Working out at work
At work depending on your surrounding you can: walk, sit on an excercise ball (engages your core), do calf raises, squats, keep dumbells by your side and do a complete workout right there while you work.
Junk food? In volve your children or loved ones. The more people around you that know your goals the more support you will get. My children are helping me.

Miracle Noodle - Review
So i got the noodles in on Monday and i gave them a try last night. They require about 10 min prep time. You have to rinse them pretty good in a strainer for a few minutes to get the liquid off of them that they are packaged with. The liquid has a salty fishy smell to it that isnt very appealing but once the noodles are washed there was no smell.
After rinsing the noodles they suggest you dry roast them in a non-stick pan. So i put them into a pan on high heat with no oil or anything and they never stuck to the pan. The directions say to roast them until they turn white (they are translucent at first). After about 5 min of roasting them they seemed ready, I didn't see anymore water coming off of them and they were white.
Now for the taste test...
They tasted like, well...Nothing. They really dont have any flavor to them at all. I added a very small amount of butter to them so they wouldnt stick together, although i dont think they would of anyways, and some Pico De Gallo for flavor. Then I had Alyna and the kids try them and the response was decent. JR(8 yrs old) said he didnt like them because they had no flavor. But i was expecting that since i didnt really season them. The other 2 kids didnt mind them either. And surprising to Alyna she didnt mind the flavor or texture either (she was very skeptical of them).
As for their texture, They arent slimy as i was reading in the reviews. That was probably because I dry roasted them to remove extra moisture. They have the feel of Rice noodles and they have a feeling of Al Dente Pasta. They kind of have the same feeling as eating bean sprouts, That kind of soft, crisp, crunch feeling.
Im not sure of their uses in cooking yet but they obviously would be good with Asian foods, probably soups. Im not sure if they would go well with Italian Pasta Sauce but i havent tried it just yet.
My only gripe is the cost. It was $42 for 20 7oz packages and there are supposedly 2 servings a pack. Well the 7oz pack seemed pretty small. I would need a couple packages for a full meal just for myself. At $2 per pack it seems kind of expensive for dinner purposes but they may be perfect for snacks and such as long as you are sensible with what ever you use to flavor them.
I give them a 7 out of 10, mainly for the cost per serving.

Junk Food Cravings...
I just threw out the left over ice cream from Raya's birthday party because it was talking to me...hopefully it doesn't come back from its grave to entice me. That would just be gross!
I stared at a TAKE 5 candybar for a few minutes...$300 made my decision of giving each piece to my kids...
Dieting is hard, choosing between health and cravings is even harder. Now I just wish those chips in the cubbord would stop calling my name!

1 week down
So we have finished a week of our diet! How is everyone feeling? I am feeling great! Sure I am still getting hungry but not as bad as it was the first couple of days. I am still excersizing a good amount and am feeling like I can do this!!! I am more excited about this diet than I have been about any diet I have ever done (and i've done a lot!).
For some reason this time it just feels like it is going to work for me and I am ready for it! Having my husband doing it with me is making it easier and the Calorie Count website is also making it easier. I am so excited to see how much I can lose by the end of this whole thing! I will definitely still be keeping the diet up even after this though!!! I want to be skinny for once in my life! I have been heavy since I was 9 years old, it's time to change! I want to thank Rachael for putting this whole thing together, I really think this is the begining of a life changing event for me! So here is to a great first week!!!

Noodle Alternative
http://www.miraclenoodle.com/
I love pasta and ive noticed since ive started watching my calories that noodles are alot of calories for small serving. SO i saw these and thought id give them a try.
* made of naturally water soluble fiber with no fat, sugar, or starch.
* contain zero net carbohydrates and zero calories, no gluten -made of a healthy natural fiber called Glucomannan.
* wheat & gluten free and kosher.
* Easily absorbs the flavors of any soup, dish, or sauce.
* are instant and come in a variety of styles
* have shown beneficial effects backed by medical studies for Type II Diabetes, Constipation, Obesity, and Cholesterol!
From the reviews i read they have no taste to them so you can make them taste like what ever you want!

Donut Addicts Rejoice!

These are donuts that have a fraction of the fat and calories of normal donuts and supposedly taste just as good. I havent tried them yet but they look very tempting! If any of you give these a try comment in here with a review!

The First Post
Hey Fellow Losers...
I am so excited to get this party started! I'm ready to start now...but afraid that those first few pounds I lose will handicap me for the competition....SO, I will enjoy this last week of food and laziness freedom and I will lounge by the pool all weekend eating my son's birthday cupcakes.
But next week, watch out! I plan to treat myself to a day at the spa with my winnings. Who wants to partner up with me and go to the spa at the end of August? :P
Seriously....good luck to everybody. This is going to be fun.
