Good Morning Karla!

The scales are being nice to me again. I am a true scale addict.  Theonly way I can maintain control over my eating is to weigh at least once daily. 

Today's plan:
B-coffee and eggs
L-2 weiners
D-IDK...I have a Mardi Gras Gala meeting to attend tonight and I am not sure what will be availabe there.  I will try to not over do it. 

 

 

B A L A N C E....that's what I'm trying to do.  I'm trying to alternate one good meal with one not so good.  Or if I had too many snacks, make sure my meal itself is healthy.  Anyway...

Yesterday:
Breakfast: protein drink
Lunch: (Christmas Lunch at work): ham. turkey, one roll, pecan pie
Dinner: 3 oz sirloin steak, salad with LF ranch
Snack: peanut M&M's (one vending machine pack).

Today's plan: protein drink
Lunch: ???  I'll be out shopping...maybe a $1 burger
Dinner: grilled shrimp and ???

Scale is OK...at the TOP of my 3 lb range but at least I'm back IN RANGE.

Too many carbs yesterday (muffin at Mimi's) equals fluid retention for me today.  I've got to start really choosing smarter when it comes to stuff like that.  My body apparently really reacts to excess carbs and when I indulge my scale shows it immediately.

So back to lower carb options today:

Protein coffee
Egg beaters w/ ham, veggies & cheese
Fiber plus bar
Pork & Sirloin stew
Cottage cheese w/ spaghetti sauce
Pastrami  & cheese roll ups
Chicken chow mein & chicken egg roll

Pushing lots of fluids, hot and cold, to get this extra water weight out.  I can and will follow through on this!!

Posting a little late today...  Trying to start planning again!!!

Maintenance, maintenance....    I have to start changing my way of thinking.  I never thought I would hear myself say this but I DO NOT want to lose any more weight!!!  This morning I was 156... and that's with still a bit of swelling!!!  Any tips for me as I enter this new phase???

Breakfast: Chai Latte
Lunch: Wendy's Chili and Chikfila diet lemonade
Snack: Oh yeah RTD
Dinner: fish and veggie
Snack: Inspire protein shake

 Hope everyone is having a great day... the choice is yours so make it a good one!!!!

Paige, it's possible you will lose more, just remember MOST of us have some bounce back once I body stabilizes.  Keep making good healthy choices 95% of the time.
