Part of my problem today is schedule - we ate breakfast early which meant an earlier lunch and snacks. My stomach was killing me and I was getting dizzy so I already had snack #2. I really hope I can make it to dinner tonight! If I really struggle, I will have a peach.
Plan for dinner: halibut, polenta and green beans; skinny cow and a glass of wine. Amended to say that dh sounds like he could use a really nice, relaxing dinner tonight so I'm working on presentation - polenta going into ring molds, slice of tomatoes in between layers and I'm going to use my left over ff apple cake to make parfaits with layers of yogurt and fresh fruit in champagne flutes.
Now I need to go up and put on a nice and sexy outfit ; )

Much more challenging staying on schedule and the added stress isn't helping either.
I did do a better job today but basically that meant eating lunch and snack alone. It worked because I had clients this morning so they knew is advance that we weren't eating together today. We also made early dinner reservations for tonight so that will help as well.
Tomorrow, I will follow a similar plan.
Thanks for the support that my timing issue isn't lame ; )
As for today, here are my actuals so far: Exercise: 4 mile run this morning in record time on the treadmill. I averaged 7.25 mph which is way faster than my usual. I then did over an hour of lower body, high weight speed work. I managed to squat 295 pounds today with the giant bands (95 pounds more than the last time I did it) and it was not a maximum rep situation so I could definitely could lift more on a single rep). I also did 135 pounds on the reverse hyper and also wasn't close to maxing out. It was certainly a good exercise morning. B: ww english muffin w/cream cheese L: ww tortilla with hummus, arugula, tomato and 1 slice of turkey, 1 oz of ww pretzels, 3/4 of an apple S: 1/2 slice of ww bread with pbj, 1 cereal bar
We had a change in where we are going to dinner tonight so now I know exactly what I'm having: Sushi and ahi tuna; 2 glasses of wine and possibly will share dessert with dd depending on what they have tonight.
Tomorrow: I'm going for a very long run. I'd like to shoot for a 2 hour run (regardless of distance) but we'll see how my knee holds up. I have my route planned out and now I just need dh to fix my mp3 player.
B: ww english muffin w/cream cheese L: ww tortilla with veggies and turkey, 1 oz of ww pretzels, a peach S/D: will be at my parents' house: some hors d'ourves for snack and then dinner will be smoked salmon; talapia w/veggies and some kind of dessert. I will hold it to 2 glasses of wine for the whole day as I'm driving home one of the cars.
I'm not too concerned about calories tomorrow as we live in a very hilly area and I can easily burn over 700 calories/hour running but I'll still be careful.

This does not sound lame at all. Seems like you know the source of the problem. Dh asked for lunch at 11AM today. My first instinct was to do it and just eat early. I knew, though, that I would be starved at dinner and unable to stick to my plan. (I was not hungry for lunch at 11-11.30 as I ate Breakfast around 8am. He ate at 6AM) I took a minute and decided to hold lunch until noon or so. He ended up going outside to water and was fine with waiting. Timing is a HUGE issue for me. Now that you have company, is it more challenging to stay on schedule? Maybe you can make some modifications so that your needs are met.
Saturday's plan: B: 1/2 cup cottage cheese, strawberries, decaf with 1/2 & 1/2 L: chix sausage, onion, ww tortilla, spicy carrot slaw S: watermelon, grapes & pretzels D: date night so dinner out, but I will make the best choice
90 Day Challenge Goal: 8 glasses water and post plan and actual daily.

Saturday plan: B: English muffin w/almond butter, fruit smoothie S: Chai L: Pesto pasta, salad w/tomatoes S: Grapes, veggies w/carrot and beet dips from KD's 2nd book D: Pork and red peppers w/thai sauce on rice noodles S: Cake w/blueberries Exercise: Planned day off
I'm not doing well at all today : ( Hors d'ourves went OK. I did eat more carrots and broccoli than anything else but still ate more than I should have.
I did fine with sticking on plan with dinner but after my concert, came home and had more wine and 1 oz of tortilla chips : ( Not what I needed to do at 10:30 pm the day before we have a planned dinner out.
