[Velvet]

Good morning hon

YOu watching survivor tonight??? I CAN"T WAIT for the OC to start again. Do you watch it? Ryan...drool...Seth..drool drool...Sandy the dad...yummy!

 

[ncgirl21]

Is this high-protein popcorn?

Did you ever get a chance to get caught up on Real World?

Nope, it's just Healthy Pop Popcorn. I don't think they make high protein popcorn.

I watched RW last night, but it was a repeat of one I've already seen, I think they'll show Tuesday's episode on Saturday or Sunday, if not I'll catch it before the new one on this Tuesday.

Ended up adding in more food though, so cals were higher than I wanted but not over maintenance. Added in some LFCC mixed with a little yogurt and crushed up carmel soy crisps and I had some FF baked lays with lunch. Oh well, at least it's not french fries!! LOL Did 33 minutes of cardio last night and chest. So, I ended up up with 50 minutes for the day so hopefully the extra cals didn't hurt. Really need to bump my water up though- only had 1L of pure water yesterday, the rest of the day I drank Crystal Light and flavored calorie free water. Oh, and diet pepsi .

Todays Meals:

M1: Protein Shake (Protein powder, 1 tbs. FFSF chocolate pudding, 3 tbs. cocoa, 3 tbs. of this coffee stuff (has 90 cals for 3 tbs. but it's yummy))

M2: Tuna Salad Sandwich

M3: Broccoli stir fry with egg whites (broccoli (the whole bag) green pepper, onion)

M4: HP Popcorn with a Protein Shake (see M1)

Tonight- going to probably do Legs and Triceps or something of that nature and cardio!!

Cindy, I'm really considering trying Gopro's program, I'm currently trying to put something together with it. I have to have a plan or I get all confused . I'll probably wait until the first of November and then start it. I want to drop some more fat before then though.

 

[M.J.H.]

Good luck with whatever program you go with Andrea, I am sure that you'll do great! Diet is looking great, too. Did you ever get around to finding that cake recipe?

Watching the Food Network as much as I do, I've come to realize there are food festivals for just about any food you can think of in the united states. I'm sure there is a Jell-O festival SOMEWHERE in this country, and I suggest we seek this festival out, and attend. Jill and NC can even cook up some of their sf ff jello inventions and submit them to the great american jell-o bake off or whatever it's called.

And jill, this one is for you.

 

[Jill]

Thanks GG, you are super cute!

[GoalGetter]

...Extreme Makeover comes on too, I love that show, I like the one with people better than the one with houses.

i love the house makeovers... i'm a home improvement junkie. hahaha!

 

[GoalGetter]

...**I'm going to continue loosing as long as I can with the popcorn in my diet, but if I plateau I'll pull it out.

Is popcorn a viable complex carb? It feels like a filler to me, like onion or mushroom.

 

[BabsieGirl]

i love the house makeovers... i'm a home improvement junkie. hahaha!

Me too. Isn't it fun????

 

[GoalGetter]

Me too. Isn't it fun????

I live vicariously through all these people. Seriously.

And that new kitchen makeover show on food network. Imagine? It's like a dream show for me. Combine cooking shows and home makeover shows and you have me at hello.

This is good Andy!!!!

M1: 1/2 cup LF cottage cheese, 1 vanilla yogurt, 1/2 cup mixed berries, 1/2 cup fiber one- This was REALLY yummy!!

What's Fiber One?

M2: Turkey sandwich w/ lettuce and mayo on multigrain bread

M3: Tuna steak, broccoli, mushrooms, onions

I still need to try that Tuna Steak but the Brocoli, Mushrroms and Onions sure sound...mm mm good

WORKOUT HERE- Legs, Cardio

I cannot wait to weight train. It'll be a gradual thing..but I still cannot wait....................So I'll get my kicks off your work outs

M4: HP Popcorn, Protein Shake

Do you purchase your popcorn via the herbal and nutrition side of the grocery store - Or is it reg popcorn?

**I'm going to continue loosing as long as I can with the popcorn in my diet, but if I plateau I'll pull it out.

Sounds like a good plan. Really shouldn't cut anything from your diet if you're making changes. You're on the right track hon

How are you today?

 

[BabsieGirl]

ME TOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I cry EVERY time I watch the home makeover show.....This week they had a family who lost their home to a fire. Sad Now they have a home that's even better than before. They even fixed the Truck and Horse trailer for the mom and daughter!!!! I was sooo happy for them.

 

[ncgirl21]

The popcorn I get is called Jolly Time Healthy Pop Popcorn. For the entire bag it is 225 calories, 5 grams of fat (no saturated- no trans fat), 57.5 grams of carbs, 22.5 grams of fiber, 7.5 grams of protein, no sugar. This probably isn't the best carb source, but it keeps me sane I like it just as much as regular popcorn!!

 

[ncgirl21]

Fiber one is a cereal very similar to all bran. It has 14 grams of fiber in 1/2 a cup. It's really good mixed with cottage cheese and yogurt

I've not seen the kitchen makeover show yet GG- I'll have to watch for that, that would be interesting .

I'm going to pain my bedroom, I'm thinking maybe a pale sage green color and then have all light wood bedroom furniture What do ya'll think?

I don't know that much about fillers, the popcorn could very well be one but I don't really know what that means. I buy it with the regular popcorn.

 

[GoalGetter]

...I've not seen the kitchen makeover show yet GG- I'll have to watch for that, that would be interesting .

It's called Kitchen Accomplished. They redo someone's kitchen, and at the same time teach them how to cook something.

Okay

I'm going to pain my bedroom, I'm thinking maybe a pale sage green color and then have all light wood bedroom furniture What do ya'll think?

I think that's a pretty color. Def. go light on the furniture. I'd recommend painting the trim white.

 

[ncgirl21]

GG- That show sounds very interesting, what time does it usually come on and what day?

Babsie- thanks for the trim suggestion, I hadn't thought of that. I'm going to use those decorative wooden rods instead of just regular curtain rods to hang my curtains and I'm going to use the drapey curtains where it kind of sways longer on one side.

You're welcome sweetie Sounds like you know what you're talking about. I love decorating!!!! My sister in-law just purchased a condo and she's having me come over in a couple weeks to decorate it for her.

 

[M.J.H.]
