Good job, get that cardio in there. My gym is not by a mall, thankfully, it's 2 miles away, so it doesn't take me that long to get to the gym.

My weekend was good, did the shopping, wrapped them all, and relaxed. It was great. I hear ya on the watching your carbs during the holidays, it's a real pain in the ass.

Diet was PERFECT yesterday. Had an awesome leg workout....then I get home, and after my regular meal, I open up a HUGE can of cashews, you know the kind you get at the wholesale clubs??? I ate, like four or five handfuls of peanuts, and two cans of tuna.

Was that a binge? wtf? I am pretty dissapointed w/ myself. Why do cardio if I am going to eat my weight in peanuts???? I must keep those out of the house. They are good for you but I just cannot seem to eat them in moderation.

Sorry for the vent.

Food happens. Don't worry about it, we are just mere mortals

my 2nd to last meal was just protein and veggies. How horrible would it be if i added a sweet potato or something. Maybe keep me from overeating? I'm not really an overeater. i like to be strict and have a routine. but, i also drink on saturdays so i feel i have no room for error.

Add in the sweet potato - your calories are too low as it is and 150 cals from 200g of sweet potato (32g carb) is better than 1500 cals from a bag of peanuts!!

Candy

ok will add sweet potato and quit being so hard on myself. I was losing pretty good last week w/ the carbs in. I lost 1.5 pounds thats good for me. Then I go f-ing w/ it to make it faster and i should not do that!! I know better, I just cant help it.

hiya candy-
shrug it off, regroup and go after it again.
someone here....(ahem...babsie> made me give up mybeloved peanut butter)
I've been on the wagon for over a month now.
Do you think they have a peanut butter anonymous?
"Hi, my name is Mike...and I have a PB problem.."

ok...people need to stop bringing in the holiday junk foods...I am weak..I admit to it....I had some..then some more...

I know how you feel. I'm baking tonight, and I feel like i should taste test, but I never do. This is a new recipe though, my sister and brother-in-law want to come over tonight to exchange gifts, but they drink alot, and will probably bring over hot toddies, or chocolate, and wine, or something and stay over till really late getting my hubby hammered. I dont know if i will have them over tonight or save it for Friday. Better to have only 2 bad days during Christmas than to spread it out over the week? What do you think?

I KNOW ! about the office food during the holidays. There is a goody tray sitting next to me right now. I have not gotten into it yet, but I dont know how much longer I can hold off.

I have problems w/ peanuts and peanut butter. I dont know why but I can not control myself when I start eating them. It's like I go into a trance or something. But only w/ peanuts or peanut butter. ?? They cant be in the house. You should see me near a nut tray during the holidays. Lord only knows how many calories I eat during a holiday gettogether where there is a nut bowl. All those calories on top of a holiday meal???? ha ha ha

G'mornng! Are you going to be competeing? I don't think a cople days are going to really hurt you.
THink of them as speed bumps on the road of life. Your metabolism will feel the bump, but won't really be affected.
U can't be a body builder super health concious person ALL the time. Let go a little..enjoy the last couple days...and then start again after.
You will be happier. You wont gain any weight. Just don't go ballistic...

I call it 'grazing'...
I usually keep chips / peanuts..easy to eat, snack foods out of hose..'cause I do hte same thing. Graze...next thing you knwo..the container is empty...
and if you do eat a little extra...do an extra 5 moinutes or so on cardio...even it out.
There has to be a balance.

CINDY'S CONFESSION:

ummmm survive the massive holdiay treats??? Ummm no. Christmas Eve, I was good untill the early afternoon - when I started w/ chocolate truffles and dessert wine, then moved on to my in-laws where I got drunk on captain and diet coke, then went to church then went to grandmas and got wasted. I dont remember christmas dinner, so I dont know WHAT i ate. Christmas morning, I ate a healthy breakfast, but then it was over after that, it was horrible all day. I was good yesterday except the occasional peanut, (yeah right) here and there between meals. I went to the gym and did cardio every day except Christmas day.... I did the best I've ever done before, but not as well as I could have. The in-laws told me I would be in BIG trouble if I dieted.....so .....

I got all kinds of cool shit. I'm spoiled. I opened up like, 9 handbags, a ton of sweaters, gift cards, etc... I'm set.

I feel fat today, but I expected that. I'm looking forward to New Year's!!! Then I'll probably slow down on the drinking ha ha.

How was your Christmas?????

Glad you had a nice xmas. I had lotsa cheats too Todays meals looking good

Here is my pumpkin pancake recipe:
1/2C oats (soak in a bit of boiling water about 1 minute)
1/4C canned pumpkin
1S vanilla protein powder
2 ew's (egg whites)
1 pack splenda, 1 pack stevia
Pinch of baking powder, baking soda, molly mcbutter, vanilla, and about 1tsp of pumkin pie spice.

Mix all ingredients together. Cook in a pan sprayed with pam. I like to leave mine a bit raw and gooey in the middle, more like pumkin pie!

Another variation which I do:Nix the protein powder and 2 ew's. Just use 1C of egg whites, and all the rest of the ingredients. Let sit about 15 mins, so the oats get a bit soggy.(dont soak the oats in water first) Add the rest of the ingredients and cook in a pan.

I am addicted to both versions. I eat them every day!

Candy

OOOH! I like the recipe w/ out the powder in it - it sounds good!!! Thank you! Yummy I will try that!!! thanks. Do you always add pumpkin? What about syrup do you use sugar free?

Today's cardio : 20 min. But here's why:

Have you guys heard of the new movie coming out white noise? Well, its about a real life phen. where the dead supp. communicate w/ the living through white noise which is umm...like, a dial tone, or the static on your tv. Well, those noises have always made me uncomfortable, and I was being stupid and playing around on the internet last week and spooked myself hearing to examples. Well I as on the tredmill this morning and MP3 player did something and all the sudden just made this one pitched type noise and scared me (i was by myself) which would not normally have scared me , but because of this movie I am now scared of any kind of white noise. Is that not the dumbest thing you've heard? I was convinced that the dead was trying to communicate w/ me, i just stopped the tredmill and ran upstairs (like that is more safe ha ha) and I was scared. I know its dumb I love scary movies, but I dont think I can see this one! I dont know why but this subject really scares me. Just the previews and look at me!!!!!!!!!!!

Im so stoopid.

naw...but it has done it's job...(the psychological sense)
ok..if it makes u feel better...
back when Psycho 1st came out...YEARS ago...it had that affect..
or..how about JAWS:
It made thousands of people fear the ocean and swear they'd never go in it or back in it...
true story
did u scream all the way back upstairs?
