Jumpstart January B2B Wednesday

Okay...already got up and rode my bicycle for 30 minutes, so I am making a great, needed positive start to my day!

I ate fruit w/ low fat sour cream, cinnamon, oats and a little splenda brown sugar for a snack instead of the Mousse Temptations cup.  Sugar alcohols don't bother me.

Today's plan:
lots of liquids
protein coffee already downed
low carb chicken salad w/ 4 triscuits on a bed of mixed greens for lunch
dinner will be stir-fried beef, onions, snow peas, carrots, fresh spinach and whatever else I throw in, just no RICE!
snack: mousse temptations cup or skinny cow ice cream sandwich
maybe string cheese w/ 2 triscuits if I need it

What's your plan?

Karla

Dang girl... already on the bike this morning!!!  I'm impressed!!!!

Going to be along day for me today as we have a thing at work tonight so I will be there until 8:30... packing dinner with my lunch so I won't be tempted to snack!!!

B: greek yogurt
S: SF apple cider
L:  Taco soup/SF pudding
S:  protein bar
D: ham/bean soup/2 italian crisps/SF jello
S: Believe RTD

If I stay on track this will be about 1000 cal and 80g of protein.

 Hi Ladies,

It was “Battle Royall" yesterday with my food, and I lost at around 4:30pm.  It was all downhill after that.  I have no excuses, I just get a little “nutty" everyday around 4pm, and I lost control.  I came home and wrote in my journal about it.  Not sure if that works, but I’m willing to try anything.

I also tried to come up with some ideas to keep me from doing this.  I was wondering if one of you would willing to be my texting buddy?  Maybe we could send each other a text message when the “stinking thinking" kicks in.  Just an idea…….let me know if any of you are willing to try.

Good things are that aside from yesterday afternoon, I’ve had a pretty good week.  I’ve been drinking my water, taking my vitamins and posting every day.  I hopped on the scale this morning and I’m pleased with the number.  I’m not at goal, but slowly getting there.  I woke up early and spent 45 minutes on my treadmill so I feel like my head is a good place today.

I’m dusting myself off and here I go again……..

Goals for Today:

Take my vitamins

30 min. exercise

Log food intake & activity

Drink 4 bottles of water

Stick to MY meal plan

 

My Food Plan:

B: Egg White, turkey, FF Cream Cheese

L: Ham Lettuce Wraps, Pork Skins

S: Protein Shake

D: Grilled Chicken & Sm. salad

S: Protein Shake

I posted my results from yesterday on last night's thread.  That really helps me...knowing that I have to go do that at the end of the day.  Funny how that works!

Here is my plan for today...

B protein coffee
S oatmeal w/protein mixed in
L salmon, collard greens and black beans
S CrunchOs protein chips
D roast beef, green beans
S 1/2 an EAS carb control bar

Wed is gym night, so I plan to burn about 500 calories while using the elliptical and lifting weights. I made an "appointment" with a gym buddy for 5pm so there are no excuses there.

 I had a bad evening, but I intend to post this evening.  You're right, it helps.

Go Karla!!!  Wooohooo!!

I've got to stay below 100 g of carbs today.  Yesterday I went over again so I'm still hanging on to 6lbs of fluid.  Ick.  Makes me feel like my skin is going to pop.

Today's plan:

Protein coffee
Fiber plus bar
Egg beaters w/ ham & veggies
Turkey burger on rye w/ cheese
Gumbo w/ double meat
Mexican Goulash
Lunch meat roll up

Fixing to go to an exercise video before work, gotta get some movement going.

morning everyone,

Today is the day I have been 'dreading' for weeks. The DOCTOR weigh in.  I am going to try and learn to just take whatever it is and be happy it's not 300+.  Easier said than done but I am making progress with other things so this needs to be done as well.  Asking for prayers that I don't freak out!  I am also going to try to put the dern scale away and join Mari's MMWI only.  Steph and Karla, you KNOW how hard that is for me but I CAN DO HARD THINGS, RIGHT?

Scale today is about the same at 158.  Still going to aim at a steady 155 when we get to mid February. I'm really much more comfortable there.

Karla - I am extremely proud of you.  The exercise (walking) bug has been swarming around a bit.  I need to take Maddie down to the park in the evenings. It's a beautiful walk and no excuses. I am doing more 'chore' exercise withmy car and porch but it's not the same.

Lisa, good for  you to know to GET back on track right away.

Paige, those long days make it very hard but it sounds like you have a  plan.

I read an interesting article last night about how skinny people eat.. One thing I took away was that they stayed ON TRACK 80% of the time. In other words, out of 30 days, there are 6 that they slipped some. But remember, they are living a NORMAL life.  Might be something to consider.

 Hi Becky,

Just wanted to say, THANKS for encouragement, I need it.

Also, I've just joined Mari's MMWI, and I think I really like it.  You really should give it a try.

Hugs,
Lisa

Good morning...I DIDN'T weigh this morning but I guess I didn't need to either.  I put on my size 8 skinny jeans, zipped them and couldn't breathe or sit.  Nuff said!!

Plan for today:
Breakfast: protein shake
Lunch: steak and cheese
Dinner: grilled shrimp and LF coleslaw

I'll be making more LF trash mix and SF/FF pudding today for snacks.  Also need to cut up some more fresh veggies for crunch-radished, carrots, celery.

 

Good Morning!!

Did okay yesterday at the Mexican Restaurant.  Had fajitas minus the tortilla.  :)  And, didn't pig out on the chips tooooo badly.  But, I did eat some of them with some yummy, made fresh at our table, guacamole.  The scale said 154 this morning and considering how puffy my fingers are, I'm sure that's due to water retention.  Pushing liquids so I can see a drop tomorrow (hopefully).

Today's plan:

Lotsa water and lemon
Coffee
Breakfast:  Protein shake 
Lunch:  Homemade pimento cheese either on one slice of bread or with celery.
Dinner:  Soup Nazi's Mexican Chicken Chili
Snacks:  Fruit (put the bowl on TOP of the cookie container!!!!)
           Celery with pimento cheese
           Protein shake - if I need another

I caught myself walking by the cookie Tupperware on the counter and mindlessly grabbing one a couple times yesterday, so I put my fruit bowl on top of it and then when I was tempted, I had to actually THINK about moving something healthy to get to something that wasn't.  Chose the fruit instead.  So, I've decided that even though it looks tacky, it is going to stay like this when there are cookies in there. Helps me make good choices, so why not, right?  :)
