Kitty - me too. I know some is water (and I have no excuses BUT no regrets for this past weekend...we had a great weekend getaway and sometimes one needs a break...and sometimes that break is a cake-baking class and wine tasting), but no matter. There is so much going on and my weekends are always so challenging due to outside circumstances, so I'm really going to have to work at this. But the scale is unacceptable so I'm doing it - and so will you.

S - Asian Pear w/ Laughing Cow
L - Leftover Mexican Beef and Bean Bake w/ tons of veggies
S - WW Low Carb Tortilla w/ sm. can tuna, pickles, greens

S - NSA Ice Cream Bar

E - 80-100 min on elliptical

Things that suck: Being told at 6:30 last night that you have to do a 4 hour demo for the CEO of your company. The next day at noon.

Things that make you proud: Working until 11 last night so you are still able to fit in your workouts and adequately prep. No way am I skipping strength!

There is a good chance that snacks will be skipped as the meeting is a HORRIBLE time (12:30 to 4:30...for a girl who eats lunch at 2, that's EVIL). I'm going to try to stay fueled.

B - Orange, egg whites w/ veggies
S - Asian Pear w/ Laughing Cow
L - Leftovers - Grilled chicken skewer, roasted asparagus, butternut squash soup
S - WW Tortilla w/ tuna, mixed greens, pickles
S - Protein shake w/ coffee ice cubes = Frozen Protein Mocha
D - Having guests for dinner but I'm in charge of the menu so it's light...Pork tenderloin stuffed with laughing cow and roasted red pepper, roasted red potatoes, roasted asparagus with lemon, garlic, and parsley.
S - Small piece of ice cream cake (the guests are bringing dessert..)

E - 55 min elliptical
65 min cardio circuits

Manda, good luck with your meeting!

yesterday I stayed op all day until...da da dahhh...sitter left box of cookies in upstairs cabinet. they called, I answered. And this is after I said no thank you to sitter's homemade pad thai! She answered my response with, "I know, you can't stop." argh. I am going to tell her to leave her sweets in a downstairs cabinet, so I don't see them.

today
cantalope and cheese
lowfat broc and cheese soup with shrimp
string cheese, apple
salmon, roasted broccolli

exercise: hand weights and various exercises after kids to sleep.

off to daily plate to log this in.

[kittycat40]

It's the end of my eating day. I subbed out the apple and cheese for an activia and some (taken from child) whole grain goldfish--, the roasted broc for cucumbers and grape tomatoes with tatziki sauce.
I am above where I wanted to be caloriewise but still at a deficit. Now I will fold laundry and chew gum like my scale depends on it. drink some herbal tea too.

exercise- must. do. it.

[mandalinn82]

I had two small glasses of wine. That being said, I skipped a snack in the afternoon, which made room, and I had the day from heck. (Meeting - all prep work gone because of someone else's screwup...ridiculous)

Planning for tomorrow:

B - Orange, Egg whites w/ veggies
S - Asian pear w/ laughing cow
L - Leftovers - Stuffed pork tenderloin, roasted potatoes, roasted asparagus with parsley/lemon/garlic
S - WW Tortilla w/ small can tuna, mixed greens
S - Protein Mocha Shake
D - White Bean and Chicken Sausage soup w/ wilted spinach, carrots, celery, zucchini
S - Leftover ice cream cake - small piece. Extra victory bonus points for NOT snarfing it down tonight in slightly tipsy, post-stress loss of control.

E - 60 min Yoga Booty Ballet, 60 min elliptical
