Accountability... what did you eat Saturday

good night nurse, flame yourself if need be but the rest of us are just trying to get by. What we think about your eating shouldn't impact you what so ever, it's your life you have to live it as you see fit. Just so you know, every once in a while giving your metabolism a jolt is a good thing not a bad one. Live life free and happy. ANDI

Yes it is good for the system to kick it once in a while. As the scale showed this morning .. no harm done with my day yesterday so I can live with that.  My problem was not eating any dense protein making me feel unfull all day.  I will correct that problem today. Have a great one. Carla

you're back on the band wagon and doing awesome, that's what this is all about! Have an awesome day and remember how blessed you are. ANDI

You eat what I should eat but you did snack more than you usually do...But it was sugar free stuff...Psh. You ate 6 SF Sandwich cookies. I ate nearly that much today too but since it was the crumbs in the bottom of the bag, I'm not feeling bad so much as wondering why I did that rather than eating soy nuts that at least have protein in them. and you STILL ate less calories than me. Call the professional cow if you really wanna graze (me).  Breakfast:  Malto meal, soy milk, wheat germ, protein powder (28 grams of protein) Snack: I figure a serving of sandwich cookie crumbs and a 4 oz Dannon yogurt cup, plus 1/8 cup of soy nuts to get me home from a funeral Lunch: 5 oz of a ground beef steak shared at Denneys(more than half), mushrooms and gravy and a side order of coleslaw (figure 1/4 cup) Dinner: Salmon fillet on 2 cups of romaine lettuce with shredded carrot, half a roma tomato and soy ginger dressing.  Dessert: 2 more sandwich cookies. Those are really good. Maybe I shouldn't get more of them. Totals:  Calories: 1705 Fat:82 Carbs 130 Protein: 123

You are so funny.  I watch your intake each day and you just keep loosing and you eat more than me.  I eat and I gain.  drives me nuts.  I dont know who is more lucky.  you are me.. cause you cant stop loosing and I cant stop gaining.  I wonder sometimes if I do that just because I eat so low and should I eat more... see the rationalization in my thoughts..lol..  YOu of course had a great day.  love the protein even without your soy nuts.. you did good. Keep it up Carla

I want to climb Mt Whitney this fall and I need to get conditioned so I need to start exercising for real. Once I start using the calories that I'm taking in, I'll start putting on muscle and therefore putting on weight...Scares me to death. When that number starts climbing, I'm gonna be a basket case but I really do want to climb Whitney...

I could not log on all day yesterday so I am late.  I went on hike and worked my butt off.  It was about 24 degrees out and it was a 2 plus mile hike in the snow.  Very refreshing,  I was doing the same hike in nicer weather and something about doing it in the snow and cold really was a harder work out.  After that we went to soak in the mineral baths and had a winter picnic.  So I basically was in the cold for five hours (in and out of the mineral baths for 3 hours)  I could have eaten better.  I tried putting a scoop of protien in my oatmeal but dont know if I will try that again.  Here is my food intake:

	Cals	Fat	Carb	Prot
Oatmeal, cooked, instant, fat not added in cooking ( 1 cup, cooked )	226	4	39	9
Maximum Complex ( 1 tablespoon )	130	1	2	28
Milk, cow's, fluid, skim or nonfat, 0.5% or less butterfat ( 1 cup )	86	0	12	8
Coffee, espresso ( 4 fl oz )	11	0	2	0
nut and grain bread ( 2 serving )	260	8	36	10
Egg salad ( 1 large egg )	235	23	1	7
Fish and chips (frozen meal) ( 1 meal (5.5 oz) )	310	14	33	13
Salami, dry or hard ( 2 slice (3-1/8" dia x 1/16" thick) )	84	7	1	5
Fuze ( 1 serving )	20	0	4	0
Tims Chips ( 0.5 serving )	70	5	8	1
Total	1431	62	137	81

I was going to hike again today but it warmed up too much and it is pretty slick out there.  Mpre protien and less carbs today!

Welcome aboard.  I see you are still trying to reach goal.  I would think if you up that protein and watch those carbs you will be sailing right.   cant belive that egg salad has that much fat in it.  wow.  Keep up the good work hope to see you posting daily. Carla
