2nd week is OVER. i just have to behave today cause its not free day.
made texas sheet cake today. agave style with wheat flour. i think it tastes PRETTY GOOD!

i'm looking forward to next week of course..i'm ready for a bike ride! might take an exercise point today cz its still raining. i was gonna go for a walk later. guess we'll see what happens.

long day ahead! but at least exercise is out of the way. me and boo went for a bike ride. :D

kevin and the girls are at a daddy/daughter activity. we have the freestone picnic right after that and charity & jr's luncheon in the middle of that.

tomorrow is NOT free day. did the points this week.

i cant believe i don't have any words to write!! that almost never happens.

2nd week.. coming to a close! (well, its Friday anyway.)

life is good and i LOVE the challenge.. have i mentioned that before? hmmmmm
I'm really enjoying bicycling! i am ready for a fancy seat and maybe even a better bike. one that HASN'T been abused. I'm ready to make my rides longer/go farther. how cool is that?!

i LOVE my shake that I've made up. its perfect for my chocolate fix, a great snack, a healthy one, not to mention low on the calorie scale BUT keeps me full forever!
HERE IT IS:
1 cup almond milk**40
1 cup mixed berries**70
1 tsp powdered greens**10
2 tbs oats**38
2 tbs chocolate syrup (agave style) .. sometimes a tad more. either way, 1 tbs is 24 cals.
total cals for that is ........ 208
adding a 1/2 banana is 55 cals. (too much flavor for a whole one)
i have this EVERYDAY.. without fail. its my afternoon treat and pick me up.

anissa, i know you will read this--- i love you for doing the challenge. i don't know why this is the only thing that pushes me to do what i gotta do. but it works for me and i love doing it. I'm happy and feel good. i honestly don't even care about the money. i just wanna do this forever. all i keep thinking about is NOT weighing so much. i hope this time i make some permanent changes instead of just looking for the end!! I'd be fat w/ out ya Dave! well, i still am.. but you know i mean. PEACE

long time no post!! been more convenient to write on paper, then to try and log on here.
second challenge started feb 15. i'm excited because i gained all the weight back from last time. boo! but i plan on doing things different this time. i plan on sticking with it, (did i say that last time???) but i think i finally realized, in my OWN head, that i cant lose weight and eat junk. maybe later when i'm happy and i workout hard, i can reward myself.. but i have to keep my self in check!

last week was a perfect score. i lost 3 pounds. my starting weight was 195. AGAIN... I HATE THAT NUMBER!!!!!

heres to 11 more weeks.. yeehaw! =)

i like to ride my bicycle... my bicycle

well, i dont mind it! im starting to really enjoy bike riding. something new and challenging, yet easy on my feet. but i am thinking of starting my jog training again. the worse that can happen is after i start jogging again... my foot will hurt-- then i'll stop! so why not try again. i've put a lot of miles on this foot.. so maybe all this walking (lots of walking) has helped more.

cereal, apple, burros (leftover meat/beans from dinner) edamame ( i LOVE soy beans!!!) handful of popcorn, protein shake (w/ juices).

another day down. i like food.. good food... good food thats good for you food!
i like eating and feeling satisfied.. not just full---but satisfied that what i ate is good for me, filled me up, and will benefit me.
(i'm sorry.. that cant be diane)
but it has to be me! what the heck !!
only a few days to go--i'm using my sweet point sunday. soo i have the week to figure out where to use one more point. almost used it last night on reading, but was already UP.. even tho it was after 11. so i decided i should read and not waste it there.
cereal (really need to cut back on that.. getting lazy and enjoying too much) apple
edamame and lean cuisine for lunch
granola bar.. needed sweets! at least these were 25% less sugar ones. then juiced pear, apple, grapes,carrots! YUMMMY!!
taco salad for din
time for a bike ride then some walking!

ONE WEEK LEFT!!
i cant believe it.. :o) i'm still going w/ a perfect score.. which is totally insane to me.
after next week, we're gonna take a 2 week break then do a mini challenge (me & niss) for 6 weeks until she starts the challenge again after the holidays. i'm excited to do it again! AND i never thought i'd say that. haha
i like having limits on set on myself.. but also other freedoms i get. free days are GRRRREAT!
however, i'm getting the hang of 'points' now, so i can figure out how manipulate them. in a good way i mean. i can still get things i want (ish) and not lose my perfect score. trade out free day for point days.
AAAAAANYWHO-- heres the to last drop. i mean week!
