In Scotland it's called porridge and actually refers to any hot cereal. But normally it means oatmeal and the traditional way to eat it is with salt, but not my way. They are about the same, the difference is only in the size of the oats.

Annie, remember that little chat we had about misreading things, well I did it again, I had to do a double take, because I was like, why would you list Alpo isn't that a dog food, then I reread it. LOL
 

If anyone needs a calorie chart for cat food, I can point you to several on the net.

I wasn't good yesterday but will be today. Less than 1400 healthy calories today.

Did my lower body workout using ankle weights, step, mat, dumbbells - for abs, core, thighs, calves, glutes.

This is one of the exercises I do:

 
I too was bad. Not only did I eat a hearty breakfast and lunch, I was tripped up by that homemade Angel Food Cake. When I weigh in Saturday, it may be shameful.

Actually as far as cake goes, I think angel food is one of the lower calorie ones. Unless of course you ate the entire cake! :D
 
I don't do those deep lunges anymore Ameriscot, don't want to mess up my knees, so far they've been okay. Yesterday I had ribeye steak and cauliflower for dinner, today was shrimp salad sandwich on roll, bananas for breakfast both days and yogurt for dessert. Did an hour on the elliptical machine yesterday, nothing today in the way of exercise except morning walk in the park.
 
Doing well, SB! An hour on the elliptical!

I am very careful when doing lunges or squats that my knee does not go forward of my foot and use a mirror to make sure. So far no knee issues.
 
Menu plans are just under 1400 healthy calories.

Workout at gym:
30 mins spin bike
10 mins elliptical
4 x 12 on 4 resistance machines
4 x 12 rope/pulley for triceps

Workout at home (upper):
dumbbells - 4 sets of 12 - 11 routines

My favourite resistance machine at the gym: Lat pull down. Works your lats (sides of back), trapezius, biceps and triceps. As with the other machines I do 4 sets of 12 reps.

 
Well, back from PT, it went well today, got in a little more stretching but have to nix the traction, that was making my back feel worse. I did try to walk a few more blocks past my usual bus stop than normal, was going to aim for walking all the way to where the library from the PT office, but realized, that would have been pushing it a bit too much just yet, but, I will try to do it next time depending on how my legs and back are feeling.

I'm eating fine, I stopped the blood pressure med, my foot was swelling up from it I was having a bad reaction to all the way around, I'll have to talk with my doctor to come up with another plan. Usually, just changing to how I've been eating dramatically lowers my bp for the better, but, so much has been going on with the pain and the cortisone injections, I don't know what the culprit is this time around. I am going to try to get in more exercise though.

Just don't go overboard and hurt yourself. Well done on the eating. :)
 
You're smart April not to overdo. Kudos for controlling your blood pressure with diet, hope you can stay off the meds. Good that you're going to get in some more exercise too. :coolthumb:

Had some stuff to do today, so another day without exercise. Aussie Bite for breakfast, oven grilled salmon fillet and sauteed sliced yukon gold potatoes for dinner with a beer, yogurt for dessert.
 
No gym today. Home workout.

Lower body: ankle weights, step, mat, dumbbells - for abs, core, thighs, calves, glutes

Menu plan less than 1400 calories.

Scale has gone down but I won't update my ticker until Saturday. Going out tomorrow night for dinner and drinks for our 15th wedding anniversary. I will try not to overdo. No dessert.

Found a swimsuit where I can do away with the bikini top.

I had never heard the tern Aussie Bite so upon reading your question, I asked Mr Google. I would not attempt to answer a question fo SB, but I can say Google does seem to know all about Aussie a Bites.

I've been really lacking on the exercise this week, haven't weighed myself either, not feeling good about that. You do so good Annie even when you don't get to the gym, you exercise at home, I admire your ambition. Siily girl with the swimsuit funny, lol! :D Happy Anniversary to you and your hubby, hope you both enjoy a wonderful night out. :love_heart:

I had 460 calories for breakfast, 435 calories at lunch. I weighed this morning, 204.5 lbs. I Weighed tonight, 204.5 lbs. I don't quite understand that, but tonight for dinner both my roommate and I had a chocolate diet drink for a calorie count today of something like 1075 calories. I'm trying to cut a few Caroline's off breakfast and add them at lunchtime. And I'd like to have a few more calories for dinner or afternoon snack. I dislike going to bed hungary but I don't want to to overdo the evening meal.

my calorie count most days this week has been around 1400 - 1450 calories a day until today. Also I got my exercise in for the day; I went to the grocery store.

Thanks! I will really try not to order any of this guys yummy desserts. And I'll try to order potatoes instead of chips/fries. 2 pints of beer.

I can skip cardio and not feel too bad, but I've worked too hard on my muscles to let that go too long. During a normal week I do about 3 hours 45 minutes at the gym, and about the same at home with the muscle workouts. It's much easier to do the muscle work at home as my gym is small and you have to fight for floor space if you want it. Besides, I've got everything I need at home.
