There comes a time when we all need to stop saying "I wish" or "I will", and start saying "I am", so we can later say "I did".

This has not been a maintenance type week for me - I've slacked from the gym and been eating away at the b-day cake my friend so nicely made for me (really, I was touched, but there were only enough people for half of it to be eaten and they insisted I keep it).
B: english muffin w/ PB, coffee
S: apple
L: chick'n patty, rice, broccoli
D: banquet... we'll see what's there!

Forgive my absence...this week was ALREADY insane. Then I got the cold from heck...it was just too much! I even had to take a sick day, which I never, ever, EVER do.
Have been eating OP, but not on my regular schedule or the types of things I eat normally. Just trying to get through this crazy week!

Yesterday was okay calorie wise, but deviated from plan. Ended up going out to dinner - had chinese food. Lots of salt, but made a good entree choice and had a small amount of brown rice. So, back to bloated and puffy today. Well, been bloated and puffy all week... My average weight for April is 1.2 pounds up from March and my waist is 1/2 inch bigger than last Friday (though smaller than this past Monday)... I'm still hoping it is the water, but making some diet changes for a couple of weeks to hedge my bets. Cutting out the PB&J as morning snack habit I've picked up... I didn't exercise yesterday - felt pretty sore and run down. Planning something today, don't know what.
Today:
E: dunno...
B: smoothie, coffee
L: grilled chicken salad
S: apple
S: Kashi Dark Chocolate Cherry Granola bar
D: pasta with red sauce and ground turkey breast postponed from last night
S: peanut butter graham cracker

Friday
B - Trader Joe's non fat Greek yogurt with honey, 8 oz sliced strawberries (200 calories)
L - big salad - dark greens, shredded carrot, purple cabbage, pomegranate seeds, grilled chicken, fat free balsamic vinaigrette, fried onions for crunch (measured!!) (400 calories)
S - tangelo (100 calories)
S - cheese string (80 calories)
S - cocoa (50 calories)
D - going to make butternut squash black bean quesadillas! A little sauteed onion and garlic, squash, black beans, 2 whole wheat tortillas, a tiny bit of low fat cheddar to stick everything together, topped with tons of salsa. Added about 100 calories of roasted brussel sprouts. I'm guessing...400 calories?

They fed us pizza again at work for lunch. I guess all the guys on the team were sick of Panera and wanted pizza.  I don't want to be the whiny one who is like, "Girly girls need salads so we can be skinny!" Not that I actually think that way -- I'm a software developer, and 90% of my coworkers are men, most of whom have little to no concern for their weight, and pizza and junk food are preferred. The other woman on my team and I are both like, "we like something with a healthy option," but it ends up looking like "the girls want salad." 
In any case, I had two slices of veggie pizza, and my cals so far today are right on track. I'm right at about 1000 so far, which leaves me 400 for dinner which is just right. I'm happy about it because last week they had pizza for our weekly meeting too (sigh, why do they have to schedule a meeting during lunch? am I the only one who likes to NOT work during lunch?), and I still kept it under 1500 for the day. I think I can do it today too.
You know, it feels really good to know that I can eat two slices of pizza and still lose weight.

My lunch today took a turn for the better. Instead of the chopped salad and sharing a pizza with DH, I had a salad of mixed baby greens, pears, candied walnuts, dried cranberries and Gorgonzola and had them add some chicken. Yum!

My day took a turn for the worse... I came home and fell asleep on the bed. Woke up feeling seriously bloated, which of course made me measure my waist (like that was a great idea when I already felt out of it) which was 2.5 inches larger than this morning. So, 1/2 serving of trail mix, 10 peanuts, 5 prunes and a mini reese's peanut butter egg added in to my planned day... On top of no exercise... Thinking about doing yoga now, will probably just go to bed...
