OK eating for the last two days still not GREAT but not BAD either, lol. I'm hoping to do well today -going to CURVES this morning too (that will = 4 times this week!) So I'm still doing well with stickign to that - I just hope there are some results when it coems to measuring time in two weeks or I will be overly disapointed, lol

Great job sticking to the curves thing! Doesn't it feel awesome when you force yourself to go and meet your 4-5 times a week goal and come back all sweaty? I love it! I really like your pitcher of water idea..it's a great way to know exactly how much you've drank and how much you still need to drink. great work with everything!

WEnt to curves this morning - it was really really busy! But I made sure to work hard! lol. At mine we do the circuit 2 times and then 3 extra machines so I'm thinking my new goal will be to try doing an extra 2 machines on top of the 3 - just for an added punch to the workout since I am not usually on a time constraint.
Goal 2- drink more water - I know this is constantly my goal but I need to get in the habit of following it!

omg - just cleaned our 50 gallon fish tank - now THAT was a workout! I am ooozing sweat, lol. Carrying large buckets of water up and down the stairs - my arms will be HUGE

lol - way to go!

after a week or two mia = i'm back and ready to go... i'm packing my lunches and eating smart and trying to be good!!!

Well since you're back - and focusing on food, I'd better get working again too! lol. Keep eachother in check!

Curves was intense today - I am really frustrated about waiting to hear back about a job - a friend of mine heard back yesterday and I'm in limbo waiting! Sooo....took it out on my workout! lol - felt Great afterwards! Hopign to go insane again tomorrow!

**I'll start recording food again when it's not so gross - although it's still Dinners that are KILLING me - so I need to focus on that -

Feeling Lazy today but it's in the plan to go to CURVES! lol.
Tonight is a BBQ at my parents, so I need to focus on healthy eating all day - my mom is pretty good about having veggies/dip as snacks though so that's good

Starting OVer Today!

Okay, I am officially having a good day food/exercise wise so it's the first day of my new start - my weight is higher than it was when I started before - gross, so I need tomake a new ticker - and keep track! Curves was great today - I'm actually having FUN exercising and wow, what a difference it makes! lol.

Food:
Breakfast - Egg on Toast, glass of water, coffee
Lunch (haven't had it yet)
Dinner (haven't had it yet)

Exercise: CURVES (+ 3 machines!)

keeping track of my food here definately helps and I hope it works for you too!!! dinners usually kill me as well - but if I eat enough the rest of the day and do portion control its much easier to finish the day strong!

you might have gained some weight through just the muscle you are putting on - they do inches measurements and stuff at curves, don't they? hopefully it means that you are just toning up =)

Hey!
They do once a month measurements at Curves (Mine is on the 4th) so hopefully that shows some improvements. My weight hasn't changed much - and it MAY be partially due to muscle, but I'm thinking I don't look much different either - meaning I need to Keep on myself about the food!!

Yesterday
Breakfast - Egg on Toast, glass of water, coffee
Lunch 1: Home made tacos 1 1/2 : Tortillas, brown beans, tomatos, sour cream, lettuce

Lunch 2: Tuna sandwich on whole wheat and Tomato Soup, water

Dinner: Hamburger (on bun with toppings), Hot dog - no bun/no toppings, water

Snack: Microwave popcorn - lots. lol

Overall: Not too bad, I give myself an OK for yesterday - I can do better, but that was a much better day than I've been ahving lol. I need to drink more water, again, I did okay, but not great!

Today:
Curves + 4 machines! Didn't work as hard as yesterday but I had a muffin for breakfast - not a lot of protein...

make sure you watch portions! I have the horrible habit of making a bag of popcorn and sitting down and eating the whole thing... this last time, I made the bag, divided it into thirds - and then I have three snacks for around 150 cals a piece... and that amount was enough to fill me up. Setting aside a set portion helps so much!

p.s. way to go on the exercise!!!!!

THanks! And thanks for the good idea - cause I definitely eat way too much if the whole bag is sitting in front of me

Dinner was a TV dinner tonight - not a GREAT choice, but considering what I've been eating, not BAD - Home alone on a Friday night - what's a girl to do? lol

Lunch: Tomato Soup/Tuna Sandwich
Breakfast: Muffin (Not super healthy and next to no protein, BAD choice)

Drank a fair amount of water today, but am drinking vodka/lemonade in my lonliness tonight, lol - the Fiance went to a drive in with friends - I worked too late to go. Oh well - nice and quiet night to read my new book!
~Nicole~

I definately need to up my water intake - everytime I look here I get reminded =) and a drink here and there won't hurt =)

Saturday = BAD FOOD DAY.
Let's just say the afternoon started off with a Portuguese wedding shower...Then friends came over we all went out for wings and hten came back here...Gross to food yesterday. SOooo To make up for it, today I will drink double the amount of water I'msupposed to and have to pee every five seconds

Too bad Curves is closed on Sundays lol
