Last two weeks - POP, masterfully controlling my calories, kicking my own butt at exercise - net 3 lb gain.
This weekend - Horrifically off plan, one day at calories over 3000, including alcohol, the other days a little above average with zero exercise...net 2 lb loss. And I already rehydrated, so its not that I don't have as much water in me. I'm not exactly complaining, but boy, it'd make it a lot easier to stick with my plan if the plan worked and going off plan didn't.
WTF.
B - Eggs w/ zucchini, 1 tbsp cheddar cheese, scrambled. 1 slice toast, homemade strawberry jam.
S - Watermelon and strawberries
L - Grilled chicken, grilled zucchini, watermelon
S - Greek yogurt pop
S - Protein Shake
D - Salad w/ grilled chicken, grilled veggies, lots of greens, light dressing
S - NSA Ice Cream, strawberries
E - 60 min cardio, 60-70 min strength (probably split into two sessions due to meeting schedule).
Okay, June 1. I am on a 30 day no excuses plan. Jeans are tight, scale is creeping. Time to stop the madness. (the sad thing, it's not even really madness, no big splurges, no sleeves of girl scout cookies)
So, I actually got on the treadmill today. The first time in months, so I took it easy (normally I get all gung ho, hurt myself and give up). 2 miles, 200 calories.
B - Trader Joe's fat free Greek yogurt with honey, 6oz blackberries (200 calories)
L - big salad - romaine, red cabbage, carrots, grape tomatoes, 100 calories diced ham, low fat honey dijon dressing, 70 calories of crunchy spicy won ton strips (500 calories for all?)
S - tall latte (100 calories)
S - honey mandarin (100 calories)
S - string cheese (100 calories)
D - home made pasta sauce over 2 oz whole wheat pasta (500 calories total)
Amanda, that happens to me sometimes too. It's like, hmm, if eating pizza and ice cream made me lose 3 lbs overnight, maybe I should do it more often! Oh wait...
Wednesday:
B - raisin bran, strawberries, blueberries, skim milk
L - leftover baked ziti w/veg
S - banana
D - chung king chicken w/green beans over rice
S - "rice soup"

Sigh. Day 2 OP, day 2 with a gain (this one semi-expected, because I did have to take a painkiller last night, and that does lead to instantaneous gains lately, plus my workout yesterday was really, really intense).

S - WW LC Tortilla, cream cheese, turkey roll up
L - Leftover chili w/ veggies and red beans...mmm. Sarah makes KILLER chili.

D - Grilled chicken and veggie fajitas over mixed greens, topped with a crumbled corn tortilla, salsa, 1 tbsp FF sour cream
S - NSA Ice Cream, 1 tbsp low sugar apricot jam I'm canning today...mm.
Yesterday came in exactly as planned, kashi go lean crunch as my evening snack. Woo hoo!
Today has been odd, some gastrointestinal distress this AM.
L: leftover seitan, veggie & rice stir fry;
S: pb&j pre-workout, fruit
D: pasta with red sauce & peppers
S: kashi bar or cereal with fruit
