I am NORMAL!!!! Yesterday, when I went on the wii my weight was in the normal BMI range!! 24.91! YAY!!
To give you perspecitive. Christmas 2009 when we got the wii, my BMI was at the very bottom of obese (30.15, the line is at 30) then I was in the top part of overweight for a while. (Came down a bit playing the games).
In January, when I started the Losing It With Leanne Challenge... Say you divide the overweight range into thirds, I was on the line for the top third (one third down from obese, two thirds up from normal). I attribute a lot of that to what I've learned about healthy foods from Saving Dinner. Losing It with Leanne brought me WAY down, to near the bottom of the overweight range and I hit Normal yesterday! :) I went up a bit today (0.2kg) but I'm still normal.
And the best part is, knowing what I've learned (about healthy food from Saving Dinner in general and about portion sizes and that I won't be hungry eating normal portions that I learned while doing Losing It With Leanne), I know I'm not going to go back up.
I'm not really trying to lose much more. Now I've bought a subscription to Missus Smarty Pants and am gonna dress this body nice! :)
So anyway, thank you for joining me, and I hope I can help you! It really is fun to be a Homemaking Diva!!

Losing It With Leanne Challenge Day 35 - Having FUN!!
February 15, 2011
Hey everyone!
I am having so much fun Losing It With Leanne! Week 3 is fabulous! Seriously, the LWL fiber bars are half a step down from cake, so yummy and healthy for you! I know it's winter, but I figured out a way around the cold smoothie..... make it early! Food can sit out for up to 2 hours before you have to worry about bacteria growth, so I can just make my breakfast smoothie while I'm having my pre-breakfast Kashi and have the smoothie later! Also, when I'm having part of the smoothie as a snack, I've been pouring the smoothie into 3 small glasses, having one, and sticking two in the fridge with a bit of plastic wrap over the top. Then I have some ready for next time; it separates a bit, but I just stir it up and I'm good to go.
I made the Buffalo chicken and the Mexican chicken from last week's Menu-Mailer and I'm going to make a variation of the Pork Marsala (I have pork broth that I made, so I'm going to sub that for the wine and have 'Pork Valsala' lol!) and the French Pepper Steak this week.
DH took me out for Valentines tonight (he had to work last night) I got all dolled up and I wore my red dress that I've never worn before. I've had it for a few years, and it was such a good deal (I think it was a $50 dress for $15) but it's a little spandexy and it shows off the belly, so I couldn't wear it for a long time. At the time I bought it I thought I'd work to get into it, so I picked it up.... good thing I don't do that often. But it was SOOOO nice to be able to wear it and feel pretty in it. :D I had the Angus Beef Skewar stir-fry. It was veggies and meat and white rice. I asked for no rice and double veggies. And it was a very good choice. There was a sauce on the veggies, but not a ton, so I wasn't worried about what was in it, it was delicious and the meat was a good portion size this time. (Last time I went out I ordered the meatloaf and it was 3 meal's worth....) Again, I was able to eat out, not think too hard, and not feel deprived.
I've been using my pedometer. I still have a ways to go depending on what I'm doing that day I've been doing 4300-8000 steps. My goal is to get up to 10 000 steps a day. My next trick is going to be to turn standing tasks into walking on the spot tasks. I tried bopping around (to music) and sidestepping while washing dishes, that works pretty well.
I've been on the wii most days. On even days I've been doing the my routine and the wii routines focusing on my core muscles, but doing a little bit with all my muscles. On odd days I've been warming up with the wii legs and hips routine and then bursting 30 seconds hard running, 1 minutes jogging or walking back and forth on the 10 minute free run and then a cool down with various stuff. Once I get going, I might use the 20 minute free run and do the on-and-off bursting for about 15 minutes and include the cool down in the last 5 minutes. The nice thing about the free run game is that you can change the channel and watch something.
I think I'm almost done my Challenge. But I'm going to continue with what I have learned. My next post will be my final weigh in for the challenge. I'm doing great and loving it! Thank you, Leanne!
So anyway, thank you for joining me, and I hope I can help you! It really is fun to be a Homemaking Diva!!

