Good Morning Botts:

 

It is a beautiful, chilly morning here in my home town.  I did not get my work out in yesterday.  First day I have missed in 16 days. I was busy doing other things that I thought was more important than taking care of me....My eats and exercise for today are:

 

Breakfast:  Coffee & Miralax

Snack:  Quest Brownie Bar

Lunch:  Spaghetti and Garlic Toast

Snack:  Quest Apple Bar

Dinner:  Chicken Salad on Mini Rolls

Snack:  NSA Ice Cream Sandwich

 

Exercise:  Walk 2.5 miles in my neighborhood today.

 

My menu is a little carby today but I will be on the protein train better tomorrow.  Have a blessed day and remember the vits and fluids.

Good afternoon Tess & BOTTS,

It's been a while...been stressed out and pissed off with my new job.  So, I've been taken it out by eatting a lot of the wrong things (pizza, stuffed pizza bread, fried Chicken, fried donuts from the asian take out) etc.  I cleaned out the fridge about 2 hours ago, threw out all the left overs, threw out the cookies too while I was on the phone venting to my brother. 

So lets keep it really today, my eats so far today:

PreBreakfast: Ice Coffee with 2 pieces of stuff pizza bread

Breakfast: Ice Coffee

Snack: Ice Coffee

Lunch which I just finished eating: 1 Cup of Grape Nut Cereal with Almond Milk

Snack: 2 Apples

Dinner: Protein Smoothie

Snack: Protein Drink

Work out: 30 minute work out with 10 minute workout...not really happy with it.  I'll go back to playing Wii Tennis tomorrow.  Cleaned my apartment and did three loads of laundry.

Still need to get some water in today!

Hi Wanda:

 

We all have weeks like that some worst that others.  We all have more practice eating away our stress then finding other ways to deal with it.  Just keep coming back and keep trying every day.  Eventually you will get where you want to be, it is all about the journey.

Thanks Tess.

Tomorrow a day off due to the holiday.  My plan is to try to eat right all day and get out side for a little while for a short climb.  I live across the street from Fort Tryon Park and from the rain last week there's no more snow.

Have a good night.

Hi all

busy studying and doing work, too much to do as always!

b: 2 scrambled eggs then walk dog 30 min and swimming 30 min

s: Greek yogurt with tsp honey, later a venti cappuccino at Starbucks (sadly addicted)

l: four mini meatballs in mushroom sauce, 2tbsp of sweet  ppotatoes

s: 3 mini Swiss chocolates with coffee , then tea

s: 1 cup mini tomatoes, cucumber, 6 small black olives, 1/4 apple with tbsp peanut butter. 

dinner will be chicken of some sort and broccoli 

i'm starving today, I could snack all day, but I think it's mostly head hunger from studying.  I find I want I snack when I study because truly, it's not exciting material and it's work related so it's like being at work on a dy off...bummer.  I can relate to the others when I am po'd about work I have little control over my desire to eat so I really have to be vigilant and not let my emotions rule

Thanks for posting this thread, it's always inspirational

Hi Susan:

 

I think we all have that emotional need to eat when we are stress.  Maybe you could add some nuts, fruit or low cal hot chocolate to take care of the extra munchies that you feel today.  Take care.

Evening Tess and Botts,

Very cold here today but not much snow so that's good. Going to try not tracking on Saturday and Sunday and see how it goes. I tend to be on the go a lot and losen the carb rules on the weekends. I hope it doesn't bit me on the but!

See ya Monday!

Maybe if it bites you in the butt it will take out a big enough chunk that you will go down a pant size.

Hey, whatever works!
