Good luck Joni!
I'm restarting WW today after taking a (stupid) break. We're almost the same starting weight!
Thanks girls! It's just time for me to take charge and quit making excuses.
Today's workout:
35 mins on my treadmill at 3.5 mph and 4 incline. Burned 417 calories
30 mins cleaning my hardwood floors- burned another 300 calories!
Yep I love my HR monitor, it keeps me motivated to feel the burn!
Good job! You will do great!

Today's workout 37 mins on my treadmill for a calorie burn of 460.
No excuses!
Good luck! I like your motto
My chalk loving 2 1/2 y.o. boys!
Another treadmill workout today. This time I walked for 72 mins and burned 757 calories! I attribute this workout to having a good playlist of songs to keep me going and my husband was home to entertain our girls so I had uninterrupted time for ME!
No excuses.
We went out to dinner tonight at Outback and I maintained control and stayed under calories on MFP! 6oz sirloin, sweet potato and salad with tangy tomato!
lunch veggie snack
one yellow pepper cut into large chunks
one red pepper cut into large chunks
1/4 yellow onion chopped
one cucumber, peeled, cut into chunks
one teaspoon EVOO
salt & pepper
sicilian crushed red pepper and garlic seasoning- 3 shakes
garlic salt-shake
You're doing such a good job!

This sounds so yummy and pretty easy, too!
Another favorite go to lunches:
tuna patties
one large can solid white albacore tuna
1 egg
worchestershire sauce-Tablespoon
salt and pepper
bread crumbs- just enough to make it dry enough to form into patties
cook with pam in a skillet couple minutes each side
this usually makes enough patties to have for lunch several days.

Oooo, both those lunch ideas sound great!
Oh yum! I'm going to have to try that one. I'm on a big tuna kick right now!
Today's salad-306 calories on MFP
Carrot & apple salad
one cup shredded carrots
one small pink lady apple (chopped)
1 ounce raisins
1 TBS kraft mayo with olive oil
1 teaspoon EVOO
salt and pepper to taste
very small amount of chopped onion
Mix well and enjoy

Hope this works! I made this motivational board today. Its on a canvas and is hanging right in front of my treadmill so I look at it while I work out. Just wanted to share. I think if you click the picture you can see it larger.

That's pretty cool! If I had a treadmill or elliptical at home I'd make one, too!
Just a couple things.
My first weigh in is Monday, I am choosing an every other week weigh in.
My DH left today for a 2 week trip to Taiwan for work.
Love the board, Joni!! What a great idea!
Good luck on your weigh in!
And super good luck to you while your DH is gone!
lunch-pt 1
one gala apple
1 ounce colby jack cheese
1 cup sauteed spinach with a little onion
You would be amazed how filling this is.
