B- tea and some protein shake.

I have a little orange.. lots of water.and maybe some chicken broth for dinner

Krista..

Sorry to hear that.  That sucks.  I've been sick all Christmas too. Luckily I'm on the mend. Feel better soon! And I hope your family is feeling better quickly too.

Thank-you. Glad to hear you are on the mend..Krista..

The worst is being sick over the holidays. Your heart and mind want to do all these wonderful things and your body has other plans.

Feel better.

Hope you feel better soon. I am just finally feeling human from a sinus infection. I always feel at this imte of year I do not have time to be sick! LOL

Morning Barb, it's amazing how just doing stuff around the house can be a real workout. It's snowing again this morning in Picton so I might get out and shovel my father's driveway.  I'm also supposed to go out with my stepmom and hit the sales so that should add a few steps to the day.

Lots of leftovers today, and I'm not going to be at home as much sitting near candy and stuff so hopefully it will be an easier eating day. Yesterday wasn't too bad either.

Good morning all!!  Merry Christmas!

Haven't been tracking in a few weeks but if anything I eat less not more when I don't track.  

Down 80 lbs now and 27 pounds from goal (150).  Thinking of resetting itto 135 or 140 (blows my mind completely).

I had 2 'episodes' that I am reflecting on of autopilot binging.  One was on birthday cake served Christmas day.  I cut a small slice but ate it too fast, wished I was more mindful and enjoyed.  Then ate the mushy bits on the cake knife.  Then left the kitchen to talk to niece and nephew (proud of that strategy).  Then cut another small slice and ate with fingers on my way through the kitchen to leave (tired at that point and hungry again).  Would have been better to make and save myself another small plate of dinner.

Yesterday, didn't eat enough again and after a nap was hungry and thinking of a slice of dark chocolate orange.  My partner doles them out to me when I ask but I don't know where they are hidden.  I come across a bag of chocolate chip cookies and another of marshmallows (stale) and eat 2 of ea*****uick succession.  Have been somewhat pleased and disappointed that I don't appear to be a dumper.  Not entirely true -  probably because I ate more sweet than I have in a long time and also as I had nothing else in the pouch - I dumped (gas, cramps, nausea for about 90 minutes).  

Trying not to be too hard on myself, trying to reflect on the before, during, after.  Worked out yesterday and will go running and ice skating today so calories probably not an issue.  Its the autopilot that's disturbing.

The mindless eating is one of my major issues. I am getting better at recognizing it and not reacting but it has been a fight. Congrats on all the weight loss. Remember that as you reach goal a couple of treats will not throw us off . I find the guilt the biggest problem because with me it seems to make me eat more.

Good morning everyone!

All the holiday decorations have been put away and today’s mission is to find an alternative to my premade Premier protein shakes. After 2 cases of chunky shakes, I can’t stomach them anymore. Suggestions are appreciated.

B-Oatmeal with ground flax seed

L- 1% Cottage cheese and Ketchup

S- Plain Greek yogurt and cinnamon

D- Extra lean minced turkey and diced tomatoes

S- Skim milk latte
