On Track Team

hey all.. so I went to step class and there was a new lady doing it.. wow she kicked my butt..lol.. but it was a great workout.. So lets stay on track today.. ready vitamins- done water- working on it. Food B- Protein drink-250 cals- 35 pro S- oatmeal - 125 cals- 2 pro L- chicken- 150 cals- 23 pro D- meat, veggie- 250 cals- 25 pro S- pretzels- 100 cals- 2 pro calories 875 protein 87 Exercise- step class and spin class tonight.. Goal- to not sweat the small stuff.

Still fighting that dang food demon. I broke down and bought a pack of Reese's Cups as I was checking out of WalMart yesterday on my way to the gym.Then I got so tired I went home (bypassed the gym) and laid down on the sofa. It is soooo wrong to put that stuff there (lol). Great marketing skills though!!!! Today's Forecast B- 7:45- had 10oz decaf coffee w/ splenda and 1/2 atkins protein bar (9g) L- 10:25 - Stouffer's Panini Turkey Bacon Club (24g) Noth the greatest choice with 360 calories but it does have 24g of protein and it keeps me full for a long time. S - 2:00- planning to have the other 1/2 of my protein bar (10g) (this snack probably won't happen until later b/c the lunch will keep me sooo full) 3:00 - 4:00 county textbook meeting 4:00-5:00 gym D-6:00ish crab stew (15g) S-9:00ish probably some cheese or almonds (7g) This should (from my calculations and fit days) put me right between 900 and 1000 calories today with 65g of protein. Goal- Stick to this plan!! I hope everyone has a great on plan day. Mandy

Hi Mandy! I can relate to your battles with the food demon ... yesterday I ate a Snickers Easter Egg. Ugh! The awful part is that it didn't even taste all that great to me. But then I found myself wanting more candy! I hate that vicious cycle!!! Deanna

Vitamins and water: working on it Food: B--I was going to eat a string cheese but it was all hard and gross so I ate 1/2 a slice of whole wheat toast with peanut butter instead S--Danon Light & Fit yogurt L--1/2 whole wheat pita (ham, cheese, light ranch), 1/2 apple S--protein bar D--lasagna made with whole wheat noodles and ground turkey, salad S--south beach cookies Exercise: Strength training (30 minutes), run for 2 miles, walk for 1 mile. Goal: I've been really "down in the dumps" lately because it just seems like I eat so much more than everyone else. I know my requirements are totally different and I'm eating according to my dietician's plan and staying well below the calorie range she gave me. So I know I'm okay. I just feel like I can't relate to what everyone else eats! Although, it doesn't really matter ... I need to do what is right for me! So, my goal is to quit obsessing over comparing myself to others! Deanna

What.. you have great meal plans and it shows cause you are doing so well and right on track with loosing.. you dont change a thing.. I look up to you each day to see what you are eating and see how well you are doing.. I've even tried a few of the things you put on here.. so dont you dare think you're not doing good.. You know we love u..

Oh Carla, you are so sweet! I don't know why I'm in this funky mood lately. For some reason I just feel like I eat like a cow compared to everyone else! I've been completely obsessed with my calories and keeping them to 1300 calories or less. But I burn a ton of calories every day at the gym so I know I'm okay. My husband is freaking out on me because he thinks I'm "too" obsessed with my calories. I don't know why, but I look at everyones' lists of what they eat and I wonder why I can't eat that little! I know I'm not eating a lot but I feel like I am! I need to just quit worrying about it, I guess!!! Thanks for being such a sweetie! Deanna

Deanna you are doing great, and what you need to remember is that you exercise so much more than most of us so therefore burn up more calories. I can't eat as much, as I don't do nearly as much exercise as you - I wish I did as I think I probably eat too much for my activity level.

FOOD B: protein shake L: lean cusine S: diet coke & cheese D: chicken and veggies S: sf pudding cup water:workin on it exercise: 30 mins or moore on treadmill ,do arm weights today. pampering: going tanning on my lunch hr GOAL: TO GO ONLINE AND BUY THAT BIKINI I WANT!
