Hi girls. My Nemesis is off until Wednesday too. He better be on his good behavior or he's going to be seeing my own personal fireworks :p He's been on my nerves lately and no, it couldn't be ME...no way! lol (For real, it isn't me!!!) Anyhow, we have some yard work to do, a list of projects that need done around the house that I need his help with, and I'm having my family over on the 4th of July for a picnic.

Have a great weekend!

Good morning girls! I am being bad and using psychology today. I put up dancing cool Stewie just for you, Gab, so you wouldn't get me too bad for being a slacker in the exercise department. He is pretty funny! Anyway, I couldn't hide in a corner because of the guilt, so I am hiding behind Stewie today!

It's so good to see your post, Lori! I'm so proud of you for exercising!!!!! You go girl! I missed you too. Sounds like you're doing great!

Hope everybody has a great TGIF!

Over the hump day!

2006-06-28T09:01:00.000-04:00

Hi girls! I'm a little behind in everything this week, as I had company all day Monday and then Nia came at 4:00ish afterward and stayed over. I have her again today instead of tomorrow, so I won't know what day it is. She's a busy little girl & so funny too :) This age is a lot of fun and tiring too! She had Ang & me pooped out last night! Anyway, I did finally get out of my bad habit of eating at night again and snacking. I have to admit that it I was really hungry the last 2 days, but I feel better knowing I'm getting back on track with my menus. Now I have to get back in sync with exercising too. I have been dead tired the last two days after Nia finally went to sleep.

Have a great over the hump day!

Good morning. I understand what you're going through, Gab, because I have been having a hard time sticking to my menu and doing exercise. I think some of my problem is stress eating, but at other times, I have been just plain old starving. For me, it seems I was fine until I started eating a little more and that led to wanting more. Anyway, I have to buckle down today and get back on track with my menu and formal exercise. That's the bottom line for me, as it was working until I got off track with both things. So what better day than today to start!

Have a good day girls!

Today I am going back on my apples. I will still be trying to stay lower carb, but the low carb bars just seemed to leave me craving chocolate a lot and hungry. Check out the article below.

Gab

By Amy Paturel, M.S., M.P.H.

http://diets.aol.com/newsandtrends/high-fiber

It's no secret that boosting your fiber intake can help you drop pounds. And while diets that banish carbs and glorify protein continue to gain notoriety, the research tells a different story. A recent study published in the Journal of the American Dietetic Association found that the main difference between "normal-weight" adults and their overweight counterparts was the amount of fiber they consumed.

Although the two groups reported similar intakes of sugar, bread, dairy products and vegetables, the normal-weight subjects consumed a whopping 33 percent more dietary fiber and 43 percent more complex carbohydrates each day (per 1,000 calories) than those who were overweight or obese. Why is fiber such a key player in the battle of the bulge?

It Swells in Your Belly and Fills You Up. "Fiber slows digestion and adds bulk to the diet," says Milton Stokes, M.P.H., R.D., owner of One Source Nutrition, LLC, a private nutrition practice based in Southern Connecticut. "When you feel fuller longer, you're apt to snack and nibble less."

It's Low in Calories. Foods that are high in fiber are generally low in fat and calories. Cup for cup, a fiber-rich food will have much fewer calories than its low-fiber counterparts. A cup of apple juice weighs in at 117 calories and 0 grams of fiber while an apple (with skin) comes in at 74 calories and 3.4 grams of fiber. And since the body can't break down fiber, it runs right through your digestive tract -- instead of landing on your hips.

It Keeps Blood-Sugar Levels in Check. "Fiber helps stabilize blood sugar levels, preventing the erratic peaks and valleys that can send you on a stampede to the fridge," says Stokes. Keeping blood sugar on an even keel can also help reduce the risk of diabetes.

It Promotes Overall Health. Fiber also improves gastrointestinal health. Most fiber-rich foods like fruits, vegetables, legumes and whole grains have a healthy dose of disease-fighting antioxidants to boot.

