Wow, have I been up for a long time. Mufasa has been whining in his cage for what seems like forever. Might as well get up and make use of the time, huh? But he's so sweet and so worth it!!!!!!!!!!!

Robin/Buffetgirl - Nice to see you again!

Looking forward to a good day. Yesterday was great other than a slice of zuke. bread, but not as bad as it could've been. Today should be good. Haven't ate yet - just working on my water at the moment. Here's the plan:

b - Wheat Chex & a banana

You know what? I just realized I have no plan for today! My MIL is taking DDs for a chunk of the day and I'll be on my own to catch up on some things. Hopefully I can keep out of the kitchen!!!! So it looks like the day will go like this:

s - ??
l - romaine, Gala apple, dried sweet cherries, peanuts
s - ??
d - ??

I like when I have a better idea about my day but I've been doing really good so hopefully that momentum stays high!

Hello Kate and all other Peeps to follow!!

Ah, yes, the crate training of the puppy. This was so hard for me when we got Roxie. Bowie was a rescue and was 2 years old, so we didnt go through that. I felt so bad, i recall a couple of nights letting her out and sleeping on the floor with her!!

Another hot one here in Toronto, i got up at 4am did BG, leg blast and it was a bit cooler than later in the day.

DH is going to the cottage today until Sunday, i'm oncal at the hospital, so i'm free for the long weekend!!

I also want to say how much i love this check in!! And all of you wonderful clean and tidy ladies!!

So far, breakfast, the usual, oatmeal, hemp pro, almond milk and blueberries!!
Have a great day everyone,
Steph
 
G'morning Clean & Tidy Peeps!! Busy day y'day, spent a few hrs at the pool w/ my dd's again. Dinner was awesome though, I had a chicken breast chopped over salad w/ a little olive oil & balsamic, and some sauteed zucchini, onions, garlic, & mushrooms. YUM!!

My day so far.... just 20 oz water & cup of coffee.

It's our 11th anniversary, so my sweetie Greg & I are going to dinner tonight!!! I don't know where we'll go yet, so many choices. We hardly ever go out on a *date* night so this will be lots of fun! And then tomorrow night we're going out to eat w/ 2 other couples. So 2 nights of eating out, I'll be as clean as I can but might splurge just a little since it is our anniversary!! ;-)

I'll update later w/ the food plan!
 
Morning to all!
Jess-Happy Anniversary! My DH and I celebrated our 11th last month too! Enjoy eating out two nights in a row!
Steph-How do you work out at 4am? I am doing BG today too, but not until 8 am!

Eating plan
B-Coffee and another Stonyfield yogurt 90 cal cup
L-Salad
D-Chicken Florentine (A clean version) with steamed veggies

I am going to try making Sour cream chocolate cupcakes with quinoa flour. Wish me luck this could be a disaster.

DH is on call this weekend and its jsut me and the kids(YIKES), wish me luck on that too!

Have a great day!
 
TGIF to All of the Clean and Tidy Peeps:)

I'm high off of adrenalin (sp?) right now b/c I just finished MIS w/o for 75 mins. It took me almost 2 hour to finish it...I got confused with all the different weights :+

B- kashi and fruit
S-fruit and yogurt
L- chicken and green salad
S- protein bar 1/2
D- fish and veggies
S- not sure but nothing after 7:00

Colleen enjoy your beach day.
Hi Robin I often snack on chocolate protein bars. You went all week with no chocolate? WOW

Kate
can you take a pic of Mufasa in his cage giving you those sad puppy eyes? I would love to see it.

Good w/o Steph. Happy Anniversary Jess and Mikkia...anniversary cake really don't count either.
;)

chat later
 
Happy Friday ladies! Today won't be quite as clean..heh hmmmmm ;-)

"breakfast": Starbucks "low fat" lemon scone with tea (with cream and sugar)

lunch: whole wheat fettucini noodles with low sodium organic tomato sauce and a bit of fresh grated parmesian, one red bell pepper cut into strips

snack: green tea and unsweetened applesauce

dinner: a fish fry, half scoop of macaroni salad, and a water

I will also of course be drinking 40 oz+ water during the day :)
I guzzled quite a bit yesterday between the heat and IMAX 2

Have a great weekend all!!!!!!!
 
Good morning, girls! Lots of news from everyone this morning!

Jess, I'm jealous of all the time you've gotten to spend w/ your girls swimming recently! My in-laws have a pool (10 mins. away) but life has been so busy we haven't had much time to go - only about 1x/wk. Congrats on your A*day! We just had our 8th. Where does the time go?

Mikkia - Let us know how your cupcakes turn out. If they're good please share the recipe. I'm a sucker for new recipes. Yesterday Gina and I tried out 2 different zuke. bread recipes - yikes! The one w/ more sugar & oil won the taste test we all had later - duh!

High fives to those who w/o in the AM. I usually get 5 hrs. of sleep a night and I just can't jump around that early!

