monday was extra super dooper! so far, tuesday going very well

Today was 100% on plan plus I skipped snack as I was busy and just not hungry.

friday was super. saturday was pretty darn good, considering i was still pretty tired. sunday was great except for some cake. dd made me cake. i was so touched since she had been such a SNOT to me all week. i ate it just as a gesture of gratitude and love. i am not even a cake fan at all, believe me. i would have much rather had brownies or ice cream.

this morning, back to running 8 miles. some chest and back work, and this brings me back to focus for the week!

have people read the article about Kirstie Alley? or seen her on Oprah? comments?

Friday was 100% on plan
Saturday was about 95% on plan

Today - not so good - we had ice cream for dinner. The only good thing was the rest of the day's calories were in check and I didn't finish the ice cream and gave it to my dh.

Back to normal eating tomorrow!

I had a 6.1 mile walk in the park today.

It's nice to see green again.

I swear! It is when I post my goal for the week that everything goes south .

I did ok eating this week but I did not get back to the Y after monday. It was first one thing and then another every morning (& I only have the morning to myself).

Oh well, there's always next week.

I had hoped to go to a Pow Wow and see my artist friend this weekend but I don't think it will happen. No money for gas, admission and eating out all day. I am hoping things will be better in the finance department next month.

At least I no longer have to worry about TOM

this has been a tough week with the TOM. i have stayed on track with eating and exercise but it is difficult to rest properly. the motrin makes me bloated, which makes me pee every hour...try to get good sleep when you have to pee every hour.

last night was the worst. i maybe got 4.5 hours of sleep (not good quality though). i got in one hour of exercise this morning but i did not put much effort into it. right now, i am ready to fall asleep on my desk and drool over everything.

i have a pet adoption fair tomorrow which allows me to run those dogs for 3 hours (good exercise.)

i have been staying pretty much on track so i remain confident. confident and sleepy.

Weekend goal: Be very careful with sodium intake. I normally do not add salt to most foods but I am really experiencing some serious water-retention, which is mostly related to TOM. Also, I want to get to the gym 2x this weekend.

I'm still right on track with food & exercise, and down to one more final before I take to the couch for the weekend. The scale is slowly going back to where it was last Friday, maybe I'll be back on track by Saturday.

I ran off the rails for a few days but got back on track yesterday. Due to the constant rain we've been having, I kept procrastinating about getting to the grocery store. Not having the right foods in the house...and not having my usual prepared lunches...led in large part to my running off the rails.

I was pretty happy with the my food today. I do wish, however, that I had skipped the 240 calories of graham crackers after dinner. UUGH!
My day was low in calories though so that my total calories for the day were just 1440. Not bad- but given that I am up in weight, I need to stay the course.

I was good exercise and calorie wise today but not good nutritionally. I made some poor substitutions (i.e. lf ice cream instead of yogurt and fruit for snack).

Definitely not the on-plan day that I was looking for.

Tomorrow I may be going out to lunch after hospice and need to make a good clean choice.

yesterday went well. i had a nusiness networking thing at night, which i hate to do on school nights. but i had a few raw veggies and called it a day.

woke a bit bloated this morning, and then TOM came knocking...which explained the tummy sche earlier.

each month, TOM is coming earlier. perimenopause, i suspect.

M/T went well but I'm having some GI stuff going on. Seems to be getting better though.

I'm still up a few pounds, but given my activity levels over the weekend plus how careful I was about food, I'm thinking it's salt related (Chick-fil-a yesterday and a late night snack didn't help matters). Hopefully I'll be back down tomorrow.

I'm still trying to be good, but it's getting tough between still trying to make up for sleep lost over the weekend and worrying about finals this week. Tired & stressed = snack monster attacks for me.

Congrats Laura!

My goal for this week is to get to the Y every day. It is supposed to rain and be stormy all week.

I got there this morning in spite of the rain.
Lifted 3,070lbs (increased my reps by 1) and walked 2 miles (that is 3 laps beginning and ending and 4 laps between each machine).

Weighed in for Team Lean, down .6 lbs .

I had a good food weekend, for the most part. I think salt, guesstimate portion sizes, and some later than normal meals shot my weight up a little bit, but I did manage to eat more organic than not, and only ate one true restaurant meal all weekend. (I packed some food, was at a picnic after the race, and stopped at Whole Foods twice for sandwichy and salady stuff.) So I doubt I did any real (ie lasting) damage in the end.

this weekend was much better than last. i have two late nights this week but i am not worried. i feel confident .

My goal is to get back to writing my food plan and sticking to it.

I've been out of town for most of a week and I need to find my MoJo again!