Losing It With Leanne Challenge Day 28 - I did it!! Weigh in
February 8, 2011
Hello all! Great news! I DID it! I not only met, my weight loss goal for the Losing It With Leanne challenge, I PASSED my goal!!! Go me!
My goal was to lose 3 kg (6.6 pounds) in 4 weeks and I've lost 3.55kg (7.81 pounds)!! YAY! :D I also did the full measuring so: I lost about 1 inch in my bust/chest measurements - which is probably more from the back and sides... I lost 7/8 of an inch on my waist, 1 inch on my thighs, 5/8 of an inch on my neck, and 1/2 inch on my upper arm. My BMI is down from the original 27.18 to 25.94 (difference of 1.24).
I never went totally 'off plan' but I wasn't exactly on plan for the whole 4 weeks either. I mostly stuck to the rules of week 1 with week 1 and 2's soup and I did SOME more soup with week 2, but not as much as I was supposed to (I was rationing it a bit because I didn't have any more lentils and I thought I would run out... should have just ran to the store).
I did well when I ate out, I made the best choices I could. When I went to my sister's I packed the whole LWL lunch and just heated up my soup there. (She would have made me tuna, but I didn't think ahead enough to ask if she had some...) When I went to a potluck dinner party I made sure what I brought was fairly 'safe' for me to have and I told myself that I could have a little bit of whatever, but just a little. I had ONE cube of pumpernickel with a reasonable amount of spinach dip on it for example, instead of several pieces of pumpernickel with as much dip as I could scoop up :D
I'm not quite done yet. I'm going to continue with week 3 and then back down slightly into more 'sustaining' weight than 'losing weight'. I talked about that last time.
I bought a pedometer, I think it will be good for me. My job is at the computer so I sit a LOT and even with getting on the wii most days, I still need to be moving more overall to make up for all my 'stationary time'. Tomorrow I'm going to wear it all day and see where I'm at, and then I'm going to make an effort to increase my steps to work my way up to averaging 10 000 steps a day. I've been fiddling with it tonight and it's pretty fun. It measures distance, steps, and calories burned, plus it has a clock AND it flips up so I can look at it without bending over funny or taking it off, and when you flip it up, the display flips over, so it's right-side up for the way you're looking at it. Not bad for $20.00 :D
So anyway, thank you for joining me, and I hope I can help you! It really is fun to be a Homemaking Diva!!

Losing It With Leanne Challenge Day 27 - Pants
Have I mentioned I'm loving Losing It With Leanne? Because I really am. I'm doing well, I'm only hungry when I get too 'busy' to eat on time, and I'm learning so much!
Before I started this plan I was eating way too much. Most suppers I was having 1.5-2.5 servings! But now, I have learned so much about portion sizes and, most importantly, I have learned that I will not go hungry eating 'properly portioned' meals! That was an underlying fear in the back of my mind.
The best thing about Losing it With Leanne is that it teaches you a great way to eat AND cook for yourself with real food. This is a sustainable way to live! I think when I'm done, I'll probably go back to three meals a day with the random snack, and breakfast and lunch will be a LITTLE bigger, but not that much. I'll probably keep Kashi on hand for a guilt-free snack when I get hungry between meals. And I'll be cooking Saving Dinner recipes at least 80% of the time. I'm going to KEEP what I learned about portions and run with it!
So after all this, I bet you're wondering where the pants title came from - I'm getting there! :D The last time I bought pants was mid-July?? And I bought size 15 the time before was size 16 well, this week I broke out a pair of TWELVES my sister gave me, and I don't feel intimidated at all by the pair of elevens my friend has offered me :D
Had a dinner party with friends on Friday and I did pretty well. I did my best to bring safe foods for me. Not 'on-plan' but I definitely ate way less than I would have had before. I'm starting to switch my mentality from "look at what I can't have" to: "I can't believe people eat all this!" (That's mostly for amount of food, mind you.)
Thank you, Leanne! You teach me so much!

Losing It With Leanne Challenge Day 21 - Weigh in, Good Progress
February 1, 2011
I'm really having fun doing the Losing It With Leanne program! The food is great and varied, I'm not hungry, I'm getting good nutrients in, I'm moving, and I'm losing weight! But not just losing weight, I'm getting healthier and making good choices.
I've been getting busier and busier all the time, so I haven't posted much, and honestly, I have missed a few workouts, but! I'm not giving up and I'm doing well!
I got on the wii and I am making progress. My BMI is down to 26.43 (from original 27.18) and my weight is down 2.1kg total (4.62 pounds). I'm three weeks in and I'm approaching my goal of losing 3 kg (6.6 pounds) very well.
On the wii today, I set up the 'my routine' to use the yoga and strength training exercises that I do the most. I think there are 7 moves and it's about 11 minutes. This is going to be my warm up, and then I'll go on to other things. This week I'm going to try to do some of JJ Virgin's "bursting" a few times. We'll see how that goes :D
So anyway, thank you for joining me, and I hope I can help you! It really is fun to be a Homemaking Diva!!

