1. 1229 cal, 38 g carbs, 108 g protien 2. 350 calories - did cardio for 30 min this morning then did 40 min walk with my dog this afternoon...it was a beautiful day today!!! 3. nothing major today. 4. 40 oz 5. all of them 6. drink more water - not doing so great with that, but at least I am getting more than I was two weeks ago. 7. maintain weight w/ current eating plan - I'm straying a little too much with that darned trail mix. But got my protien up again and my calories were in line. 8. My Beck Chat promise was to stay completely away from the trail mix (my personal devil) through July 2nd. So that's my new extra mini goal. Not even a tiny nibble. I can't tell you how hard that is going to be!!! But I CAN do it.

I had a pretty good Wednesday. My calories were 1068 according to the computer but I'm sure in reality it was closer to 1300. I ate 81 grams of protein and 76 carbs. My carbs are usually higher than I would like but it's the fruit I eat. I love fruit. Fat grams were higher than I would like and higher than usual. They were 51. 2. Activity - I always exercise! Strength and aerobics. Probably burned about 400. 3. Successes/Challenges: Well, knowing I was going to post kept me more on track. You guys were looking over my shoulders! Also, knowing I was going to chat online, I tried to negotiate with myself when I was tempted to eat. Challenges - negotiating with myself!! Strengthening my resistance muscle! 4. Fluid - good but could always be better. 5. Got in all my vitamins. 6. Mini Goal - exercise the resistance muscle, be in the moment and be confrontational with myself when I'm tempted - don't be a wimp and give in! 7. Long Term Goals - Keep working the mini-goals until practice makes perfect. BE CONSCIOUS AND IN THE MOMENT AT ALL TIMES. BE HONEST WITH MYSELF. I am so glad we are doing this because I've been so down on myself lately. Last night I reported during the online chat that I'd written a question/answer to myself on a page of the Beck book. I asked myself why I was so resistant to planning and my honest answer was that planning would make me accountable and serve notice that I was not following through. If I just react to food - rationalize that I'll just eat this one time and never again, if I just see myself as a victim of cir****tance, if I just think it's unfair that I can't have this or that, if I don't negotiate (my new keyword today!) with myself about what, when and why I'm eating, I am not living in the moment and I'm breezing through life as a victim. I have to learn that I AM responsible for my choices and every choice is a DECISION that I made - no one else. WHEW! That's a lot to swallow! Pun intended! Stay strong! Plan! CeCe
