FOOD and EXERCISE Monday

Okay, I know I've been MIA as far as this daily thread is concerned. I had a busy weekend, and most of my meals began with pizza. B~3/4 cup Special K low-carb cereal, 1/2 c skim milk. Yes, there IS a high protein cereal out there! And it didn't swell in my stomach like cereal normally does. L~1 Southwest Chicken Fajita from Jack-in-the-Box. This pita has 260 calories and 20, count them 20, g of protein. And to think we're getting a JIB in town in just 2 months. HOORAY...my new favorite food! D~1 slice of a frozen pizza (you'd think I'd be sick of the stuff by now!) S~1 cup chocolate Carb Countdown (trying something new...not too bad), 1oz string cheese Exercise: Heading to the gym now for a minimum of 30 minutes on the treadmill. Pamela -78

I had to take off work today and the heating pad is my best friend!!! I guess my old habits of eatting for comfort have come out too!!! Take care ~Cindy~ -102 352/250/140ish *****237 by V-Day*****

Not nearly enough fluids today either I am home nursing a bad cold. So I don't have much of an appetite, and I can't figure out what I want. But at least it hasn't been my usual eat fest I have when I am home nursing something Today...I decided to at least go back to 2- 1/2- 3 hr intervals between feedings, and measuring my food. WHAT A CONCEPT!! hopefully I will maintain the discipline through tomorrow and beyond. Each day is a new day, isn't it? Getting concerned that if the 6month period is when you lose the most weight...then I am screwed if I don't knock off the nonsense and start moving. As big as I am - I should be losing more. So I am going to stop secong guessing and try to get back on the straight and narrow. Pam- have you tried some lower fat/ lower carb alternatives to the saucy cheesy-ness we love about pizza? I have opted for some of the thinner crust pizzas they make- or using pita bread -tomato sauce- or a ff sphaghetti sauce and no fat mozzarella cheese. I have also heard of a recipe with eggplant as a crust. Keep on posting- Marcy -72 and counting (weigh in day is tomorrow if I am not still sick)

Good food day - protein wise...but I feel like puking now...

Exercise - have no energy to do that! Anne

Hi Pam - glad to see you back!! Well, yesterday was my son's birthday and he wanted pizza for dinner - kind of hard to pass up, but we did get Domino's thin crust which doesn't do too much damage. Went a bit over on carbs and a bit under on protein, but will try and make up for it today.
