Here I go!!
 

Well, I'm back on track! I weighed myself this morning (for the first time since Thanksgiving) and I have only gained back 3 lbs. after a month of binging. I'm surprised it wasn't more than that, but whatever - I am back on the bandwagon now!!

Breakfast: hard boiled egg, pork rinds, cup of tea with milk
Snack: cheese crisp
Another snack: Atkins bar
Lunch: sausage links (grilled) and one plum tomato
Snack: pork rinds
Snack: green pepper with blue cheese dressing and hot sauce
Dinner: Turkey and ham with cheese melted on top; lettuce leaves
Snack: Pork rinds with blue cheese dressing

Since this is my first day back on track, I'm allowing myself to eat a lot. I'm determined though. I've been to the gym twice since last Thursday, and plan to go again today. Plus will drink all my water and take vitamins.

Okay, I started this last week and literally got knocked off track - so, I'm baaaack! lol Actually I didn't do too bad last week except for the "liquids" I consumed a day or two.

Monday

B-approx 3 oz of leftover steak - 3 cups black decaf
S-3 glasses of water - 48 oz total
L-2 hb eggs - large salad w/the works - decaf tea
D-salad - pork loin chops - saurkraut - another veggie-not sure what.

I hope to lose at least five pounds (tho hope for more) before my rescheduled surgery the first of Feb.. I know that I've put on at least five since the first of November. (Today I popped the top snap of the jeans I bought then! :( )

Total water goal is 120 oz. I can do it. guzzle-guzzle

PB and celery
1 cookie (bad me)
4 chicken thighs and a large bowl of seafood chowder (without the potatoes) chock full of clams, shrim and (bad) fake crab (not as much)

Tuesday 1/7
 

I edited my food from yesterday to reflect "actual." I did stay OP but look at the snacks!! The most important thing to me right now is to stay OP though. I did go to the gym yesterday and do the Precor for 40 minutes, and 60 reps on the Gravitron. Drank lots of water too so I am proud of myself.

Today:
Breakfast: hard boiled egg, pork rind
Snack: cheese crisp
Lunch: hamburger patty, mashed cauliflower
Snack: grilled tofu, a green pepper
Snack: pork rinds w/ blue cheese dressing, glass of diet rite soda
Dinner: ham and turkey with cheese melted on top
Snack: couple of pieces of cheese.

Took an abs class at the gym!!

Wednesday, 1/8

Snack: cheese crisp

Lunch: sausage links with one plum tomato, mashed cauliflower

L-saurkraut, green beans (1/2 c each) 3 oz of pork again

Travelling wrecks havoc!!
 

Ive been travelling the last 3 days, and they only serve cookies and almonds on the plane and Im allergic to almonds!!!

Anyway.....Hiya Tilly :wave: welcome back!! Hope you had a great vacation!

Tuesdays Meals,
Breakie, scrambled eggs w/cheese
Lunch, Ceasar salad w/chicken from Kelsey's
Supper, several slices of ham, couple pieces of broccoli, then got really hungry around 11pm in ThunderBay and ordered a pizza. So......I ate one slice, then picked the cheese and pepperoni off the rest of it lol
oh......ate a package(of 2) digestive cookies on the plane :(

Wednesday

Breakfast......TimHortons Cranberry Muffin. I havent had a Timmy's muffin or donut since I started this woe, and I found that as I ate the muffin, it just tasted like I was eating a piece of cake....then of course, several timmy's coffees (4) thru-out my morning (travelling)

Lunch- peanut butter cookie (good eh?) Well **** if the cookie didnt taste like crap too!!
Came home and had a piece of cheese

Supper, will be burgers with sourcream and broccoli.........and I cant wait until tomorrow and eating properly again.

Eating sugar, just makes me feel yucky!!

There you have it........geez the truth hurts when you put it down in writing :(

Have a great day ladies

Thursday, January 9
 

I edited my food yesterday to show what I really ate. I overate by two Atkins bars, 2 slices of bread, and 3 glasses of wine (sigh).
The good news is that I went to the gym and worked out on the Precor for 45 minutes, and then took a 20 minute walk.

Trying to be more moderate today:

Upon awakening: glass of barley grass juice
Breakfast: cheese crisp, 2 hard boiled eggs, tea with milk
Lunch: grilled tofu, mashed cauliflower, one large green pepper
Dinner: probably roast beef with cheese melted on top

Trying not to snack today. Hope everyone's doing well!!

Thursday
 

I admit, when Im not eating low carb, I REALLY feel it!!!!

Breakfast, scrambled egg w/cheese

Lunch, coleslaw and boiled egg (if I have any left) if not, 3 slices of roast beef with mustard

Supper, some sort of meat and a salad (have to check the freezer)

That should be good for me today, snacks if needed will be a clementine orange and herbal tea later tonight

Have a great OP day ladies
Robin
