Butterfly's new plan for success!!!

butterfly · 08-13-2002, 02:53 PM

Yeah, when I get bored with my work at home I come here!

At JSC, unless you're a nerdy engineer or rocket scientist we only wear jeans on Friday.

I took my jacket off and my shoes too but I have to put them back on to go to the printer or bathroom... damn high heels!!!

Miss LeDix · 08-13-2002, 02:54 PM

Hiya B! Just want to say that the food is looking better...no white bread!

But maybe you should go to WF and check out what they have. They have all sorts of beans, some fresh and most with much lower sodium. I can't help it...I love that place!

Stacey · 08-13-2002, 03:00 PM

ya, and there is one on Westheimer butterflY!

Miss LeDix · 08-13-2002, 03:02 PM

P, did you ever go to the WF close to you? Did you love it?

butterfly · 08-13-2002, 03:10 PM

That's a good idea but WF is like 30-45 mins away... and I hate going back up into town for anything b/c of all the traffic!!!

Stacey · 08-13-2002, 03:13 PM

oH MY GOSH! YA You are right Butterfly! Traffic is horrible over here!! Maybe try it on a sunday..take the tollroad! Its right off of it!

I wonder if there is one by you!

MISS L~ Yes I LOVE IT!! I went on my lunchbreak b/c its right down the road..but I didn't have enough time! I am going back though REAL soon!! Its a great store!!

butterfly · 08-13-2002, 03:33 PM

I think there's one in West U which would be closer for me... I know there's a Rice Epicurrean Market...

butterfly · 08-13-2002, 03:37 PM

D: I was thinking of getting fade to grill steaks but it's raining now so we'll see

I had an 2/3 of an EAS protein bar before the gym... I was sooo hungry!

Well, we ended up going to Chili's after the gym but I was really good. I had two grilled chicken breasts, about 8oz, and corn-on-the-cob... lots of water!

Fade was really bad! He wanted a beer and I told him no. Then he ate ribs and french fries!!! Cory and I both gave him a hard time about that. I don't know what I'm going to do... he's sure not helping me stay on my diet with all his cheats

Leslie · 08-13-2002, 10:21 PM

I know what you mean Butterfly. My BF and I are supposed to be on a strict diet together. I am doing well, but somehow he ends up eatting pasta, big burritos or even cookies in the mall.
I like to think I have more willpower and therefore will get more results....but deep down I know it doesn't matter cause these Buff guys can eat anything and get away with it! LOl
and the minute we hav e1 french fry our pants get tight!

LOL Hang in there Butterfly! Be strong!

butterfly · 08-13-2002, 10:24 PM

Thanks Leslie! Glad to know I'm not alone

Miss LeDix · 08-14-2002, 02:50 AM

butterfly! You were sure up late last night, ey? You are totally not alone. I am pretty lucky in that my husband eats 'the good stuff' while we are at home. But when we go out he eats pretty much whatever he wants. However, we don't go out too much because we are trying to save $$ and because it's literally difficult for me to pick a place to eat, I am way picky about what I eat. Maybe you can have a heart to heart with him, let him know this is really important to you? I wish you only luck!

Twin Peak · 08-14-2002, 07:10 AM

Sorry Leslie, you ladies don't corner the market on this issue. My wife doesn't eat "whatever she wants" but she just eats to stay trim (i.e. not for bodybuilding). So she gets her cheats in. At home, out, whereever. You have to have the independent, individual willpower. So Butterfly, my suggestion is, let him eat whatever he wants and focus on YOUR goals.

Going out is easy b/c, obviously, we order our separate dishes. Just make sure he orders and individual appetizer, one that you won't want to pick on. I am sure Fade will accomodate you there.

At home, my wife will make whatever protein source and a veggie for the both of us and maybe add a rice pilaf just for her.

It can be done. And on the occassion when she wants some desert, I make a smothie! You just need to focus on YOUR OWN short term goals.

naturaltan · 08-14-2002, 07:39 AM

excellent advice TP!

naturaltan · 08-14-2002, 07:42 AM

Morning butterfly! How are ya this morning?

So... how much did he pay you to say that???

butterfly · 08-14-2002, 10:29 AM

Hi NT

I'm ok. Woke up with my sinuses bugging me and everytime I hit snooze and tried to go back to sleep fade would roll over and shake the whole bed... so I'm kind of tired, too.

I so don't want to be here today!!!

Stacey · 08-14-2002, 10:47 AM

Hey Butterfly!
Oh girl I am with u on the hubby eating whatever he wants! You know.. Matt can demolish anything and not gain a pound!! He eats mexican food every day! Drinks chocolate milk, eats brownies, cheetos, etc... he loses weight instead of gains.. its extremly sick! And not fair!! But it is a disease in his case, since he has the thryroid problem where u lose weight! It sucks!

craig777 · 08-14-2002, 11:06 AM

My wife has the same problem, she wants to lose weight and I am trying to gain weight. I also weigh 215 with a great deal more muscle so my metabolism is higher, thus making me have to eat even more. My wife wants to eat what I eat and I say she shouldn't do that. She tells me why not that I am eating it. She needs to focus on her goals like TP said, not my goals.

Of course I would never ever eat ribs and french fries in front of her. I don't eat french fries anyways.

You are doing good butterfly keep it up.

Fitgirl70 · 08-14-2002, 11:31 AM

You are doing good butterfly. I am proud of you.

Keep it up.....I like your meals!

butterfly · 08-14-2002, 11:49 AM

I know TP is telling me not to go by the scale so I'm really not BUT... I was encouraged because Sat. I weighed myself and then again yesterday morning and I lost 2lbs BUT... being the cautious person I am, I weighed again this morning and those 2lbs were still gone. Now my weight has fluctuated by a few lbs but it has not been that low since March!

I had a good workout last night, I'm eating good, and I've lost 2lbs... I'm feeling really good right now. (so nobody say anything to mess it up for me)

I'm trying to understand why you would even think that one of us would 'say anything to mess it up for you'?

I'm happy for you girl! Just stick with it and you'll see results!
