Plan for today:
lots of liquids
protein coffee already downed
salad w/ tuna or salmon for lunch
steak pizza on flatwrap for dinner

What's your plan for today?

 Good Morning Karla & TMB,


Hope everyone is doing well this morning.  I'm up and I just finished my 45 min. session of cardio, but I'm feeling a little "off".  I stayed up way too late last night and ended up in the fridge.  I'm feeling crappy about my self this morning.  Got on the scale and I'm up one pound.  I'm thinking I need to DE-CARB.  I'm temped to do a "liquids only" day.  

??????

In a funk....

Dust yourself off Lisa, one bad day is allowed every now and again.  Heck those 45 min of exercise just counted for something.  That's a lot more exercise than I've done in a long time.  Hang in there and try to make good choices today.

 Hi Stephanie,

Thanks for the great tip.  

Hanging in there,
Lisa

had a really good day yesterday - i actually ended up not eating the end of my evening snack - I know that is a first - the scale has been kind - I was up about 7 pound when tim went back a week ago - now down 2 plus the 7 :)  of course the 2 are part of what Iost before Cmas and gained back LOL so I am yoyoing some - not happy with that but I REALLY want to see under 200 - 170 or 180 would be great but 199 would make me happy this month

didn't get to hit the E this am - Rach woke up fussing about 1 min into my work out - so going to get in an hour of walking this morning

I thought I was getting a headach from carb or even just calorie withdrawl - NOPE getting it from gritting my teeth to avoid eating things not on my list - I am not even hungry - just want to eat - that last bite off a kids plate- a slice of deli meat while making lunches - not even bad stuff but itwill all add up

todays goal and planned meals - praying I can do day#4 of eating off the menu instead of randomly shoving crap, even healthy, crap into my mouth.

target: Planned:

Calories under 1,800 1,594

Carbohydrate under 180 g 171 g (40%)

Protein 148 - 167 g 157 g (37%)

Fat under 50 g 45 g (24%)

Dietary Fiber over 28 g 44 g

Yesterday went great till about 815pm when I finaly finishe my school work. My back hurt with cramps between my shoulder blades, had to go to the store and freeze my tushie off and then came back and could not go to sleep.  Feling sorry for myself, exhausted and unable to rest i went for an unplanned and unneeded snack and the boob tube with my bankie.  it worked and in 20 minutes was finally relaxed enough to be nodding off and ready for bed.  Logically i understand that the snack did not help me sleep and that it was only a coping mechanism. Obviously I need a bedtime routine. I think I'm gonna start taking hot baths and flipping through the stack of magazines that I don't hve time to read. (I can at least look at the pictures). So...new day, clean slate....baby steps.

 Seems as though you and I are fighting the same battle come evening hours.  You're not along with this struggle.  

I never thought of it that way, but I guess I need a bedtime routine, as well.  Will plan on reading this evening.

Here's to baby steps....

I had a great food day yesterday.  I ate less than what was on my plan.  I ate a salad last night while I waited on my porkchop to cook and before I knew it, I realized I never ate my porkchop.  The salad alone was enough.  I was on my computer and was distracted and forgot about eating.  I love it when that happens.  Scale didn't reward me but it's OK I'm holding steady at 156.0.

Today's plan:
Breakfast: protein drink
Lunch: porkchop and salad
Dinner: beef fajita x 1

Good Morning....  I think....

Okay, so what's with this?  The drama is finally on it's way out.  Got the tax refund check so can get caught up on everything and a little ahead plus have money in savings for a change and last night I ate chips.  Lots of chips.  And drank a soda.  After eating out at chick fil a last night for dinner!!!  I do well during the stress and fall apart when the end is finally in sight.  Makes no sense for me.  Maybe I let my guard down?  I don't know, but I'm mad at myself for it.  *sigh*

But, I am NOT giving up and I'm NOT waiting till next week to start again.  I am starting over this morning.  :)

Breakfast - protein shake (already had it!!!)
Lunch - don't know, will be out shopping.  Maybe a salad.
Dinner - pork roast and veggies.
Snacks - gonna buy protein bars and fruit at store tody so that will be my snacks. 

Thanks for helping me be accountable - and giving me a safe place to admit my failures and pick myself back up.  :)
