Last night I added on: Short Rest from Yoga for Stress Relief
I have had a significant gain since yesterday. I know it's from the salt in the oysters but it is still frustrating. I literally only ate a serving of green beans and steamed oysters. No sauce or anything. The oysters were not steamed in a broth or anything. Plain steamed. UGH! The good news is that I think TTOM is over. Hopefully it will stay away for a while this time.
I can only post briefly, but I just wanted to share that I lost another pound of that weight I put on over the weekend. So I'm down to 158.6. That's three pounds of water weight gone since Monday. What a relief. I've got another half pound to go to meet my first mini-goal of 2 1/2 pounds. Baby steps, I know.
Diana: I can really relate to your frustration over water retention. You are so consistent with eating well, so it has to come off soon. Hang in there!
I have to get ready for work. I plan to post more later.
I am shaking things up today, since I have had no weight change in four days and I can feel my body becoming complacent with my diet & exercise routine.
So today my diet will be almost entirely vegetables with a protein shake after my workout.
It will be too warm for me to go walking while it is daylight (it's going to be near 90° today) and I have Bible class tonight so to shake things up I am planning 60 -70 minute indoor workout between Spanish class and grocery shopping. I plan to do some floor exercises (abs) this afternoon, bosu squats, an arm workout, and a half hour of flow yoga.
[Edit] It turned out to be not as hot as I was expecting, but I still hate walking in blazing sun so I am working out inside today.

I stepped on the scale this morning and lost 5 pounds. Then I stepped on it again and lost 37. Time to go get another battery (and of course it's a coin battery - not one I have around the house.
Started my day with mall laps again. I'm moving more, but I just don't have it in me yet to get up and swim at 6 am when it's 40 below.
I had to go to work today through the snow so with an early start I forgot to weigh myself. Haven't done that in ages. So I am calling it no change at 171.0lbs. Calories will be 1400-1700 today.
Targets based on weight Low High
Fat 51 86
Calories 2394 2736
Protein 154 205
Carbs target 342 513
Fat based on 20-30% caloric intake 39 58
20% less calories to cut 1915
Exercise: Did 50 minutes of weight training before lunch. Will either run 10k or do 50 minutes of spinning before lunch depending on what friends want to do.
PS I have found a great cure for constipation. The prunes have gone (to cut calories) but I am taking a very strong fish oil supplement and this seems to work very well!
I'm a little less pissed off today...Roadbikerchick you're right of course and I WILL pick myself up, dust my self off, and give back those pounds!
I hope to keep to eating the way I have the last few days - last night before school I had an all breast-meat turkey burger (no bun, just the meat) from Costco with melted light Jarlsberg and sauteed zoodles on top...it was awesome! I didn't eat anything else the whole night, not even when I got home from school. Just my glass of wine and bed!
I'm feeling really good lately - got energy and everything. I have been drinking this coffee that's healthy and has Ganoderma Lucida...and it's delicious, too! I think it's what has me feeling so good
Okay TODAY:
B - 2 hard-boiled eggs
L - high fiber low carb wrap w/ tuna, light mayo, and romaine lettuce
S - cubed watermelon
Dinner - I have some fresh spinach ravioli and some pesto sauce I might fix - maybe some chicken breast with it. That will be all.

Hello everyone,
It may not seem like the best menu but the fact we had 8 inches of snow and I usually kill the boredom by eating I think I did ok.
1/21/14
honey almond bran cereal with 1/2 banana
1/4 cup 2% milk
coffee with 2% milk
1 cabbage roll
homemade whole wheat pita chips (10) with salsa
5 green olives
pulled pork sandwich on whole wheat bun
10 tater tots with ketchup
Nature's Bounty Chocolate Complete Protein 2 scoops
Vitacost Whole Food Shake 2 scoops
1 tsp Spirulina
1 tsp Maca
2 Acai Berry Capsules - I open and pour in the powder
2 cups soy milk
2 cups water
I had that for breakfast and lunch, keeps me full for 5-6 hour at a time.
Don't know what I'm going to have for dinner yet.
I found out today that I lost 13 pounds since Jan 1st 2014 - without eating perfect or working out but that is my overall goal, eat better, exercise and think positive.
and went to my evening class...today im at work all day due to not having a car...worked, walked to the store, and am at work until 6 p.m....may hit the gym after work depending on how much energy i have...still working to lower carbs
