I'm doing well on water. Unfortunately, I am not going to get much exercise in today because I ate lunch at my desk (due to a doc's appt) and am going to a meeting after work tonight.  I will try however to park far from the meeting site, and run up and down the stairs at my house a few times before heading up for the night.

So far today I have had....

B - Starbucks doubleshot
L - protein shake
S - grabbed a piece of ham
D - ham and cheese slices

I had a busy day yesterday

Hi Everyone! I just joined the group to get back on track! Thanks so much to the leaders for starting this, and I am so grateful to have found it. I neeeeeeed it. Only 8 months out, and already, I need it. I'm not too far gone... just slowing down a little, but I've started to see some old habits trying to creep back in, especially over the holidays, and I need to get my head and heart back in the game!! I can do this...

So... here it is... day one "back on track"...

B: weight conrol oatmeal made w/ nonfat milk
S: CLICK made w/ 8 oz water and 4 oz nonfat milk (and a tsp. of SF raspberry syrup - YUM!) 
L: protidiet protein bar and an individual serving of NSA cinnamon applesauce
S: a bite of salsa jack cheese and a bite of tuscan cheddar cheese (literally, there was like a bite of each left.) 
D: 1 cup of a casserole that I made... kind of a spin-off of Eggy's double-dip chicken casserole, but with shrimp and crabmeat instead of chicken - lots of veggies (zuchhini, mushrooms, artichoke hearts, onions, a pkg. of store bought spinach dip, and salsa... topped w/ italian blend cheese)

Unfortunately, I haven't gotten my exercise in yet, but I'm about to do some time on the Wii Fit here shortly... as soon as I kick my kids off it! lol

Have a great evening, everyone!

Today I did 25minutes of exercise, and I also bought a new DVD to try later this week.

Today I also met my goal to write down what I eat. Overall, not bad choices except for the large blueberry muffin that I bought even though I didn't need it. At the time I was thinking about my sister (and we're fighting right now) so the muffin seemed like a good fix at the moment. WTF??!!!!

Oh that reminds me, I need to document that incident in my emotional eating log. (yea! another daily goal met!!)

1 HOUR OF ZUMBA!!!

My day didn't go exactly as planned.   I was up early enough to take care of my volunteer work on-line while drinking my protein coffee, then time for shower and call PCP and see if I can get in to see him  Won't go into details but on anti's for bladder infection now.

I had endocrondolgy app't before that and now am scheduled for ultrasound and biopsy of cyst on thyroid.   Did my grocery shopping and realized that I hadn't ate anything today!  I did have my coffee and water.

Made it home put away grocery and grabbed 2 pieces of string cheese and a small banana while heading out to PCP.  Took forever at PCP of course and had to stop at Pharmacy.

Called DH and explained to him how to get supper started, well needless to say he didn't listen and I couldn't eat any of it!  So I am back to scratch again.   Clean up from his supper and just enough time to clean out volunteer mail and give an on-line class on treatments for Copd.

Grabbed a protein shake cause it is better then nothing.  I am way short on protein and calories today and it is darned near bedtime!  Will probably have either cottage cheese with sf raspberry jam or oatmeal with protein powder.   I hate days like today and I am usually much better planned!

As for exercise the closest I came was getting to and from Dr office from parking structure.  And the fact my PCP gave me a hand out on resistence training to incorporate into my new routine.  They aren't much but it is 2 levels and geared toward those who have other health problems.  But he says it is a good place to start, along with treadmill and wii fit.

I will do better tomorrow and I will not let my cupboard get this bare again!  No I didn't trust myself to stop at convienience store or grocery for healthy something.  I was too hungry and I have to step away from fast, easy and empty calorie!

Thanks for posting the tread, I have to admit I didn't do much of anything today except run back and forth in the house... I have 1 dog that is sick and 2 that just had babies ooo and I baby sat my great niece so I've kind of been busy but not like exercising type busy... lol

~~Pre-Breakfast: 3 cups of coffee w/cream
