The number on the scale
Made me feel pained.
I've exercised, but not enough
And I've eaten some fattening stuff.
This week I promise to recommit
You can join me, we can get fit!
Post your results for the world to see
Then find out tomorrow if you were lucky.
And, since it's hard to not eat trash,
Here's a favorite recipe from my stash.
Mango Salsa
- 1 mango - peeled, seeded and diced
- 1 avocado - peeled, pitted, and diced
- 4 medium tomatoes, diced
- 1 jalapeno pepper, seeded and minced
- 1/2 cup chopped fresh cilantro
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 2 tablespoons fresh lime juice
- 1/4 cup chopped red onion
- 1 can black beans
Mix it all together and let the flavors mix for 30 minutes before serving...... although we can never wait! Serve it over grilled chicken or salmon.

That sounds delish!! I'm saving that one!
down a pound.... hurt my hip doing yoga so have been rather dormant the last few days. Hope it starts feeling better soon. I actually want to exercise- I never thought I'd see the day.
I am down 9 pounds since last week, but spent one day walking all around the state fair, and not eating a lot. Just couldn't decide which wonderful fair food to splurge on. then when I came home I had to have a colonoscopy. so 2 days of not eating, just drinking clear fluids, and of course the wonderful stuff that they gave me to clean me out. Yuck, not sure I wanted to loose anything this way.
It was a bad week for me...no loss, but no gain either. We'll see if it catches up to me next week or if I can get the ball rolling the other direction. The recipe sounds yummy....will be trying that this week. :)
I lost 3 pounds this week. Hopefully i will be more comitted next week so I do more exercising. I know the puppy would love it if I walked her every day as well as play ball.
That recipe sounds delicious and healthy. Can't beat that!
I've lost 5 pounds in the last week, but I just started. I think next week will be less.
im nothing lost nothing gained, so thats a good thing...i think {sigh}
I am down half a pound. Better than nothing I suppose! your "weigh in Wednesdays" are helping to keep me on track! thanks!
I'm a total blonde!!! lol It never dawned on me what you ladies were doing. duh. I just started walking a couple of days ago. I have trouble with my asthma but aim to lose this weight. Congrats ladies on the lbs lost and not lost. At least there is no weight gain. I think. ;o) None lost here yet.
I really kicked it into gear this past week and am done 8 lbs of butter. So a total of 9 for the 2 weeks! Thanks for the motivation! Now only 41 more to go :)
Ugh!! I'm only down a half pound this week! Gotta do some adjusting to the eating plan!!
One week down, One pound lost - I'll take it! Whatever will make my jeans fit better come Fall, I'll take it :-)
down a pound, but i've been sick and not able to work out, so i'm just on the NOT EATING MUCH diet. :(
thanks for doing this!
Of yeah- and CC is my FAVORITE paper line. i *heart* CC!!!
I must admit I tried and failed this week. The chocolate was just too tempting. :(
I've lost another 2 pounds. Well see what next week holds. Hang in there Julie!! Thanks for the great recipe. Sounds yummy!
nothing for me either, hoping next week is a better one
OH YUM on this recipe! That would be fantastic over grilled chicken!
I have lost two pounds!! My exercise is a little off, but once my girls get back to school, I will be walking EVERY morning . . . no excuses!
Love the poem!
One pound down. Not much but better than one gained.
No change here - 3 family birthdays in one week - fun but bad for the diet. Back to eating right and walking more. Salsa recipe sounds delish.
The teachers at my school are conducting a biggest loser contest - my goal is to lose 25 pounds by Thanksgiving. I've lost a pound this week - I'm walking 45 minutes for 3 days a week. It's definitely tough!
Twelve glasses of water
each and every DAY
have helped me to "flush"
2 more butters AWAY!!
Now I have to go get the ingredients for that nummy sounding salsa - I think I'll have mine with cucumber "chips"
Its getting a little easier and another kilo away....gunna get to walking this week too
Is is feed a fever or feed a cold? Either way, I've been down and out with a coughing/hacking/no sleep kind of ick and didn't have the energy to even get on the scale!
I tried this week but I did not succeed! Maybe better next week. I walk and walk & I think my body has gotten to used to the walking and I need to try something else.
don't feel bad...didn't lose anything this past week either. I did good some days, then not so good on others.
This past week = -.2 for total of -16.2 ... heading in the right direction, anyway!
Thinking of posting weigh-in Wednesday cards on my blog ...
If you make a double batch, you can eat some now AND have some later!! :)
I haven't weighed, but I have had to pull my belt in another notch. THAT was a WONDERFUL feeling.
This recipe sounds awesome. Thanks for sharing.
I lost three pounds this week. I have really resisted the urge to splurge. (chocolate, Baby!!)Next week I want to do more excercising!
Thanks for the recipe...I will file it away to use at a later date!
Keep it up! You will have off weeks - especially during all of these summer festivitites! Thanks for sharing that awesome lookign recipe! See you next week a few pounds slimmer!
Well, I guess this is a reverse post...
Im 5 months pregnant, and I lost qiute a lot of weight in the beginning of my pregnacy - wich lead my doctor to make me a threat!...
Start gaining wheight - or we have to hospitalize you!
When I was at the doctors the other day, she said that my weigthgain was perfekt, and that both me and the little one inside was in perfekt condition!
Im SO happy to have regained thouse pounds, + some ekstras just for the babys sake :-)
Sounds super yummy!
I'm down 2 pounds this week. Yeah!
Ugh - my scale defiantly won't move off the 160 point! Nothing lost, nothing gained. Sigh.
That sounds really good...will try!
I am down 2 lbs....are you drinking LOTS of water? You need to drink LOTS- it will help keep you full.
thanks for the recipe!
Good luck Julie- you can do it!!!!
Holding steady (nothing about me is firm at the moment). My parents were from Barbados and I grew up with mango and avocado trees in the back yard. How I miss them!
Aaah.. I'm so ashamed to post... :( I am up 2pounds.. gah.. I've been doing a lot of emotional eating this week. Stress makes me reach for cookies... :p
I'm working off the baby fat...not sure if I lost any but I fit into a pair of pre-pregnancy jeans! That made my week! Now if I could only get them to be a little less snug. :)
A terrible week, though I had my 50th birthday on the weekend, so it was celebration time...up 2 lbs!!
Love the poetry and the recipe!
didn't budge either, but my legs hurt from squats..that's good
More butter on my plate ;) Keep it up Julie, you're on your way. We all have those weeks, but tomorrow is a new day.
I am with you :( I didn't do well this week and gained 3.5 pounds! Maybe it was mostly water since I was camping in the hot sun last weekend!
I'm hitting the "South Beach" tomorrow to get back on track. I need to stock up on groceries tonight but I'm recommitting!!
Holding steady here, but I'm going to start running with my son...soon.
Well, I didn't post in time to be eligible for the prize, but I lost another box of butter! Not as much exercising this week, but not nothing, either! :)
I am of from work two weeks...eat a lot bad stuff...gained about 3 pounds :( Working on loosing them this week!
