hey Ranae! i here just had to make some supper! how are u?
Hey there .. soooo glad to see you! Was just getting ready to "remind" you .. per your request. How was your day and what did you make for supper?
lol ty! i was tring to remember not to close the tab today or fall asleep again!! making chicken soft tacos yummy! what did u have?
I'm making dinner myself. I put the kids to bed a little early tonight since they did not take their naps earlier today.
I'm making Progresso Homestyle Vegetable and Rice Soup.
Those sound yummy!!! Had to work late tonight so by the time I got home I was really hungry .. so .. I decided to give myself 2 suppers because I knew I would be hungry later .. so .. egg, toast and turkey now .. and italian wedding soup and fruit later .. 500 calories total.
welcome Joy! is it late where u live at? soup does good too!!
cool!! i am still trying to watch my eating i know its where i fail cus i dont like alot of things and not having a stove yet makes it hard!! you guys sound like yall are doing great though!!
Hello Miss JoyRenee .. (Mrs) .. lol So glad to meet you! Loved your "challenge" idea with your hubby and wonder if you might want to share that with all the members in a post in the forum?
It is not late at all. It's 6:40. They usually go to bed at 7. As they get older I'll definitely push bedtime back but as it was they were having meltdowns and disobeying and NEEDING to get to bed! And of course *I* needed them to get to bed before I pulled my hair out. Gotta love kids!
Soft chicken tacos sound amazing!
Sure, Renae! I'll post it tomorrow. I have to get off the computer in 20 minutes to spend time with The Husband (Daniel). Usually he's at youth group but tonight they're not having it. He's a youth pastor.
I had curried chick peas with brown rice for dinner. With a big plate of green salad.
Am back on track and following my plan after not doing so over the holidays. I take full responsibility and it actually feels great to be eating well again and losing .. however .. I am still fighting the urges for a little bit. That's what sugar and carbs do .. they call for more, make you gain weight, pick you up and drop you .. lolll
However .. THIS is the YEAR to reach my goal. Year #3! Approximately 150 down and 40 to go. lolll
Dang, wonko! That sounds sooooo good and healthy!!!
Thats is great how did you get ur DH on board? I cant even get mine to cut bk on sodas lol!! I C i always wondered how that worked putting kids to bed early lol doesnt hat mean they will put extra early in the AM? lol just curious i dont have any and i cant imagine waking up early i not the AM Type!!
Don't forget sPiCeY, JoyRenee! I don't have kids, so in some ways that's more freedom to cook whatever I like.
Wow, Renae! That is amazing!!! You can do it!
I have to admit that I didn't so good today myself. I try to workout before lunch but it kept getting pushed back to the point I was SO HUNGRY I had to stop 10 minutes into the workout or I'd pass out. Oh well! Tomorrow is a new day.
wonko .. can I come eat dinner with you? That sounds really good! Do you have a recipe for that? How are you doing? Have missed talking with you.
JoyRenee - Understand the time constraints and am glad you had time to share this evening.
gokuangel - Do you have a toaster oven?
hey wonko!! wow you do eat healthy!! I C Ranae maybe thats why im fighting my hunger so much and my weight lol that 130 just doesnt want to go down with a fight!!
wonko, very true! If we make something spicy for dinner the kids get PB&J. We're so creative!
gokuangel- money. That's how I got DH on board. LOL! Whoever loses weight first (50 lbs each) gets the jackpot of $$$. We've already got about $50 in the pot for one month.
I think it is always best to approach each day, or even meal, as a new chance to do things right. In the past, I was too quick to throw in the towel after a bad streak. I'm slowly learning to stick with it, even when the results are slow (or non-existent, as with me the past few months).
no toaster oven just my microwave and my george forman grill lol!!
gokuangel- my kids sleep in until around 8AM and play until about 9AM so I'm LUCKY! I am not a morning person. I stay up until past midnight. Another bad habit I need to nip in the bud to help my losing weight.
That is a common problem to push back eating ... perhaps you can carry a few snacks with you in your purse. For instance .. an apple, a protein bar, a small bag of carrots. Try eating the "carbs" before your workout and the "protein" afterwards .. promise you'll feel better.
And .. give yourself a little time .. these are habits and it takes a while to change them and get in the groove. Even then, there are always a few setbacks and new things to learn. That's what makes it soooo exciting.
