Back to Basics - June 6, 2007

Good morning! Okay...this B2B stuff bites the big one. It truly does. But it has its benefits. Last weekend I ate like a pre-op. I mean...I pigged out. As a result, I gained weight (naturally). I was up to 171 ! That was the weight I stared the B2B at just three days ago. This morning I stepped on the scale and....166.6! Is that unreal or WHAT? I am shocked, to say the least...but, by God, at least my suffering is paying off!! Here is today's menu Breakfast: 3 oz. chicken Snack: New-Whey Protein Vial Lunch: 3 oz. chicken Snack: New-Why Protein Vial Dinner: This will be my challenge for the day. I am going out to eat with my sister but I SOO do not want to cheat. We will, most likely, end up at Outback. I am assuming their tiny lobster tails are about 3 oz. each (I will get two) so I am figuring about 6 oz of lobster...we'll see. My totals will be approximately... Calories/Fat/Carbs/Protein 711 /17 / 2 / 131 Water: None so far but I will definitely drink at least 50 oz (of water) and God knows how much Diet Coke! Vitamins: Check! Exercise: Again, no. And I won't be doing any again today, either. I have work and then I am going out. Hope everyone is doing GREAT! Love and hugs, Jersey Mom

Congrats Jersey Mom, keep up the good work.

I AM A DAY BEHIND...TUESDAY I HAD: 2 SF/ LATTE'S a few bites of chicken and 1/2 of cottage cheese for lunch 1/4 almonds 2 cheese sticks 1/4 cup cottage cheese & some chicken I know I shouldn't have the Latte's,however I am still proud of myself for staying away from the crunchy carbs.......... HAVE A GREAT WEDNESDAY TORI

I lost two pounds since Monday!!! Today was difficult for me. I have a difficult time at work because there is so much food and I have to feed the kids. Breakfast: Atkins Bar and fat free milk Snack: Chicken Jerky and Cheese Lunch: Chicken salad Snack: Turkey and cheese Dinner: Chicken salad/ cheese and lettuce also had a 2 dill pickles I just had a little ice cream that was sugar free but still not a great choice Decaf coffee with skim milk and splenda latte with skim milk and splenda Vitamins: Half done..i forgot to bring them to work Water: Getting there Im hoping to not put anything else in my mouth tonight besides water.

That's great! You're doing a wonderful job! We'll see what my scale says at the end of the month! April
