Wednesday's Plan

Hi all,

I have been doing so well with maintaining my plan.  I might have changed a few meals, but for the most part, what I have been eating is right on target.  I have also resisted the daily weigh in, because that has been detrimental to me in the past. 

So my plan for the day:

Breakfast:  Greek yogurt with Peanut butter granola

Snack:  Kashi crackers

Lunch:  Left over spaghetti

Snack:  apple with low fat peanut butter (ya the real thing!)

Dinner:  Chicken marinated in parmesan peppercorn and caesar dressing, green beans and baked potato.

I will also have either a weigh****cher chocolate ice cream bar or sugar free italian ice. 

Drink Drink Drink.....I have also conceded that I will probably not get to the gym much this week, but I am going to try my best to get on the treadmill at home. 

Hi Martha,

You are doing great sticking to your plan!  Great WI the other day too!  I bet you end up losing during the holiday season rather than gaining like SO many others.

I have been so so lately.  Fine with the exercise, but I feel like I'm eating too many "bad" things.  I feel as if I am starting to obsess (in my head) about food.  I need to stop that.  It only makes me anxious.  I'll WI tomorrow and see what happens.

Lisa,
I know how it is to be eating too much of the "bad" stuff.  At this time of year, it's almost impossible to resist all of the temptation; just keeping it in check is a major accomplishment, even if we indulge a little.  Keep up the exercise, and I think that will help.  I'm hoping to maintain and just not gain anymore through the end of the year.  If I do that, I'll consider December a huge success!

I am so proud of you, Martha.  You are doing great!  I have been doing okay, but not great.  It's been pretty stressful lately.  Besides it just being the holidays, I've been really busy at work, and my Mom just sold her place on the lake so we've been up there helping her pack.  Yesterday was the closing.  She has moved in with us temporarily.  I'm glad to have her, but it will make sticking to my plan a lot more difficult because she just doesn't like to eat the same things as Jim and me.  So I'll have to find some middle ground for meals.  Anyway, today my plan is:

Breakfast - Shake
Snack - I haven't needed on for the last couple of days.  If I do need one today, it will be cottage cheese and toast or yogurt and kashi with strawberries.
Lunch - either leftover spaghetti or leftover chicken caesar salad with pita
Dinner - homemade pea soup and grilled cheese sandwich, I think
Snack - chocolate square maybe with some PB2 and OJ

And as cold as it is today, I'm going for a walk at lunchtime.
