Okay, so I have been keeping up w/my normal eating patterns of chicken, oatmeal, egg whites, etc. But lost track of my journal since everyone in our household has been sick the last few days. Between hubby and I having horrible sinus infections and my daughter having fevers and being up all night (getting new teeth) I am exhausted. I've still been doing 30 mintues pilates the last few days, but no cardio happening w/these terrible headaches. Well, I'll keep on drinking lots of fluids and hope I can "kick" this.

Do you log your food in fitday? ....watch the fruit and fruit juices.....LOTS of sugar in those. Reading your log....they're probably around more for the kids.

Try some Chrystal Lite or something "just for you". Write a big MOM'S SPECIAL POTION on it or something!! lol

Hope your feeling better!

I have logged in in Fitday before, but not in the past few days. I just count the calories/fat/protein off of the packages according to what servings i have I add or subtract from those #'s. I forgot all about Crystal Lite.....yummy I will have to go buy some tomorrow. I guess you could say fruits and juices are my weakpoint, I think the crystal lite might curb that. LOL, I really like the idea of Mom's Special Potion, (the kids will get a "kick" out of it too, I'm sure) thanks!

For some reason I don't have the option to edit my last post so that I can add what I had for dinner last night.......6pm-1 turkey italian sausage link (this was surprisingly good, and it tasted like regular Italian sausage); 1/2c steamed broccoli; 6 mediumn pasta shells, 16oz water

I'm still trying to "kick" this sinus infection, I woke up the other day and barely had a voice, and my head felt like it was the size of a watermelon....UG! Oh, well, I'm trying not to let it keep me from my excersice. I'll get over it eventually, just wish it was sooner than later.

I'm new on the board as well, hubby got me started just like you. I'm in the same boat you are when it comes to diet. He wants to gain weight I want to loose weight. It's been hard but we are finally getting the fridge and pantry to where we can both be happy. We have been eating alot of cottage cheese with fruit and yogart. Both have a decent amount of protein in them for the men and low fat for the girls. Great job on the log and weight lose. Hope you feel better soon!

Thanks for the encouragement! I am SLOWLY feeling better, i think that cardio yesterday made a difference. We're getting better about the fridge and pantry issue too. Yay! Yummy, yogurt, I love yogurt, now I'll have to go get some. Yesterday I bought some rice cakes, reduced fat wheat thins and "100cal pack" cookie bites (100cals/3g fat & 1 protein) these will be my rewards at the end of every week part of my cheat meal. But even when I have a cheat meal I still try to keep it healthy, NO McDonals, Steak & Shake etc for me. Just the thought of a big fat grease burger makes my stomach churn, ug! I guess that's good and means I'm making some progress, when it comes to that. I just needed to get into a regualr routine, and stick w/it. I think I'm doing alright so far. I figure I want it bad enough and I'm willing to make these sacrifices to get there. I even thought about cutting the 1 cheat meal out completely in hopes that it'd help me get to my goal quicker.
