B: hi fiber cereal and skim milk- done S: grapes L: left over broc, b. sprouts and stuffing S: hot tea with skim milk D: leftover turkey, 1 slice ww, veggies from yesterday's platter.
Exercise: 30 minute walk and yard work- it is so nice out and we still have some fall work to do. Ideally I would get to the gym, but I can tell I won't do that, so I am going to hang in here and get some good functional exercise.
What's your plan today?
Don't let leftover slices of pie and dolops of stuffing derail you.
I hardly ate yesterday and worked for 8 hours waitressing so yesterday was no problem. Today I had two lemon bars at breakfast, a burger and fries at the mall for lunch, and then a slice of pumpkin roll so not so good eating but walked a lot today, almost 7 hours in the mall up and down steps, etc and I have no desire to eat right now, too tired but I am having a glass of wine. I am going to the gym tomorrow, I wonder if they'll remember me, it has been a while!! Hope everyone had a good Thanksgiving!
As a side note, even though I am pretty much the same size as last year, my attitude towards myself has changed. I would go shopping and always would feel dumpy and fat. Today, I tried on some things and didn't feel that awful loathing that I used to feel. I think I finally like myself, regardless of what I weigh. This is a big accomplishment for me. I used to spend the day stressing over how I looked and today I was able to really enjoy the day and spending time with my sisters.

i am off track also.i was doing pretty well but a phone call with my mom hurt my feelings. and two bowls of ice cream with some cake later...but it is ok. i actually did not really indulge in anything on thursday so i figure, it is ok. the funny thing is...i did not even figure out why i had dived into the ice cream until i was almost done licking the bowl. if only i could engage in that "gee, what is going on here?" earlier on. i am going to try to abstain from further eating today, even tho it is early. i am not hungry, that is for sure. if i do get hungry, i will reach for an apple or pear. I think I will take the time to journal or speak to a friend about what transpired with my mom so i can get to the root of my loss of control. take a breath, sip some herbal tea and move on. tomorrow is another day to be successful. iz
Goals: 1. Stop thinking like a chronic dieter and start living to inspire. 2. HALT (hungry, anxious, lonely, tired) I will stop and tune in with myself should I experience these things, and respond with something healthy. 3. One word 2008: courage 4. Eat slow and mindfully.
I'm struggling a little. My whole day is off some because I had breakfast at 4:30am today. (I had to be at work at 5am.)
I ate my third reasonable meal of the day around 2, but have a long way to go before bedtime tonight. It's gonna be a bigger challenge than yesterday to not go crazy the rest of the night.
Life is like a roller coaster, with lots of ups and downs, but the curves, spirals, loops and corkscrews are what make life interesting.
B - Whole Wheat Bagel with Salmon CC L - Sandwich D - Salad with dried Cranberries, Feta and almonds S - Maybe an Oatmeal Cookies with a Hot Tea tonight...

I did not go too overboard yesterday, which was good. Today is looking good food wise.
B - egg white salsa and 1/2 oz cheese on a whole wheat tortilla L - creative leftovers: turkey quesadilla (shredded turkey, corn, black olives and 1 1/2 oz shredded cheddar on whole wheat tortillas, baked) I mixed equal amounts of salsa and homemade cranberry for a dipping sauce. D - will be something from the grocery store, most likely a weight watchers pizza My big indulgence for the day is a piece of cheesecake since we skipped dessert at Dh's grandparents yesterday.
As for exercise, I work retail and I am saving all of my energy to run around at work tonight.

No exercise for me until they look at my knee. But food wise, I am back on track. Just journaled breakfast, and I know what is for lunch. Getting back and staying back are not hard if you do it right away, waiting till the weekend is over, makes it tougher in my opinion.
It's never too late to get it right.

50 min elliptical, 40 min yoga, 15 min running with puppy. friday is typically my rest day from exercise so i feel energetic and great.
had my usual healthy breakfast: whole gr toast with ff cream cheese, raisens. at 11am, had pumpkin muffin with sugar free vanilla ice cream. that will be my one treat for the day. i will focus on veggies and perhaps some whitefish the rest of the day. i am still riding on the high of having the first thanksgiving where i did not overeat, and i really appreciate the support out there.

E: full body weight circuit (already done) plus an hour walk later this afternoon B: 1/2 a sprouted grain muffin with 1T of lite cream cheese L: we're meeting dh out for lunch but it's at a place with great healthy food. I'll either be doing soup and bread or a veggie wrap and salad (it depends on what the soup of the day is ; ). S: granola and an apple D: left over turkey, bread stuffing and veggies
