Okay, I need to get back in the habit of posting here:

Today:

S: oatmeal breakfast bar, coffee
L: 3 bean salad, hard boiled egg, NSA fudgesicle
S: bean brownie, skim latte
D: deep dish spaghetti squash Italian pie, green beans
S: Greek yogurt with blueberries and toasted almonds

Yesterday was okay, but DH came across a dark chocolate stash I'd hidden and forgotten, so I had some of that last night.

The scale is slowly moving back down. Have to keep this up! I realized I wasn't writing everything down, little things like scoops of PB weren't getting listed Now that I'm back to logging EVERYTHING I'm behaving better.

B: scrambled egg, broccoli, Refrieds, & salsa
S: applesauce
L: leftover bean stew (not sure which one is in there but I know something is!)
S: babybel, doktor kracker single serve
D: either lentil stew or chili
S: Greek yogurt & berries

Exercise - WATP DVD using weights, 20 minute yoga DVD

Just threw out the darned Skor bits! Weight is going the wrong way and I need to buckle down.
B. Spinach, milk and strawberry shake with flax seed
L. turkey/veg soup, yogurt and cuke salad
D. Stir fried something - probably chicken
I am feeling weak and tired today so am NOT going to do any Christmas baking or goody making until I hit a strong day!

The place where I used to post this isn't doing it anymore, so I'm joining in here.

B: raisin bran with skim milk
S: yogurt with SF jam and 1/4 cup ezekiel cereal
L: kale and cauli bake with LF cheese, black-eyed pea cake with lt. sour cream (forgot dessert today...might treat myself to a mocha spice latte light at DD)
S: banana and 2 T PB
D: Salsa/Black bean soup and quesadilla made with WW tortilla and lt. cheese, salad
S: 1 cup NSA ice cream, SF hot cocoa with 2 T lt whip cream

Exercise: 32 mins elliptical, interval setting

Serious buckling down happening in our house! DP was told to decrease her protein and watch her salt so she is back to logging everything too and has set a goal for the month. The scale was kind to me this morning and stopped before 140 for the first time in weeks. I really hope that, even if it goes back up, it's a harbinger of things to come.

Today's plan:
B: refried beans, 2c broccoli (I have been a broccoli fiend lately), 1/2 serving rf cheese, salsa, coffee
S: may not need it but if I do I'll grab a clementine
L: leftovers, probably the bean kale stew from a few days ago
S: carrots & PB hummus
D: black bean pumpkin chili (wow, heavy bean day. good thing I have a sturdy digestive track!), salad
S: gingerbread with applesauce

exercise - yoga DVD, Walk Strong DVD

Yesterday was on plan for the most part. I only did yoga because my calf was killing me - must have overstretched on a lunge a couple of days ago. It feels better today, so back to the cardio!

B: whole grain pancake with homemade apple pear sauce & Greek yogurt, coffee
S:clementine
L: leftovers, probably 13 bean kale stew again
S: PB hummus & carrots
D: Quorn roast, chick pea artichoke heart curry, collards
S: Greek yogurt w/blueberries

Exercise: walk, arm weights & stretches

S. V8 before I go out for lunch