TGIF!!!

2006-06-23T12:16:00.000-04:00

Hi girls! Happy TGIF Day!!!! The last 2 days I've been cleaning and boy did it need it! Funny how you start by cleaning one thing (like the drapes) and then it makes everything else that needs done more noticeable! Anyway, I've been scrubbing away. Yesterday I had Nia and we played all day and then right after she left, my hubby came home from his trip for work and I got him all unpacked. So I've been getting lots of exercise in that respect. I still have to buckle down with the treadmill schedule though.

I'm excited for you guys, Gab! Today's the big day where you pick up Pandy's new brother :) Can't wait to see his pic and hear all about him too!

Hope everyone has a great weekend!

Hi girls! Nice to see everybody back here. Happy Summer...Today's the first official day of summer!

We had a great time this past weekend and I was so tired on Monday that I actually took a nap during the day...something I NEVER do! Yesterday I had Nia and got the house back in order. I did manage to get back on track with my menu, but not the treadmill. I am doing that today.

Hope everyone has a great day!

I have been swamped working on two top secret projects, and neglecting my fitness terribly. I actually did 2 miles yesterday, but menu wise the past month I have simply had a time. Starting today I will also be keeping track of my calories again as it seems that really helps keeping me in check.

Gab

2006-06-17T11:15:00.000-04:00

I didn't forget about you girls! Thanks for keeping things going here, Gab! I've been SUPER MOM for the last few days. The girls and I have been cleaning out my gameroom (and it was MESSY with piles of junk everywhere) to get ready for Angela's Birthday Picnic tomorrow. I've also been in the kitchen from morning till night the last 2 days and have another full day in there again today. I am having 40-50 people over tomorrow for a Birthday/Father's Day picnic and am doing all the cooking myself. I also made potato salad for 250 people for my niece's Graduation party today! I am NEVER looking at mayo or potatoes again in my life :p

I stuck to my diet until yesterday when I just had low carb bars & picked at veggies because I was sick of cooking and looking at food! I didn't do formal exercise yesterday after my dr apt, but I have been getting a lot of exercise cleaning out! I even am washing drapes now. It does feel good to have gotten some things done I've been wanting to do. I will be on my scheduled exercise Monday because we have the exercise equipment in the corner with stuff on it to make room for the party tomorrow. I had my chiro appt. yesterday and it helped the chest and rib pain I was having. Now I could use him for my neck and back after all the cooking! Anyhow, I will try to post tomorrow after the party or at the latest Monday AM. I'm also getting hubby ready to go to Las Vegas next week for a seminar for work. I hate when he has to go away. A day is good...but I have to admit that I miss him after the first day!

I hope you're having a good weekend, Gab. Why don't you and the Nemesis take a LONG motorcycle ride to PA for the party tomorrow? Starts at 2:00 if you want to take the drive :p That would be a really cool surprise :) Please tell your Nemesis I wish him a Happy Father's Day! He's one cool Dad!

Hi girls! Yesterday was one of those nonstop days and the next few will be the same. I stuck to my menu, but will not be doing my exercising until Friday when I have a chiro appt, as I have been having pain in the middle of my ribs/chest. I know it's probably not heart-related, but rather musculoskeletal, but it is scaring me a bit. I have a family history of high cholesterol in the Italian side of my family which I acquired too and had run out of my meds for the last week. I just got them in yesterday and feel better having started that again. My cholesterol is high even when I'm on low fat diets and the meds are the only thing that helps.

Thanks for the Bday wishes for my baby, Gab! Happy Over the Hump Day!

Angela, 14 today, and a close family friend taken earlier today

Hi girls! Today's my daughter's 14th Birthday! It's hard to believe she's 14!!! This picture was taken just a little bit ago before she went to Kennywood (local amusement park) for the day with her best friend and their family. Since she wasn't going to be home this evening, we had an ice cream cake for her last night with just us and her best friend. We are still up in the air on whether we're having her Birthday party this weekend or next, as my oldest niece is having her graduation from high school party Saturday. My daughter has always LOVED her birthday parties! We always have a big picnic with all the family and have games for the little ones.

