Learning more about restraunts

Saturday, July 24, 2010

Went to wendys the other day and got a baked potato with cheese broccoli and chilly ! looked it up when i got home 580 calories ! Won't happen again ! no more bake potatoes there it was 340 calories . I only ate half of the potato but its still to many calories for what you get ! Went to flea market today bought a prevention book on losing weight naturally for a quarter! I got church tonight so i am going to rest a while everyone have a great day !

It is amazing how much calories eating out can cost you. Enjoy church. Report Inappropriate Comment

Enjoy your time at church. Sometimes it is better to check the items you are planning to eat to see what the calorie count is before you go. Report Inappropriate Comment

Whenever I visit a restaurant I usually go t one with a salad-bar and make that my main meal. Sometimes eating a bit more calories helps to motivate me to work harder at staying on track. Awareness is the first step to making change. Report Inappropriate Comment

try looking up the points before you go to a restaurant and then you can make better choices. Congratulations on find out the points though and being accountable. Report Inappropriate Comment

Bought me a new pair of house shoes!

Friday, July 23, 2010

Went to the dollar store and got me a new pair of house shoes they were on sale for 2.50 instead of 5 they are a size 5-6 my other ones were a 7 and since i have lost some weight i walk out of them all the time. They are a dainy pink i really like them and it makes me feel good to know i have lost that much in my feet! When you lose you lose all over in time! My regular shoes are way to big to but i am going to by water insoles for them i think that will be good enough for awhile. Was gonna take up some of my dresses but friends from florida are coming after while and we are gone to Wendy's for a bowl of chilli so i probably won't get to it but thats ok there will be another day! I've got 2 everyday dresses that are size 16 and they are big big on me they don't even look right but i keep them and when i am having a bad day dealing with food i put one on in the house until i feel better knowing where i have come from since December! This works for me! I read another article where one of the members made herself a quilt out of her old jeans i though that was neat! Well have a good day i plan on it! Thanks for your comments on my blogs i can't get time to thank each one of you individually but i do appreciate it!!

It is so neat when you find things aren't fitting because of weight LOSS. I never thought of lossing weight in my feet but that does make sense. Enjoy your friends and have a good day. Valorie Report Inappropriate Comment

I am proud of your accomplishments. Feet going smaller, dresses large on you. Have a nice Friday! After all your canning you did. You deserve to get new house shoes. I like pink also. A happy colour. I love all Pastel colors as well. Comment edited on: 7/23/2010 11:57:13 AM Report Inappropriate Comment

We gave up soda 3 years ago when my then 16 year old son had ( still has) a kidney stone. We all gave it up. Then a year ago we gave up refined sugars. Then three months ago I gave up breads. Trust me, you will not miss the pop. It has too much sugar, salt and chemicals that will change the ph level in your body. You are doing a great job. keep it up Report Inappropriate Comment

My wife and kids are big fans of grilling it. They slice it, spray it with non-stick, dust it with some oregano and grill. They can eat big piles of it. Report Inappropriate Comment

I use butter spray to fry them and don't coat them with anything. They are still really good! Have a Great Day!! Loser's are Winner's! Report Inappropriate Comment

Get weighted a week from today

Tuesday, July 20, 2010

This month i have made alot of positive changes. I quit pop i hope for a year i am on day 4! Ha!Ha!!! We will see what happens! Get weighted a week from today at weight watchers i hope i don't gain like i did last month! This month i have wrote down each day what i ate in restraunts and am trying to make wiser choices! DH blood pressure has been up so he is going to try to lose 10 lbs and see if that helps if not he will have to go on medicine that cost 80 amonth . As everyone knows the health insurance and suppliment insurance is high. We don't have prescription insurance but we both take several different prescriptions like most people . Getting a tomato here and there out of garden ! They are great! Got a couple of cucumbers to and canning green beans! It's only 6 am and i been up about 3 hours so i think i am going back to bed for a while got a busy day today! Hope you all have a good day!

Yes, the prescriptions certainly can be expensive. I hope that both you and your hubby can lose weight! Report Inappropriate Comment
