Weekly Journal Buddy Thread...Oct. 17-23
Well, the weekend wasn't a complete disaster. It was probably about anormal weekend for me calorie-wise overall. Here's the short of it:
Friday (around 3000 calories):

Don't worry Jill; it could have been worse, I’m sure. I know it had to be incredibly difficult to stay OP given your circumstances, but now that you're getting all settled in, I'm sure things with get back to normal in a jiffy. So, are you lovin the new place?? I certainly don't envy the unpacking that surely must still be done, but I bet you're glad the physical moving part is finally over and done with!

Thankyou, my friends, for all those very insightful comments about "studying beloved", and getting some exercise together on Sunday.... :D :D :D ....OK, its true, the studying got somewhat postponed :devil: :o , but I did hand in the assignment on Monday, and also have a lot of fun on Sunday.... ;) ;) ;) ..!
As to the topic of healthy eating. Well could be better, could be worse, is my assessment of things. I need to get myself at least close to the straight and narrow again. So I think I will aim, for the next week or so, to stick to a mantra of 'no junk food, no trigger foods'. I will aim to start right now, but realistically, since I am hosting this big work event today a 'festival' no less, (280 people coming apparently, top London venue, nervous, moi???! :dizzy: :dizzy: :dizzy: ), and the 'finger food' is not particularly healthy, I will aim for healthy breakfast and lunch, and just do the best I can this evening. Here is what I recollect eating on Sunday Way too much bread, with cheese and pickle, and jam (separately) 2 fried eggs (olive oil), more bread 2 apples Here is what I ate yesterday Cappucino Sushi Mango and melon Chicken risotto Tuna mayo, 2 slices of bread |
So after yesterday's McDonald's breakfast, I had a sausage calzone from the cafeteria for lunch and a bacon and swiss chicken sandwich and about half my fries from Fuddrucker's for dinner :o We didn't get to go grocery shopping because we spent nearly 2 hours at Comcast trying to get the right kind of cable box and internet equipment :mad: which we then had to go home and set up/install, which took HOURS longer than it should have (Comcast is NOT on my list of companies with friendly customer support!). But, while emptying some boxes in the kitchen, I found a box of instant oatmeal, so today looks like:

Hi everyone, I'm still feeling kinda blue, but definately better.
Went down for PT today for my knee, (he's sooo yummy! :devil: ) my IT band is not good and he gave me a new thing to do w/a foam roller on the floor, let's just say it wasn't my most graceful moment! And he was standing over me watching me do this. Better now than 46 pounds ago, I'm not even sure I would have been able to do it at all then. My food yesterday was good and I made it to the gym during lunch (my boss is away this week yeah!). While I was ok on points, I made very interesting choices, then this morning my "friend" showed up, which explains it: 4 - 2 eggs 3 - luna bar 2 - coffee 5 - zone bar 1 - 1 pt WW cake 1 - coffee 2 - cookie 6 - chicken 0 - sugar snap peas 24 points Have a great day everyone! |
Ugh. A 16-hour day, but I'm finally home from my business trip. I was too grumpy today to be hungry, I think.
Breakfast Bowl of raisin bran with 2% milk Snack Light and fit lowfat yogurt Lunch 1/2 turkey sandwich with a little mayo About 2/3rd cup potato salad 2" x 2" chocolate chip brownie Dinner Grilled Chicken BLT salad at McDonald's with ranch dressing No exercise because, well, 16 hour day! But I suppose I walked some, dragging my stupid broken suitcase around airports. I also drank about 5 bazillion Fruit2Os today, for some reason. Well, maybe 4 bazillion, but a lot. Calorie total: About 1325 |
Yesterday ended up being:
Went grocery shopping last night, so today looks is starting out much better:

Good morning everyone!
Here's yesterday... 1 - egg whites 3 - luna bar 2 - coffee 5 - zone bar 2 - coffee 4 - 2 truffles 6 - grilled chicken salad 3 - w/feta 26 points |
Well...I've been missing in action for a few days (life has definitely got in the way of my posting) and I'm going to be taking a sabbatical from the forum for a couple of weeks due to lack of opportunity. Doesn't mean I'm taking a sabbatical from journaling (since I started Weight Watchers in June of 2002, the only time I didn't journal was the month I spent in Russia). Figure skating season is upon me and I'll have lots of temptations (dinners and drinks with friends, arena/hotel/restaurant food) but I've managed it in the past and will give it my all this season! Off to Atlantic City tomorrow for Skate America and then on to Newfoundland for Skate Canada. No European skating trips this season for me (the World Championships are in Canada this year!!) and the Canadian Championships aren't until January, so I'll have some recovery time (if you can call the Christmas season recovery time) before the next arena/hotel/restaurant/ food onslaught!
I trust my thread will be kept alive in my absense and that I'll return to good news (foodwise, weightwise and otherwise) from all of you! Enjoy and behave!! (I'll certainly enjoy and try my best to behave). :^: Cheers!! :wave: Jilly |
AWWW Jilly....I'm going to miss you SOO much :cry:
I do, however, hope that you have a wonderful time...and wish I could go with you (it just sounds so fun and exciting!) Please check in if you get a chance..try to behave yourself most of the time..and :coach: get your butt back here ASAP! We LOVE you! xoxoxo Linda |
Not feeling well today aand left work early. Blah. No exercise, I came home, ate, slept for 2 hours, woke up with the phone. Hopefully I'll feel better tomorrow.
Breakfast 3 Mrs. T's perogies 1 bowl oatmeal Lunch Crock pot shrimp creole over brown rice Snack Some pineapple chunks Dinner Angus Burger from Burger King (craving red meat) |
Had some yogurt-covered raisins, 2 apples, and spaghetti last night, bringing yesterday's total to about 1780 calories :) Yay for eating dinner AT HOME!!
Today looks like this:
Total: about 1475 calories Only did 23 minutes on the elliptical this morning since I got to the gym late, but it's better than nothing! |
