I wasnt that great over the weekend either. Had a big work project and ended up putting in lots of driving and 19 hours over my weekend and squeezed in a baby shower. Lots of food. I didnt go totally bonkers, but it wasnt good. Stress, driving and no time to workout. Back at it today. I did weigh in on Friday and had stayed the same. 227. Im hoping to lose one this week...maybe? Oh, who am I kidding? I'll be lucky to stay the same after the weekend.

trying to get back on track. i see my pcp tomorrow hopefully we can figure out why im not losing any weight. been 2 years since i lost anything. been holding on to 195 but will bounce from 202 to 195. no more over time at work so now we can go back to the gym....

You ladies have me inspired so I went to the grocery store and stocked up today.

Mary, can you tell me how bootcamp is?  I am 6 months, 3 weeks post partum and really out of shape.  My gym offers bootcamp but I am afraid to take it for fear that I will almost pass out dead.  Can you go at your own pace?  I am 30 and respond fairly quickly to rigorous exercise although this is my first baby...

eats for today:

eas carb control shake
small piece of cheese, 1 Oh Yeah bar (114 cals)
tuna cake (appx. 150 cals)
lunch:  100 cal whole wheat thin bagel, 2 slices turkey, i piece of reduced fat swiss
eas carb control shake
chicken breast with panko crust (not alot)

Do you ladies enter this into a program to get your calories?

Thank you!

Cardio: 2, 45 minute walks around the neighborhood with little boy in stroller

Water: 4, 20 ounce waters

I use MyNetDiary.com to keep track.  I have an app on my phone that automatically syncs to the website (and vice versa).

It has a bar code scanner so that I can just scan most major foods if it isnt already listed in their data bank.

For personal recipes, I use a recipe calculator (google it.  I use the one that's something along the lines of nutritiondata.selfmagazine).  You put the various ingredients in, then analyze based on either the whole recipe or per serving size.
