Today I weigh myself and I am happy to say that I lost 1.4lbs I try to keep my weigh-ins once a week and Friday its a perfect day since I have the weekend coming and then regular week days to recover lol.
Today will be hard, I won't work out but I will deep clean my whole house, so that should help a little... Also we are having a late lunch at my in-laws and anything they cook it's full of oil or fat... Might eat a few bites just to be respecfull...
During this week I came to the conclusion that food is not that powerfull anymore... I do remind myself that that side of roasted potatos in heavy sauce its not worth 360 calories for a few bites, that I can make something tasty, healthly and fulfilling for the same amount or less
Sorry for the long post.. Here are my numbers for yesterday:
B: 208
L: 350
S: 131
D: 372
Total: 1061.
Cardio: 635
I've been in the low end of my calories so I know I need to get at least 1200 if not a little more... But I only get crazy hungry around 6pm and I know that if I grab something I will probably binge... So, right now my diet is very high protein and mostly veggies so I truly get full with only those calories... I am afraid of PB or almonds because I could eat them non stop lol... So, I know I have to add more calories, maybe I'll have some fresh veggy juice to help me get to my goal...
breakfast: cheerios with 1% milk: 350
s: grapes: 130
cookie (the last of those devils thank goodness) 260
nutella on a bagel: 300
strawberries: 60
snacking: 100
1200 for the day.
I was looking in the mirror and realized how much slimmer I am...it was super hard to stave off a binge after that!!

I definately messed up this weekend after my mom-in-law sent my husband and I a giant care package filled with easter sweets. Well, I have acknowledged that the last two days have not worked out, and so now I have to start all over. Once I get through the month with all smileys on my card, I'll make sure to do an extra two days so that I can stick it out.
Here's today's menu:
Breakfast: Kashi, Banana, Milk (300 cal)
Snack: Apple (100)
Lunch: Salad (50), Cheese (100), italian dressing (100)
Saturday went pretty good, with a total of 1356 calories.
Sunday... not so much. I didn't keep track or counted my calories. I hosted an Easter party and I cooked all day and I ate here and there... Not sure how much I ate but there were a lot of carbs... lol
Today I am back and ready to keep going. It actually felt pretty good yesterday not worring about calories and enjoying time with friends and family. I can live with 20-30 bad days a year as long as they are here and there
Cieloarge and librarygirl- Well I guess I am among good company, I also messed up over the weekend. I felt so sure I was ready to stay on plan and keep counting. I did not count calories either saturday or sunday.
Overall it was what I will call okay. I didnt keep track, and I am sure I was in the range of 2000+ at least one of the days, but it could have been so much worse and I actually was really good about portions, but not good about choices. I am determined to make thias entire week without missing counting a single sip or morsel of food that passes my lips.
Oh on a happy note, I did have my first weigh in today and I lost 1.6 lbs. I was hoping for a better first week (since usually 1st weeks can be the best) But after the weekend I am just happy that I logged a loss.

Hi all
I'm still here, just working. I got back in town Saturday & worked Easter.
I have to go tonight and Saturday night. for a great night tonight!
My weight is at an all-time high since last summer! {149}
I still have water weight from food, TOM, and now ovulation!
I think I need a "food detox", but I can't even think of doing that with my race <3 weeks away!
I truly think I have an underactive Thyroid going on. I had it checked about a month ago and my #s were at the the low end of normal, but I am really symptomatic. I started taking Gaia Thyroid Support. I'll do it for a month, recheck my labs and see where I am! Praying it works for me!!
Ugh! I am still alive, just decided to take a few days off and binge on candy
I'm sure my weight is up - not weighing myself till Saturday, so if I'm still at 167 I will be sooo thankful. I'm going to the gym starting Wednesday, so I think re-starting after overeating for a few days might actually work (humour me here...)
I try to keep my weigh-ins once a week and Friday its a perfect day since I have the weekend coming and then regular week days to recover lol.
