well bozzj - you've thrown out some good recips lately & that buffalo sloppy joe is calling my name, cause i just LOVE blue cheese..Yum, Yum. i love this thread cause i get a good idea of what others are eating & it helps me change things up.

i'm just really done w/105 degree days:frown: my only escape it visiting the parents in FL this wk, and get to go from TX to FL in Aug. ....dreaming of snow....:thumbup:

[quote name=alliemorris73 ** can someone tell me how many carbs we are supposed to have per day? *** thanks~[/quote] allie - i don't count my carbs. i pretty much dumped all white ones; but with working out i need to include the "good ones" in my diet each day.

great response bloo & welcome momof5. i too have been posting my food on this thread since shortly after i got banded, mostly because it took journaling my food to be accountable while waiting for restriction & i needed 7 fills for it' to kick in -:thumbup::eek: big baby - razoos was exactly where i was sat ***still craving them pickles*** today - b- EAS carb control shake choc s- slice guoda cheese l- 5pcs spicey tuna roll d- *plan* made a cucumber salad, it's very hot out & not much sounds good at 106degrees

agree with felicia, ceradad - great accomplishment, just think how you'll do on the the next one. congrats!! yesterday - day off today - 30min treadmill 20min bike

my husband is Texan by nature - but raised by Cajuns.... i love them - and fried pickles is probably one of my favorites. it's as good as it sounds. pickle chips fried - dropped in jalepeno ranch :biggrin: today~ b - skinny latte l- 1 slice colby jack cheese d-3.5 (approx) blackend catfish ; 2 hushpuppies s - :smile::eek: spoonful or 4 of peach cobbler -

they go to catholic charities in the AM during mass. i'm SO not working out tomorrow - will do mass & head to MIL for her to cook me up some cajun food -.. though i'll eat nothing..LOL thanks renewed - you are ROCKIN' the C5K!!!!!!...

:w00t: do you all get the giggles sometimes with this band thing?? i had an extreme workout today with my husband & trainer - JUST off the hook nuts....as i was walking out of the gym *and had to change my shirt cause it was SOAKED*, some member told me - "that's the way one should look after a good workout" - well i was PURPLE. not red "faced" not my natural italian glow - PURPLE. we walked to the truck and hubby said your shoes were moving during our run and your shorts are sagging. NOW - i got an ass for days .. we literally went across the street to DICKS (love that name...LOL) sporting good and got new workout clothes. i went from a 8 1/2 to 7 1/2 running shoe - XL - Medium shorts...and well still have the girls...so still a LG up top. OMG he spend $400 on me today on workout gear and well if it weren't for the TOM i'd make his night...LOL ya'll are very special and i appreciate every post.:Banane34:

thanks jody - go join the Aug thread!!! today ~ b- 1/2c fiber one squares w/2%milk and blueberries l- :eek: a dozen maybe fried pickles w/ ranch??? and the coldest beer ever. *** i had an extreme wkout w/hubby*** & just countered it all w/ the above calories d- not part of todays' pic - still full letting MIL cook and pamper me tomorrow - and i'm sure their will be "something fried or blackened"

today ~ did a tag team with DH & our trainer for a duel session. ALL CARDIO~!!!!! 1hr - interval elliptical training / wind sprint drills / ladder drills / cone squats - please, my knees can't describe this:scared2: then after all this he had us run 2 laps around the parking lot of our 24hr fitness....now this wouldn't be SO bad, but it IS Texas, and it WAS 102 degrees at 11am. taking tomorrow off~

yesterday - b- 1/2c tuna on slice WW toast l- veggie spring roll & 1/2c edamame s- 90cal oatmeal bites chocolate d- 2 veggie bites - spinach & cheese

so, i'm in TX, on a ranch & it's HOT most days - including todays 108 in the shade - LOL sunscreen is my only moisturizer & a ball cap and big sun glasses are the norm. i have naturally dark skin (italian/jewish) - but, my mom threw SPF in my face at an early age. in hot climate - protect yourself; i will naturally get tan just walking out the door - but i do like jergen's self tanner to blend things in. at the end of the day - i think a healthy glow makes you look fit; thinner is in the eye of the beholder & the size of your thighs...:cursing:

jaymie - horse owner here as well; my big guy LOVES my butt has trimmed down some - i can so relate to your story. congrats to your NSV!!! & ENJOY riding more OFTEN!!!

i weight train twice a wk with my trainer & get in an additional 3 days of cardio & yoga. he actually wants me to start picking up my cardio & that's my current goal. i'm not a runner per se' - i probably clock 5-7 miles a wk, for me i have to mix things up with cardio (stairmaster/bike/ellitical), so to not get bored - a problem for me:) my diet had to change when i started weight training - carbs HAD to be infused. i was one of those who started out "low carb - or barely none" and it did not sustain me. i am all about balance now with my food (grains/fruits/veggies/meats & wine..LOL) and with most things in my life. i have had the habit of going to extremes..., but the band got me to focus long term for the first time in a while, and i'm extremely pleased with the results so far.

today - yoga class 20min stairmaster

you ROCK ceradad:thumbup::biggrin: love to read your write up when published, you have done AMAZINGLY!!!! good luck tom on the TRI!!!

leslie - i sorta know what your talking about. DH was banded the same day as me, and i took off with exercise immediately. took him 4+ months to follow along with me, but aggrivatingly - he had already just about reached goal (hate men lose faster:frown:). he just got tired of sat/sun mornings me going to the gym by myself & he kinda felt left out. i'm like I'd LOVE for you to join me - but i wont' force the issue. now when he's in town - he ALWAYS goes to the gym w/me, he uses my trainer now & last night he said he feels the best he has in 10yrs. sorry whosya, but i think men actually are more embarrassed than woman when hitting the gym overweight....at least that would be MO. keep doing what your doing - i bet he catches up with you, but don't deviate from your plan.

eh - that's really not the same. i read through (well the one thread) the other day it appeared to be a "supportive" page for individuals who have banded family members & how they - cope/deal/etc. i get frequent PM's from couples doing this together, i think it's a different path than the above mentioned forum.

yesterday - b- 1/2c Fiber one squares w/2% milk and blueberries s- 1oz cheddar cheese l- 3oz grilled talapia, bite of spinach d- 3/4c cream potato Soup

soooooooooooooo~~ starting the thread...let the challenge begin - i'm working out 2 days a wk with trainer ^ 1 day conditioning with baylor ftball players *yeah they're cute...LOL* got a cardio goal in my head ; love whosya & ceradad for setting the bar~~ cheeers to all who join!!!

i'm in - tsdy & thursdy trainer sessions, plus 3 additional work out days. trying to up my cardio & include more yoga. thanks for starting, lulu

welcome back Frangi !!!! i'm so excited that round 2 is scheduled for you !! your such a charming spirit & generous with your PS journeys.....SB must have LOVED ya:) lulu

you hottie:w00t:!, great compliment from your son - very charming!! congrats on the run as well today - your doing so great!!!

pick yourself up - dust off the negative vibes and get back to the basics. i too had family for over a wk & i had to try to limit the junk around me. pretty grateful i didn't fall too off the wagon - but i did continue going to the gym during that time. the band is perfect, cause it always lets you start up anew ..... GO to your Dr., never avoid the person that can assist in your weightloss journey - i agree completely w/dionna's advise there. just start back up at the beginning & go from there - cheers!
