I think the yolks has something to do with cholesterol.

Egg yolks is where all the fat and saturated fat comes from.  Saturated fat is where the bad cholesterol is.

How is the no smoking going?

[turnincircles]

Not so well.  But everyday is a new day and another day to keep trying.  I'm down to only 4-5 cigs a day.

Hey V - What day is your WW meeting?  How's it going?  I'm very pleased.  Week 1 yielded 2.2 lbs.  I really could've done better from an eating perspective, but I'm really pleased so far.  I wasn't sure how well I'd do this time since there's really no true "core" plan anymore.  Tracking is actually good for me since I have portion control issues, I just didn't want to do it.  I hope things are going as well for you! 

LWest - Congrats!  You've worked hard and are seeing significant results!

ShelleyCircles - No, I'm not going to forget your stripper name.  Hang in there girlie!  I promise, it's SO worth every nail-biting moment to get the nicotine out of your system.  You'll be so glad you did it.

Oh lord...

I have more motivation today.  I managed to get Maverick where he was wanting to take off into the barrel pattern at his own clip to the first barrel and then pushing him on... I'm going to have to get in better shape or he is SOOON going to leave me sitting at that barrel.  I have never had a horse leave harder than he does.

I gotta get lighter and quicker on my reflexes.  Woof he's quick, fast and powerful!

Are you sure lighter will be better?! LOL! He might really leave you at the barrel if you way less!! Haha!

[Gena Brent]

Jewelery and cash??!! ROCK ON!!! 

PS - I'm also promising myself a pair of new shoes.  Gotta go to the store for more broccoli!!

[PunkinNMe]

I don't actually go to meetings.  I just do the online plan, and it works realy well for me.
Since I started it I have lost a grand total of like 3 lbs . . . but that was all lost in the first two weeks . . .
I kinda fell off for the 2 weeks or so after that.
But I've maintained that loss for the start of this challenge and feel like I am doing well so far!

3lbs per week is my goal! Whic is not too far fetched on the plan to be honest.
I haven't been reaching my activity goals yet . . . but now that I've seen we are up to $75 for the month I am really gonna get on the ball with this thing!

so this morning i had special k cereal (w/2% milk, i haven't been to the store to get a different kinda milk i think i am going to go down to 1%) then my mom made some deviled eggs so i ate two and half MacKenzy ate the other half. then for lunch i ate a special K meal bar and drank some water. that meal bar held up pretty good. now it is about time i eat a snack bar. i don't know what my goal will be weekly i will just have to play it by ear.

I've gotta do something though.  Seriously... First off I was riding my old Billy Cook that does not keep this fat booty in the seat anymore.  My rough out is too slick.  But that's what James insists on riding and he warmed him up.  So...

When he left the first he threw me back behind the saddle and then forward so hard I hit myself in areas that we will not discuss on a public board.  But needless to say, I just held the heck on for the rest of the pattern for that time.  He's getting better at realizing that it's fun to run them.  And I'm not really having to kick much.  Just smooch.  He's got an accelerator that's awesome!

As soon as I get home I'm running on the treadmill for 10 minutes.  I think that's an honest small goal.  Then laying in the tanning bed... Then I gotta go get on Sable.  She was better yesterday.

Intake today has been down so far.  But I have to get treats for the kiddos tomorrow for their review.  So... Might not be such a good thing.

I'm addicted to starches too.  I end up consuming them without realizing it. 

mycaloriecounter is telling me a LOT about my eating habits, but I did manage to stay at 2000 calories yesterday.  I'd hate to know how many cals I was consuming before I started using it.

Brooksie where did you say you were keeping up with your calories?

my-calorie-counter.com

Very accurate on the things that are there and it tells you carbs, starchs, protein, sugars, sodium, calories and all that.  Plus it has a water intake for you, a journal, charts to help you see your progress and activities to enter so that you can subtract from your total!

[runningonwings]

wow, the prizes are great, I only have 3 pounds to get rid of. Can't join your challenge, but my hat is off to each and everyone. You are going to feel wonderful.
