Accountability.. what did you eat Wednesday

I know, that is WAY to many calories!!! Unfortunately, that's not been for just ONE day. It's been a "succession" of days that I won't even attempt to number!!! There I said it!!! (Sort of  :o)  ) That's why I am hoping that posting and then printing it out "for all the world to see" is going to inspire me do better!! Fortunately, I am exercising pretty regularly, so I am not having a  problem maintaining my current weight. Problem is, I am not really "happy" with my  current weight!!  It's just all so Complicated!!! (Can you tell I'm a "drama queen"?) LOL Thanks for your encouragement. I appreciate all the support!!! Hugs,   Piggy

i ate a lot yesterday, i feel like a cow. what do you guys think? i'm gone from home on mon tue and wed for a good 16 to 17 hours and i don't normally eat this much. here we go: b: celery sticks with creamy peanut butter approx. 200 calorie and 7 grams of protein l: chicken cesar salad from the hospital cafeteria, supposedly 360 calorie 26 carbs and 21 protein for the whole serving, but i asked for xtra chicken and there was no way i was going to finish that whole thing. gonna finish for dinner. =) s: light & fit strawberry banana yogurt 60 calories 11 carbs and 5 grams of protein s: oreo crisp snack pack & wafer bafers 200 calories 32 carbs and 2 grams of protein d: the rest of the chicken only from my chicken cesar salad from lunch... lots a protein... yay s: small bag of cheddar harvest sunchips 210 calories this was my 16 hours day away from home, needed all the energy i could get.

You had a great day.. just over 1000 cals so no need to worry. some days I think I am eating like a pig than figure out I didnt do bad at all.. good overall choices throughout the day.. keep up the good work..

how exactly are you figuring out the calories? i try to use fitday, but sometimes can't find the correct food to enter. can you tell me how everyone figures out the calories, fat, carb and protein.... thx gina

I have a tough time with fitday.. I use spark people. it is pretty simple. you put it in and it finds it for you and you can change the amounts to a more realistic number.. such as 1 apple can be changed to .5 apple to get the calories for it. give it a try.. u can also put the fact in on the program of foods that arent in there and it will keep it for you so you can use it again and again.. another feature I like is you can put a group together.. like a salad with chicken.. just name it and you dont have to pull each thing up when you eat that..

Hope that helps

good day a little on the low side again but not to bad. keep up the good work.. What is body fortress... I see that all the time and have no idea what it is... hehehe.. see ya tomorrow.

Carla,  I don't think you ate enough...989 calories?...you are DONE losing and I don't think you can maintain with such low calories...I've been watching your posts for awhile and know the struggles you have faced but you need to eat MORE girl...you need to stay healthy.  Just my opinion... Here was my day: B: Turkey roll up - coffee w/sugar free creamer L: Chicken ceaser salad      1 piece of garlic bread - oops! D:  Fish taco S:  Turkey Roll up       Banana w/ PB       String Cheese Cal:  1355            Carb:  122         Fat:  63        Protein:  89 Worked out with the trainer...3rd day in a row!

I totally agree with you.. I am trying to get my calories up to 1300, but I have days I just dont make it. This helps me remember to eat because if I didn't do this board it would be a lot less. yesterday was a very low day for me.. i took a nap and missed a snack time.. it happens.. but I am doing better today. I havent been exercising like i use to so I have cut back some but I am watching the scale and I havent gained or lost any weight over the last few weeks.. so maybe I am getting the hang of the maintanence thing now.. well.. maybe...lol...

I do have some issues I am working on right now, but I am dealing with them.. you all dont know how much it helps me to see what you all eat so that I can make better choices and I actually do sit and look at each one to try an assimulate it into my diet plan too..

you had a great day and the numbers were great.. and the exercising is fantastic.. keep it going.. you are a rock my friend in total control of that ship...

Ok, if I missed a snack time I would of made up for it without a doubt!  LOL...I just want you to be healthy.  I really appreciate you doing this post and especially all your feedback.  I know it takes time from your life and I want you to know that I appreciate it.  Trish
