Thanks for answering! I guessed that it probably wasnt good for me but I had more veg than cous cous so I will keep it that way, I mostly stick to sandwiches at work because I dont have much time to eat and prepare food there and its just easy I guess! But it will be wholemeal bread with low fat fllings

Sounds great! I just don't know much about couscous cause I've never had it. We eat sandwichs here - whole wheat bread, deli turkey, spinach lettuce. Have you ever tried making a wrap instead? (kinda gets you away from eating so much bread) Anyway, you can get whole wheat tortillas or even veggie tortillas . . . wrap up ANYTHING and make a super healthy lunch. (they're also really easy to wrap in plastic wrap & take with you to lunch - I used to make them for hubby's lunch all the time!) Anyway, I make mine with whole wheat or a spinach/veggie tortilla (my fav), and then I always use spinach lettuce . . . then whatever we have in the fridge . . . either tuna, turkey, chicken . . . then I sprinkle on some Feta cheese crumbles (love feta!), wrap it up and it makes the yummyiest lunch ever!!! just an idea, LOL!

I couldn't post what happend last week since I was on vacation. But I did really good, and was active all last week with a lot of swimming and walking (the view was gorgeus so I wanted to walk a lot) This week I am very busy preparring for the agility trial so I have to get a lot of dog treat cooking and clipping done for Zoey. Luckilly everything is meat so I won't be eating the dog treats . I did really bad yesterday because we made brownies for a family get together. Sunday's are always hard for me. I just got back from the orthodontist (sp), they did some major work on my mouth so it looks like I can only eat soft food for another week. Anybody have any healthy soft food recipes for vegheads?

I am very proud of myself It was our county fair this past week, and I had horse shows all week. I can't say I ate right (I only got about one meal in a day, which was usually breakfast). But, I didn't eat ANY food at the fair, and I didn't drink any pop. I had water, and real lemonade (you got to watch them sqeeze it and stuff). It wasn't at all a "healthy" week, because I didn't get to eat at all. I wasn't hungry, but I should have tried harder to sqeeze in a few more meals. Joining this thread for me, was not about loosing weight at all, it was about eatting healthier, and exercising. Well, this week, I was on my feet all day, Wed. - Sunday. I only got about 4-5 hours of sleep every day. I was up at 5:30am and didn't even get home until about 12am. I lost about 10lbs in that time, I'm at about 115, and I'm 5'6". Today, I've at 2 meals, but I feel SO full, from not eatting this past week. Just wanted to share with everyone!!

Good luck to everyone for the next week!

I'm still hanging around. I know I haven't posted lately but I've been lurking. I'm having a hard time. I had lost 9 pounds but I put 3 of them back on. I'm not giving up though. I woke up late today so I didn't feel like breakfast. For lunch we had chicken breasts w/mozzerella cheese over brown rice and some mixed veggies. I already have a nice salad fixed for my supper tonite. I can't seem to do any exercise. I really need some help in that area. So hard for me to get motivated. I'm just so tired and carrying around so much weight that it just seems so hard to me. I have out of state relatives coming to stay for awhile in Oct. and I haven't seem them for quite some time and I don't want them to see me like this. Alden just bought a motorcycle and I can't even ride on it with him because I'm too heavy. Those are two good incentives to go along with trying to be healthy. I can't believe I'm even talking about this stuff. Its so embarrassing. Thanks for letting me talk.

It's 2:00 pm and I've been good so far today on what I've had to eat. My eliptical machine broke during my exercises, but (thankfully) we have a three year maintenance contract. NOTE: Always buy the maintenance contract on exercise equipment. They won't be able to fix it until next Monday, but I still have the treadmill and recumbant bike, so no excuses. We are having some awfully hot and humid weather, so my routine was a bit shorter than usual. Maybe I will pick up a bit more this evening.

I've just got to get into the routine of dieting. Christa, I know you don't believe in dieting, but as far as I've concerned, anytime one eats less than one wants to eat....that's a diet. I just have to eat considerably less or the weight just won't come off. For me it is a health issue. I know once I can get into the routine of eating less, it will be easier, but I just haven't been able to get past those necessary first 3 days, so every day, I start out again.

Just a quick report in with successful news, I have finally shed the 2 kgs i put on over winter, now onto the next ten before summer hits officially.

Carole,
That is FANTASTIC news!!!


Well Done!!!

[jazzcat]

Congrats Carole, that is great!

It cooled off enough that I could tolerate walking outside last night at 10 pm. We got about a mile in before we overheated.

Hubby is off today so we are going to the gym together. He's dealing with a pinched nerve so he won't last too long but I'm sure it will be long enough for me to get in my normal workout.

[buckner]

Just as I suspected, I've already lost weight by just eating at the "normal" times. We'll see how much more I can lose! WOO!

I've been doing good food wise. Exercise wise, ehh, does sleeping count? HAH! Yesterday, I went to Berea with a friend to visit some of his chums down there. We walked all over campus several times. The town was created around the college, so walking is your best bet! ((Plus, it's great for ya! I can't wait until August 28th comes! I get to move down there, and officially start my college life. But, I'll have access to a fitness center, along with all of the walking I'll have to do. YAY! But anyways.)) We walked everywhere, and I was starving almost all day. LMAO! Had a grreeaattt breakfast. Didn't think I'd be all that hungry, but I was starving after walking everywhere.

Anywho. I'll be back later, I suppose. ;P
