More to Lose - Wednesday, 6/14

Hi all, Guess I'm the first one here today, so I guess I'll start. I had another good day yesterday and lost another pound which is a total of 3 for this week. I felt a bit snacky at the end of the day, so I had some pork rinds. They aren't my favorite, but I added a packet of Splenda and a dash of cinnamon to them and you know, they weren't half-bad! Here's what's on the menu today... B: Isopure protein drink L: Unjury protein drink D: Green salad with tomatoes, 3 oz. tuna salad (made with FF mayo), 12 med. shrimp, cucumber and SF salad dressing. Snacks: SF Jell-O, pork rinds Totals: Calories: 724 Carbs: 16 Protein: 100 I hope to do my 40 minute walk again today if it doesn't rain before I get out. If it does, I'll either do the treadmill at the gym downstairs or a WATP tape at home. Hope everyone has a GREAT day!! Hugs, Nancy

Good Morning All, Based on some of the current posts on this board, I propose that we change the train to post the foods that we have actually eaten for the previous day. I know that I have a problem sticking to what I've planned, because I always end up indulging in an unplanned snack. The next day I will report that I had a snack, but I never incorporate that snack into the total food that I had planned for the previous day. Especially, when I don't know or haven't planned for a meal/snack. I believe that if we post what we have actually eaten, we may uncover information that could help us meet our goals. Should we switch gears? Teah

Teah - that's funny - I was thinking we should put down our 'actuals' the next day too. I wonder if putting what we actually ate the day before PLUS our plan for the current day would be good. I think I might do that. For me, having a plan for the day really helps to keep me on track. Hugs, N.

I like your idea Nancy! I think it helps to show what you actually did, and try to adjust the plan for the next day. Michelle

Hey Teah! That makes absolute sense... Funny thing is the original plan was to post a plan; and then at the end of the day post the actual.... I fear without some sort of a gameplan, at least for me, I'll just blow the whole day. Even if I stray a bit from plan, the fact that I post the plan and then post the actual (bad stuff included...) may help improve this journey. What do you think? Sad part is I started this day stressed out, so I didn't make a plan. I had water in my basement. I had a contractor come out and found that concrete around my window well has crumbled away... Roughly $600 later I will have new concrete poured and settled. So how do I handle stress? With food... unplanned food... food from McDonald's of all places... so this is not a good morning so far... I think I'll get it together for the rest of the day!!! Denise

Denise: You can do it!!!! Hang in there!!! Michelle

Oh Denise, I'm sorry about the water in your basement, I can sympathize with you. Don't worry you'll get it together....Now I've got to write down what I actually ate today...Its not pretty. But since I will be revealing to the world what I ate, I'm gonna be on my best behavior. Teah

I'm like Denise......started off with no plan because I forgot all my stuff at home today. Luckily I had some things stashed at work. So here's my impromtu plan. B: Southbeach Protein Bar S: Fresh raspberries L: Not sure, going out to lunch, something with chicken I hope! S: applesauce/maybe some pretzels. D: Hmm forgot to take something out of the freezer......this one will be tricky! LOL Okay, so its not much of a plan, but I'm trying!! LOL Michelle 58 more pounds to lose till goal!
