Accountability time

In reading the other posts, I'm thinking that I and perhaps others need an extra push to stay accountable for our eating, fitness and water/vit goals. I know I have not been really good on the eating end but I have been keeping up with my walking, vits and water. How's everyone else doing?

Hi Karen. I have been doing ok with eating - not grazing or eating sweets and trying to stay on track. I have NOT been doing good with vitamins and water. I have only been getting in 48-55 oz of fluids a day and I have not been taking my vitamins. I started taking them agian this week. I am going to do the best I can to take them everyday and figure out how to get in more fluid. By the way, I recently started using fitday.com to track everything I eat and drink. Do you know a range that we should stay in for our Fat and Carbs? I asked my Nurse and he said that was not a concern as long as I am getting in protein but I want it to be a concern. How many grams should we not exceed for fat and carbs? Thanks! Misty

Actually, I'd like to know that also so if anyone has info from their dr or nutrionist, I'd be interested in a carb/fat range. If I'm eating 80-100 grams of protein, should I be eating about the same of carbs - less? - more? I haven't even thought about fat b/c lots of what I eat is lower in fat, but it would still be good to know. Please someone chime in! Way to go, Misty, on keeping your eating in check!

I have been doing much better since the weather has started warming up! I am walking every lunch time @ work. Today we walked over a mile. I am great @ taking my vits. The reason why, you might ask? I get TERRIBLE leg cramps otherwise. I have been having 1 protein shake a night. The water isn't so great. I have started drinking Diet Coke again too. Robin

Way to stay with it, Robin. Just work on the water, okay?

Eating? Terrible!!! I am not going overboard on calories, but I hate to admit what those calories are made up of.... I really hate that I am so weak in this area... Exercise and vitamins and water..... no problem. doing great... I just wish I could break this food addiction....! I HAVE to do better! Maybe we should start posting what we've been eating each day..that seemed to help me a bit.. ???
