End of Day One

I made it. 1100 calories, 30 minutes on the bike and an arm workout. I should have drunk more water, but I'll do better tomorrow. I think that planning is going to be the key for me. It was easy to stay on track because I logged my food on Fitday the day before and just followed the menu. Not only did I plan it the day before, but I dished it out and had it ready to go. I can think of at least 6 times today when I thought about grabbing a piece of candy, but I held out. I made a thick protein gelato with diet cranberry juice, frozen fruit and a dollop of sugar free cool whip at the end of the day and that took care of my sweet tooth. I love diet cranberry juice. 5 calories in 8 ounces, but I always mix it with three times as much water so I doubt that I get 10 calories in for the whole day. So how did you guys do? Hugs, Connie

My Day started out really great, then went to my crazy shift at work. Had a really bad night. Customer Service Job in a bakery no less & lost it big time with some customers. WAs by myself & got slammed & everybody wanted something right now & just kind of lost it, which I usually do not do. I think a lot of it comes from the cold medicine that I have been taking this past few days & it just did not handle the stress very well at all. Then because I lost it I also started to cry & then that pissed me off even more.LOngest 5 hour shift I have worked in a long time. So when I got home just now I am drinking a bottle of water, but have had 2 slices of balogna & a slice of bread w/ PB on it just from stress, not because I am hungry. Got to figure out a way to stay away from the stupid food when I get stressed out over stupid stuff. Not even a full Moon, it was 70 degress here today & I could be living in the east somewhere freezing. Suppose to rain tomorrow & cool off big time. in San Diego, and still trying to find away to get back to AZ in the next couple of months, where I think Kingman was only in the 40's. This wasn't suppose to be so long winded, sorry. Just that kind of day!! Tomorrow will be better, I am sure!! Thanks for Listening, if you still are!! Ladybug Marilyn

Weigh-in this morning - 149, that's a drop of 4.5 lbs. since yesterday. Was probably retaining a lot of water, but I refrained from eating any junk, which I've been noshing on (grazing) all day for the past two months. My head feels clearer today, I am more resolved than I've felt in some time. I want my body back - the little one that I had for about 5 minutes. I want strength. I want health. I want never to see 150 again. Thanks for sounding the battle cry, Connie. Where would we be without you??? Reenie

Pam C. Checking in! did good yesterday. concidering that it was a crazy busy day, visited tons of customers sold stuff boss happy. Went to meeting/dinner with a very good friend i'd not seen since she connected with her new boyfreind. Was a great girls night. then came home and talked way too late at night on the phone with my new potential guy. during all of that I ate correctly! drank tons of water! didn't eat any cookies! I was tempted when I was talking to new guy to snack while we laughed like crazy but kept away. the scale budged but i'm just thinking that it was water. the true test will be over the next couple of days.
