On Track Team

Well its hump day so how are we doing so far this week.. I have gone 3 days without those darn pretzels.. last night I almost broke down and got some.. I was brave and tied myself to the chair so I couldnt go get them. lol.. Vitamins- done Water- will get it in Food B- protein drink- 250 B- small banana-70 L- not sure yet going to lunch with the boss and coworkers.. dont want to but its one of their birthdays.. they are not nice to me when I go with them. D- chicken 3 oz 200 cals S- cheese - 100 Exercise- cardio and my trainer today so I will be tired when I get done Goal- to not blow a cork at my rude coworkers today when they give me a hard time about how I eat.

Horribly bloated. I never understood women wanting/needing fat clothes (everything I owned was fat clothes lol) BUT OMG! I swear nothing fits this week....GGGRRR Vitamns - doing good Fluids - 30 in so far Food - not so good just have no appetite except for craving things i know i don't need B- 10 oz coffee L- Stouffers Panini S- probably an Atkins Crunch Bar D- depends I never did fix that chicken casserole last week so maybe I'll do that tonght with some green beans Exercise - big grad school assignment due to so I'll be going home immediately afterwork to fini**** Goal - smile Mandy

Feeling good...although I can barely raise my arms from my workouts! Vitamins: Done Water: Workiing on it...20 oz so far (that's good for me!) Food: B: Coffee w/sugar free creamer S: None L: Taco Pie S: maybe roasted Edamame - that's all I have at work. D: Hamburgers - 1 am gonna try 1/2 of a patty with the veggies. LNS: try for a piece of fruit Exercise: Not today...day off. Did I mention that I cant raise my arms.

OK, so I had a really, really bad girl episode last night! My husband had a Blizzard from Dairy Queen and I took about 5 or 6 bites of it. Oh my go**** tasted sooooo good! Well, then I got the worst stomach ache ever! I was in so much pain! I was trying to watch American Idol and I suffered through it with a horrible stomach ache! Ugh! NO MORE ICECREAM FOR ME!!! I'm even miserable this morning ... I feel icky! Yuck! Vitamins and water: no problems Food: B--Danon Light & Fit yogurt with a spoon of granola sprinkled on top L--1/2 whole wheat pita with ham and cheese and a squirt of ranch dressing (then I toast the whole thing in the toaster oven and it's heavenly!) S--3/4 cup Special K Protein Plus cereal with skim milk D--meatloaf made with ground turkey, green beans Exercise: No gym today ... I managed to mildly hurt my knee while running yesterday and today it feels like it's "popping" and slightly sore, like I've overextended it or something. So I'm taking the day off from exercising to rest it. Plus, I have my monthly Support Group meeting tonight so I'll go instead of exercising. Goal: I already went grocery shopping and I didn't buy any junk! Hurray! So now I'm trying to stay away from junk today and let my tummy feel better. The weird thing is that the ice cream made me feel like crap last night. But if it were to be right under my nose again today, I'd probably take a bite. Why am I soooooo freaking stupid??? Ugh! No bad food today ... Deanna

OK I am gonna post b/c I really want to join the On Track Team. Vitamins- haven't taken even one yet Water- not much maybe 30oz so far Food B- 2 cups of coffee and an oatmeal raisin cookie L- 2oz of chicken, little bit of baked beans and few bites of mac/chees D- no clue--- probably a protein bar b/c I am going to a WLS support group tonight after work and I will just go there from work. Snacks- I am sure I will snack when I get home- but hopefully I will have more will power after the WLS SG Lots of gum. It helps me not want to graze. Exercise Went to the gym this morning Eliptical-20min, Treadmill-20min, Bike 20min and few strength training machines Goal- just to reach my regular goal number of water/protein- feel like it is a struggle. Kristen

Hi Kristen! GREAT JOB at the gym today! That is a really good work out ... you should be proud of yourself! I just bought a pack of gum and I'm going to see if it keeps me from grazing! Deanna

well worked out at home a little bit B= some micellar milk(protein shake) with coffee L= 1/2 chicken Cheese torte a with protein chips D=green chili stew w/o the potatoes but with beans and chicken and carrots/spinach S=artichoke (leftover from last night stuffed with garlic and olives)

Let me give you what i call the Andi hint: when the co-workers comment on your food intake you simply hold up your hand and say to them in your calmest voice "what makes you think it's ok for you to comment on what i'm eating?" it makes them own up to their bad behavior, people hate that! B: 3 sushi rolls with no rice, just the fish and the seaweed, couldn't be more then a 1/2 oz of protein s1: 6 pretzel nuggets and a cup of decaf coffee with milk and splenda (tiny 6oz cup) s2: carrots and cucumbers with fat free dill dip and another cup of decaf coffee with milk and splenda (tiny 6oz cup) L: one twizzler and 8 pretzel nuggets with about 2 ounces of sugar free lemonade d: 3 tablespoons of acorn squash, (9) sushi rolls, again just the fish and the black seaweed so maybe that's 2 ounces of protein and 10 sugar free jelly beans i'm tryiing to drink an iced tea (decaf) so that i have some water in me, I need to suck down my vitamins but i'll get them down tonight. today was a bad eating/grazing day. I'm just too busy at work and my mother in law is on the 4th floor writhing in pain from cancerous lesions and BOY is she in a horrid mood so her nurses call me to calm her down uhhh HELLO i'm the daughter in law do you think she likes me? Stress can kill ya! Tomorrow i vow to eat better and try to get in some proteins, i may suck down a protein shake at the end of tonight just to say i had some protein...OY please help me or save me. I did do a full hour of belly dancing last night and i'll be doing another on Friday, man oh man do i love dancing Hugs, ANDI

OMG.. u are so funny.. i should do that with these idiot co workers I have.. grr.. they really get on my nerve with their medialing in my food... I'm sorry to hear about your mother in law. I would think she wouldnt be to happy with cancerous lesions. Are you saying you arent her favorite daughter in law.. how could that be.. you are so wonderful and sweet.. ouch on the belly dancing.. i dont think those muscles know how to move yet.. lol... sounds like u got a pretzel addiction as well.. grr.. dont u hate it.. yeah.. some protein might be a good thing... sushi.. yuck.. not going down this pie whole.. take care of yourself.. take a deep breath and know we all care...

nahhh the pretzel aren't an addiction they were just what was handy because i was really hungry and just didn't have time to go get a meal. I'm solving that today by bringing my own food with me to work, that oughta do it! As with the co-workers try it one time, the hand as mirror for reflection comment and see if it works, if it doesn't come back to me and we'll try something else together. The hand as mirror usually works well. hugs, ANDI
