I'm away off to Calgary later this evening where I'll be dining on Subway sarnies most of the time. I might even pre-weigh my cereal and raisins to take with me so I can have a decent, healthy brekkie. I'm not sure if I'll be able to post before my return on Friday.
Hope you all have a smashing week!

Breakfast: 1 cup Optimum Slim cereal, 1 oz seedless raisins, ½ cup 0% milk. Late-Morning: Shake (6 oz banana, 2 oz bluberries, ½ cup 2% plain yogurt). Mid-Agternoon: 3 sushi maki rolls, salad (red cabbage, carrot, onion, tomato); 1 l water. Snack: 1 square Green & Black's 70% organic chocolate.

I woke up late but grabbed some lunch meat instead of making tuna.
I didn't goto the grocery store either
So far I've had a bagel, a bottle of water, yogurt, baked lays, a low fat ham and cheese sandwich on whole wheat. (no carrots today!) another bottle of water and now I'm eating a banana. I think I'm eating too much I feel like I've been eating every hour but today is busy at work and I'm stressed!!
Tonight we are doing soup and sandwiches because of trick or treating!
4 mini peanut butter cups, 3 peanut butter hershey kisses, 1 kitkat, 2 3Musketeers, and a fun-size butterfinger bar (all figured into my FitDay totals for the day!)
sandwich (ham, swiss, lettuce, miracle whip, and honey mustard on reduced-calorie white bread)
Smartfood popcorn
Special K bar
pulled pork and swiss w/wheat rolls
Total: about 1800 calories and way high in fat thanks to the candy

Reason: more candy!
Hope you are having a great time dishy and welcome home rabidstoat. Food has been good except fot that one "danish lunch". I would like to cut down or out the snacking that I do at my new job. There is tons of junk food everywhere. Part of my job is to replenish the candy dish with bags of candy I keep in my desk!!! So far I have been very moderate in my intake but want to cut it to zero and drink more water. I would like to commit to water only or one mini treat for tomorrow. I can't say I have been doing that well with exercise. I haven't been to the gym in 3-4 days. I am sure it is that success thing with the LMT. (Thanks for your post Jillybean) I am giving myself an extra week to finish up. Posting really helps.
It's funny, we have tons of candy at work too. And almost all of us are trying to lose weight. It makes no sense! I've finally weaned myself off the candy dish, if I want candy I go downstairs and buy a full candy bar. Sure, it's more candy, but it seems like eating candy. Otherwise it seems like I'm just 'snacking' and I'll eat like a dozen little ones.
But anyway....
Breakfast
Weight Control Quaker Oats oatmeal (tasted terrible! I'm thinking of giving it to trick-or-treaters )
Fruit and yogurt parfait from McD's
Lunch
Healthy Choice (whiskey grilled steak)
Snack
Small angel food smoothie
Dinner
7 oz tilapia, with a Thai peanut coating
1 cup couscous with mixed veggies
Trick or treat
Snack sized Snickers
Exercise: 30 minutes on the bike
What I watched: Show on prison boot camp
Calories: About 1600
And I still feel sick. It's a cold or something, congested, sore throat, headache, all of that.
Poor nutrition day today. Leftover Halloween candy, and being sick in bed munching on popcorn all afternoon, did me in. But calorie-wise, not horrible.
Breakfast
Lowfat yogurt with granola
Lunch
Chicken BLT salad from Wendy's, with croutons and LF honey mustard dressing
1 fun size Milky Way
Afternoon grazing
Entire bag of butter flavor popcorn
6 tootsie rolls
Dinner
Shrimp creole over brown rice
No exercise, feeling sick. Calories were around 1960.
Halloween
I listed my a.m. stuff.
Came home had the harvest mix, had the choc icing off a cupcake, ate a kit kat...I was so bad but not as bad as today
I am off work today...didn't go to the store until tonight.
I stopped at sonic for ds2 this a.m. and thought I get a breakfast tortilla oh and he'd like one too...and he loves hashbrowns too. Well he did eat the hasbrowns I had like 4. But he didn't care for the tortilla so guess what? I ate it 26 points basically right there.
I didn't write it down.
Had a sandwich for lunch- 4 points
ate a bagel
dinner had green beans, small serving potatoes and roast beef
I'm guessing I had 50 points
But I have gone to the store finally. I got all the things I need to succeed. So hopefully with the walk last night and the planned meals I will do good. I planned my meals with a meat, a starch and a vege for dinner(except tues)
Why I didn't go to walmart on sunday I'll never know but the time threw me off whack!
Ok, I'm back again. I've had a bit of a rough time, first the friend, then "suspicious tissue" on my first mammogram. Since it was my first, they had nothing to compare it too, I spent a few hysterical days waiting for the 2nd round, only to be told yesterday that everything is fine.
I'm not sure I'll ever get back the years of my life that I lost freaking out for the past few days!
The good news is, that although I did eat a little more than usual for me, I've stayed exactly the same on the scale, so I can just move on now. This is huge for me. Before this weight loss attempt, the month of October I just went through would have caused me give up completely and when I came to my senses - if I came to my senses, it would have been at least January and I would have gained something like 25+lbs. I can now honestly say if I could do it, anyone can!
Yesterday was a bit of a disaster. I was fine all day till dinner--chicken breast (good), pierogies (not so bad), soda (not diet!), and about 5 fun-size 3 Musketeers bars and 2 KitKats I've already started today off poorly--
cocoa puffs w/1% milk
handful of peanut butter Hershey kisses
handful of mini reese's peanut butter cups
I also didn't pack my lunch, and I don't feel particularly well today. I think I'm going to try to leave work early so I don't eat anything bad from the cafeteria and can go home and rest to prevent what feels like a cold coming on from slamming me!
