How did everyone's day go???

[christa]

Hey guys! Glad to hear that everyone is doing so well!!!

Buckner: My day today was very long. Went to my MIL's 50th birthday party (I HAD CAKE!!!) . . . LOL . . . . . . But believe me, I've been working my butt off this week, just looking forward to that! Anyway, came home and made dinner, chicken fajitas with peppers & low carb fajita shells. YUM! Oh yeah, I had more of a "brunch" than breakfast or lunch . . . had tuna Didn't exercise today but I never do on Sunday. It's ALWAYS my off day, no matter what!

Cathy: I've heard the watermelon thing . . . I've also heard that you can eat an apple before every meal (full of fiber) or just drink a full glass of water. You'll eat less.

Cataholic: As far as protein bars go, you have to watch the sugar content too. The best protein bar on the market, imo, is Pure Protein. Tastes awesome too! I eat them after my weight training workouts. They have a few more calories, but have half the sugar, and double the protein. I even eat them as a meal replacement, *when absolutely necessary* . . .

popcornbird: Glad to hear of your success! The *carb diet* never works! I wish that never was a fad because it has worked for some but it has let so many people down . . . What happens is, people stop eating carbs all together, loose weight, and then as soon as they eat one little carb, they blow up like a balloon! What you have to do is learn to eat the RIGHT CARBS! Good carbs! Your body needs them! Good luck with that few extra pounds! Maybe our thread will motivate you to get MOVING!!!

Pam: I am glad you are enjoying the thread, although I wish you would compare me to someone besides *richard simmons* Come on now!!! Anyway, I get your point . . . and I really appreciate it. I'd like to help just one person be as happy as I am with myself . . . be healthy & happy in their skin. Congrats to you for bringing your cholestrol down, and for doing it the RIGHT way, and not having to go on meds!!! That is wonderful! I am currently *coaching* my mom through the same thing, hoping that she can get hers down by changing her eating habits. She's lost weight, so I know something is working!

Christa it is just a continuing battle for me, i am not blaming medication though for my weight problem, because it is not the reason i have a weight problem, i am a comfort eater too, i just find now that i have medication that tends to make me hungry just that much harder, how do i get through it, well just sheer determination and stopping that voice in my head saying "go on one won't hurt" ,not sure if i ever will get the achieved results i want, but i am a tryer for sure, i never ever give up on myself, maybe for a period of time, but never forever.
