I ended up walking the neighborhood with DH last night.  It was breezy and cool so it didn't even feel like exercise!  I'm waiting on DD to call so we can run this morning.

Maintenance is a bear.  Some days I am hungry all day long, and I crave the carbs.  I'm sure it has to do with that TOM, because I happen to have a nice zit under my nose today.  The hard part is remembering just because I WANT it, I can't always HAVE IT.  Yes, I can sometimes, but if I do it all the time, I'll start to regain.

Lets face it--my metabolism is still broken.  With my activity level and the amount of muscle I have, my daily use of calories to maintain should be around 2,200.  However, I am maintaining on 1,500-1,800 per day.  So that tells me that I still have a sluggish metabolism...which isn't surprising, but disappointing. 

I really feel like a spoiled child when I see the cookies, and want the cookies, but have to drink some water and walk away. 

Eats today:

B1-1/2 c cottage chs with NSA peaches and 1/2 ww english muffin
B2-chicken breast (5 oz)
L-Lean Cuisine
S-watermelon
S-Chobani
D-pork chops and veggies

Dessert-NSA ice cream bar

Have a great day!

D:  3 oz grilled turkey, and a handful of baked Tater Tots......I know they are bad but I just had to have them!
S:   Handful of Peanuts, 6 crackers


Exercise:  Didn't happen.  Too much rain!

Good news on the stall breaking!  I am amazed at all the swimming you do!  That is great exercise.  Nice to see you here, it is kind of quiet, I like getting a response!!

If  you're in the Mobile area, you won't be that far from Gulf Shores (less than an hour).  A visit to the Alabama Gulf Coast is a MUST....beautiful beaches, and great seafood.   If you do head that way, look for Lambert's Cafe in Foley - great home cooked food, and "Home of the Throwed Rolls".   Biloxi & Gulfport, MS, are just about an hour west of Mobile, and the casinos are always fun to visit.  You MUST try BBQ from the South - Dreamland - in Mobile. 

Got up this morning at 6 and got in a 2 mile run before the heat....I have to mow a friend's lawn this evening....I know it will be brutal!!

Eats today:

B1-1/2 ww english muffin with 1 hard boiled egg
B2-90% lean ground beef patty (4 oz)
L-chicken breast and brussel sprouts
S-Chobani
S-cantaloupe
D-manwich--guess I'll eat the mixture on 1/2 of a ww bun.....

Dessert-not sure--NSA ice cream bar or s/f pudding cup

Have a great day!
