hello wild cats i had a good day eat my fruit and vetables drink 64 oz of water and walk 5 miles today ,stayed within my cal range

Ok Wildcats I must admit something.....for the past week I have been seriously slacking in the eating department. Thank God I kept up on the exercise or I might be up 10 lbs instead of the 1 that I am. So today I am going to start holding myself accountable like in the beginning of my journey and posting my food intake for all to see again. Obviously what I thought was not important turned out to be very important on my weight loss journey. So here it goes for today so far......


6:15a 40 minutes treadmill, 40 minutes exercise bike, 10 minutes elliptical, 1 mile around the track
1 liter of water gone and took multivitamin
9a 1c oatmeal, 2tsp light margarine , 1tbsp brown sugar ---4 pts
11a 2c fruit salad----4pts
another liter of water gone
AHHH I ate two bites of a donut dang PMS anyway-----4pts
2p chicken breast on wheat w/mustard, 2 pickles, 1 strawberry light yogurt----8pts
5p 1c cooked cabbage, 2tsp light margarine, 1c boiled potatoes, 1 piece turkey sausage----8pts
drank another 1 liter bottle

Will be back to update as the day goes on. Have to get right back on before all is lost. Thanks so much for all the support. You guys are my lifesavers and I love you all.

The Skinny on Elliptical Machines
When you're looking for a break from you usual treadmill routing, you might want to try an elliptical machine. They have some nice features: Most machines have a lot of variables built in, and many have movable handles that you can use to work your upper body. Obviously, if the machine you're using has the option for maximizing your session by working the upper body, use it.
When working out on an elliptical machine, it's important to increase resistance. Otherwise, gravity will be doing all the work for you. You can target different leg muscles by varying the ramp incline. If the ramp is inclined and you're pedaling forward, you're working the back leg muscles: the hamstrings, glutes, and calves. If the ramp is at a lower incline and you pedal backward, you're training the front leg muscles: the quads and dorsiflexors.

Elliptical workouts are especially good for people with knee problems — they will find the elliptical machine to be a great cardio alternative to running because it is much easier on the joints.
