I guess I'll start it off this week. I'm very happy about my new size in clothes as you can see from my other thread. But I also just got a call and I didn't get the job I had interviewed for last month. Oh well, something else will come up. I just want a new job that is more appropriate for me by the time I get my Master's in December. Regardless, my current job is sending me to San Fran for a conference do that's great, too! Anywho, my plan for the day:

B - pumpernickel toast with PB
L - roasted herb chicken with broccoli
D - two fat free hot dogs on buns with mustard
S - can of light peaches after practice

Fitday total: 1066

Exercise - 2 hrs of rugby practice - ouch! Especially since I ran an 8k this past weekend!

Arggh, I've been so out of the loop here (in fact, I've been out of the loop everywhere except at work!) I'll be soooooo glad when this damn project is finished so I can get back to my real life! :dizzy: Its getting pathetic ~ the dog only knows me as this shadowy figure that walks her in the dead of night, G murmured "you're home early tonight" when I crawled into bed after 1am on Friday, and the kids have commented on how much more room there is at the kitchen table now that they've removed my chair! :(

BUT there is a light at the end of the tunnel! No more extensions can be granted and I'll be done with this by the end of the week! I'm then taking a weeks' vacation ~ not going anywhere mind you, but will sleep, learn the names of my family again and RELAX! :cool:

I've done well foodwise the last little while, except that I went to a bridal shower on Saturday and started off with fruit and veggies, but ended up with wine-based punch, too much cheese, potato salad and cake! Oh well, today's a new week and so far so good. :carrot:

Good work on fitting into a lower size, Suzi, and don't worry about the job. You didn't get it because a better one is out there waiting for you to find it. ;)

Don't stress out too much about shopping for new clothes, Ali. I know it can be a bit daunting to be faced with so much more variety to choose from and not having to shy away from colours, patterns and fitted items (did we all wear solid coloured ~ usually black ~ and shapeless clothes when bigger?) I'm sure you'll come home with some cute clothes and feel great about it (next thing you know, you'll be looking forward to buying a new bathing suit). :o

Monday
Morning
100% whole wheat english muffin
1 tbsp. peanut butter
tea
Afternoon
bowl of 1% cottage cheese, sliced strawberries, banana, grapes and blueberries
bottled water
Evening
still at work (duh) but have President's Choice vegetable couscous (high fibre, low fat, low calorie, high protein), an orange and bottled water on hand
Planned Late Evening
Timmys coffee with cream

Exercise: What's that again?? :(

New week! Today's been good so far!
B: 3 eggs & 5 small sausage links.
L: Didn't have any, although I snacked on two slices of ham.
D: Making South Beach friendly Chicken Cordon Bleu for me and my b/f

*exercise*
Going to get 40+ minutes of cardio in, and 10 minutes weights/crunches, and MAYBE try Pilates. Boyfriend doesn't get off until midnight, so I've got loads of time!

Okay, I'm behind in posting. I tried to hold off a McD's french fry run by posting about how I didn't want them but.. it backfired. Oops! Sunday still was okay calorie-wise, just not nutrition-wise. But, I'm definitely a size smaller now, and 2 sizes almost, so that was encouraging. I did notice my clothes were sort of falling off me...

Sunday
Breakfast: 1 cup potatoes o'brien in 1 tsp olive oil, low sugar oatmeal, Morningstar breakfast patty
Lunch: "Fake steak" fajita with salsa and LF sour cream
Dinner: Large McD's french fries and a McD's fruit and yogurt parfait

Calories: About 1725

Monday
Breakfast: Some raisin oatmeal and a no-sugar LF yogurt
Snack: 5 wheatsworth crackers and 1 wedge light laughing cow cheese

Snack: Boca meatless chili
Dinner: Wendy's chicken BLT salad with LF honey mustard dressing

Exercise: 33 minutes exercise bike and 20 minutes weights
Calories: About 1400

First exercise in, um, a long time. I was motivated by receiving my newly extended passport in the mail, and remembering my upcoming trip to the Yucatan around Memorial Day. Gotta get in shape for that!

Weird - I maintained my weight this week. I've been playing rugby a lot and I ran an 8k this week, so perhaps I'm gaining more muscle than the fat that I'm losing because I feel slimmer but the scale said otherwise. or maybe I need to eat more to compensate for rugby? I don't know. Oh well - onward to next week.

My plan for the day:

B - 1/4 c egg beaters, 2 sausage patties, 2 small pieces of bacon
L - grilled chicken sandwich with baked chips
D - not sure, will update later

Snack - banana before practice

Exercise - 2 hrs of rugby practice

Lunch: Healthy Choice grilled whiskey steak
Snack: Hershey chocolate bar, and baby carrots with fat free ranch dressing (not at the same time! :))
Dinner: "Fake steak" fajitas with LF sour cream and salsa

Exericse: 20 minutes on the exercise bike. That was effort on my part, as I had a long 10-hour work day and a 16-hour one today (Tuesday), and I just wanted time to vegetate with the computer, but I made myself do it.

