Update

Did another detox this weekend and lost 3 more pounds!!! Yea!!! So happy to be losing...

Hello Ladies! Wheeha! Weight loss is such a struggle, but we are going to do it! I joined LA Weight Loss on March 9th, and today I am 13 pounds down now! It is hard, learning new eating habits, portion sizes and such, but my entire family is doing it as well. My dad is rocking! Approximately 6-8 pounds down for him too, and my mom has lost 5 pounds! It is so much easier when the pwoplw around you are doing it too! We also bought the new kit from Leslie Sansone from Costco and I love the variety workouts! It makes exercising more fun when you can do different things. You go girls, we are going to be healthy!!!

Again!

I thought as I read my last post title how funny it must be to some. She is back on it again!! And again! And again! How many times have I posted that I am back at it!

But then I thought "But that's good! That's why I am still ahead of what I was 5 years ago!!!" The secret is I keep getting back on the wagon!!

The failure is falling off and staying off!!!

So if you have fallen off.....jump back on!!!! AGAIN!!! It's the only way to stay ahead!!

Okay back on the program!

I was down 8.6 lbs since the first of the year when I left for Israel and Europe.

I gained 4 of it back! In Europe...too many bakeries and breakfast was bread, cheese, meats, yogurts, pastries.

SOOOO....here goes again. Started with good diet and exercise today!! Have to regain the ground I lost and then onto more loss!!!

Plan to reach my goal by May 1st!!! 15 total lbs down from 1st of year.

FYI

I usually do not post unless I am losing and I have decided to break that cycle. I stayed the same this week and I DO understand why. I had a wake up call regarding some food that I sometimes eat. Make sure you check out Tim Horton's site and McDonald's site. You may have to google the Canadian version for nutritional information. A McDonald's low fat muffin has 360 calories. A carrot muffin has 430. A Tim's breakfast sandwich (sausage) is 510 calories. Egads! The sausage biscuit from Mc Donald's in the states is around 500 calories and there is not even egg or cheese on it! And hubby snuck me two across the border! Yes, I did eat both of them but not on the same day. Still that is 1000 extra calories. Poof! Like that!

Here is a good site to look at and groan!

100 Calorie Snacks

Who hasn't spent way too much moolah on a box of those cleverly packaged 100-calorie baglettes of cookies or crackers? Even though you know they cost roughly twice what a regular bag does -- not to mention that all that packaging is a mini-environmental disaster -- still, they limit temptation.

Save your dough and satisfy your snack attacks with one of these treats. Lots are single servings; nearly all the rest can be popped into mini-plastic bags and thrown into a pocket or bag. No will power needed.

5 Hershey's dark chocolate Kisses or, if chocolate's gotta be Dove for you, 2 Dove Promise dark chocolate miniatures
2 fresh figs or 1 juicy pear
½ English muffin toasted with just enough cheddar to meltingly cover the top
1 heaping cup of cherries
12 almonds
12 dried apricot halves
1 Dannon Light & Fit Raspberry Smoothie
1 Klondike Slim-a-Bear fudge bar
48 Rold Gold pretzel sticks
2 Dole frozen fruit juice bars (go wild and have 3 if you like -- at 30 calories a pop, who cares?)
1 Starbucks 8-oz. Caramel Macchiato, made with nonfat milk
And if you're pregnant and craving pickles and nothing but, you can happily munch and crunch through 8 medium dills.
