What cha eating today, VSGers? - Friday

Hi everyone,

I'm up early, so I thought I'd get this started. 

I did better with my eating yesterday, and I am hopeful I can get back down to goal weight again.

I made the chicken with sun-dried tomatoes yesterday, and I'll assemble the buffalo chicken spaghetti squash and the chicken salad today. 

breakfast - salmon

lunch - chicken with sun-dried tomatoes

snack - finish off the crack slaw

dinner - chicken salad with peanut sauce over spiralized cucumber - yum

I send my best wishes to all of you.  Keep the faith.  We can do this.

The spaghetti squash is a great food.  It's like a pasta without the calories or carbs.  Its a different texture than pasta, but its enjoyable.

B - protein bar

L - salad, 2oz Chicken

D- shrimp, asparagus (may change if I can talk hubby into grilling something) 

S- bar

exercise - rest day, as kiddo's and hubby are home. 

Water - on track

vitamins, not yet .. Oops 

offically down 10 lbs off my 27 pound regain... Only 17 more to go!!

You are doing great reducing that re-gain.  You are inspiring me to keep at it.

best wishes,

Carol

Thank you for the kind words. It's a whole lot hard to re lose the weight than it was to lose it the first time lol

I watch the Dr A videos that he posts on here... I think after I tackle the regain, I will start trying for a normal BMI of 25. That's what he uses to determine what goal weight should be. 

Im at a BMI of 29 now. I use my Wii to weigh and it tells me the bmi lol 

Boy, I agree with you.  Sometimes when losing 3 pounds feels so daunting, its hard to believe I lost 225 not that long ago!  I get really tired of feeling deprived.  Evenings are the worst - I end up having a glass or wine, and/or a snack, and I blow the calorie intake for the whole day. 

But this has been a stressful week.  So I'm trying to give myself a little slack.

I think the important thing is not to give up.  We are in this for the long run.

best wishes,

Carol

happy Friday! From 222 (regain of 42lbs - boo, I am down to 218 this morning. Gotta keep this losing happening) Today is only a 10 hour work day then it's date night!

B shake in coffee

L tuna salad on lettuce, hard boiled egg

S cheese stick

D; its date night, so we are going for Mexican. My favorite! This may be difficult.

V&W on track.

So glad you are down 4 pounds.  You are on your way! 

When I get Mexican food, I order the fajitas without the tortillas, and eat the meat and veggies with a fork.  Then I take half of it home for another meal.  Its tasty and still on plan.

You can make this work.

Thank you! I have been feeling like a bloated mess lately. It's bad. I can be so good and then one slip and I gain it back.

Great idea for that meal! I am drooling thinking about it.
