I stepped on the scale this morning...and I actually gained 7lbs. Which I am not surprised about much.

So now I really do have to get to the gym. Anyone needs a walking partner? I'm going to try to hit the gym every Mon, Wed & Fri and then walk for at least a mile or 2 every other day!

I decided to start this week instead of waiting for the New Years Resolution rush crowd. And I already cut out my sugar and fat intake (that's right Leslie, no more dessert!!)

Anyone with me on this?? I feel like I'm sitting on pounds of blubber.

Of course as I type this I am having a tuna sandwich from Subway, and I gave FH the cookies that came with the meal.

I'm all for cutting carbs - like white flour, potatoes, and sugary crap - but when peolpe say that veggies have carbs - come ON - I have NEVER heard anyone say - oh - look how fat I got from eating all that damn broccoli...

My whole family went on Atkins at one time - except for me - so there they are - all thousands + pounds of them eating together with plates piled high with grease and cheese... all dieting - and here I am with my plate of veggies (which I normally eat since I'm a vegetarian and don't like pasta anyway...) they wouldn't eat because of the carbs - I'm like - are ya friggin' kidding me????

Sorry - you'll just have to cut them out for your new years resolution - you know what those bad boys can do to your thighs...

eat sensibly - lots of cheese, eggs, and bacon...

didn't Atkins die from a heart attack anyway?

Re: Damn the winter & the holidays!!

There are certain veggies that do indeed have carbs (complex sugars)...to list a few: barley, beets, black-eyed peas, carrots, corn, pinto beans, sweet potatoes, white potatoes, yams

However, you being a vegeterian is a great diet to begin with!!!! I wish I could resist red meat.

Re: Damn the winter & the holidays!!

yeah i feel your pain. i had surgery earlier this year and since then i stopped working out. and sitting all day at my desk at work doesnt help at all.

I gained 20lbs this year, and because i was so tiny before now everyone keeps commenting how chubby i got and its pissing me off. thing is with me its weird i think the protein makes me gain more than carbs.

Re: Damn the winter & the holidays!!

I'm with you on the cutting out dessert. I've also started eating 1/2 of what I normally eat and am including more vegetables in my meals. I joined Curves so I'm planning on doing that 3x per week and walking on my treadmill the other days. Need to get my big butt in shape for the wedding!