Anyway, I didn't have any ice cream cake and stuck to my menu and exercise finally! I am going to have to go because Nia just woke up and is calling me.

Hi girls! Well, I'm going to try to post for the 2nd time this morning! The first I did earlier wouldn't post and said "error" and I see there is a scheduled outage in PST time, but I'll try again. I don't have anything exciting to report anyway. lol Saturday, I did my exercising, but not my menu and yesterday, I did my menu, but not my exercising! Shooting for a do both in one day today! I emailed Gab with a few questions about the exercising, as my legs were getting so sore, and she was hepful, as always! I am going to over the next week concentrate on working my time up to 20 minutes on the treadmill and will work in other things like the bike, etc. from there.

I hope everyone had a good weekend!

Hi girls! Well, I slipped up yesterday and finally got into the stupid chocolate covered pretzels. I had 3 and dipped them in the chunky peanut butter jar too...ugggh! Anyway, they are GONE because I sent them with my hubby and daughter in their road trip snack today. They are on their way to my hubby's sister's in Philly for our niece's graduation party. He better not bring any back home tomorrow! I held out for 4 days, but yesterday I lost, so I'll be posting my menu without calories & carbs for today.

Hi girls! TGIF!! So glad to see your 'Friday Bad Video' and your post today, Gab! Been thinking of you and know it's been a really rough week to say the least! I hope you get some time to relax this weekend. Posting your diet to the EP Blog...giggling...did you go 'blonde' again :p While you were out, I introduced the 'TGIF Bad Video Dancers' since I can't figure out how to do the video. They sort of dance to the beat of the song you have posted.

I stayed on my menu yesterday, but had to take a day off of exercising, as I was so sore from not only the exercising, but also from picking up Nia the night before last and all day yesterday and from playing. My leg and arm muscles were hurting and cramping all day yesterday. Anyhow, we had a nice day. Nia and I called my hubby and convinced him to take a half a day since it was so nice out and we all hung out together playing with Nia outside. It was a lot of fun.

Have a great TGIF day!

I would like to thank everyone for their kind words. While in VA my cousin collapsed on me. I have been on anti-inflamatories all week and it seemed fine yesterday and today, but I will not pick up my exercise until Monday. To say this week has been a long one is an understatement. To give you a clue as to how "Out of sorts" I am, I posted this post to my EP blog by accident at first today. Arrrggggggghhhhhhh!

I will start keeping track of my menu today. Lord knows I need to. I don't think I have ever eaten as much Southern home cooking as I have this past week. I don't even want to think about what I have put on.

Today is once more Bad Video Friday!!!! CLICK IF YOU DARE!!!

Actually you may have to click two or three times :) .

My Crack Down Day #3...

2006-06-08T09:30:00.001-04:00

Good morning girls! I posted a picture of Madonna, one of my favorite artists, from her new 'Confessions on a Dance Floor' album. This is what gets me to push and finish my exercises. It's a great upbeat CD to exercise to. I put my headphones on and keep telling myself 'just a few more songs'. Towards the end when my legs are numb and I still have more to do, I really have to push myself! Put in your fav CD and give it a try...it helps!

Anyhow, I did it for the 3rd day and I'm going to keep pushing it. It was fun to find a couple pair of brand new shorts that didn't fit last year that not only fit now, but I have some room in them too.

I just put Nia down for her short morning nap. She stayed all night last night and was up early with us. Ang is going to her Kennywood (local amusement park) picnic from school today. My little baby is now going to the high school next year! I can't believe she's old enough to go to high school...OR that I am that OLD! LOL!!! She just patted my back and said "you're not THAT old, Mom". Ahhh...she wants something :p

I hope everybody has a great day!
