Hi Lina!
Do you find you are very hungry on this diet?
A Chocolate factory! OH boy! Its a good thing you don't like that chocoloate! I would be in HEAVeN!

 

[lina]

Hi Leslie!!!

No, I'm not but I just started this new menu. It's my second week and I'm afraid the cals are too low...so I'm monitoring it and will make my decision end of this week whether to up cals. I was very hungry the first few days but I think my body adjusted..they say when you change your diet, usually you'll see a fluctuation in weight the first few days and I did...

You don't like chocolate? Good for you!!! I LOVE IT!!!!!

Have a good one girlie
Thanks for stopping by!!!

 

[tgkfour1]

lina-

hope all is well.....Are you still sizzling?

Quick question- What's in the Power Paks?

All the best....
Tom

 

[lina]

Tom!!

Sizzling still! 75 degrees today and hotter tomorrow!!! Yay!!

The Power Pak are vitamin pills by Beverly. They come in prepackaged little packets so you just take one packet a day with meal #1.

Hey, we were at the coast this weekend and saw some crazy surfers riding the waves... it was cooold but that didn't bother them.... brrrrr.... exciting to watch though!

 

[tgkfour1]

Lina- thanks! Which coast? Were they in wetsuits?

 

[lina]

They were on the coast of Maine near Ogonquit, Maine. Very pretty quaint town. They were in wet suits I presume though I couldn't see them from far.

 

[lean_n_76er]

Hey, just though I'd drop in and say Hello! Still keeping an impresive journal (read jellous). Keep up the awesome work!

 

[lina]

Hey Lean!!!

You know I just realized we have the same name!!!! Your's is lean76 and mine is lina... I liked it because it reminded me of lean!!! Yep, it's not my real name, suprise..suprise!

Any activity at work tonight? or pretty dead?

 

[lean_n_76er]

Pretty dead. Just have to keep up with the paperwork tonight. Other than that, just the usual work bs. What's up with you?

 

[GardeningGrrl]

Hey Lina, looking good with the diet!! Have fun at the chocolate factory........though I'm with you on the Lindt - that stuff is the best! I like their coffee-flavored chocolate, even though I don't actually drink coffee. Go figure.

 

[lina]

Hey GG,

Hope you stop by more often!!! How is your carb cycling going? Hmmm... coffee flavored chocolate sound scrumptious!!! I see that you've been revisiting the old site and so have I. I miss some of the girlies there so I think I'll start posting there more often... but I like it here da best

Have a good day HC!

 

[GardeningGrrl]

Thanks, Pal...umm, Lina, you too! Giggle.

Today is a high-carb day for me - woo hoo, happy dance! Umm, I don't think I've ever been this excited about the prospect of a sweet potato.

Or cream of wheat, for that matter. Yum. I'm hungwy!

I am liking the carb-cycling thing though, so as long as I don't get carb withdrawal headaches on my no carb days, I'll stick with it.

Catch ya later!

 

[lina]

OK, GG (Giggle Girl)!!!!

Have a yummy day today... I don't know if this sounds gross but my carb up meal was: oatmeal, sweet potato, butter, banana all cooked in one pot. Makes a nice big batch of the consistency of oatmeal. Put some butter buds on top. Some splenda or sf ff maple syrup. .... ahhhhhh.....Heaven!!! I sit there thinking I can't believe I'm allowed to have this!!!

 

[tgkfour1]

I sit here thinking that I'd have a hot fudge sundae for breakfast.....

But we know that's bad.....

 

[lina]

ARRRGGHHH..... Don't do that to me! tgk!!!

I told you that this weekend we were up in Maine...we found this lovely restaurant that had steamed seafood, lobster, clams, etc. BUTT!!!! THE DESSERTS LOOKED HEAVENLY!!!!
I was just drooling and telling my hubby to look at the next table... big pile of fudge cake topped with vanilla icecrea, hot fudge on top, and whip cream!!! I thought to myself... what is this life? I ain't livin'!!!!!

 

[tgkfour1]

I agree. Although i have specific goals over the next 1-6 months, unless I'm competing, there will always be room for a little/big cheat now and again.

It's Funny, during our Father's Day feast the other day, my family had a huge hershey's chocolate mousse pie for dessert, that i didn't even want? It was bizzarre! In another phase of my life, i would have eaten at least 3 pieces, no doubt!

Active rest today but did 45 min walking on the threadie tonight and 30 min leisure walking outside..

Everyone had icecream today I think I'm gonna cave in one of these days! I have 3 weeks or less before I leave...

 

[kuso]

I think I musta missed something here Where are you going??

 

[lina]

I am going to go visit my mom for 3 weeks with da kiddies... she lives in the Caribbean. Gotta be bikini ready you know. But there is not a heck of a lot to do there... only eat!!!! I'm afraid I'm gonna gain weight when I go... and you may know from my journal, I'm used to routine. I won't have my gym, my foods, etc. and NO INTERNET!!!!

 

[Dero]

What??? Leaving for three weeks?????

I gotta agree with Dero here

There is not a place in the world where you can`t get online at least once or twice

 

[lina]

You can but I don't think I'll be able to... My first problem is finding a gym so I can work off the lard I'll be accumulating. Hey, just used the spell check feature and it takes sooo long, but I spelled the word 'accumulating' correctly!!! That's a first!

Thanks kuso dearie!!! I'll be missing you all!!!

 

[kuso]

You know, you`ll probably be surprised at how little weight you put on while you`re away.....two or three weeks rest could do your body wonders.
