No Excuses! Food and Exercise Accountability 10/20-10/26
Hey all! How was the weekend? Mine was GREAT, actually. OP Saturday exactly, today wasn't strictly counted but was all healthy choices (and we WALKED all day...a total of almost 5 miles, first to shabu shabu, then to the movies, then to the store to get salads for dinner...). I also had a FABULOUS date day with my partner, and just an all-around good time. AND I got all of my business taken care of...laundry done, house stocked full of groceries. Just a great weekend.
Plan for tomorrow:
B - English muffin pizza w/ light cheese, canadian bacon
S - Apple
L - Curried Roasted Pumpkin Soup w/ roasted pumpkin seeds, tuna sandwich
S - Greek Yogurt
S - Popcorn
D - Pork Tenderloin, Lentil and Brown Rice Pilaf, Sauteed Kale
S - NSA Ice Cream Bar
E - 55 min elliptical, 75 min strength training

My weekend was a little slow, but on the bright side I was able to get all my homework done (including studying for my math midterm today... wish me luck!) and got to bed at 10 on a Sunday night! Impressive!
Here's my plan for the day:
Pre-work out breakfast: 1 Peanut Butter Chocolate South Beach Crispy Meal Bar, 20 carbs
Post-work-out breakfast: Breakfast meat and coffee, take some tea to class
Lunch: Two hamburger patties, romaine lettuce, Caesar dressing
Dinner: Chicken/sausage, romaine lettuce, Caesar/Italian dressing
Possible post-orchestra snack, if I'm hungry: 1 package Frito Lay salted peanuts, 4 carbs
Total carb intake: 20-24. Right on target!
And now, off to do my 55 minutes on the elliptical!
Have a great one, chicas!

My weekend was great in terms of fun, not great in terms of food/exercise. Oh well. Monday is time to start again! I think I drank too much last week, which doesn't help my weight. Between last Sunday and this Sunday I had 3 and a half beers and two glasses of wine. Normally I have one glass of wine or one beer per week.
Monday's plan:
B - oat bran, brown sugar, cinnamon, skim milk
S - apple
L - leftover cooking light beef stew w/egg noodles and frozen peas
S - banana, yogurt
D - 1/2 C spaghetti, Amy's frozen teriyaki bowl, bowl of oatmeal squares cereal w/skim milk
Exercise - 30 min dog wog (c25k w5d1)

Hi all,
My weekend went very well. yay!
And so did my monday... until I got home late and had a few too many helpings of the dinner that I mentioned on cal counters earlier. But hey, now I know... at this stage in my life, I know not to delay dinner until 9:00pm and then spoon it into my mouth while watching tv with dh. I know way better. OK, onward and forward.
I had a nice run this am followed by a very long walk so I'm keeping that in my mind and will not beat myself up.
Tomorrow it's back to plan. I am working in the am, home by noon, kids playdate in the afternoon. 
to be continued...

Sleep can make my weight go ALL over the place. My scale is STILL sitting high. Lame. I know I'm OP so I have to assume it'll settle down if I keep at it.
Glad you're sleeping better!

when I was working nights my body would hold onto water like you can't imagine. truly. the morning after no sleep, socks that would ordinarily fit OK, would DIG into my legs and leave those hideous marks. argh. and I still toy with the idea of working nights. but then I imagine my misery and the misery of those around me

Alrighty. Today was, again, off by a little, but I won't beat myself up over it since I was genuinely, stomach-growling hungry. In that instance, I am never going to say to myself "No! Ignore your body!"
B - Double fiber english muffin, light cheese, canadian bacon
S - Asian Pear
L - Leftover Burger stuffed with laughing cow, balsamic-glazed red onions, on light wheat bread, side salad
S - Popcorn
S - Greek Yogurt

Yesterday was OP through dinner, which I hadn't really planned out. I think I did okay with dinner though. I mixed together a can of pumpkin, whole berry cranberry sauce, a little brown sugar, and some raisins and heated it in the microwave. Yum! I know the can of pumpkin was 175 cals, but I'm guessing the cranberry sauce was more. Either way it should have been fine, and it certainly counts for getting my fruits and veggies.
Amanda - I also eat when I am genuinely hungry!
Wednesday:
B - oat bran w/raisins, 1 tsp brown sugar, skim milk
S - apple
L - pasta w/leftover beef stew
S - carrot sticks, yogurt
S - raisin bran, skim milk
D - lamb tagine with couscous
Exercise - 30 min dog wog (c25k w5d2) - Done!
