Jaclyn's diary

Hey babe! That is SOOOOo cool ...... so so so so cool :) It's awesome when people we havent' seen us in so long are just so shocked! Doesn't it make you feel SO high!? It is the best! Well ... as for your weekend went , haha* i didnt post my food either - SO bad but we're back in the game ;)
 
I dont think we have a publix here. But I am getting addicted to salads myself... throw some good salad ideas at me so I can spice up my platers would ya hun? :D
 
Hey everyone, thanks for all your posts. You guys are so great! I did have a good time with Dan last night. :) We're having fun. I couldn't see him tonight because I'm up to my ears in schoolwork. Agh! I'm getting ready to write a paper about Shakespeare's 'Much Ado About Nothing' right now, then I have several other things to tackle. I want to finish all of it so I can see him tomorrow.

I feel like I'm slipping. Obviously I already told you guys my eating this weekend wasn't good at all. I did go out today and I spent $60 on healthy food and salads stuff. Here are my salad ideas so far Christina:

I'm starting with a base of spring mix, hearts of romaine, carrots, tomatoes, red onions, cucumbers, and red peppers. Then I have several ideas for making them different and tasty.

1. Asian style salad, with mandarin oranges, chow mein noodles (just a few for crunch!) and Asian ginger dressing
2. Cobb style salad with veggie Chick'n, veggie bacon, and a hardboiled egg, topped with honey dijon
3. Taco style salad with seasoned veggie ground beef, some coby jack cheese, and this cool black bean cheddar dip stuff I got (the dip is pretty low in cals)
4. Sweet salad, with apple slices and strawberries, topped with a poppy seed dressing
5. Simple salad topped with raspberry vinegarette.

I got all the stuff to make all of those different salads. I have premade three "base" salads and I will have to go back to the store for more lettuce once I eat those three. I don't want to buy too much and let it go bad.

I need to pick it up with water. I'm always on the go, so the only time I ever remember to drink a lot of water is when I'm sitting at work. But even then I get drowsy and pop a Diet Coke for the boost. I like water though, so I definitely need to drink more.

Exercise is another. The only exercise I've been getting is with Dan. :) And there isn't enough of that. I'm planning on buying a bike as soon as the weather cools down (sometime in November hopefully.) I'm also planning on joining Curves once I can find one that will let me pay monthly.

I'm on a plateau, stuck at 175 from 240. I've accomplished a lot and my life has changed a lot since I first started. I really do want to shed the last 30...I just feel stuck right now. But I'll stick to it and hopefully be able to move soon!

Breakfast:
Slim Fast Stawberry Cheesecake Bar (220)

Lunch:

You're doing fine!! I know how you feel - like your stuck! Just get back into it - up your water, get some more exercise .. & keep it up with Dan ;) ... Ibet just upping your water will make a big difference!

Upping the H2O will definatlely help. Thats what gets me moving... usually to the washroom! lol and exercise.... hmmm.... do you have time to do a video? Like 20 min for Pilates or 30 min for Tae Bo? They give you a mega boost when you finish... Or there are TONS of other videos.... get the Bike! Bikes are fun, I should take mine out more often....

haha at least you're writing it all down though! So you can see what you've been eating ... not terrible snacks though! Everything else is looking really good, so I wouldn't worry! =) Keep going!
 
hey babe... good luck with all that homework - I hear ya!!!

I'm so glad to hear that things are going well with Dan!!! I'm actually really jealous, b/c i miss my finacee so much... he's 9 hours away and I haven't seen him for two months!!! two weeks to go, and then I get to go home and visit though!

I hear you and your struggles to get over the hump right now... I'm honestly struggling with these last few pounds... it doesn't seem like there is anything I can do to make it happen. I want to go out with friends and have a good time, but it also means that I set myself back another pound or two. grr... good luck to you - and hopefully you can get over the hump and I can get these last three pounds gone!
 
Only three pounds Amomono! You're awesome!

That sucks that your fiance is so far away.

Kc, I got the dip at the store, its in the fruits and veggies section by the salsas and cold dressings. Its pretty good.
