Hello, everybody. Made homemade vegetable soup today, been eating some of that. Drinking 64 oz. water. Hope you all are having a good day.
Hello, everybody! It is a cold night here in S.C. I hope all of you are doing well. Calories for today were 1200 approximately. Although I did over 2 miles on treadmill yesterday, I didn't do any today, but did some walking. Maria
Hello, everybody! WOW! We had a GREAT church service this morning! We were all singing praise songs to the Lord Jesus Christ and people were crying, lifting their hands, praying, and worshiping the Lord! It was AWESOME! I love to worship the Lord. I hope all of you are doing well today. Looks like you're all doing well with your food and workout programs. Today, I am doing a low-key calorie day. I overdid it yesterday, so trying to compensate today, also I am really not too hungry, and it is no wonder...I guess I am still full from buffet yesterday. It is a sunny, chilly day here in S.C. I will be looking forward to reading your journals. Maria
I realize I may be risking offending you by what I'm about to say, but I really hope you do not take offense as there is no ill will involved. Basically what I wanted to say was that I understand you may love going to church, but because some of us here either are not of the Christian persuasian, or of no religious persuasion, the language used above can be a bit strong. I realize that you probably have no idea of this - this is probably the language you are used to hearing every day in your community, but you should just know to some it's a bit strong. I know you're not DISCUSSING it per se, only mentionging what you did or like, but it could have been said in a more nuetral tone. I think that when we start involving religion (or politics for that matter) into a board that's supposed to be about dieting and health, well, we're risking creating divisions that we don't need to create - I'm sure this board has many diverse religious and political points of view and perhaps other folks - or even yourself - will disagree with me about taking issue with your comments, but that's the whole reason why I think we need to be careful. There are great forums out there for discussing this stuff, but I don't think this is one of them. Perhaps you think I'm making a mountain out of a molehill and perhaps you're right. I'm not angry or upset or anything, I just wanted you to know something which you are probably unaware - that certain words may have affect on some of us... Again, I hope you are not offended by this, please just take it into consideration the next time as we are not all members of your congragation ;-)
I'm looking forward to getting to know you. Keep up the good work.
Hello, everybody! Well, it looks like all of you have done well today. I am late writing again. It was a warm day here in S.C., it got up to 76 degrees. I went to the next town over and did a little shopping (and returning) this afternoon. Got some paper for the printer, a CD rom cleaner, and hurried back home to get the grill fired up and the burgers cooking on it before the rain came. Hubby came home, the burgers were cooking and the rain held off til about 15 minutes after I got the burgers done. They were soooooo good! My menu today was: Breakfast: egg, plain diet bread toast, 1/2 banana, grapefruit juice. Lunch: Tuna and 1/2 banana. Supper: 2 hamburger patties, no buns, 1 cup string beans, 1 cup baked 'french fries', 1/2 small onion, 1 glass gingerale. 1200 calories. I drank 2 liters water. I love reading each of your journals. Maria
It looks like you had a really good day. In answer to your question--the weather was warm, but rainy. I'm about ready for some of our brilliant Alabama blue skies again, but the weatherman is calling for COLD over the next few days. Guess that means I'll be moving my buns to stay warm. Brrrrrr! Grill something fun for me, would ya? LOL
Glad your burgers turned out good,,,we bbq on the grill alot in the summer,,hubby loves it,,i grill alot on my George Forman grill in the winter months:}
Your menu sounds good to,,,well another weekend before us,hope you have a great one,,mine is busy,tonight i am keeping my lil ashley and brad over night and thats always fun;} Tomorrow going to this Big mall out of town with my daughter shopping,something me and her have not done in ,,gosh i can't remember when,,,so should be fun:} Have a great day maria:}
Hello, everybody...well, the scale is not moving downward yet, but the tape measure is...Also, now my size 10 Levi jeans are fitting perfectly, so I must be doing something right. I hope you all have had a great day today. Mine was a busy one. I took my Mother shopping and we had a good time together. She found a nice red skirt and black top (with embroidery) that she liked and so I got her that and I found 2 nice sweaters (one red, one black) with diamond-looking rhynestone buttons for less than half price and got that, too. Isn't it something, how when you're not looking for something for yourself when you're shopping, there it is...but a lot of times when you go shopping looking for something to wear, it is not to be found. Anyway, she and I were happy with our finds. Then we went to her optometrist and got her new eyeglasses adjusted, as they were too loose. She was happy about that. Just a little while ago, Hubby and I took our nightly one-mile stroll...it was chilly outside, but according to the weather forecast on tv, the high tomorrow is to be 70-75 here in South Carolina...I am waiting to see...if so, I hear the grill out on the deck calling me.... Maria
well you are sounding really upbeat and i love hearing that from everyone:} have a great night and what was it you were cookin on the outside grill??:}}}
I cant' wait for 70� days here... but it will be awhile - sigh.
