Somehow I managed to come out of the weekend with no weight gain. That won't continue if I don't buckle down, especially with Thanksgiving on Thursday.

I plan on being very veggie heavy for the next three days and no alcohol or dessert.

Plan for today:
B: usual
L: chicken salad wrap
S: veggie soup and fruit
D: hopefully some fresh fish if something looks good at the market and 2 veggies
E: kettlebells

monday was super, now i am feeling good about tuesday!

I too found out my gym is open Thanksgiving morning from 7:30AM-12:30PM. We are not having dinner until 4PM, so, I have plenty of time to get in some good cardio in the AM, maybe a weight workout too if I feel like it.

Mostly on plan today. DH threw me for a loop when he called needing a ride to the DMV at lunchtime (he usually walks to work). We got lunch at a cafe nearby while he waitend for his number to be called -- which took an hour. So lunch was a hummus and veggie sandwich instead of sushi. For dinner, I added broccoli slaw to the menu. Had an intense workout with my trainer this morning, so I'm feeling back on track.

I did pretty well today.

1.25 hour workout w/trainer, we did upper body weights and abs

Breakfast(which was super early this AM): 1 cup total w/skim milk

Later morning: 1 serving Turkey sausage/bean/carrot stew that was leftover from the weekend

Lunch: Tortellini/tomato/spinach soup(kd's recipe)

Dinner: "Fried" chicken(from Cooking Light), and roasted asparagus and tomatoes

Done eating for the night

Crappy day for me. Ugh!
My effort now is not to bash myself and to get a good working plan for tomorrow.
Here it is:
B: toast, jam, pear
L: leftovers- already portioned.
S: milk tea
D: pasta and some leftover veg/meat from the weekend.

I cooked a good amount of meat this weekend for our guests- lots of meals, lots of guests. I am eating it over the next days, but plan to get back to my more veganish eating soon...
I feel better eating "veganish" but am also enjoying some turkey and beef ; )

Excellent day for me.

I'm still feeling hungry so I'm brushing my teeth and heading to bed. The kitchen is CLOSED!

i had a great one hour and 10 min workout this morning.
b: chicken and brown rice soup.
s: sf low fat yogurt
l: squash soup with turnip greens
d: maybe a soy corn dog, small sf ice cream

i am fighting faituge due to TOM. hopefully, i will be able to get to the gym tomorrow. just found out that the gym will be open in the morning on thanksgiving so i have no excuse not to get some physical activity in.

Today I rededicate myself to the challenge! The weekend (starting Friday) was a bit of train wreck from a calorie and quantity perspective. I am, however, going to give myself credit for staying away from the chips and brownies my teammates brought to the race and offered to everyone.

But back to Monday -- had Kashi cereal with walnuts, raisins and rice milk for breakfast. Planning sushi for lunch; fruit and a cheese stick for afternoon snack; and turkey burgers with sweet potato fries for dinner.
