Where did Saturday go??

It's 10:46pm on Saturday and I am just now getting a chance to sit down at the computer. Where does the day go sometimes? Was busy packing my son this morning (we leave for the beach in the morning) then went to hold an open house (I'm a part time real estate agent) then ran some errands, dropped son off with mother-in-law, went to dinner and a movie with my husband (he's not coming to the beach..... so we won't see him for a whole week!! ) Came home threw in laundry and am getting me packed this time.... Whew...that was a mouthful.

Oh....and speaking of mouthfuls.....I ate eggs, bacon and whole wheat toast for breakfast. Had some trail mix at mid day to save up calories for dinner out. Went to Mexican, but counted every calorie and stayed within my daily allowance. No time to work out tonight, but I will work in a double tomorrow and you can hold me to that!!! :O) I've already packed my work out clothes and laptop to log my calories. Hope you all had good Saturdays. Talk to you tomorrow.

THE WEIGHT LOSS PLAN

Here is the plan if you would like to follow along:
1. figure out how many calories a day you should be consuming
in order to lose weight. (7 calories x your current weight)
This is the net amount per day you should be eating.
Net amount = calories eaten minus calories burned
through excercise.

Example: 2200 calories eaten minus 450 calories burned on
treadmill= 1750 net calories.

2. Try to eliminate or drastically reduce the "white foods" you
eat. White bread, rice, pasta, flour, sugar or anything made
with these ingrediants.

3. Work out 1 hour a day, 7 days a week. No excuses.
(This does NOT have to be done all at one time.)

4. Keep Track of your calorie intake and your exercise and
weigh in only once a week.

That's it. It's just that simple and just that hard all at the same time!! Good luck to us all.

Also- if you would like a template of the Excel spreadsheet calorie and food log that I use, Just send me an email at WeighLessLiveMore@yahoo.com and I will be happy to send that to you.

Coupon Kitchen

A Tasty treat made with this weeks coupon finds:

This week I had a dollar off of Duncan Hines Cake Mix. Last week I had a dollar off of Cool Whip. I bought both.

The cake was on sales for 1.66, so I paid .66
The Cool Whip was on sale for 1.25, so I paid .25

I purchased the Duncan Hines Spice cake mix (It had fewer calories) and instead of making a cake, I made cupcakes. The box said it made 12 servings (based on the cake) at 270 calories per serving, so I did the math. 270 x the 12 servings per box = 3240 for the whole cake. I made 24 cupcakes. 3240 /24= 135 calories per cupcake.

When we're ready to have one I "ice" the top with the cool whip for a cool 10 extra calories. I get a great tasting cupcake treat for only 145 calories! I think kids would love these and not really miss the heavier icing version. :O)