Hello, everybody! It's been a busy cleaning day over here... washing/drying clothes, cleaning out a closet, etc. I hope all of you are doing well and from your journal entries, it appears you all are. It has been a cloudy day here in S.C. up until about 5 minutes ago and now it is sunny. I went out on the deck a little while ago and it felt warm outside, though not quite as warm as the other day. It is presently 55 degrees here, but feels like it is warmer than that. Come on, Springtime! Barbequed chicken is cooking as I key this. String beans will go with it for supper. It's been a good eating-wise day, banana and grapefruit juice for breakfast, banana and decaf black coffee for snack and a little broiled fish for lunch. Church is tonight and I am looking forward to going. We have been having some really fantastic church services and 25 people got saved at our church last year. I bought some wild birdseed last night and threw some out for the birds this morning. Hope all of you have a great day! Maria
Hello, everybody! Hope you're all having a great day (including a great eating-wise day). Yesterday it got into the 60's here in South Carolina and though it was cloudy real early morning, later in the morning it was sunny, bright, and clear. I went outside on the deck and it felt like early summer it was so warm. I swept some leaves from the trees off of the deck and late in the afternoon, we had a hamburger grillout...what a lot of fun! Tell me, why is it that food cooked outside tastes so much better than food cooked inside? Anyway, so much for having fish the second go round for supper last night. Instead I had a grilled hamburger minus the bun and had salad to go with the hamburger...ummmmm...good! Then last night, since it was so unseasonably warm and felt so good outside, still in the 60's, Hubby and I went for a mile walk together. What a wonderful day. Also, I got in the 64 ounces water. This morning, I've had a mug of cocoa and a banana for breakfast. I really don't know what will be menu for the rest of today, but plan on no bread, low calories. I hope all of you have a GREAT day and I'll be checking back to read your journal entries! Maria
well maria,,,the rest of your day will go great,can tell just by your attitude this morning,,so keep it up ,and have a wonderful day:}}}

That is an "L" at the end of pastagal,not a 1 :}
let me know if you were able to look at the pic ok,
Thank you for your description of being out on the deck... I could just about feel the air on my face! And lucky you, how nice that hubby will take a walk with you! You're doing great, Maria, Keep it up!
Hello everybody! Bluejays are singing in the trees over here. I threw some bread out for them, which they love. I like to watch them swoop down from the tree limbs to the ground, quickly grab their breakfast and fly back up to the tree limbs again. I watch them eat their bread and then go get some more. Well, how is everyone doing today? Are you getting your water and exercise in? I got carried away yesterday and instead of doing a mile, I did over a mile and a half on the treadmill and then got ready for church service last night. Btw, we had a FANTASTIC service at church last night. One of the brothers got up near the end of the service and asked me to play a certain song (I play the piano) and he has a real deep voice and sings beautifully...you should have heard him. One of the songs we all sang was 'Just a Closer Walk With Thee' and on another one, 'Just a little talk with Jesus' he would come in singing 'Now let us...' in his real low voice, right before we all would sing '...have a little talk with Jesus'...as you can see, I am still fired up from our service last night. It was GREAT. I stayed with the menu posted yesterday and got all the water done. So, today's menu is: Breakfast: egg salad, cocoa, tea (no bread). Snack: cup of cantaloupe cubes. Lunch: broiled ocean perch fish, salad, tea. Snack: cup of grapes. Supper: Fish again with celery and lite pimento cheese. I am going to try for another mile and a half (at least) on treadmill today. I have seen times I've lost weight, but didn't wear clothes as small as when I'd lost weight before and was regular about exercising. I guess that's because fat doesn't weigh as much as muscle, but I think it takes up more space. I'll be looking forward to reading your journals today. Maria
You sound very upbeat ,,,and thats always good to hear,,,well you keep it up and have wonderful Monday ok,,,,:}}
You are an inspiration with your exercise and diet menu! Keep it up!
