sigh.. I gained (alittle but argh) First time I went off plan since 1/6.... I had a coke as my tummy was not happy last night and that is what our family does to get the icky out and thru the system. It tasted sooooooo good (sugar yowza) but it was just a one time thing and it helped me. LORD the sodium in that coke yikes!
Back on plan I hope everyone is doing great!

Had my cheat meal on Friday, which was sushi. We do it every two weeks for pay day. It was good and I kept it just to that one meal. Back on track since then and had a drop to my new lowest weight
Need to get back to working out consistently again. I didn't work out at all last week due to the fact our shower was broken and I just didn't want to make myself sweatier than I had to. The week before I did really well though. This week I want to be more consistent with my exercise.
@StephanieM, I wish I could do a cheat meal. I would go crazy on peanut butter and Nutella. I'm craving it worse than a drug addict even though I'm nearing the 3 week point. All I need is a jar of each, fresh bread, a toaster, and I would be the happiest camper on site but I plan on sticking to this till I'm at goal, then having a buckwild day of sugar and carbs, then back to maintenance.
California, it used to set me off for a long time when I had a cheat meal but I do better with them these days. And I still count my calories on that day so that I make sure I'm not eating too much. Since it's usually sushi for lunch I have chicken and steamed asparagus for dinner since it's low calorie and low carb.
Bobbette, it actually isn't snowing for once! Ever since we had that big dump in October it's been non stop winter for almost 6 months now. It's actually sunny today but was -13 earlier. I like when it gets nicer out, since it motivates me to be more on plan with exercise and eating.
Still can't get rid of the extra pounds I gained while on vacation I'm planning another vacation in June, so I need to learn to stay on track while traveling. I don't know why I go crazy eating everything in sight and then pay for the consequences for weeks after I get home. I should know better by now.
prettymom Vacations are hard, because you let your guard down and have fun. That's what it is for to relax... But I bet you ate better than you would have if you had not started this healthy eating?! It will go away.. as they say.. you would have to eat more than 3500 extra calories in order to gain a lb... so most of it is water and that does go away.
I can't do cheat meals anymore either, because it turns into cheat day, then cheat weekend, then it takes an entire week to get it all back off. But I find I'm not really craving anything this time around so that helps.
The whoosh fairy has smiled on me and I'm down 4 pounds since last week - happy dance!!!
I'm having a good week. I've stayed on plan so far. I had to go out to lunch today, but I resisted all carbs.
One of my neighbors is a photographer, and she offered to do a portrait session for me and my kids for free to celebrate that I'm done with the cancer treatments. I'm sure the pictures will be beautiful even if I'm heavier than I would like to be.
Bobbette..... Oh so good for you getting 4 lbs down from last week. I am jealous... but so very HAPPY for you.
Prettymom.... That is so nice of your neighbor and so proud of you to go thru those treatments. That takes so much strength of body and character. You are amazing... and avoiding carbs at lunch icing on the cake!
I am back down to 279 Yeah.. I like the lower decade... I should be good tomorrow too as I never ate lunch today (learning for a new job). Looking forward to a salad and I am cooking up some flavorful and fatty bratwursts... I am craving salt... oh oh

Crap..... back up to 280 STRESS water is sticking to me. 1st day of the brand new job and it did me in already. Tho I only had 1 food off plan Low carb tortilla... Still only did 22 carbs for the day. Lets hope the water goes away
Love the Yo Yo LOL Back down to 279.5 . I realize how much stress my type of job puts on me. Which I know helps me retain water. My feet were swollen last night when I got home and I work in an office and did not move much (so no pounding and me feet don't swell when I walk my 2.5 miles... so it must be stress). Something for me to remember!
I hope everyone is doing great!
