Whatcha Eating Today VSGers? -- Tuesday

FINALLY!  In April I'd gotten down to my lowest weight ever as an adult - 179!  Then everything happened with my dad and I've been snacking and getting off track and I proceeded to gain and lose the same 6 pounds for the next few months.  It's been frustrating, but I haven't had the brain power to deal with it.  I finally decided that get myself back on track at the beginning of the month, reset my brain from the bad habits I've let back into my life, and get this weight loss going in the right direction again!  And today the scale rewarded me with that number - 179 :D  Yay rah!!  

I found that I needed to reset my brain more than anything and, even though I hate that this is what it took, I went back to drinking shakes for breakfast and lunch every day, instead of just for breakfast as normal.  I'm going to work on incorporating a solid meal back into my life for lunch and pay super careful attention to those bad habits and what triggers then.  The main culprit for me was being in the car - I had set up the bad habit of snacking in the car which wasn't a big deal when I was only driving to see my parents every 6 weeks or so.  It became a much bigger deal when I kept the habit but was driving up to help there every single week.. 

Anyway, on to the stats.  

1: frankenshake
2: protein shake
3: samosa mashed potatoes with lamb

liquid and vites: on track
exercise: at least 60 minutes yoga class, probably another 30 minutes of yoga at home.  I had planned to Bowflex but I'm feeling physically pretty crummy right now, so I'll probably skip it.  

How about you?

Congrats on getting back on track.  I think life crises are always going to impact our eating.  But as long as we can get back on track, we'll do fine.

Breakfast - salmon

lunch - crustless mushroom quiche

lunch2 - crack slaw

dinner - chicken and broccoli casserole

vitamins - on track

water - ok

exercise - still jet lagged.  I'll need to get back to it soon.

Thank you!  

It is really reassuring to know that I can get myself back on track.  I've been worried about that.  It's one thing to never screw up, but it's entirely different to screw up and not just give up completely.  So, in a way, I proved something even better to myself!

I still have bronchitis/asthma, and my appetite is still low, so I'll probably have a light day.

Psycoticparrot - I've had asthma my whole life, so I know what you're feeling when you have a hard time breathing. Fortunately I haven't had an attack in a very long time, but when I did, I found that staying away from any milk products & sipping hot liquids truly helped. Feel better!

Congrats, Gwen!  How exciting!  I have been doing the same...gaining and losing the same 6 pounds.  My lowest was 140.4 and I would like to get to 140 even...maybe even 139.  I'm struggling with PMS eating right now.  I can't believe how I crave carbs during this time of the month.

B: yogurt and granola

Snack: popcorn :(  I love the stuff.

L: chicken thigh (I had salami and cheese but my daughter ate it first)

D: Taco Tuesday! I just eat it without the shell.  I made homemade salsa from my fresh garden veggies and it is delicious!

Water: behind because I was snacking on popcorn

Vites: on track

Exercise: 25 minutes on the bike this morning
