thursday: Day1 back to basics -Report in!

Good Morning Michiganders

I really tried hard yesterday to stay focused on the program. However I had a few glitches in my methods. After chugging down my non decaff java I went to the dentist. It took so long, that I was starving after. So on he way home I tossed the idea of a grilled chicken strawberry salad and Chinese food. The Chinese food carry out won the toss. I order chicken chow main, sweet n sour chicken, and Almond chicken, ad egg rolls. I got quarts because I was doing carry out so that was dinner for the whole family.

Got home piled my plate with a serving spoon of rice, serve spoon of  each entree and 1 egg roll
 Well it is good to know that my minds eye is still bigger than my stomach. I ate a bite of the S.S chicken w/ rice, all of the chicken chow main (on my plate), and part of the almond chicken. I felt stuffed. So I gave the rest to my BFF Maggie (dog) with the exception of the egg roll. That I gave to my son.

Too much MSG and salt. And forget about he breading and sauce. Mental note be careful of the choices of sustenance when hungry.

Today: New Leaf. Like the song says Yesterdays gone. Don't You Look Back.
UP at 7 am. drinking 16 oz crystal light strawberry banana!
filled my vitamin box for the week and made a list of what is low.
8 am took my vitamins.
Planning  Carbsmart  raspberry yogurt for b- fest  and  chocolate protein drink for mid morning snack.  then 16 more oz's of water.
going to log my food and water on OH starting today!

QOTD: What is you commitment to your self? What will you do for you today? And for those of us getting back to basics............. What is your plan????

I will check back in later. Have a fantastic productive day!

Hi Mary,

Yes, today is a new day!  I am going to try hard to get back on track too.  Today, I am committing to get back into the habit of taking my vitamins regularly.  I have already taken my two Centrum chewables and one of my calciums. 

I am also committing to start drinking more fluids.  I drink coffee (regular not decaf) and sometimes in a day that coffee is my only liquids!  Bad, I know, b ut that's what it is.

So that's what I'm working on TODAY....tommorow is a new day.  I'm taking things one day at a time, but I know I need to start journaling because I have a feeling I'm consuming more calories that I think I am.

Good Afternoon,

This must be the week for it  . . . I have been slacking on vitamins and drinking my water so Monday jumped back on the band wagon.

It is so easy if you don't have your plan in place to get side tracked . . but now I am back to filling out my menu the night before and having my containers filled so I won't mess up.

Enjoy your day!

I agree about i being to easy with out having a plan in place.

I guess we'll never be able to just wing it. I was kind of hoping for the point where it all just came out of habit. After all I quit smoking 10yrs ago so why cant I stop eating badly.


Today was a better day. I am all most done with my water and only have my iron and c to take at bed time. got 78 g of protein in and kept my cals to 1030. a little more then I think I need but probably less then what I was consuming when I was grazing.  Better food quality too.
I am a little proud of my self today.

And I have to thank Jan for helping me admit I have been snuffing off too.
Thanks Jani and everyone else...too

I have been concentrating on getting back on track by watching my carbs.  I have limited myself to no sugar, bread, or pasta.  Stressful type of day.  Really wanted a Ghardeli chocolate squre.  However, I maintained and did not cave in to my habit.  Gets easier each day.
