Fitness Fridays Health Club #10: Even if you're on the right track...

[dragonfly]

169!?!? Congrats everyone! I have not been doing very well, I have been excersising, but not eating healthy! It's a huge challange for me to eat well. Anybody know of any healthy deserts?

Fruit is a really good dessert. I like a light yougurt with about 1 tablespoon of low fat granola stirred into it, I pretend it's an ice cream sundae. Quaker peanut butter chocolate chip rice cakes, they are 60 calories a cake and 1 gram of fat, but they make a great replacement for when you really want a candy bar.

Next week I get to really up my exercise as two of my boys will be off to school in the mornings. Once they are out the door the baby the dog and I will be off for a nice brisk walk. Plus I have been making sure to do more cooking at home and easing back into the whole foods type of diet. It's still hard since the hubby is working out of town and I'm so busy but it will be worth it.

WOW 169! That's awesome! I have lost 34 so far, keeping it up! I also have a Bowflex, it has been a lot of help because I hate going to the gym, so I can stay home and exercise. I also have a gazelle, so I warm up on that and walking Roscoe, then I Bowflex 3 days a week. I have seem a big difference with it. I usually don't care much for exercising, but I have a tv in that room and I can watch tv while I work out, so that helps a lot.

As for healthy desserts, I like fat free sugar free fudgcicles... what's even better is take one off of the stick and put it in a bowl, out it in the microwave for about 7-8 seconds, add a spoonful of peanut butter and a little lite cool whip - yummy!

Don't do it Carmen! Being thin is much tastier than those chips! You can resist!

Come on everybody!! Keep it up!!


Ok, so I thought all the snacking would stop when I went to school again for that fall....well, it did. Dead in its tracks. All I eat now is something yummy for breakfast, a SMALL lunch, and supper. Today was the first time I ate something else, but that was only because I was so hungry, I couldn't hardly stand it.

School lunch SUCKS. We have open campus, but I don't want to eat at Taco Johns and crap like that for lunch everyday! At school you can either go Ala Cart (sp) and get a bunch of different things, most of which aren't healthy (I've never been through that, the line is WAY too long, and the stuff I see ppl come out of there to eat makes me want to gag. (ginormous cookies, pizza burgers ) So far I had a part of a hamburger that was the driest thing I've eatten that I can remember, and I had the "school lunch" today, which was "taco's" or "puke on a plate". lol. It was disgusting.

I've lost about 3 pounds since Tuesday.
