Low Glycemic Paying off ?

Well checked weight and I am sitting at 225.7 so either I will YoYo back and forth with those few pounds or watching my Glycemic index for foods is paying off. 

Last night I forgot to take a picture of my meal and upload it but BBQ Ribs and a big fresh salad with home made basil salad dressing was just to yummy to wait to eat :)

So it's housework today and lots of it hope I can do at least 5000 on my Fitbit, and the coffe with no sugar is going to be ruff really ruff. :(

Lunch time meal

Tuna salad with a bit of balsmic vinegar, celery, pickles, and tomatoes yummy for the tummy

Breakfast and lunch for 7/26/13

Breakfast is a peanut butter banana oatmeal cookie thing with a few mini chocolate chips. Lunch is turkey wraps with carrots and grapes.

Trying for low Glycemic

Well it's Friday and I am so happy it's been a long week. Going with simple meals today shooting for the low glycemic index

Eggs= 0 breakfast

Tuna =10 Lunch (onion,celery)

Ribs=0 dinner

Salad=10 dinner

Ok here is where I screw up my entire low glycemic index my morning coffee I have to learn to drink it black and that is going to take a bit of doing

2- cups of coffee 0 with sugar = 278 OUCH ok this weekend is to get off the sugar I put in my coffee, wish me luck

Oh and I won't forget to post picture of health meals today, great idea Kate.

Challenge

OK ladies I have an idea for a challenge since Jaynine can not exercise yet this one will be food based. Since the three of us all have smart phones I think we should post a picture of two healthy meals a day (1 post with 2 pics). And they need to be legitimately health not something you have to reason like a loaded burrito sure it has vegetables and meat but what about all that cheese, french fries and grease.  The reason only 2 meals is sometimes you get busy and you 3rd meal is more snacks (hopefully healthy) then a real  meal. I think this will be a good way to keep each other honest on what we are eating and maybe trading some healthy recipes. What do you guys think?

Underpants Gnomes

Well I got to tell you I feel old and silly right now and let me explain. Last night I sat and did a bunch of research in fact I have done alot of that over the past couple years reading up on fitness and eating right but while researching last night I came across a web site called Nerd Fitness now why I would click on a site like this might be cause of have a bunch of nerds in my family but I came across one of their postings called underpants gnomes. I look at my husband (a very sexy nerd if I do say so my self) and I ask what is an underpants gnomes? The look on his face was priceless, so I do what everyone does, I goggled it. I have to tell you that after reading the Posting on what underpants gnomes are the light got a lot brighter.

So I guess I am going to dominate phase 2 and see if I can put my research in to action.

So many diets to pick from

Well last night did some Internet searching on diets and even though I have a ton of diet books, Weight Watcher, Flat Belly, Runners, and many others I think I am going to watch the carbs and do no processed food for a couple weeks and see what happens. I cannot exercise at this point but will watch what I eat and drink and see what happens.  I was just on the scale and I am at 228.9 so wish me luck :) my goal is 185 and would love to be their by the summer of 2014 and a size 12 wouldn't be bad either tee hee.

Hope to see you girls post soon.

Battle of the Bulge: Candy Edition

I was watching TV last night with some friends, laughing, having a good time, when one of my friends suddenly interjected with a "great idea".  "If I had a restaurant", she says, "I would give people the option to order licorice straws with their drinks." Now for people who don't know what a licorice straw is, it's when you have a piece of licorice, twisted into a tube, and you bite off both ends, effectively making it a straw.  After she said that we went back to watching TV but after that, all I could think of was eating a giant tub of red vines.  Now, I'm the type of person that can't really stop at just one thing.  I can't just have one potato chip, because I just have this compulsion to eat them all.  So after the mention of licorice was made, I couldn't stop thinking about it.  It drove me crazy all night.  I was trying to find something sweet in the house to eat, but the only thing we had that was sweet was jam.  It made me crazy.  And this is the kind of thing I realized about myself when I'm trying to lose weight or get in shape.  I need to start making it a compulsion like the candy obsession, or the potato chip eating.  It needs to be something I regularly do, like get up in the morning , go walking, get ready for work.  Unfortunately at this moment I'm packing for a trip to the Midwest so that might be difficult.  There is going to be a lot of food, but on the upside, there's also going to be a lot of walking.  So maybe it won't be so bad.  Wish me luck I guess!
