Accountability - Thursday

No espresso this morning..I went shopping early to take advantage of a sale..5 pounds of bacon and 4.5 pounds of sirloin steak later..I'm at work! For my lunch I walked a mile in 20 minutes..not bad..but it's alittle warm out there for walking (87 degrees) so I quit after one mile. A really exhausting day! Deadlines, vacations coming up (for other people!) and just non stop drama!

8:00 am 1 oz monterey jack cheese, 1 pc ham deli meat

Well, not my finest hour I guess. The steak I bought this morning was cut so thin, it's impossible to make it medium rare..it's tough..so that's all I could eat and I doubt I really did eat that much..I'm thinking that steak is better suited for the crock pot..

How did you do?

I  went for a nice 3 mile run after work ,I needed it since I ate off plan today. It was in the 70's here; just perfect! The rain is coming back again tomorrow. I have been asking myself" when did I turn into that person that there is always something going on?" Homelife has not settled into a rythm yet with work, school,hubby getting ready to deploy etc.. and work is totally upside down. I do not need perfect order in my life but a semblence of order in one or the other would help! I just look at others and their struggles and remind myself again of all I have to be grateful for. I am done complaining/venting.
0800-oatmeal w splenda, boiled egg, veggie sausage
1000-4 red vines, mini tootsie roll
1200-chicken florentine soup and an apple
1430-slice of chocolate cake at good bye party
1900-2 slices of papa murphy delite pizza
2100-nsa skinny cow
all my water and such
I am really glad tomorrow is Friday.

You and me both on the Friday thing! I'm WAY ready for a weekend right about now. A semblence of order would be nice..Some days I have barely a toe hold on that stuff..other days are down right boring with the sameness of it..I know what you mean about looking at others and seeing how much worse it could be..I'm happy as a clam with my own little struggles, that's for SURE..

You did really good. I'm waiting for the perfect weather but we rarely get that..it's either too darn hot or too darn cold..Either way, I'm not taking NO for an answer with my walking. It just feels way too good.

Keep up the good work. See ya.

 
hi dawn and all,
i didnt walk yesterday since it was raining... i hope its nice today so i can walk...

here is what i had for thursday!!

2- 16 oz . coffee

B- 1/4 c. fake eggs
4 slices turkey bacon
1 sara lee rye thins

32 oz . water

L- 3 1/2 oz. hamburger
1/2 c. green beans
1 boiled egg
1/4 c. instant rice

32 oz water with pink lemonade packet

D- 1 tilipia
2 oz. homemade french fries
1/2 c.  Broccoli

16 oz cold tea
16 oz. cold tea

S- 10 saltines
colby cheese

1 c. oatmeal and skim milk   

I've already decided that when the weather turns cold and windy, I'm bringing a water proof windbreaker to work and leaving it..along with a hat and gloves..I have no excuses...If I have a walking buddy, I'm gonna walk (and she better walk with me or I'm gonna give her such grief!).

You did great..I love homemade frenchfries..You ROCKED the fluids today..awesome.

I've been saying for a while that I need some rye thins..I just crave pastrami on rye with swiss cheese lately.

Keep up the good work. See ya.

 ha .. when it gets windy and cold here i dont think i will walk as much. yes i like homemade french fries sometime but they are fried in oil and not baked as they should of been. 

I do mine in oil too..Fat isn't always a bad thing. You need it for your skin and hair..it's a good thing occasionally..I'll probably not walk as much when the weather turns cold either..I'm hoping I'll have more intestinal fortitude than that but ... we'll see how my resolve sticks when it's cold and blowing out there..