I purchased a Sharp 27" model 300. You can read about it if you go to epinions.com. People rate products they have purchased. The Sharp TV has had some good ratings. I hope it is a good one! I found mine at REX. Do you have one of those stores in your area?
Hello, everybody! Well, how about this? I got on the scale 3 times just to make sure it is true....and it is!!! :-) We just got back from church, had a wonderful church service, the message was on leadership. I got up real early this morning, fixed barbequed chicken, had already fixed potato salad for Hubby yesterday, had plenty left, and string beans. So we came home from church a little while ago and I heated him a plate of the chicken, potato salad, and string beans and I had chicken, minus skin, and string beans. We both had tea. I make mine with just 2 teaspoons sugar per large 15 ounce glass, as I have read too much about artificial sweeteners to trust them. This morning I had an egg salad sandwich (Oooooo! I ate bread!!!) and cocoa. Snack this afternoon will be some fruit (watermelon, cantaloupe, grapes or strawberries), and supper will maybe be fish or chicken and celery with lite pimento cheese. Also, drink at least 64 ounces water, and do a mile on treadmill today. I find that the fruit takes care of sweets cravings. It is a cloudy day here in South Carolina. I am looking forward to the warm, sunshiney spring coming in a couple more months! Have a great day, all of you and I will be checking back to read your journal entries! Maria
Hi, everybody! Well it is the weekend! I hope all of you are having a great (and safe eating) one! It is a beautiful day here in South Carolina today, cool and sunshiney. I am looking out the window currently and watching 2 squirrels playing near the top of an oak tree. There was a bluejay on the tree limb earlier, singing (I think he was singing 'It Will Soon Be Springtime, So All of You DietDiary Journalers Get To Work!') and I threw him some bread to eat. Well, I am doing well with my 64 ounces of water a day and 1 mile on the treadmill. Slowly getting to goal of 140. I know I'm eating a lot of fruit here lately, but I bought it so I've got to eat it...but I haven't forgotten about vegetables. I think I just got carried away in the grocery store. So, today will be approximately the same menu as yesterday, only there will be a broiled porkchop instead of fish in menu somewhere, lunch or either supper. Hubby LOVES FRIED porkchops, so I am going to fix him some today and broil mine. Have a great day, all of you and I will be checking back to read your interesting journals! Maria
As far as fitday, yes, if you look at the total calories burned, it looks like I would have to consume 2400 calories per day on a day I don't exercise to break even and I'm consistantly (for the last three days anyway) eating between 1800 and 2000). But throw in exercise and that goes up to 3000 calories burned give or take. I don't know how accurate the calories burned without exercise is because I think that depends a lot on your metabolism, so if you have a really slow metabolism, that could be down at 1500 calories, or a really fast one at 3500! But at least it's been consistant with the weight loss - I've lost now three days in a row. Don't tell anyone, but tonight when I post my diary, it'll be at a new low ;-) Have a great weekend!
Tomorrow when i buy groceries i gotta get more fruit,i love to take bananas & apples and cut up in bite size peices and put fat free cool whip in them and oh boy are they good and only couple points for a cup full,,,and very filling and really takes care of the sweet urge:}
I love fried pork chops myself,,i just love Pork period!! but i bought a George Forman grill last yr and i dearly love it for grilling food on,have you ever tried one,,cooks so fast and so moist and evenly cooked,,cause it cooks on both sides at the same time,,its great for veggies to,,
well today i am hitting the treadmill,you are inspiring me girl:}} Ok have a great weekend and keep this up and your gonna hit your goal before you know it:}}

Hi Maria! Soup sounds sooo good. I haven't had soup in a long time. Not even from the can! Heehee.
You are doing awesome with your water! I just can't bring myself to drink much of it. Maybe eventually I will get used to it.
You have a wonderful day!! Hugs! ~~Sunny~~
