Happy Saturday!
I was a little over on fat intake. I knew I was going to eat higher fat in the evening and I thought I had adjusted accordingly. I feel like I did pretty well (without getting too wrapped around the axle:-)
I did a Circuit Aerobic Workout with 33 min on Airdyne and about 30 min of weights, etc. It all takes about 1 hour and 10 min so the 30 min is a conservative estimate. It includes catching my breath here and there and drinking a ton of water and, of course, a little stretching along the way and afterward.
Hope you have a safe and happy weekend!

I did well. Just kept my diary all day then plugged it all into Fitday. If I remember from trying this scenario before, 40 grams of fat (give or take a few) is just about what I can get away with with this amount of activity without feeling deprived, so today was no exception. I did good:-) I feel good that I did good! I did 52 min/5.5 mi on my NordicTrack--20 min at level 1 and 10 min at level 2.
Hope ya'll have a Happy Friday!
You had a terrific day! I'm happy for you!

dolyda on 02/28/2003:
pfa is at www.physiquetransformation.com .... no, i don't use calipers...always forget to look for them at the store!!...in the PFA there is a place to enter your measurements & weight & it calculates body fat...i just use that...i figure as much fat as i have on my body, it doesn't matter what method i use at this point as long as it's the same method every time...now, when i get down below 20% i may make the extra effort to remember the calipers!! :D

I'm joining a Kyrin 4-Day Challenge. My challenge is to do my plan above--it sits up there on that line, but I haven't taken it too seriously for awhile now. So for the next 4 days I plan to stick to it. Plus I plan to drink 80-100 oz water. Change is good:-)
kyrin on 02/27/2003:
Way to go with the water, gal! ...I fell down a bit with that yesterday. So, I guess that gives me something to work for. {grins} If you can push it, so will I.

I now have two green ink marks on either side of my natural waistline, but my measurements were either the same, down (abdomen), or up a little on calf and bust--neither of which keep me from getting into these pants. It was a mental win to be able to do that. And equally wonderful that the zipper was intact when I shimmied them off--hahaha! Probably more wonderful--I'm gonna be too sexy for my pants, too sexy for my pants, sooo sexxxxy!
I'm at a crossroads. Do I want to be frumpy and keep my belly for the rest of my natural life. Or less-belly-ful and be able at least wear any pants I pull from a shelf or hanger. I sooo can't stand to try on 20 pairs of blue jeans and end up going back to the same old Wrangler squareass types in whatever different color of blue they've come up with. Despite what I may hope for, my bikini-wearing days are probably over. I'm having a flashback to that character Cher used to do--the one with the animal print body suit (was her name Laverne?). I mean I still marvel that I've been able to keep off most of what I originally lost (give or take 5 or so pounds). That's nothing to sneeze at. And it's not easy to do--I marvel at anyone's ability to lose a given amount of weight.
Totally icy, but I had gone to the grocery store yesterday and got home right as sleet/freezing rain started. I bought "Toastables"--a poptart clone, but with "real fruit." Mind you the fruit is NOT blueberry in the blueberry, but apple--I always read the ingredients, etc before I buy something new. This is a pretty common ploy. It's done with those toaster strudels too. By the way, I can't remember who you were, but you mentioned "Fiber 1" in an entry--well, I read that label and ruled it out owing to Aspartame as one of its ingredients, I don't tolerate it at all. My favorite high-fiber cereal is Uncle Sam--it actually tastes good without alot of extra stuff. It's whole wheat with flaxseed added. Not many people buy it apparently, but it's very good IMO.
Speaking of adding fiber to your diet, I have a couple of friends who swear by something called Konsyl--it's 100% psyllium, supposedly better than cellulose-based fiber drinks. Both of these people have acid reflux problems and it seems to help with that somehow too.
I did a NordicTrack workout (Circuit Aerobic) Monday (27 min/2.7 mi). Didn't get in a workout yesterday. Water was about 90 oz yesterday and 20 oz today. I always have a correlation of poor food choices and not enough water.
Hope you have a Happy Wednesday!
Have a lovely day, Biscotti!
Hugs!
Kyrin
I'd never heard of that cereal...my family might like it. Where do you buy it?
Have a great day!

