keeping it honest...

you and I have a LOT in common! I can't do the "what are you wearing" posts. It gets boring typing, Jeans, T-shirt, etc daily lolol. Lodging smodging -stick me on the beach sans crabs of course, and I'm a happy gal! I wanna goooo too

yesterday was ok for me too. B~oatmeal pancake w/sf syrup L~lettuce, shaved deli turkey, cheese, croutons, ranch strawberries w/cool whip~YUM! D~few nacho chips, LOL, with lean ground beef, refried beans and cheese S~banana w/pb had 1 mini s/f nestle crunch bar~YUM! 100oz water Tracy B 328/162/150

Looks GOOD!

I wasn't so good: b: oatmeal with some protein powder and a cheese stick s: cottage cheese, 1 slice low calorie bread with the tinest amount of peanut butter on it l: ate the chinese buffet (well not the whole thing), soup, chicken, veggies, 1/2 egg roll s: 1 slice low cal bread with cottage cheese and peanut butter s: my son wanted chinese so off I am to a different chinese buffet, ate crab legs, shrimp, a few bites chicken, the crunchy whole green beans (I could make a meal off them), a little soup, a few bites of the veggies and a bite of a crab meat thing and a couple bites of sushi (or whatever it was they had rolled up in rice), but I probably burned up whatever calories they had in it trying to cool down from the wasabi I put on them! Sounds like a lot, but you know crab legs don't have a whole lotta meat in them and the shrimp were small. Anyway, later on watching tv, I had some cabbage (I eat the slaw mix that is already shredded when I want something crunchy, so I eat it raw) and a couple pickles. Have no idea of calories, but as long as I maintained and didn't go up a pound, it is a good day! Today I have had a low carb tortilla, cheese stick and egg. I haven't planned the rest of my day yet, have to travel to do a closing for some woman buying a river lot for cash (makes me sick) in about 45 minutes, so don't know what my lunch will be like. angie

Tsk tsk lol...really I do believe self-talk can doom us. I wasn't good. How about, it wasn't good, instead? I know, silly, but sometimes how we word things, even to ourselves can make the difference in how we feel about ourselves. Ya know? I hope you have a great day today!!!

Nah, I really don't beat myself up about it. I don't feel that my eating was out of control in any way. I ate the lower calorie options from the buffet and egg drop soup, so I didn't make bad choices, it just feel like overeating when you go to a buffet twice in one day! But I do love chinese and the crab legs they have at the one place I go to. Update on the rest of my day. I had 1/2 cup cottage cheese and about 4 pork skins. I just got through eating a Lean Gourmet frozen turkey thing which said it had 130 calories and one slice of low cal bread. Calorie wise so far today I am only up to about 480. Angie

Honestly, I don't think your day looked bad at all I am glad you don't beat yourself up - so many seem to. Makes me a bit sad. Do you do the dried pork skins or the fresh (pop em in the micro kind)? I'm sooo nosy lol.
