LISTEN PEOPLE

THERE IS ONLY 7 MONTHS TILL MY WEDDING
SO LETS GET CRACKING!

Hopefully this deadline will motivate everyone.
But we are going to florida in March 2010.

I've started this up again last week when I realized the time was looming.
With this motivation and the addition of training for a marathon,
I think it will be successful. Double incentive to do this crap.

Now lets go people!
MOVE! MOVE! MOVE!

SCROGGINS, OUT!

AND I'M BACK!

Ok, I took a reprieve in order to hit the books. But I'm back now and ready to be svelte for the summer!

I have been eating healthy choice meals for two weeks straight and even got up early before work this week in order to workout. For those of you who do not know, this is REMARKABLE feat for me because normally my body does not function before 10:00a.m. and definitely does not function well until after noon. But it has already been worth it. I don't feel anymore tired from getting up a little earlier and my self-esteem is slowly creeping back up...although my waistline has not yet slowly crept down. But I know that will come eventually if I stick to it.

So let's get back to it! WOOT WOOT!

ANYONE OUT THERE?!?!?!

Guys, uh!! what the hell is happening......we need to stay motivated and keep encouraging each other!!! so get your butts back on here and let's drop 10 pounds or more ;)

I plan on weighing in Friday morning!

hello?!?!?

Hey fellow woot woot's.....I haven't weighed myself lately, but i feel as if I'm doing a decent job on eating healthy.....i'm actually kind of scared to weigh myself.....i do not want to get all discouraged...ugh.....but....i will force myself to weigh in tomorrow......

WHAT UP WHAT UP

What up!! So far so good today.....banana and an orange.....

Happy Cheese O'clock!

Just wanted to wish you a happy cheese o'clock.
I'm getting my cheese on.
Lunch didn't really do anything for me today.
I'm still hungry
and I doubt the cheese will hold me over at all until I get home.

I still have to run 5 miles after work to get back into the swing of the marathon training.
I stare out my window and it looks so nice out.
Another beautiful day wasted at this computer.

party on...

let's start

WOOT WOOTING!!

how is everyone????

what up bitches

its time for this blawg to get fucking rocking.
thats right, smashley is here!

i need to get fit for my beach wedding.
lets do this shit!

i love imos hungover day! we do that here too :)

i've brought my lunch every day this week but monday!
hopefully i don't f it all up this weekend......

Lunch Meeting

Well my Department is having a lunch meeting and ordered Imo's pizza. I guess I have to eat it. Too bad, I was REALLY looking forward to my healthy choice chicken parm today. Oh well. hehehe. (Ok, I'm hungover and Imo's sounds Awesome! right now.)

bacon

now, why in the hell would someone go and cook bacon!!!! wtf----a-holes

horrible weekend

All I know is that I ate horrible all weekend, so I need to be super good all week to catch up.....FUN FUN.

salad for lunch today

Lunch

Well I brought a Healthy Choice lunch with me today. I am NOT looking forward to eating it. REALLY wish it was donut Friday!

Anyone out there...out there...out there?

How is everybody doing?

I think I dropped 2 lbs. I am not sure though...more to follow.

Congrats Allison!

4 pounds!!! That is huge!
What are you doing to see results?

food poisoning helps you lose weight

so, haven't eaten anything but 1/2 a grilled chicken food long and some chicken noodle soup since sunday night!

if anyone else wishes to try this diet, go to Fandango's on a busy saturday night an order the toasted rav.

NICE WORK

Nice Work Ali!!! You can do it!! Keep up the Great Work!!

Cheesiness

So far today a piece of toast and 2 bites of Jeff's cheese eggs. Mmmm, it was worth it!

16

down 4 pounds, only 16 to go! blaaaah....
By the way, more donuts today. What is it with this office and donuts? Usually its just a friday thing. Actually, now that I think about it, it may be helping to have them in here frequently. Because now I just think "Oh, donuts again. What else is new?" Instead of OOOOOH! FRIED DOUGH AND SUGAR YES! I WANT ONE NOW!

At least that is what I will tell myself until I no longer can smell them...

sunday fatterday

I had a horrible day eating yesterday......starting fresh today

licorice

GOOD THING I LIKE LICORICE!!

Where is the inspiration?

What happened to us?

