just don't duck too hard with your neck

READ THOSE LABELS!!!!

don't assume a granola bar is better for you than a chocolate bar with nuts

you should enjoy everything you eat

one word = FIBER

doesn't look like fat is a problem at all

I even personally prefer less of the real thing than

nonfat substitutes for taste & satisfaction

you shouldn't use a *diet* product for a meal unless you really enjoy it

if you read labels, you can really see how you are eating alot of carbs &

even fats in a food you thought was a healthy choice

you do not need yogurt for a smoothie

just use any fruit and liquid like juice or skim milk

I have found a smoothie gives me more lasting energy so now have a smoothie

on days I do an advanced work-out and flavored oatmeal on the basic work-out

days. If you don't mind the crunch, I add wheat bran to my smoothies and

oatmeal for more fiber too.

if you are nibbling on the kids' pancakes, check the labels on the frozen

waffles for one high in fiber instead. If you like broth type soups, have one

before each meal.

white bread won't really *hurt* you but if you don't like wholewheat, how

about rye or a pita or a soft tortilla wrap?

again read the labels cuz fiber can really vary

Even a small change like salsa instead of cheese on the chips would make a

big difference and read the labels on the chips too cuz I have found some

corn tortilla chips with alot of fiber. Better yet try veggies with the salsa.

try a couple of dates or figs or even dry cereal instead of applesauce

compare carbs, fat, and most of all FIBER then decide what to buy and eat

based on what will leave you feeling satisfied instead of deprived

If you cannot eat like this the rest of your life what is the point of

depriving yourself for a temporary weight loss?

One last tip, if you think you are hungry,

try doing the 8 minute work-out instead of grabbing an extra snack

if you still want that snack afterwards, have it.

Um le,

Did you read my post about my donut binge? I ate 5, yes 5, glazed donuts a

few weekends ago. Believe me, if that did not destroy my whole diet, a few

tortilla chips with nacho cheese won't do it for you. I think your eating

sounds really good. An occasional treat is not " bad " . Try to eat healthy 85%

of the time. That is my weight loss theory. We'll see if it works, LOL!!

Thanks Angie! Sometimes I have to remind myself of that. It is funny how you

never really realize how far you have come until someone points it out!

whose dad showed me a picture of myself 2 years ago and I could not

believe the person in the picture was me!!! My 12 year old sister said, " you

never looked happy then. Now you always smile "

[Guest guest]

le,

In my fruit smoothies, I use nonfat vanilla yogurt (sometimes I use

vanilla soymilk)...which is slightly sweetened. I like the Stoneyfield

Farms brand yogurt...available in natural food stores and in some

supermarkets in areas such as california in the new york. Bananas

sweeten a lot too. I use two scoops of protein (soy-based) powder, a

1/4 cup of ground flaxseeds, 1 cup of frozen raspberries, and a frozen

banana. Yum! (The flaxseeds cover the much-raved about omega oils and

5 grams of protein, and the soyprotein covers the much-raved about

isoflavones and 23 grams of protein, and the yogurt covers a good deal

of my calcium requirement and 8 grams of protein.)

Wow Barb. Thank you - and you were so nice about it too!!! I

Barb,

I love reading your updates because they are always so uplifting and

they remind me how inconsistent the scale is and how much our weight

fluctuates for no reason at all. You are such an inspiration and your

attitude is truly contagious! Thank you

>>

Thanks

actually watching the scale is just a roller coaster ride,

more fun on the way down, more scarey on the way up

but always defying gravity

I bought my ticket to ride by being commited to exercise and healthy food

choices (85% of the time, right ?)

and hope the ride never slows down

till it is at the very bottom for the safest exit

and even then, I may jump back on using those strong new muscles

just for the fun of it

Barb

who cannot take my scale seriously when its low value and high value can vary

by as much as 10 pounds on any given day and just ignores the weird lows and

highs that sometimes pop up

I should probably up my fiber intake. My IBS is weird. It usually only hits

when I have eaten really poorly. That day I had 5 donuts was not a fun one!!

I have noticed that exercise has seemed to improve it. I am not sure if it is

because my abs muscles are stronger, if that has anything to do with it. Or

if it is just that exercise has helped my over all mood and stress level.

I like that motto! That sounds like a great theory and I'd say you've

already proven it works I think I'll adopt this as my new

motto...that way we don't have to feel guilty about our little

" indulgences " !

I have a question about IBS. Mike has this and I was wondering if doing

Tae-Bo has helped with the IBS? Mike at points has had to take muscle

relaxers for his IBS and sometmes I feel so bad when he is just walking

around having spasms. What are good sources of fiber?

Yogurt Smoothie with no icky taste:

8 - 12 oz of Orange Juice (or some OJ blend with another juice that has a strong flavor)

1 cup of yogurt (experiment with different brands - the custard style doesn't usually taste icky, but tends to be higher in fat)

1 cup of frozen blackberries (high in fiber and very flavorful which tends to mask other flavors)

1 banana (the riper the better - stronger flavor!)

2 tbsps of protein powder (i get mine from wild oats. the booklet says it has 88g of protein, but i doubt that)

1/4 cup of ground flax seed (high in fat, but it's the very good kind of essential fatty acids and an unbelieveable amt of fiber)

good luck!

Wow, that is so great! Tae-bo helped you find your smile And now,

it's never gonna leave again!

[Guest guest]

Thanks - but the chips and cheese thing has been an ongoing

craving for a few weeks now. Some weeks I take the kids to the Coffee

Bean for lunch and we all order nachoes and I take their leftovers home

for me to eat. I think I am saving myself from a whole bag and

container of cheese but there are the weeks that I give in and buy it

without wanting to think about it. Those glazed donuts sound as good

tonight as they did when you posted - it's a good thing the bakery is

closed here. (small town) Actually, for having a hometown bakery (the

best kind) just a few blocks from our house (I live in a town where we

are a couple blocks from downtown and a couple blocks from the edge of

town!) I have been really good about the bakery cravings. Hubby

brought me home a donut on the morning we signed the purchase agreement

and that was my first since last fall. Now to conquer the cheese and

chips so I can say the same thing.
