Since no one had started today's thread, I thought I would. I can't tell you how much this is helping me. I mentioned in Wednesday's that just the thought of having to post this tonight along with our chat about Beck last night helped me resist a bagel this morning. Later I went to buy fresh veggies at the little market where they have small bag servings of nuts. I just can't buy nuts in larger servings because I nibble but I sometimes buy a little bag there. I looked at them and was tempted but thought of you guys and walked right by and never thought of them again. I had planned ground turkey lettuce wraps for dinner and needed some water chestnuts and lettuce so my husband and I were in a supermarket. We were both hungry and everything looked SO good to me. I kept my eyes straight ahead, got what I needed and said we needed to get out of there! Even before stopping at the supermarket, I was feeling the urge to change my dinner plans and suggest we eat out but yet again this accountability thread saved me. So those are some of the successes and challenges of today. 1. Calories today: Computer says 1062 so again I'll say giving a little leeway that it was right around 1300. Fats were lower, under 20. Because of watermelon, banana, strawberries, the carbs were still high 130, ugh! Protein was 107. Carbs add up with the sugar of the fruit but I didn't eat starches. 2. Exercise was only walking the dogs. I allowed myself to get sidetracked this morning nad didn't make it to the gym. My daughter had surgery and I was talking to family so much that I just didn't make the effort. 3. See first paragraph for challenges/successes 4. Fluid intake - pretty good. I was very aware of it and have my shaved ice with me now! 5. Took all my vitamins 6. Mini Goal - be aware of my choices. Be aware everything is a choice. 7. Big Goal - being able to live in a world of food and choices without feeling out of control and obsessed. I seem to write something different every time but it's all in the same vein! Hope you guys had a good day! CeCe

Great job today CeCe!! I totally agree this accountability thing is awesome. I remember a couple months back getting onto the Dec 06 board and they were doing this. I thought, gee I wish we were doing it. Britt you're awesome I love your #7 today. That is a goal I would very much like to adopt as well. Corinna Q

1. 1251 calories, 25 g carbs, 107 g protien 2. 250 cal - lower body workout (and boy am I gonna feel it tomorrow I can already tell) and went for a 15 min walk with the dog this evening (not counting that). I also had a lesson today and sang for an hour but apparently that's just going to make me fat and doesn't actually burn any calories...I'm not bitter or anything... 3. I didn't touch the trail mix...yippee. HUGE pat on my back. And my front desk girl filled up her candy dish with chocolate malt balls, which I love and usually eat at least one of, and I didn't eat a single one! 4. By the end of tonight I'll have gotten 50. 5. I took them all, but took my iron with my calcium thinking it was one of my Vit D pills, then I looked down, still had two vit D and no iron in my hand. So the calcium and iron pretty much cancelled each other out. But at least I took them. 6. Drink more water - doing better today. No trail mix - oh yeah baby...got that one done for sure! 7. maintain weight and current eating habits - Got my carbs back down and protien up, calories were in line. I'd have to say it was a good day! 8. Bought the Beck book last night. I'll start reading it tonight. Here's to another great day tomorrow

1) 1500 2) 375 - cardio and weights 1 hour 3) not a great day - 4) 45?? 5) no 6) STAY IN THE MOMENT 7) 142 get back there@ TODAY IS THE LASTY DAY OF SCHOOL. I had a last day of school brealfast with the Moms - that hinestly I didn't want to go (but I did) I declined each invite to breakfast the whole year - so I wnet. Still with my scale up - i hate going. Soon we are going out to lunch with my mom to Celebrat Tori's graduation from Pre-k and later this evening is yet another get together celebration for the last day of school woth other friends. I loved our beck talk the other evening! hugs, Britt
