Thursday! Whatcha Eatin? R U Exercising?

I ended up walking the neighborhood with DH last night.  It was breezy and cool so it didn't even feel like exercise!  I'm waiting on DD to call so we can run this morning.

Maintenance is a bear.  Some days I am hungry all day long, and I crave the carbs.  I'm sure it has to do with that TOM, because I happen to have a nice zit under my nose today.  The hard part is remembering just because I WANT it, I can't always HAVE IT.  Yes, I can sometimes, but if I do it all the time, I'll start to regain.

Lets face it--my metabolism is still broken.  With my activity level and the amount of muscle I have, my daily use of calories to maintain should be around 2,200.  However, I am maintaining on 1,500-1,800 per day.  So that tells me that I still have a sluggish metabolism...which isn't surprising, but disappointing. 

I really feel like a spoiled child when I see the cookies, and want the cookies, but have to drink some water and walk away. 

Eats today:

B1-1/2 c cottage chs with NSA peaches and 1/2 ww english muffin
B2-chicken breast (5 oz)
L-Lean Cuisine
S-watermelon
S-Chobani
D-pork chops and veggies

Dessert-NSA ice cream bar

Have a great day!

You have got some awesome willpower!  I give in to my cravings on occassion.  I have to...or I think I have to.  When I do, I try to up the exercise and water for the next couple of days.  Guess this is something we will have to address for the rest of our lives.  We have come to far to pack the pounds back on now!

B:  1 egg, 2 oz. roast beef, 1 turkey sausage link, 1 tea biscuit
S:  Venti Skinny Cinnamon Dolce Latte
L:  Protein Bar
S:  White Cheddar Popcorn
D:  2 eggs, 2 strips turkey bacon, 2 oz. cheese
S:  Not sure yet....probably crackers with p-nut butter

I do give in sometimes because I will not live in deprevation mode....it is just some days I have to reign myself in because I could get out of control really quickly.  Lifetime battle--but I do like you do, I up the exercise and water and that seems to wash my sins away!
