Well I was able to keep on track for exercise today Workout: 2 miles on the treadmill....jogged a bit but mostly walked 16 miles on the stationary bike Food.....well not so hot on that Breakfast.....small popcorn at the movies...I know I know I did have a large water and drank it and got all of my water in for the day Snack..small ice cream cone at DQ...I know I know Lunch..Buffalo Wild Wings...4 piece naked chicken tenders only ate two..had three fries..two mini corndogs Snack..Luna Bar with yogurt Dinner...1/2 cup beef w/pasta & vegetables/1 breadstick Snack..made fat free lemon cranberry muffins...couldn't stay away from them and ate 4 of them What a bummer. I think the exercise part is going to be alot easier than the exercise. I hope those of you who are joining me with this can share your thoughts about how to beat the "food issues". Hope you all have a great week..I'll post tomorrow. Take care! B

Believe me, I'm not going to say a word about your bad-food meals!!! Lets see, yesterday was a typical day, food-wise. I'm never hungry, but I still want crap. Breakfast- diet green tea Lunch- diet green tea Dinner- corndog Snacks- cookies, all freaking day long! Vitamins- all Water- none, but LOTS of diet green tea! So the cookies are gone, I'm not making any more! There's no more candy, no chocolate, only Little Debbies for the kid's lunchboxes and I cant stand those, so I'm safe. If I can conquer the chocolate/sweet cravings I'll be doing better already, so that's where I'm focusing my attention. Next will be the "crappy" food craving, I'm going to try to stop eating so much processed, preservative-laden food and get us all eating better... Have a great day! Rebecca

Thanks for joining me here Rebecca!! Thanks for not flaming me either ;) and I'm not going to say a word abot yourbad food meals either. It's so so hard to not eat the bad stuff. And bad it is..it's just crap without any nutritional value period and why do we keep reaching for it? It doesn't keep us full that's for sure. I think we just need to focus on some goals and objectives..maybe start off small..per snack? Like goal..to eliminate bad snacks each day. Obejective...to maybe have half of that bad snack and then half of a good food choice? I don't know?? I know for me it's going to have to go slow. I've incorporated so many bad things in my diet that it's going to take me awhile to get rid of them....I love popcorn (I'm sure you've noticed) and ice cream. I've done good on the ice cream part. I don't buy the tubs of ice cream like I was. I found that I would find an excuse to go and open it up and have a bite every few hours. If I buy a single serving then that's it and it's not in my house. Popcorn, I used to keep the big serving bags in the house and I would eat the entire bag. Now, I buy the single serving bags so I'm not eating serving upon serving. Movie theater popcorn is quite a challenge for me. I can't seem to resist that temptation. I'll work it on it though. I'm proud of you for making that big step of getting rid of the cookies..I'm sure that's hard!! I hope you have a good day and a great week if I don't see you here! Take care! Bridgett