Losing It With Leanne Challenge Day 1
Jan 12, 2011
Losing It With Leanne Challenge Day 1 :D
First of all, I'm sorry I haven't posted in a while... I got a job at Saving Dinner of all places (after I was fawning all over them here) and I got busy, and distracted... Typical SHE ;)
So I'm back, and Saving Dinner is doing a Losing It With Leanne challenge right now! In fact, the whole staff is doing the challenge right along with everyone else!
So anyways. I ordered my protein powder a week ago, and it's not here yet, but I'm done waiting! (I'm in Canada, and I ordered from the States to get the specific one that Leanne recommended, so it's nobody's fault it's not here yet.)
Today, I sat down with my grocery list, Losing It With Leanne volume 1 (well, I have the whole thing printed off in my binder, but I'm starting at the beginning), and my Saving Dinner recipes that I already had printed out. I flipped through the Body Clutter menus that I had and picked dishes based on what sounded good and what meat I either had or was on sale. (That's how I usually shop, except I'm not always in the BC recipes.) I picked 6 recipes that look SOOO yummy even though they're good for me ;) and noted what I needed to get to make them (mostly produce, you'd be amazed at how little time I needed to spend in the middle of the store).
Sirloin tip roasts were on sale this week for half price, so I bought 3! You'll love this trick: they were on for $2.00 a pound and I had 2 beef recipes, one called for 2 pounds and the other for 3/4 pounds... So I looked for a roast that was as close to $5.75 as I could find :D Actually, I ended up buying three roasts and froze 2!
After I did my mains, I went through the rest of the daily eating plan and picked my options. There are 7 breakfast options in the LWL plan and 6 lunches, and I didn't want to buy for ALL of them at once, so I picked - again, based on what I had and what's good. Now I have most of the stuff for the breakfasts and stuff for 4 lunch options plus the soup! And I added some stuff to the list for my DH, he's not officially going on the plan with me, but I'm not cooking separate dinners for us. I jut told him that the recipes look good in and of themselves and he's fine with that. But I did get him 'regular' cereal and Black Forest ham for sandwiches, because he likes that.
That's the great part about the Losing It With Leanne plan, it's not all that different from regular eating, we just really need to make the healthier choices (low fat, not full fat dairy products, lots of veggies, less carbs (not no carbs, less carbs), and watch our portion sizes. It's more regimented for the people on the plan, but it's not the type of plan that turns you into a short order cook because your family "won't" eat it.
When my grocery list was done it was almost 50% produce, with a LOT of stuff around the outside of the store, and I only had to go down 4 centre aisles and that was for: Picante sauce, Kashi (and regular cereal for DH), bay leafs, tuna, white beans, and diced tomatoes. In my opinion, that's a pretty good list! And the best part was, I got to the cereal aisle and Kashi was ON SALE!! I love it when I'm going to buy something anyways and it's on sale! :D I really didn't spend any more than usual, especially considering how much nutrition was in my cart, plus I was buying 3 roasts instead of just the one I needed. So it cost about the same as normal with a little extra for all the meat, but that is normal :D
OK, so that's groceries... Got home, put everything away, had my 'mid-afternoon snack' of Kashi and then did all my measurements, then went downstairs and got on the wii fit to weigh myself. Today my BMI is 27.18 the wii wants me to aim for 22. It's a little high, but it has been slowly but surely coming down with me making good choices and learning by osmosis while working at Saving Dinner. I set my goal to lose 3 kg (6.6 pounds) in the 4 weeks of the main plan. I think that's doable. I've been slowly losing weight already, but now I'm going to be putting an effort into it!
I even did my circuit on the wii and burned a glass of coke and then some! (I have a list of about 8 of the activities that I 'always' do.) And I even hit a new high score in boxing, guess I'm not that rusty after all. I'm gonna plan to stay active through the duration of the Challenge, no easy task in the winter when you work from the computer ;) But I ran through my circuit today in 28 minutes, and I repeated some activities, so I should be OK. Plus, I'm committing to all of you and putting this our in cyberspace so I will be held accountable!
Dinner tonight from a past Body Clutter Menu-Mailer was Autumn Apple Chicken with acorn squash. What an easy and yummy recipe! I asked DH and he's all for us having it again someday (although apparently he's not a squash fan).
Hope to see you here more often as well as on the Losing It With Leanne facebook page!

Dinner tonight from a past Body Clutter Menu-Mailer was Autumn Apple Chicken with acorn squash. What an easy and yummy recipe! I asked DH and he's all for us having it again someday (although apparently he's not a squash fan).
Hope to see you here more often as well as on the Losing It With Leanne facebook page!
