Out Tonight

Saturday, March 05, 2011

Funny I was blogging that I miss Mexican food here where I live. Today I get a call from a friend and she tells me there is a Mexican rest. not here in this town, it is in another town but it is suppose to be good. So now we are going out to dinner tonight.

I am excited have not been out to dinner in a long time. I have no idea what I will order. I can go off the program tonight for sure, I did skip lunch just had some protein after I did my work out today. I did do 50 min on the gazelle already. I am hoping to hop back on later tonight and do another 20 min. Ater I get home from the dinner.

Anyway I am off tonight to have some fun with some friends. I will share tomorrow how it went.

Sounds like a blast! I think you are okay to have fun every once in awhile. This way you have less "slip ups" because you know that you're allowing yourself a treat day occasionally. Just make sure to keep it occasional and not all the time LOL. Keep up the great work and have a fun time! Report Inappropriate Comment

Report

So this is my report from my MD. I went to my appt. today. He did a lot of praising about my weight.. I had not seen him in over a year. He thought I had surgery to lose the 90 pounds. Said he wished all his patients would listen and lose the weight he wants them to lose. He told me : ' You look great" which made me feel .

I need to learn to take complements better lots of time I do not hear them. But if it was a negative line I would hear it for sure.

So he now wants to do a stress test on me next week. I had never had one with a treadmill I could not do them. So this will be a whole different story for me. It makes me good knowing I can do this now.

I think it made my day for sure. Happy it is Friday.

Have a new recipe to share with you. This one is very easy also.

QUICK PUMPKIN MUFFINS

All you need is a cake mix yellow or spice flavored mix, dry. and a small 15 oz can of pumpkin which you use to make pies with. Mix these two together, that is it and also you need also 2 teaspoons of pumpkin spice. The batter is thick. But is cooks up so moist. it makes a lot of muffins. for a 12 oz serving you have 200 calories but only 5 grams of fat. It is because you do not all any oil or eggs. Which also makes it low Cholesterol. Cook at 350 for 20 to 25 min till toothpick comes out clean also if you make mini muffins could be about 15 min and whole lot less calories. I also added nuts to mine because I lot them. But that does cause more fat. this is optional.

These are so moist and taste great and so easy to make. My Mom just did it.

I am glad you got such a good report from your doctor, and thanks for the muffin recipe I have copied it and will try it when I can get to the store. As far as the stress test, as much exercise as you do you should pass this with flying colors. That will really make your doctor happy. And yes we all need to except compliments more easily. I am like you I have a hard time with this also. Report Inappropriate Comment

Great doctors appointment!Good for you! My last one was Feb. 17th when I found out that I weighted 215 pounds!( I had NOT weighed my self in MONTHS because I knew I was gaining weight.) I cried right there in front of the doctor! I grabbed a weight loss pamphlet...while I was there, and was introduced to the Spark web site! I am a member now! This is the best thing! Keep going girl!

You skipped something... What did the doctor say when he learned you had lost the weight the hard way? What was the expression on his face? Although I don't know your doctor, I'm laughing as I imagine what he looked like. on losing 90 lbs. Report Inappropriate Comment

Stuffy

Thursday, March 03, 2011

Well here it is the afternoon and again I am getting those feelings like I have a cold? I am hoping my MD will help me tomorrow. I just do not know what is doing this just in the afternoon, just very strange to me. Why is it happening all of a sudden. the weather is the same here, very cold and snow. So it is not pollen or something like that. I have not seen a sole all day so I just am puzzled about it. Well this has only started the last couple of weeks yet it goes away after a few hours. Plus the next day nothing when I get up?

I am just sounding off what I am dealing with. I did my weights today and also 60 min on the gazelle. My same same just to maintain the weight I am at.

Out Of It Day

Tuesday, March 01, 2011

Well I woke up from a bad dream and I was not in great spirits after. Took me awhile to get out of the mood I was in. I had help from my sister God bless her. I received a package from her. She sends me great goodie packages and I never know when I will get one. It could not have come at a better time this is one of the things she sent me.



He is the cutest thing. She had also 6 jars of different spices in the box so this monkey smelled of spices. So I skyped my sister and shared and thanked her. So now I am calling it Spice.

It does not take much to make me happy. Plus it does not take much to through me off my game either.

So I finished my day on a positive note. Thank you dear sister Sue for caring and sending me Spice to cheer me up when I needed it.

P.S. I think Ann Hathaway did a great job and looked great even in the tux.