Okay, I'm thinkin' it's challenge time again. A new one's starting tomorrow. What'd ya think? Jumpin' in for a 4 day weekend?
SoccerMom on 02/26/2003:
Girl...if you're ever going to look great in those pants again, you've got to commit to drinking all of your water, every day, OK?? Even if your food choices are horrible, and you acted like a sloth and didn't move much....drink your water. (It washes away a world of mistakes!)
Soon2BThin on 02/26/2003:
Yeah, I'm pretty sure her name was LaVerne. I used to love that show! I wish they'd bring it back in reruns like they do with some shows. I agree with you about the pants. It sure would be nice, wouldn't it, to be able to fit in any of them? I keep going the wrong way lately though. I guess we will just keep on dreaming and I'm sure we'll get there some day.
Start: 189 (June 2001)
I've been doing my workouts--Fri (2.21) I did NordicTrack for
I made the high fat version of "Tapioca Cream" from the instant tapioca box. It's really a wonderful (almost luxurious:-) dessert--although I could be waxing nostalgic because I remember it from childhood. I'm going to try it with just whites and FF milk next time.
Hope you're having a good day!

Pants try-on/measurement/weigh-in day is tomorrow.
45 min/4.5 mi (20 min @level 1 incline) and drank about 80 oz water. Sat (2.22) I did my jog--36 min--broken into 29 and 7 min and drank about 100 oz. Sunday was a resting day; except for a little housework and cooking. I took the day off from recording my eats and from a workout (and also from water--only 22 oz). I really needed the break from exercise--backside was rather sore still.

Hello and Happy Friday!
I wanted to jog yesterday, the rain never let up, so I did a hefty indoor workout. I did a Circuit Aerobic Workout (weights, etc.) on the Airdyne (about 50 min total). Then I got on my NordicTrack and did 5.3 mi/51 min (20 min at level 1 and 10 min at level 2). I drank over 100 oz water.
Hope you have a good food day!
Have a great weekend, and remember to ~~SMILE!~~

I have been so busy with my new job that when I get home I have no more energy to do any other form of exercise. WOW! You seem to be doing great. Just wanted to stop in and say thanks for the comment and advice. The cops are still not showing up. I am lucky I have the next three days off. That way I can catch up on my lost sleep. I am been wanting to eat all kinds of bad food choices and I think it is because I am so tired. Right now it is 11pm and they have there kids running back and forth. I wish I could move, but I own this condo. YUCK! Never again. I am buying a house next time. Well you have a great weekend. Hope it stops raining. Beth :)

What I did on Tuesday (2.18) was a NordicTrack workout 37 min/3.5 mi. Drank around 100 oz water. On Wednesday (2.19) I rode for 41 min/10.1 mi on the Airdyne and drank about 90 oz water. Feeling good about my exercise--no conflicts/difficulty getting motivated.
Start: 189 (June 2001)
Down 1 pound and on measurements lost a little, stayed the same, but didn't gain anywhere. Woo-hoo all credit for the 4-day Kyrin Challenge! Did a 35 min jog (21-5-9 min)--I couldn't do it without the breaks--thanks to no days of exercise break. I'll take it any way I can get it! I drank 104 oz water.
Have a good evening all!
I managed to send hubby off to shop by himself this morning. Then, still in the mood to shop, he came home and got our son Matt for company. They had a guys' afternoon out while I stayed home and did a bit more of my workout plan.
Everybody wins!

Sounds like you're on your way to your goal, it's certainly obtainable by April! I read your last entry where you mentioned the acid washed jeans, so so funny! :) No offense, but I doubt they'll be coming back in style anytime soon. ;)

I'm not counting out days or miles. I'm just going to try to continue to maintain water, exercise, sensible food choices and lowered caffeine. Oh, and the "pants alert," which is an exercise in keeping mindful and visualizing the short green indelible-ink marks on either hip. Visualizing, so that I don't have to run around with hot pants (my age is showing:-) searching for a full-length mirror all day or something.
kyrin on 02/18/2003:
Woo-Hoo! You're doin' great, Biscotti! I'm so proud of you! {grins} I love that green marker visual. I wasn't that inventive. I just took a photo.

