*Carla's Diary*

well hello....Monday again huh? So here is what I have had today....

bfast: special k/skim milk
snack: some mini rice cakes
supper: grilled chicken breast and a salad

not much water today though.

I had a great workout at the gym today too. I was with my trainer and we did a lot of new exercises. And I did 20 mins of cardio (bike).

And tonight I had a popsicle...hehe. I am hooked on them.

So ya thats really it, an uneventful day!

all the best

Great job on the diet and exercise! I live in a really small town and all the gyms we have are more male-centric, which is a total bummer. I work across the street from one that is run by an ex-Mr.Universe, but I don't think I would ever have the confidence to go there.

Anyway, it sounds like you are doing an incredible job, I'm sure you'll reach your goal in no time!!
 
so its the last of the month already, this month flew!! and my birthday is now less then a week away, gonna be a good laugh!

So here is what I have eaten today:

bfast: special k/milk
lunch:all I had was a power bar (it was a good one though a triple threat caramel one)
dinner: broiled porkchops
snack:1 cup strawberries, 1/2 cup kiwi

I am after having 3 bottles of water today, I should be drinking more!

I just got back from the gym, I did 35 mins cardio, crunches, and pushups.

well I am off to watch the hockey game on tv (toronto vs. tampa bay)

I will chat with everyone later!!
 
Great job on the exercise!! You're doing great!

Do you find the power bars keep you satisfied until your next meal? I have seen a variety of bars at the store, but I haven't bought any yet. There are quite a few to choose from. I worry that I would still feel deleriously hungry and eat like three instead of one. Do they work well for you? I think it would be nice to have something I could keep in my purse and eat if I get stuck out shopping or eating somewhere with the kids.

I hope you have a wonderful birthday! Any special plans?

Keep up the great work!! You are doing awesome! :)
 
Fluff I find the power bars pretty good! I like the taste, and I find they give me lots of energy. Now I use one as a snack in the day a bit before my workouts, so I dont know how full they would keep you. I eat the PowerBar Triple Fusion, they actually taste good!

So I won't get to the gym today, which sucks, but it's not my fault! There is a major snow storm here today, and the gym has closed for the day, and the roads are not safe to drive on anyways. So I am hauling out the old Gazelle tonight to get my 30 mins. of cardio done tonight, and I have my exercise ball so I will do my crunches, squats, push ups too. So it won't be too bad.

Food is doing okay so far, I had a bite of a doughnut earlier (just a bite) but it was good, lol. So here is what I have had to eat today

-special k/skim milk
-500 ml water
-my bite of the doughnut!


And I dont know what I am eating for dinner yet, but it will be something healthy. So I am off to see what I am eating!

all the best

I am back...

for dinner I had a ceasar salad ( well lettace, 1 tbsp dressing, 1 tbsp bacon bits, 1 tbsp parmeson, with one cup of grilled skinless chicken breast)
and a diet coke.

So that wasnt to bad! And it was really really really good!

So I have been stuck in the house all day, but I got a half hour cardio done, with all my exercise ball things too. Stupid snow storm!! I cant go anywhere, roads are horrible! But thats okay, got a day off work.

I am online now looking at Dominican resorts. We are looking to go to the Dominican Republic March or April. We went last year and had an amazing time....so we are looking to go again. We have a tight budget, but we are looking to go last minute so its a lot cheaper. So I now have another reason to lose weight....to look good in my bathing suit!

Well thats it for now......I am watching 'The Biggest Loser' right now, and its back on....cya!!

Sounds like an awesome vacation you guys are planning!! Fun! I can see where that would be a great motivator for you too. :)

You're doing great! Keep up the great work you are doing!

What did you think about the Biggest Loser last night? I could not believe how much the guys lost!! And that one teenage girl for the blue team - wow. I was a bit sad to see that next week is the last week for the Biggest Loser. :( The show has been such an inspiration to me.

Hope your having a great day. :)
 
I love love love caesar salads. Theres a little local pizza place that makes those, as well as the best pizza..which is WHY i stay away from there!

and look at you! youve lost 12 pounds already! way to go!
 
Thanks Fluff and SkinnyKate! I am feeling great today!! I have lost an additional 5 pounds, so I am currently at 205.....My mini goal right now is to get below 200 !!!!

So today has been good! here is what I have eaten so far:

-specail k/skim milk (I am need a different morning cereal!)
-garden salad w/1 tbsp dressing, 1/2 whole wheat club house sandwich (with no sauces on it)
-500 ml of water so far....

Gym today too! 30 mins cardio, and all that fun stuff!!

Well, we have to much snow. Anyone on here that is reading this that enjoys warm weather year round, I hate u. I am sorry I do. There is like four feet of snow drifted outside my door. I hate it. All I keep thinking is that I am going on a trip in the upcoming months, dont know where in Dominican, but as long as its warm, and there are drinks!! lol

all the best!

Hi there Canadian Girl! I'm from Manitoba so I get what you're saying - I hate people who stay warm too! Just wanted to say good for you! You are doing great! 17lbs lost is fabulous - you must feel good! Keep posting!
 
Another five pounds is awesome!! Congrats!! :) Are you planning on rewarding yourself once you get to your mini goal?? I think you definitely should.

Ok, so I am not going to tell you how warm it is outside here, cause I really dont want you to hate me. lol. Sorry about the rotten snow. Four feet of snow doesnt sound too fun. Think Spring. Think Spring. Think Spring! :)

Keep up the great work!! You are doing seriously great!
 
Thanks for all the support guys! I have been working very, very, very hard in the gym and watching what I have been eating. I just got home from work and I am so tired! And I have a toothache! So theres my complaining for the day.

Anyways, I have dont okay for today with food

I had a coffee this morning, for break I had a small banana and I tall glass of water, and for lunch I had a toasted bagel with becel margarine and a tall glass of water of course. and for my small snack now I am having a strawberry smoothie (ice, low fat frozen yogurt, and strawberries) its really good!

I dont know what I am having for my dinner yet. Something good of course!

I wont be going to the gym today, but at work I got my cardio work out!! I work in housekeeping, and believe me I sweat!

Hope everyone is doing good!!
all the best
carla

my bda is on monday!! woot! cant wait!
 
Hi! I hope your tooth is feeling better! Nothing serious I hope. You are dong such a good job on eating. The strawberry smoothie sounded great! Yum.

I believe you about housekeeping being a cardio workout. I know just from cleaning the house, it can wear me out sometimes. Lots of lifting, bending and climbling stairs. I must be burning calories doing all that!

Hope you are having a great weekend! Keep up your great work! Get that tooth better too. :)
 
thanks fluff, all your comments are great!! I am here drinking margaritas!! my bday is ....well now because it is 12 am here. And I dont care how many calories are in them....because they are sooooo good!!!
 
Happy Birthday!!!! :) Hope you have a great one! :) :) :) :)
