So yesterday after posting here I went off the plan. Imagine, at 11 pm watching TV and eating 400 calories worth chocolate!!! How stupid of me!
Anyway, I am on track again today. So far I've eaten about 1200 calories and went for a brisk walk (40 minutes) with my hubby. I think this is it for today food wise.
If I get "hungry", I'll eat blackberries that my hubby bought just for me.

I cut the chocolate out of my diet because it was just so hard to resist another piece.. and before I knew it those calories (and fat grams.. and sugar!!) were adding up fast. I'm proud that you've accepted the "mishap" and you're picking yourself back up again!
Snacking on fruit is always great.. not only is it tasty and filling, you feel fantastic afterward because you know you're feeding your body nutritious food!
Yeah, what's up with the disappointment? Was this over a month's time or something?
Even if it was over a month span, I'm sure everyone would agree that a three pound loss is better than a three pound gain Ahh, how the numbers drive us nuts
creeech- I am getting my Master's at the University of Arizona, where is your sister getting hers?
Pinkie- It's okay! You know what helps me is keeping a food diary of everything that i am going to eat this week. Then, every night before I go to bed I go to the October Accountability Page under weight loss support and post everything I am going to eat. These little animations are helping me a lot too. In my signature (which i don't think people can see) I give myself a dancing brocolli for everyday that I follow the plan. Might sounds stupid, but cute little animations keep me motivated. Don't feel bad though, just try to stay on plan, and keep chipping away.
eliana- I am sorry to hear about your husband, that sounds like it's a very difficult situation, especially when trying not to emotionally eat. For me, sometimes when I am sad I like to run out and get those unhealthy foods. Good for you eating celery. The good thing about stress eating on celery is it is not going to hurt your weight loss progress.
dorian - You had a mishap too!? It's hard to not get tempted by the tasty goodness of foods, isn't it? Good for you posting it on the board and admitting it. I remember after my applebees incident and thinking "should I tell them?" lol, and i am so glad I did.
everyone has been very supportive about trying to eat healthy. I am very excited to tell you guys how much weight I lost on Monday because I think I might reach my 1 pound loss this week!
Is anyone else nervous about the weekends? This is usually when my plans explode in my face, and every temptation known to man comes out of the woodwork. I know that as long as I sign in tomorrow, and sign in Sunday, everything should be okay, and I am really hoping that I can stay on plan this weekend. Keep things away from the mouth. Here are some of my ideas:
(1) When someone offers me a beer, simply drink some club soda with lemon juice in it instead.
(2) Strictly adhere to my meal plan.
(3) I've planned to eat some Digornio pizza tomorrow night, which I think is a good idea. I am only going to have 1/6 of a pizza (360 cal) but I know that in the end that will be the best for me. I will take out all my weekend crazings in that little pizza. I have also planned for the weekend 4 ounces of BBQ sausage and some corn. (460 total) I think that my having some of these higher calorie meals during the weekend, it will help me kick some of those cravings I might have for other things.
Alright, here comes the tough one girls: THE WEEKEND! Good luck and godspeed,
You guys are right XD I think I was just having a bad morning, woke up to some icky stress factors, so I couldn't take the time to enjoy the accomplishment. I mean, any loss is a good loss, right?? I should be thankful, actually. I'm going to perk up today ^_^ Thanks Creeech and Eliana!
Thank you librarygirl111 for your kind and uplifting words. I felt very disappointed and remorseful almost instantly when I broke a promise given to myself and to you eating that chocolate. The taste of that chocolate never tasted more bitter than yesterday!
But you know what.... when I posted my sin here I felt like this is some kind of small act of bravery on my part. It wouldn't be right if I hadn't admitted my failure to you guys.
So anyway, your little dancing brocolli and exercise guys always make me smile and I really like them, especially these green ones. They cheer me up!
It's now 3.45 AM where I live and I can't sleep. I fell asleep at 8 with my son, and I woke up around 2 o'clock rested and ready to tackle the Saturday challenge...to stay on track even though it's a weekend and have a birthday party to attend.
So girls and boys, be good this weekend and keep going!
Don't anyone think of leaving the challenge. We're all in this together for the month!! Don't make me use my mom voice or start stapling people to their chairs
I'm claiming my smiley for today and crediting this group for my success. We went out for dinner and I didn't want to type a frownie face for the day so I behaved. You all are the best!
Hoping tomorrow I can finally read through all the posts and catch up.
My bathroom troubles are just making me angry and frustrated. I am starting to think I need to see a Dr about it...but I don't want to...(insert whiney voice here). Today was better. I went out to lunch, but really didn't eat to much. Then had a good dinner with an artichoke. Yum! It feels great to be getting back on track!
