Beth, that's great - you're 30% of the way already! with your activity level, i bet the other 14 lbs will melt right off!

----------------
i walked 25 mins today (to the store). and yesterday i went to the post office and back (about 10 mins each way) very brisk on the way there, because the P.O. was about to close. then, pdoc visit... so got a little more activity there too.

wanting to run/jog, but not gonna try it. don't want to mess up my feet and not even be able to walk. we'll see how the walking goes and then... maybe... esp. if i lost some weight, because then jogging would be much less problematic on the feet too.

i'm not really on a diet but i have been trying to eat better and comfort-eat less and pick non-junk foods if i do.

i don't get much fruit either... but i drink fruit juice, and i get lots of raw and cooked veggies. when i went to pdoc i stopped and got some arugula and fresh spinach to add to our lettuce for dinner. makes it yummy and much more nutritious.

good for your walking!!!!!!! dear waves!!!!!!!!
we have to start slowly.
like you said you DON,T want to reinjure your feet!
Jeff likes argula and yes it adds nutritious value to any salad or jsut steamed by itself.
I like all sorts of greens these days,
collard, mustard, turnip, kale and chard, spinach, they are all so good for us!!!!
they are super foods anti aging foods that we should be eating lots of regularly!!!!!!!
I have a head of cabbage that I am not sure what to do with....
I wacked my hand on the treadmill tonight, TWICE!!!!! ouch my index finger knuckle is all swollen....
I am thinking that I will concentrate on swimming...it works out my shoulder and cardio at the same time.....it feels good to swim. I swam 30 lengths tonight, 15 laps of free style and breast stroke, I bought goggles and used them for the first time since high school!
was at the gym 2.25 hours...this working out stuff is really a commitment!

thanks Beth

no walking today... umm, i was supposed to take a quick amble down to the bar to get my phone charged (i know it sounds weird, bar, phone charge - but that's where they sell them and drinking is not involved lol) but i didn't... or haven't.

but tomorrow is supposed to be sunny again (rain today) and i promised my mother i would go to the other store (walk) to pick up some things she needs. dad tried to go today in the rain but i managed to dissuade him and said i needed to go tomorrow so i would get exercise.

i can't seem to walk for the sake of it, but if there is a purpose, i seem to be able to do it, even if pulling teeth, at the moment!

eating well... had more salad this afternoon gotta eat up the greens today they are wilting!

Cereal for breakfast.

Not sure what the lunch was called but it was good. I ate a small amount.

Then had a peanut butter sandwich for supper.
