I'm in big trouble today and have severely grounded myself. It all started last night when I was having a little talk with myself ... the never-ending "girl, you know what to do and how to do it, so why the frap aren't you doing it???" And all of a sudden, I answered myself (outloud, mind you, which could have been embarrassing if anyone else had heard me) ... "It's late, I'm tired, and we'll talk about this tomorrow." To MYSELF!! OMG, I am going to start having to name my multiple personalities, I guess!
So I'm on liquids today. I had a glass of milk for breakfast, a Vanilla Slimfast Optima shake for lunch, and will have more milk and maybe some broth for dinner. I have to somehow get my attention and get serious. I've tried being nice, and being stern ... and nothing works, so now I go for a day's worth of punishment. Maybe I'll learn my lesson after this.
Hee hee, you've gave yourself a time out I see. I'm familiar with those.
Let's see - my menu...
b: puffed wheat with strawberries
l: spinach salad, bites of baby's mac & cheese (mmm)
d: Something wickedly delicious at the German restaurant. Just kidding, I'm planning on lean steak, sauerkraut, veggies, diet soda, no dessert.
Kat lol I did that in front of the guy who was fixing or assessing my scooter you are in such good company!

2 coffees with sweet and low and 1%

D - out at a restaurant - no idea a hardish choice but will research.
I think I will walk anothr 1/2 hour today to make it one hour and use some AP tonight. I am hungry now.
Kathy - glad you had a serious "talk" with yourself!...but I don't like the idea of "punishing" yourself! Not a good plan....celebrate your successes and learn what you can and cannot do - no such thing as a "bad" food!
Rememberm no such thing as failure - it's only "feedback". Hope the liquids day works for you!
I too am starving today - eating way off schedule? and not enuf h20.
Blanch a few cups of brocolli (dont forget to peel the stems and slice them too)
Let cool
Put 2 t olive oil in a frying pan and add a couple of cloves of garlic and just a touch of those tiny hot peppers (JUST A TOUCH)
Fry up nicely.
Put the brocolli in there and toss it around and heat it up.
At the last minute throw in a bit (say quarter cup) of ff cottage cheese. Toss it around and serve it on ww pasta.
I was up a pound this morning. That is entirely unacceptable and the wrong direction. I either need to do something drastic or give up, and I'm not giving up!
I had a wonderful supper - one of my favorites! (did I mention that I love smoked salmon).
Had 1 slice of toast, shmear of lf cream cheese - a few slices of smoked salmon, some radishes, onions and cucumber on the side.....then more smoked salmon,...then just a bit more! (did I mention how much I LOVE smoked salmon?)
Still a bit hungry around the edges - but no more food for me! Very tired and hoping to go to bed early!
Kierie - we were on a cruise last August - where they had UNLIMITED SMOKED SALMON ON THE BREAKFAST BUFFET - guess where you could find me? I thought I had died and gone to heaven (and it was good quality stuff too)...with bagels, cream cheese, sliced red onions, capers and tomatoes - all there to garnish your plate!
What could be better than eating yummy smoked salmon? Eating with a view of the gorgeous ocean right outside the window...sigh.....
