I was thinking of some kind of mini goal/challenge that we September Bandsters could do together. I alway see people with their mini goals and exercising and weight loss goals.

well, today being 1/14, we have exactly one month until Feb 14th - Valentine's Day!!

So Why Not Dubb it "The Sweetheart Goal"?

My Sweetheart Goal is going to be to lose 14lbs between now and Valentines Day, since Vday is on the 14th. i know it seems like alot, but if we SUPPORT each other and share tips, recipes, low cal Snacks, ETC ETC, i really think that all or most of us could hit that goal!!

ANYONE WITH ME? ANYONE UP FOR THE CHALLENGE?

Well, today I'm not feeling so well. My stomach feels very uneasy so all I've had today is Protein shakes. I'm hoping to be able to eat by dinner. The good news is I'm down 2 more pounds, this atkins induction is really melting the pounds off!

Well guys, yesterday I didn't do very well. I wasn't feeling good most of the day, but I started feeling a lot better last night. We ended up going to Ruby Tuesday and I ordered the Spinach and Artichoke dip with chips. That wasn't too bad, since I had only had 2 slim fast. But, I ate some of my neices' chocolate Tallcake and once I started, I couldn't stop. The bad stuff always goes down so easy, grrrrr! I got back on track today and here's what I've had today:

B'fast- low carb slim fast

Lunch- Taco salad (no shell)

Dinner- 1 chicken breast stuffed with creamed spinach and artichoke

I didn't do so hott today on the food intake. it wasn't too too bad i guess, but i just happened to consume more today then normal. i guess its ok to do that from time to time, but now i'm scared that my weight loss may be hindered a bit by it. no biggie, i'll get back to the normal eating and exercising routine tomorrow.

here's what was on my menu today:

bkfast = 1 boiled egg

lunch = 1 cup chilli

dinner = i sorta grazed on chocolate covered pretzels, pumpkin seeds, about 2oz of ham, more chocolate covered pretzels, and some sweet tea. we had like a "snack supper" at church tonight and i did stay away from the cake, those darn pretzels were my down fall!! lol.

oh yea, i almost forgot....i had one of those 100calorie Snacks this afternoon too. i figure i've probably had approx. 1200-1500 calories today and i usually have anywhere from 400-900....depending.

anyhow, i'm not really beating myself up over it. i actually am wondering if my band might be loosening some since i've lost nearly 12 lbs in 10 days....who knows. tomorrow i'll be back at it.....AND...i have GOT to get back on that elliptical! i've been fighting the cough & cold symptoms and have really slacked off....now the cold is gone but the cough is lingering...and when i get hot, i start coughing more, so i've put the elliptical off....but that makes me fall behind on my "Year of Miles" goal....ugh! can't win for losing...tomorrows another day!

xoxo, Christie

OK - I may be jumpin into this a little late but I'd like to go for as much as I can if not all .... Getting a little discouraged with the Non-Moving scale at the moment, I am going for my 3rd fill on Wednesday but my surgeon is very conservative ... only 1 little CC each fill, I am hoping this one will kick things up a notch. Best of luck ... I will check in by weeks end and see how it's going.

Carol

Welcome Bekiboo and Carol!!! It's okay that you're jumping in late, let's just work hard to lose as much as we can before Valentine's Day!