Hi, I'm here!! I'm still struggling w/my food, but I did manage to loose a pound last week.

I learned something interesting from the new trainer today, even though I technically burn the same amount of calories w/my normal workouts vs. the interval workout that he set up for me, it's still more intensity. I thought I was losing my mind because I felt really hungry the days that I did interval, last week on those days I almost ate my desk! Then it happened again yesterday and I thought this can't just be mental. He said it totally makes sense! Isn't the body amazing?!

Unfortunately, yesterday I didn't handle it that well and went over on points, well today's another day.

Here's yesterday...

2 - coffee
1 - egg whites
3 - luna bar
2 - soup
5 - zone bar
1 - ww 1 pt cake
4 - rf coffee cake
3 - cold sesame noodles
3 - tuna
2 - mayo
2 - ww bread
28 points (out of 24)

Exercise - interval training: 15 mins ARC+11 mins treadmill+10 min bike+10 mins eliptical = 520 cals
Weekly calories = 920/2,000 goal

Have a great day everyone!

Low Sugar Oatmeal
1 Banana
1 cup Pineapple
Orange
Orange Juice
3 peanut butter crackers
Santa Fe Beans and Rice
veggies with ff dressing
Green Beans
9 point whole wheat sandwich
ff potato chips
calci yum sundae topper
(It was a hungry day!)

I went to the gym and worked the elliptical for 25 minutes and on the recumbant bike for 15. My goal is to get to 60 minutes of cardio for each session. One of my friends used to be a trainer and she said to switch machines after 30 minutes because in people who are new to exercising or have not in a long time have the issue of injury. She said the rate increases by 60% if you stay on one machine for more than 30 minutes. Anyone know if that is true?

I WANT TO BREAK THE 250's by March 22!!!

It's Yet Another Business Trip for me, which meant a hideously long day, exhaustion, planes trains and automobiles, and a poor food choice because 'I deserve it.' Ugh. And I got sick on all the candy!

Wednesday
Breakfast: McDonald's fruit and yogurt parfait, and a Morningstar breakfast patty
Lunch #1: Small frozen meal of tandoori chicken with spinach (at 170 calories, it seemed like a healthy mid-morning snack)
Lunch #2: Healthy Choice stuffed pasta meal and a Kozy Shack 'no sugar' chocolate pudding
Snack on the plane: TGIFriday's potato skin chips
Dinner: 6" turkey and cheese at Subway, on Italian herbs and cheese bread, with light mayo (that bread is 50 extra calories but sooooo good)
Snack: A small bag of Smarties (American-style, the little tubes of candy, about a dozen of them!)

Calories: About 1650

So, not so bad on calories, just, 300 calories of candies probably wasn't needed, I could've had fruit or, heck, even baked chips to go along with it, for better nutrition. But oh well. I hate business trips, I swear, I hate disrupts to my routine, though I go on about two a month.

L - chicken taco salad with pico de gallo for dressing - yum!
D - grilled chicken sandwich with side salad

Exercise: Ellipitcal for 1 hr plus some weight training hopefully

That's interesting, Beth. Personally, I wouldn't worry too much about exceeding your WW points a little whilst ever you're still losing. Better to eat healthily and maintain your energy, than to deprive yourself, IMO. Have you considered cycling your points throughout the week, so you have a few more on days of interval training, and a few less on others?

You're doing great with your brekkies, Cathy. Making a positive change in one area does tend to make one more aware of other things that could be improved. :) Don't forget, you don't have to do everything at once. I'm 11 months in, and there is still plenty of stuff I could do better.... :lol:

I know very little about exercise, Darlene, so I can't answer your question. That would be one of the things I could put more effort into....

Weds 15 Mar:


500 ml coffee with 2 tblsp. half & half.
Zone bar.

½ cup 1% cottage cheese, 2 small slices w-w bread (toasted), raw broccoli & carrots.
Starbucks bold roast with about ¼ cup skimmed milk.

5 oz tuna steak, 1 cup multi-grain flax pasta, asparagus, broccoli.
½ cup 2% plain yogurt.

Exercise: 90 minute walk.

Coffee.
Zone bar.
Cereal, raisins, 0% milk.
Cottage cheese, w-w bread.
Fruit & yogurt.
Fish with veggies, w-w couscous/rice/pasta.

Friday's business trip ended up with a 3:30 am wakeup call, a flat tire on the rental car, finding out that my cellphone disappeared in the past 24 hours, and then missing my flight. I hate business trips. I'm home, finally, and just hibernating this weekend save for the few commitments I have. To my credit, I bypassed fudge at the airport...

Friday
Breakfast: Auntie Anne's salted pretzel
Late lunch: Amy's organic frozen meal with a cheeseless enchilada and other Mexican stuff
Dinner: Chicken fajita, with salsa and LF sour cream
Snack: Some grapes (3/4 cup?) and a few strawberries

Calories: About 1325
Exercise: Nothing really, though I did spend about 15-20 minutes walking, with luggage, from a remote terminal of the Atlanta airport to baggage claim, instead of taking the little tram. My effort to sneak in walking, plus I was still so angry about the flat tire, I needed to calm down even after the 3-hour flight.

