Working my weigh down
By Charlene Wallace
Published on Monday, January 14, 2008 8:17 PM AKST
Hi. I did the weigh in registration yesterday than my lab test this morning. Started the day with a huge headache and sore throat. Not a good way to begin my new weigh of life. I do have a menu master that I am going to go by for the next few months till the contest ends, though my goal will probably not be met til Jan 09'. Wish I could wish it all away. :) For Breakfast, I had a fruit smoothie then waited 20 minutes and ate a toasted bagel with my decaf coffee(new for me, hope to get used to it), lunch was a very large chef salad with homeade ranch dressing and water (which is usually hard for me to drink, so I bought solo cups, lids and straws, and it helps encourage water drinking at home). For my snack before dinner, an apple, than for dinner we had green beans and roasted chicken in a butter gravy (yum, and no flour). Finishing the day off with a herbal tea. Starting weight and goal weight. 193.6/130 Good luck to all!

I think it has snowed more in these two days then it has in 3 months. I think Kari hit in on the nose when she wrote that it took some time for us to put on these pounds so it will take some time to take it off. I look forward to sharing my attained goal when I reach it, on 1/2009. As for all the blogsters out there, even if this blog goes away there are lots more to find on other sites. "

D:spaghetti w/noodles... usually would have zucchini noodles yet I didn't make the time this weekend to stock up on better choices
S:apple and peanut butter.
Need to stock up with more good stuff so the bad for me foods won't be so tempting. 4/1 Don't let yourself be fooled today, I have started off great w/fruit smoothie. I must prevail for the day. Happy April! "

We finished off the girl scout cookies, and don't plan on buying anymore. Really loved those hawaiian coconut ones though! Anyhow, hope you all are doing great. Lets have a spectacular spring. "
Charlene wrote on Mar 26, 2008 9:52 PM:
L:sausage w/color peppers and onion stir fry...yum!
D:weird but fruit smoothie and oranges again. Convenience (or desperation to lose something for the end of this contest, not to win, but to justify.). Anyways.
I hope my labs are better...
I wonder if it will snow tomorrow? "

snacked on Hawaiian bread tonight...definitely not good, as it is sweetened with something. Most days I am so good and others I just can't resist. I did buy a ton of fresh veggies and fruits tonight though and that should help curb other temptations. "

I started off just right with a fruit smoothie and then tried to take a midday nap and slept in and forgot to take my sons lunch to him at school and so joined him during his recess and we had lunchables (all bad) and then I had a club sandwich w/toast for dinner. I also snacked on two mini chocolate bars at work. Not a good day. Looks like I will have to workout for four hours and be really good w/ the greens today. "
