Getting it honest..

Well today turned out pretty good. I've been losing my wedding ring lately - it just goes flying off my fingers...so I think I'm not shooting to lose 10 pounds lol. I really LIKE me as I am right now. ok...well mostly - I don't think I'll ever truly be satisfied with this bod - no matter how much I were to lose. sigh...well anyway - how'd your food day go? Moz Cheese sticks Strawberries Spaghetti, (mostly meat and sauce) made w/ the Barilla Plus thin spaghetti. I really LOVE that stuff! Not 'low' carb, but higher in protein; green salad w/ maters and cukes and cheese. Sharp Cheese Spread on panetini (I am soo loving this lately lol). Cheese and caramelized onion omelet popcorn Calories: 2039 Protein: 73 Carbs: 180 Fiber: 34 Net Carbs: TOO DARNED MANY lol I'm ok with this calorie-load. I think 1900 makes me 'happier', but 2000 is ok. I won't gain on that at least! Hope your weekend has been a good one! Hugs, Toots

Nice to see you are liking yourself! That just means that there is hope for me. I haven't really be concentrating on my eating like I should. I was a little behind yesterday. Unstructured days kill me. Waffle with peanut butter and 1/2 banana Chicken Enchilda Soup....I just love mexican Chicken Swiss and Bacon 1/2 sandwich at Paneras Protein shake Midnight snack....yogurt with trader joes Granola flax seed mix...(Pumpkin flavor version) Plenty of fluid....I think I drank the day away. Not a bad thing. I still trying to find my happy number as well as me....I don't know about you but this journey has opened up so much on me. I need to start focusing on one thing at a time rather than analyzing everything. Its snowing today so I will work on the resume first! Eating is becoming very secondary for me these days. It could be good or bad....I haven't totally decided which it is... Enjoy! Debbie

*I think I drank the day away. Not a bad thing.* So THIS is what keeps that smile on your face Debbie!!! Perhaps I should give it a go???

LOL....I drank a lot yesterday too! Not sure my back is liking me after all that shoveling. How are you fairing my twin? Did you take up drinking? Its definitely harder to keep with a program on Saturday and Sunday. Even the vitamins get off track Debbie

I hear you on the unstructured. I do MUCH better on weekdays when a schedule is kept (mostly lol). Snow? Dang - I hear a LOT of places are getting hit. We've got sunshine...want some? Just don't send me snow!

I was having a grand day (except for food****il I was told that my sisterinlaw (and her child) invited herself to dinner with us. *sigh* This woman and her toddler pluck every last nerve I have. ANYWAY... 1. 1 slice of wheat bread, and some cheese fashioned into a grilled cheese sammich. The first I've had in almost 2 years. This was the reminder I needed about why I don't eat bread anymore. BLEH. I was so queasy, I had to lay down for awhile, and it felt like there was a bowling ball just sitting in my belly. 2. 1/2 an apple, and 1/2 cheese stick 3. the other 1/2 of apple and cheese stick 4. popcorn at the movies 5. I just picked at my delicious dinner, because screaming toddlers are not good for my nerves - one bite of chicken, one shrimp, one bite of thai noodles, 2 bites of water chestnut, bean sprouts, 3 bites of coconut ice cream (I ADORE coconut ice cream) 6. 2 sugar free chocolate covered pretzels - my final downfall of the day.... they made me sick *sigh* Ya know, after reading that, it sure doesn't look like I got many calories in. Michele

Nope - looks like your doing better with food though I love cheese and apples!

Coconut ice cream?? What brand and where do you buy it? Is is No Sugar added? We go to Scottsdale at least once a year and perhaps I can pick it up. Thanks Debbie

The coconut ice cream was at my favorite Thai restaraunt, Thai Lhana in Phoenix. Most Thai places make their own. It's not sugar free, hence the reason I only allow myself three small bites. Michele

I simply love your posts You say what I feel and am too afraid to write in public! Wishing you happy Valentines tomorrow.