Robin - I'm computer challenged and would love to post a pic of Mufasa! Any how-to would be great!

Beavs - your lunch sounds very yummy!!!

Keeping to my eating plan so far - need to get working now!
 
Morning Peeples. Day 8 without chocolate (so far anyway.)

B-fast WW eng muffin with almond butter, banana
Lunch PB&J on WW, carrots, tomato, berry salad
Dinner Fish (something grilled or steamed) broccali, rice

I did IMAX 2 last night in the heat. It took me forever because I was taking extra long pauses between segments 6 through 10. Tonight will be B&G.
 
I'm posting early today because I'm going to be out and about this evening - and I'm finally going grocery shopping!

B - Granola bar & big glass of water
L - Probably roasted veggies again, they were yummy last time, & some fruit.
S - Either some soy yoghurt or mixed nuts & fruit
D - Going out to eat, so I'm not sure what I'll get yet.

Happy Friday, everyone :)
 
Hey that's a good idea. I'll tell my son that PB & J on WW is healthy snack or lunch.
Robin I do the same thing with my step w/o. It's the heat. I bet we can go longer during the cold winter months. I just started doing Cathe so this winter I'm going to see if I can last longer.

Kate I'm in the same boat. It took me two hours to figure out how to put my avatar on my profile. :+
 
I've been trying to like several of the different Natural PBs and I must say...nothing beats Jif Extra Chunky. I KNOW there's the added sugar to make it taste good but DDs absolutely will not eat any other brand, and honestly I prefer it too. I've even tried sneakily mixing it and they notice right away. Since we hardly ever have it I'll keep it around and ust be sure to keep sugar consumption lower that day.

since breakfast this has been my day -

s - slice zuke. bread
l - pear and 1/4 c. peanuts

normally L. is bigger but I'm stuck at my desk all day so not really burning anything/not getting hungry.

will have some kind of healthy snack later (just say no to zuke. bread!!! I can do it!!!) and a very healthy dinner.

Later!
 
Hello!!

Robin, i had to leave the PB and go to almond butter, the PB is just too addictive, i cant have it in the house!
I'm at work now, but i hear our home internet is down, and could be for up to 48 hours!!
How am i going to check in here :)
If i cant, have a great, and clean and/ or tidy weekend, or just enjoy whatever and we'll deal with it!!
Steph
 
Hi guys!

I only have a minute to check in right as I'm running out the door to have drinks (yeah, you heard right, DRINKS }( !) and dinner with friend. I am allowing myself to wallow tonight, but for only one night. The good news from yesterday...I stuck to my plan and had no ice cream last night. The bad news...my house was broken into and most of my jewelry was stolen, including some pieces that can NEVER be replaced;( ;( ;( ;( ;( ! Hence, why I'm allowing a night out with a friend. I stayed squeaky clean today so I can have a couple tonight.

I'll check back later tonight.
 
Wendi
So sorry to hear about your jewelry. I can't imagine. You deserve a few drinks, and maybe a few apetizers too!

I just did B&G, at 4 pm, not 8 am like I was supposed to. Now I know why Steph works out at 4 am. NO interruptions!

Still haven't got to the Quinoa cupcakes yet.x(
 
You guys have discovered my dark and dirty secret. Yes, PB is the bottom level on my pyramid. Kate, if you stick with the natural PB long enough, it grows on you. The sweetened brands are just too sweet after awhile.

Wendi!!!! That's terrible news. And scary. I hope they catch the creep/creeps before they sell your jewelry.

Still no chocolate. A coworker bought everyone at work a candy bar because we got some rotten news today. I brought mine home for my DH. The news was they hired a nasty, truely evil woman to fill the opening in our department. Everyone is sick over the news. She is the type of person who thrives on drama and upheaval, and if there isn't enough around her, she will create it with lies and manipulation. She's worked in our department and actually left twice, the last time calling us back-stabbing biatches. I don't know why she even wanted to get back in the department and the only reason she got the position is because HR is scared to death of a law suit. I know we'll all be able to be professionals and work with her, but we sure won't have as much fun at the job as we do now.
 
Wendi - I hope you weren't home when the robbery happened. So sorry to hear about this for you. We were robbed when I was in 1st grade. We were home (me, mom, and bro) and I am PETRIFIED of the dark to this day. I takes everything I have in me to walk across a dark house to go to DDs when they call me at night. I *like* to think that anyone who would be casing our house would look at the great dane and be like "no way, jose!" I'm sure it will take some time for you and your family to be comfortable in your house again. We actually moved to another city....maybe I shouldn't be telling you this stuff!

Robin - Sorry for the work news! It's amazing how much drama that unhappy people will create to make everyone else as unhappy as they are. We're self-employed - sometimes it's frustrating being the boss, but at least we get to pick who we work with! What do you do / where do you work? P.S....what kind of candy bar was it??!!:7 :7 :7 :7 :7