Oatmeal and coffee
Almonds
A couple pieces of licorice
water

Licorice Snack Decisions
We're not done chewing yet. Licorice, which has an active ingredient called glycyrrhetinic acid, has been shown to help reduce body fat mass. (The good news is you don't have to be able to pronounce the acid to reap its benefits.)

Decio Armanini, M.D., who did the research at Italy's University of Padua, explains that there are two ways licorice works. The first is complicated and involves blocking an enzyme that plays a role in fat accumulation. The second is simpler. "Licorice can reduce appetite," he says. "The effect is probably related to the agreeable taste of licorice, and for that reason people do not need to eat more."

We're not talking Twizzlers here; go for the real thing, preferably with licorice extract high on its ingredient list. (Look for it in grocery stores, not convenience stores.) A handful is about 150 calories and will keep you busy chewing something sweet, flavorful, and satisfying for twice the time it takes to down a bag of M&M's.

veggies

You want to know what is really cool....these veggise taste awesome......SIKE!!! ha ha

Good Job

Those are great reasons to eat healthy and exercise!! keep the motivation coming!

NICE WORK

I'm at 600 calories so far......

poop jar!

so far so good today!
-oatmeal for breakfast
-turkey sammie for lunch!
-3 glasses of water (water has 0 calories)




oh yea, P.S.- I'M FREEKING HUNGRY

FIBER

I like FIBER. It makes me poop, and when I poop, I get to put a dollar in the Poop Jar.

Factoid

So I met with a personal trainer yesterday and she told me something that I didn't know so I thought I would share because maybe it's news to you also.

When looking at carbs make sure to calculate "net carbs" which is just the amount of carbs minus the amount of fiber. Apparently fiber is the "anti-carb" and basically negates the carbs that you eat. So if you eat a fiber one bar (which contains about 1/2 the fiber you need in a day) you will negate that many carbs!

So one more reason to make sure that you get lots of fiber!

utohhhh

i ate chips, a QT chimichanga for lunch, and pasta with chicken for dinner.

new week

Good Morning Everyone!! Start of a new week!!! Bring IT!!!

Is anybody out there?

I think i figured it out! Ok, so megan and I were talking via email today and got into the conversation about how we're both trying to be healthier and all that jazz. So she gave me the link to here! May I please be accepted into 10 (or 25) Pounds, WOOT WOOT!? Also, I really like that calorie counter. How might one go about getting one of those?

Handsome Tony Little

His eyes are so blue. They are like the ocean. An ocean I want to swim in when I have the body that Tony wants me to have.

Here's a sad story. I drove out to the gym last night for Fight Fit. I got there and no one was in class....so what does Claire do? Leaves! I spent an hour driving just to go home and do an hour work out on my own. I almost called Meg but I was for sure she would tell me to go in and I didn't want to.

Green Beans

I am eating green beans....this better freaking make me drop 10bls.......hell 15!!
(i'm pretending they are french fries, don't tell anyone)

almost lunch

I can make it until 4:30, I CAN DO IT!!
i'm really hungover....and really really tired....

beefcake?

is that a picture of a pregnant guy with a hairy stomach???

BEEFCAKE!

went into the evening at 600 calories so not bad....plus i worked out on lunch.....i probably weigh less due to being deydrated.....
not doing bad today though.....460 calories so far

water water water water water

woot woot

i figured it out! well, i'm on a half frozen energy blast (500 calories probably) and half diet mountain dew for the day...well unless you count that chicken chimichanga.....i love those things...it only has 80 carbs and 24 grams of fat.......i wanta the chinese buffet!

fing food

how the f does this work?

ugh

i am NOT feeling it this morning either.......god damn bud light, why must you tempt me.

let's be honest though, i'm not going to quit drinking, so somehow we need to work this into our weight-loss. maybe for every night we go boozing, we have to stay in the gym an extra 30 min. haha, i'm not going to do that, i just read it and laughed.

so far today: banana and coffee.

O-R-E-O

So......if you got drunk last night I should not feel bad about pounding away on oreo's and milk when I got home last night? Hey milk is dairy and I needed my quota for the day.

We did lots of cardio and strength training at the gym last night. Other than this damn cold I am feeling pretty good. Gonna be a little tough to leave my house tonight to go back when it is -8 degrees!

Also, stocked up on a lot of lean protein, veggies and complex carbs last night! With Meg getting wasted at night looks like I am going to get those 7's first! ha Come on Meg, make this a little challenging for me. :)

Morning

Today is going to be a little tough....got drunk last night...LOL