Friday:

Egg Beaters
Ketchup
1 Cup FF Milk
Smart Ones Lasanga
Green Beans
Apple
Banana
2 Tbsp Olive Oil
1 Cup White Rice
Spam Lite
Kimchi
Calci-yum sundae Topper

I worked out for 55 minutes: 25 on the elliptical, 20 on the treadmill, and 15 on the recumbant bike. I was really excited with how much I worked out.
Saturday morning the scale showed me close to my Wed. borthday goal.

:( :p :^: :mad:
Then Came SATURDAY........(scary music plays in the background)

I ate:
Egg Beaters
1 cup FF Milk
Tuna Sandwich
French Fries (Yup I could not resist....what was I thinking????)
Then I had to go to a formal party:
I took the night off from dieting I ate one plate of food off the buffet and one salad plate with no salad on it.....per se
I also had cake and ice cream and.....two glasses of wine
:( :^: :p :mad:
I did however go to the gym and work out. I go on the elliptical for 25 minutes and the recmbant bike for 10.
I got on the scale and it said a two pound gain since yesterday? I think part of it must be water from the restaurant food.

:D Sunday is a NEW DAY!!! :D

Hope you're feeling better this week, SAPF. :goodvibes:Thanks, Fishy!! I really am. I've learned to take the Protonix on a FULL stomach. When I took it on an empty one, um, problems ensued! I have lost a bit of weight, as I'm finding my seat in the car is too far away from the steering wheel now & my clothes are looser. I'm not sure about numbers, but I feel better, too.

Trying to be vegetarian all the time is hard, so I've relaxed on some things, like Parmesan cheese, and I enjoy my green beans with a smidge of real bacon bits, although I am now all out. I wish I could find 'facon' bits that do not have hydrogenated oil.

My mornings at work are pretty basic. Weight Control cinnamon oatmeal is a godsend. Water & snacks & a usually healthy lunch. Fat free saltines & cinnamon granola bars for snacks & cups of decaf tea. Good stuff. :^:

Well Sunday ended what I have now officially deemed weekend from %@$#! I blew it today as well and did not plan in advance for the dinners. Let me write what I ate and please let me know how I did.

Sunday I ate:
egg beaters
1 cup ff milk
sundae topper calci yum
small wrap with roast beef and vegggies
FF pringles
piece of birthday cake
1/3 of a subway sub
a few ruffles full fat chips
Salad with blue cheese dressing
victorias filet mignon
steamed veggies
glass of red wine

Was it horrible or not that bad....I guess if I said no to the birthday cake and the ruffles I would of done better....but I ate it.

I know my goals are further off now but I am going to make an extra effort to plan for the upcoming parties this week and birthday dinner out.

Okay, Saturday was at home. Finally. At last. And very unnutritious though... I ate some fruit?

Saturday
Breakfast: Nothing, slept in and was lazy
Lunch: Burger King angus burger
Snack: 8 oz orange juice (had a craving!)
Dinner: Homemade calzone, mmmm, sausage and cheese and veggies
Snack: Luna Bar

Calories: About 1500
Exercise: 21 minutes on the bike, 5 minutes weightlifting -- coincidentally, the time it takes a calzone to cook. :)

I've eaten a lot worse than that at times over the last year, Darlene! Sure, the cake and chips weren't the best choices, but you know what? One or two off days aren't going to ruin your efforts, unless you allow them to. Don't forget it takes 3500 kcals to make a pound of fat. I think you're wise to plan for the other parties you have. After all, Proper Planning Prevents P*** Poor Performance! :)

Good to see you're feeling better, SAPF. :yes: Love your NSVs. :cp:

I've been on pretty much the same plain(ish) stuff every day. I thought I'd be bored with it by now, but I'm actually enjoying it; even the 1% cottage cheese has grown on me! I'm sure much of it is because I haven't been wracked with pain every night, and I'm attributing that to my blander diet. My only variations have been a handful of unsalted nuts here, and a Starbucks non-fat cappuccino there. Hey, they're better than the full-fat lattes I used to choose! :p

Sat 18 Mar:


500 ml coffee with 2 tblsp. half & half.
Zone bar.
113 g pot BioBest raspberry yogurt.
Large apple, ½ cup 1% cottage cheese.
1 tblsp. natural PB on a small slice toasted w-w bread.

4 oz sole, 2 oz (dry weight) w-w couscous, asparagus, broccoli, snow peas.


Exercise: 2 hour walk and lots of shovelling snow.

Well, I knew that I would be bad on Friday and I was...1 too many margaritas :) Then Sat, I was hungover and didnt want to cook so pizza it was...but today I tossed out the remaining pizza (after 1 piece for lunch) so I wouldnt be tempted to eat anymore. Man, I hate to toss out food though, but I knew it was for good reason. Anyway, got back on track today :)
