Didn't know if I'd get to posting in the am but it looks like no one would have missed it if I didn't put the tread up early.  Its a lonley day for accountability, lol.

Well yesterday was HARD hut not in the way one might guess.  I'm off the junk food but had difficulty getting the protein down.  Same with liquids, barely a quart for the day.  I'm tracking 100% again but I've misplaced my notebook so I don't know my numbers.  I do know that I was still working on my base protein and calorie needs after nine pm last night.  RNY has blessed me with a self adjusting appetite.  I ate poorly last week so this week I've got a tiny pouch. 

Ran gw210k week 10 yesterday.  Taking a break last week made a difference in my strength and energy.  I need to work on strength today cause yesterday's did not get done as I was wiped out after that run.  Today its lite cardio, free weights, and mat work. 

The week's plan remains the same:  75-100g protein, 80 oz liquids including 20 oz plain water, vits. 

Glad you posted, I was thinking this must have been from
yesterday.  You're doing a great job getting back on track
cause you are off the junk food   and it is all coming
together.  Good job!!!

I've got my water, vitamins down and exercise will be this
evening (2 hours)

my food will be on point today (getting lunch ready now)

Thanks girl.  I'm back on point. 

I saw your meal plan on Cookie's thread.  I will be trying that cabbage lasagna.  I thought of trying lasagna with eggplant but cabbage is so much easier.   

It's very good ... make sure you par-boil the

cabbage first (lighter leaves work best) or it will be tough. 

Par-boiling gives the leaves a more pasta like consistency.

I would have never thought to par boil the cabbage first.  Thanks for the tip.  I'll be making this for the family. 

Today was okay. I started out with two microwaved  corn dogs, salmon salad, two handfull of sunflower seeds, sugar free pudding, a lean cusine, 64 ozs water, and for dinner pork loin and green beans. Vitamins taken.  So far my calories are 1200 cal, then I burned about 400 with exerciseI. I worked out for an hour today. 30 mins tae bo 30 mins treadmill. I would say that takes me down to 800 calories if I stop eating now which would be great, but im going to have about 300 calories for dinner. I would like to stop eating before 6pm, but I have not build up the strength to do that. That will be a long term goal. Right now I feel like my body needs to eat up until bedtime, or is that an excuse to eat more? Yesterday, I did try to get back on track, but I end up having MMs. Addictive lil creatures. I did okay other than that. I can not have candy in this house without eating it. Tomorrow is a new day and I hope I am back on track by tomorrow. I am doing the best I can right now. i know I can do this. I must add that I am pleased with the weight loss already. I don't want to be too confortable because I think thats when I start to feel its okay to eat like before. I need to understand that I can not go back to old habits because the weight will come back fo sho. I am not normal when it comes to food.

Your at a good place with 1100 calories net after exercise.  That's my minimum daily.  Less than that and my metabolism grinds to a halt. 

Don't torture yourself.  If your evening eating is not over eating relax.  Six pm to breakfast is a very long time; over 12 hrs for most.  I'm a night eater so I save dinner until late and split it in two for a late night protein snack.  When I scold myself for night eating its unplanned grazing that raises my calories for the day.

It will take time to develop new habits.  Do what working for you.  The habits you want will eventually come.  Think progress not perfection.
