Good morning, Denise...
I'm with you... plugging along until it sinks in!! I used to struggle at work with cravings and I'd hit the snack machines. Now I keep food at my desk and that demon has been tamed. Now, when I get home at 3:30, there's a new demon in town that wants to snack! I've tried South Beach cookies, which are too good... so I had to stop buying them... they slide right through the pouch and I could overdose on them too easily. Yesterday was pretty good, although I did take a bite of my daughter's pizza. I don't know why I did that... it's cardboard... she loves it, but I wasted calories on cardboard!! I ate cardboard impulsively! Anyway today's a new day... So here's my plan:
7:30 am
3 oz turkey deli
9:00
3 oz deli ham
12:00 noon
South Beach - Cashew Chicken
3:30 pm
South Beach - Beef and Broccoli
(plan to each this the moment I walk in the door to scare off the snack demons!)
6:00
tuna 3 oz
romaine lettuce
vinegarette dressing..
Snacks:
sugar free popsicles
sugar free cider

We can and will do this!
Hi Denise K,
How's the afternoon hunger coming, it looks like you added a little something to the afternoon snack.
I want to report that yesterday was very good for me. I did have a mini coconut donut, but because I only at half of my fruit salad the carbs and calories were a wash. I exercised on the treadmill and I took the stairs all day long while I was at work. This morning I feel so energetic and I didn't have to drag myself out of bed. Today is going to go equally well.
Here's my game plan:
5:00 Instant Oatmeal (Pecan Flavored)--I got my nuts in early!!!
Turkey Sausage
8:30 Chicken Salad w/ wheat thins
11:30 Chicken Burger, Cheese Slice Topped with Broccoli Slaw
2:30 Fruit Salad
4:00 Protica
6:30 Chicken Burger, Cheese Slice Topped with Broccoli Slaw
9:30 Kettle Popcorn (100 Calorie Pack)
Calories 1141

Carbs 79

Stairs all day and Tae Bo Tape Tonight
Have a great day!!!
Hi Teah,
I will have to say that my afternoon hunger is getting better. I did start having cottage with my lunch and then having an apple with my string cheese on the way home from work is helping alot. (it seems to be better then having the yogurt) Thanks for asking how I'm doing with that.
Have a great evening,
Denise K.

Good morning my friends!
I posted in another thread that even though I didn't stick to my plan yesterday (by a LONG shot... ) I still lost a pound. That makes 10 lbs. in three weeks. The first week I lost 8, then gained one back and forth for about 2.5 weeks, then I've lost 3 since Friday or Saturday. I'm very happy with this although the 2.5 weeks with no loss was very frustrating.
I'm back on board today, and here's my plan:
B: 3 oz chicken breast , 1/2 scoop Unjury (30 min before or after chicken)
S: some cantaloupe and some apple
L: tuna salad with 1/2 T FF mayo, small green salad with SF dressing
S: WW Flakes & Fiber cereal, 1/2 scoop Unjury
D: Skirt Steak (3 oz) and chicken breast (3 oz) and a green salad with SF dressing
S: Microwave pork rinds
Totals:
Calories: 1025
Carbs: 30
Protein: 145
Water: 80 oz.
Exercise: Did the 2 mile WATP Walkblaster this morning, will do the 2.5 mile Walk and Jog this evening
WE CAN DO IT!!!!
Hugs,
Nancy

Hi Nancy,
Becareful how much exercise you do. You maybe burning too many calories. Sounds like you exercise alot. This might be why you're not loosing. I talked to a nutritionist about that because several months back I was exercising faithfully for several weeks and didn't even loose a pound and she told me that I was probably burning too many calories. Anyway just a thought. It used to be just exercise for 20 minutes three times a week. I hear now that we should exercise at least 30 minutes four times a week. Everyone's body reacts differently to exercise we just have to figure out what we need to do for our bodies. Keep up the good work, you're doing great.
Hugs,
Denise K.

Denise, I've heard things too about burning too many calories when you're eating less to begin with. I know they say to get some sort of benefit from exercise you should do AT LEAST 30 minutes 4x per week, so I would think of that as the minimum. I do 2 - 30 minute sessions every day except on weekends I might just do 30 minutes each day. I sometimes worry that if I stop doing them, it will make it easier for me to stop doing them all together.
I may try cutting some of the evening sessions out and see what happens.
Hugs,
Nancy
Hi All,
You know if I didn't have to report here everyday, I don't think I would be doing so well. This is helping keep me honest. When I got home last night I felt so miserable I did not want to fix anything to eat, so I had 100% whole wheat bread with reduced fat peanut butter. And the cold finally kicked me in the butt and I did not exercise.
Hope today is better, although my head is so congested it feels as big as my exercise ball.
Breakfast:
Whey protein drink, 1/2 banana, 5 strawberries, 1C skim milk
Lunch
South Beach Mediterranean Chicken witn Couscous
Dinner
Boca Burger
Snack
Tangerine
String cheese
pistachio nuts
SF popsicle
