Nuthin but Nutrition November - Sunday day 1

 Good for you Gina.   Hope you enjoy it.   My family loves it and so do I.    


Hugs and blessings ~~~ Vivian

hopefully I can do better about posting - my eating has gotten much better even with stress the last few days - we litterally cleaned everything out of the deep freeze, fridge and freezer and gave away or threw away everything that did not fit into a resonable healthy eating plan - yep I still have my choc but have not had any of it since thurs

did have half a sugarcookie last night and somehow a almond joy that rach opended and took a small bite out of jumped up off the table and landed in my mouth a little bit ago :)

today I have done good - protien shake and all vits and pills so far - on my 3rd litter of water/cl for the day - have a healthy dinner cooking - shepards pie - sort of - left over steak, LOTS of veggies, can of tom soup and brown gravy mixed in and then topped with biscuts instead of tators and a little cheese -

hit the gym today per my plan and will walk after dinner with some gfs -

had a menu though today so I will get that written out for the week now

my weight fluxed way up the few days before Tim left so after a month of sitting at 210 I jupmed to 216 - started and drank LOTS of water and am back at 212 so I am afraid those 2 pounds might be real gain - oh well will work on getting it back off and seeing if I can get under 200 - I saw it ONCE for about a week before I got pg with Rach  - 

I don't have a clue where I'm starting but I know it's not good.  With all the traveling and eating out the past 2 weeks I've been avoiding the scales like crazy.  Had pizza and Halloween candy last night for dinner.  I'll weigh in the morning and get serious again. 

So far today I had a 1/2 of a breakfast sandwich from "Jack" (I'm sure that a whole one was easily 800 calories), my homemade chicken salad on crackers for lunch and I'm planning grilled lean pork chops and salad for dinner.  I still have a frozen protein drink for breakfast tomorrow and I'll be throwing a pot roast in the crock pot tomorrow.  So I DO have a plan-now I just need to make it happen.

I bet if we start logging our food and posting it again we'll all do much better-anyone game?

Other people's logs sure do help ME-I get lots of ideas from them. My own log will be pretty boring and repetetious to read this week, but it's what I NEED to do-bought chicken and green beans and apples-will probably be what I take for lunch all week-will cook chicken tonight, then "Tupperware up" 5 lunches. I've gotten into a bad habit of NOT eating lunch, then wanting to hit the vending machine about 3pm, because..surprise, surprise, I'm HUNGRY! There is a lil fidge in my office, and a microwave in the office next door-I have NO excuses!!

Ok all I'm jumping on this month!  I need it and need you guys.  I am happy to say I lost the 14 lbs I went up last week.  Yes that is right, I went up 14 lbs in 3 days, then back down 15lbs in the next 4 days.  Can you say UNCOMFORTABLE???  It was fluid so I wasn't completely freaking out, but man I was sore, grumpy and not happy.  This morning I was at 253.5, my low that I'd like to see again is 251 (and then lower of course).

I'm reading Connie Stapleton's book Eat it Up and realizing, or rather admitting, that I really do and have had "issues" to deal with surrounding my weight.  Yes I know I'm late to the game on that one, but remember I was the "healthy 500 lb person" too.  What wonderful mind games we play with ourselves.

I've had more days of not tracking my food than I have tracked, so that's goal number one.  Track everything every day, even when I don't eat at home.  That becomes my excuse, I ate out for lunch so that's hard to track so throw the rest of the day to the wind.  Not a healthy habit to get back into, so that gets nipped in the bud now.  Jeff is also dealing with some issues around his eating and I need to get back to stocking the house with healthy, nutritious stuff for both of us.  We had a chat about it this morning and I ended up crying and realizing again I have stuff to work on. 

Why oh why does this have to be a work in progress??  I'd much rather it be done, fixed and behind me.  Ok, now I'm just whining so I'll pack it up for the night and commit to getting on here through Nov while I'm working on my stuff.  Thanks all!!

DEBBI-I'd like to hear more about that book, when you have time. Yes, we ARE, and will FOREVER BE a "work in progress"...sigh...I WISH I could tell you it will get EASIER as the years go by....and maybe it DOES....for SOME people....but that has not been MY life, or most anyone I know...it's a daily/hourly/sometimes "down to the moment" decsion making lifestyle change...we scew up...we move forward...we fall back...we do great...we move forward...etc...etc...We jusy do the best we can, being HUMAN.

YOU, my SISTER, are a true INSPIRATION, even if you never lose another single ounce!!!!

Hi everyone,

I am one of the ones that lurks everyday and my actions sure show it.  I am up the 8 lbs that everyone on here has lost.  Its been 2 years and 1 month since my surgery and feel like I am getting back to old habits.  I am a true testimony, that support helps.  Without it this is a difficult journey, thinking you know it all and can do it all by oneself.  LOL  No way.  I need you all.

I am making a plan and sticking to it.  One day at a time and so far this day is good.

b  protein br  (maybe not the best choice but it is what i had)
snack  pure protein shake in can
lunch  campbells light soup whole can
dinner  salad and soup(homemade vegetable)
vitamins in and doing water.

Everyone on here is going great.  Gina, congrats on your 8 lbd loss. Danni as much as you excercise you will get off those 2 lbs.  Debbie, well what can I say.  You are truly awe inspiring.

Thanks all of you for keeping the positivie attitudes.  It is so very, very helpful even to us lurkers.
I am making a vow now to post more, update my ticker and post a picture.
A BIG THANKS for doing the all that you all do.  Even when you don't know your doing it.

Melissa