Now for the pants. I found an old picture and I still have the pants I was wearing in the picture. I would like to be able to get into those pants again--just for the heck of it:-) Well, maybe so I can look and feel better too!
So I remembered PastaGal saying to try on your pants (that you want to get into everyday). Well, I tried them on and I just couldn't believe . . . I've taken various pictures of myself and other little gimmicks to snap me back into reality, but this is practically a shocker. Seems I tried these on 4 or 5 years ago and could at least get them over my hips (just couldn't zip them). Must have been a much much longer time ago. Because today I couldn't get them past about mid-thigh--boo-hoo and ha-ha! All at once.
It will be amazing to me if I can sustain this as a motivator. It doesn't seem like something that will keep me going, but gosh how fun it will be to tell people, "Wha ah hain't been able ta put these here britches on in umpty-ump years--whaddaya think!" The other hilarious part is they are acid-washed--maybe by the time I can fit into them, acid-washed, tightish, straight-leg, high(ish)-waist fancy pants will be back in style, hahahahaha ROTFLMAO!
Enjoy your Monday--and to everyone who got (or is still getting) too much snow--stay warm--I wish that we had just a little of it here!
That could be us!

For Saturday, I met all my challenge goals except the water--66 out of 100 oz. I did 30 min on the Airdyne--really had to push myself to get started. For Sunday, I met all goals except the water--88 out of 100 oz. I did a NordicTrack workout 5.1 mi/52 min (31 min at level 1 elevation).
kyrin on 02/17/2003:
I know what ya mean about pullin' on those older pants and having reality hit. I have some that are really calling me to wear them again. I can't imagine that I <i>ever</i> comfortably wore those...and that may be part of the problem. I need to imagine being successful and sliding into them again. As long as I was telling myself "Maybe I can't do it," I was giving myself an out. I want to get into those jeans! One of the most motivational journals that I found recently shows a gal that takes pictures weekly. She took a photo of herself trying to get into those goal pants every week. And every week, we could see those pants sliding up a little farther...until one day she had them on, zipped, and looked comfortable wearing them.
SoccerMom on 02/17/2003:
I have a pair of size 10 jeans that were my favorites....years ago....and my goal is to be able to wear them again sometime this year. My 14's are still snug in the hips, but getting looser in the waist and legs, so I know I'm making progress. I have some shorts in 12, and I'll start trying them on occasionally to see how much more I have to do to get into them. Could be (like you said) waaahhhh, and ha-ha! at the same time.
chubbyknees on 02/18/2003:
What a hilarious entry today!!! I love the fact that your goal pants are acid washed high waisted & straight legged!!! I need a pair of goal pants. Right now I have a size 14 skirt I'm aiming for, but I can kid myself into thinking it fits. (although it looks like something's about to give when I have it on...)

I fell down a bit on my water consumption yesterday as well. Ah, well, we'll try harder.
Re: the cookbook. Was it Pickled Beets? I thought I remembered that you don't usually eat them that way...or maybe the edition I have added a cinnamon stick to the recipe and that made them likeable for me (don't usually like pickled beets). Anyway, now you've inspired me to go drag out my cookbooks and see if I can make something healthy as a veggie and as a treat. (If I'm gonna do one, I should probably do the other. LOL)
Have a good'un today!

I'm doing pretty well with the (Kyrin-inspired) challenge. I ate my 2 svg each of fruit and veg. I drank about 44 oz (out of 100) of water--I usually don't drink alot unless I'm really doing a hefty workout. The best part is I did about a 35 min walk--a new trek for me, because I usually opt for an indoor workout or jogging. (I used to walk a ton a few years ago.) I really enjoyed the walk, it was cool and humid and not too windy--great walking weather.

OMG! All that exercise activity already! I haven't done anything except put my soup together and cook it, then had breakfast.
Yes, the blueberries are grown here, but I didn't pick them. The local produce market has them in season, and you can buy flats of them very cheap. I buy them, clean them, then freeze them in baggies for use during the winter months.They are big and juicy sweet. I love them in any hot cereal. I do the same with strawberries when they are in season. They taste completely different than those big red hard ones that are shipped in from California during the winter months. Have a good day!

kyrin on 03/01/2003:
You did pretty well with your fat intake. It was less than 25%, which is wonderful. Like you, if I get it too low, it takes all the fun out of the day's food. ...and I'm still hungry. ...Way to go with the fiber! I pushed it yesterday looking for ways to include more in my intake. Did you know that Calimyrna figs (dried) have 5 grams? I've just started eating them again. They're like a fig newton without the cookie part. Love those! Anyway, thanks, Biscotti.
We're doin' great at pushing and pulling each other along. Yea, us!
