I had a really good day yesterday, and woke up 1/2 # heavier than I did yesterday. Not a good way to start the day.
I got in a good run, got one assignment done to turn in for school, and have had a good food day today. Oh, and my RD told me to chill out (again ) because she didn't think that I deserved all the up days I've had recently. Here's hoping tomorrow I see a good drop on the scale.
Life is like a roller coaster, with lots of ups and downs, but the curves, spirals, loops and corkscrews are what make life interesting.
Monday was good but not totally great. SO brought home this sweet potato candy thing that was super tastey. I had that after dinner.
today --an unplanned birthday celebration at work . i had one slice of tiramisu cake (only the cake portion--no cream cheese). i had a good workout this morning--at least.
Goals: 1. Enjoy life! 2. Be aware, be awake, pay attention. 3. One word 2010: faith

After my initial amazement of only gaining 1/2 to 3/4 pound from 4 solid days of eating in restaurants, I am actually down today below where I was when I left for Virginia! WOOHOO!
So my goal for the week is to keep it on plan and keep doing the longer walks that I've been doing with Missy...and maybe even to finally work in one of those dratted DVD workouts.

Work stress continues. My food plan dropped off the planet after hitting the South Pole, and just kept on going. For some reason I haven't gained weight, but I feel like I might start gaining at any moment.
Plan for this week: just get through it.
****************** “The older you get, the tougher it is to lose weight because by then, your body and your fat are really good friends.”
Saturday was good, except for eating about 200 calories too much for dinner. I was still within range for the day, but the fact that I ate 200 extra calories (usually reserved for snacks in the AM & afternoon) that late in the day really cost me seeing a - on the scale Sunday AM.
Yesterday I did okay, but my whole day was thrown off some by eating out at one of my favorite places (and was my planned splurge before the snack monster hit friday night). I did eat far less than I could (and wanted) to, and I waited to run after dinner, but was still on the high end of my calories for the day. (If it weren't for my run last night I would have been really upset with the scale this AM.)
So far, so good today, but I'm back in my normal routine and have every intention on pulling out the beck cards as soon as I get home from school, to hopefully ward off the potential for end of the day issues.

ACK! I just realized that I have eating out plans for lunch M/T/W, dinner out TH and S and Easter brunch! WAY too much eating out for me!
So, the plan for the week:
1. Eat super clean while at home with zero variation off plan.
2. Double up on veggies at dinner and skip the carb that I would usual have with the meal
3. Increase the exercise every day
4. None of these meals will be worth splurging for except Easter.
5. Plan for meals out:
M: veggie wrap and salad, dressing on the side for both the wrap and salad (this is from our local lunch place and the veggie wrap is lettuce, tomato, onion, red bell peppers and some avocado)
T: at the organic market's cafe so it will be salad with grilled salmon or soup and a small salad
W: we're doing a day trip and I don't know where we'll end up for lunch but I will do my best to stick to chose the healthiest option available.
TH: Pizza - 1 slice of veggie-lite on the cheese-thin crust plus a big salad
S: At the ball game - I heard that they added a healthy eating food court right behind our seats. I'll see what's available there but if all else fails, I can get a veggie 6 in. no cheese, no dressing from Subway.
Out of our beliefs are born deeds; out of our deeds we form habits; out of our habits grows our character; and on our character we build our destiny.
Since I don't count calories, I sometimes get inattentive, and overlook the obvious. My "little snacks" of toast and peanut butter come at a cost of 290 calories a slice.
The snack monster waited until last night, when I was too tired to fight. The Guiltless Gourmet chips that I bought for the first time (with the best of intentions) are going to the garbage as soon as I get home.
I was so overtired last night that I fell asleep on the couch about 9pm. I haven't done that since I was 10.
Today has started off well, right back on track.

just to give you a multi-media experience...i was singing to the tune of "ding dong the witch is dead, the wiched witch, is dead is dead." from wizard of oz (thinking of the snacking monster)
i have a box of frozen crunchy delites in the freezer. i suck all of the chocoalte coating off, and throw away the vanilla center (AS IF that makes it better!) HA!

Let's not get too excited, there, Iz! It was just one night.
I had a great day, foodwise, and will be about 1500 calories under for the day just from my training run. My total calories for the day were great, and I got my earned Klondike. (But I had to "chase" Jillian Michaels for the last two miserable miles of my long run. She just refuses to give me the #@$& ice cream if I don't finish. )

Big hugs, Jill. I hate that stage where things have gone kaplooey and I have to claw my way back.
Laura- great job resisting. When I am in a resisting mode, I try to remind myself that I am building up the ability to resist- kinda like weight lifting.
I had a rough night staying away from snacking, but I got a bunch of school work done. Between that and the mug of tea that I made, I survived another Wednesday night without giving in to the snacking monster.
