ok, so rebounding from my Outback night yesterday, here's my plan for the day:
B - wheat toast with PB
L - salad with diced chicken, cheese and tomatoes w/ salsa as dressing
Snack - three oatmeal/cranberry cookies
D - leftover steak from last night with a side salad
Calorie goal - around 1300-1500 calories
Exercise - when i get home from class tonight, I'll do some laundry and go work out for an hour while it's drying
Best of luck all!!!

Marginally better day today. Being back in the office and out of jury duty helped. Looking forward to the weekend. But I have a popup business trip next week, blah.
Thursday
Breakfast: McDonald's fruit and yogurt parfait, and a Morningstar breakfast patty
Snack: 2 one-bite Milky Way bars (smaller than the 'fun size')
Lunch: Healthy Choice fish dinner
Snack: Whoppers candy (too much candy, ugh) and a peach
Dinner: Huge healthy veggie salad, with some feta cheese and egg in it, and 1/4 cup of LF vinegarette style dressing, and about 2 oz of cooked chicken
Yesterday, I unintentionally didn't really eat anything until almost 9pm. I had brought a yogurt to work to eat, but I was just busy and never even gave it a second thought. We also had a big party for a guy who's been here 13 years and is retiring, so everyone brought goodies for lunch yesterday, but I just grabbed a can of diet soda and went back to my cubicle so I wouldn't be tempted by the heavily-dressed salads, frosted cake, cookies, white rolls with butter, etc. So yesterday, all I had was one bite of the salad I made (tangy taco salad--not at ALL healthy, but very yummy) and then my Subway after my TOPS meeting (12" chicken teriyaki on honey oat and 2 peanut butter cookies).
My TOPS meeting went well--posted a 3.5 pound loss, so that's 5 pounds in the past 2 weeks Calorie cycling seems to be doing me a bit of good!
Stuck to plan yesterday, and today's plan so far has been:
B: Eggs & Sausage
L: None. Haven't been hungry.
D: Plan on having a grilled chicken salad with cheddar cheese, 1Tbsp bacon bits, and South Beach ranch dressing.
Going to do some of my "Dance off the Inches" dvd after a little bit!
Arghhh, I haven't posted in days (or even visited the site, shame on me). I blame the Olympics!! In a way I'll be glad when they're over so I can get some sleep and get back on schedule.
I've handled food quite well (grabbing a few bites between watching skating, snowboarding, curling, etc.) and have taken to jogging with the dog (not that I can handle much more than a few minutes before lapsing back into a brisk walking).
This weekend will be tough to stay on plan because its our "Niagara Falls Romance Package", which includes champagne, chocolate covered strawberries and dinner in a swanky restaurant (I went on-line and checked out the menu and noticed the word "butter" is used in excess). I have a feeling I'll be having a few alcoholic beverages at the casino, also. Oh well, a girl can only try her best.
Okay. I'm feeling better today, a little, but I think that's coincidental with the weekend. I'm going on a business trip this weekend and decided to splurge for a night's hotel room on my own, and am going out a day early. I'm not sure what there is to do in Kansas City, but if nothing else I'll lounge in the hotel and read. I think there's a good science center, though, and a zoo, and an art museum, and I might go see a movie. Should be good, because I have a 12+ hour day Monday, followed by a way early flight home and a full day work Tuesday.
Friday (the un-nutrition day)
Breakfast: Krispy Kreme glazed donut (just one, the coworker ate four!) and a light yogurt
Snack: 1 oz cheddar cheese (same coworker has eaten most of my cheese!)
Lunch: Healthy choice meal of some chicken-y sort
Snack: Big bag of animal crackers and small box of jelly beans
Dinner: Tilapia fillet with peanut spicy stuff on it, and some asparagus and water chestnuts sautees in olive oil and balsamic vinegar infused with diced red onion, mmmmm!
No exercise. Nutrition was wonky. Half my calories were 'junk', but I did eat some healthy stuff, so it could be worse!
well, i only did a little bit of exercise yesterday because i started cramping up, so I'll do better this evening. I am in class all weekend (9-5 both days!), so I am bringing my lunch since they usually feed us pizza. My plan is:
B - already had my wheat toast with PB
L - low sodium ff ham on wheat toast with a granny smith apple
Maybe a banana as a snack if I am hungry
D - grilled chicken breast and some kind of veggies?
Whew, yesterday, I managed nearly 4000 calories of deliciousness (my fitday said 3880, I think). I pretty much ate whatever I wanted but still only had 3 meals--just big, unhealthy meals But I still get up to 2300 calories each day for today and tomorrow to make my goal for the week, so it's still all part of my plan. Just gotta flush out the excess sodium now!
Had two emotional eating days. Yesterday was the worst. Ate two big meals instead of my usual 6 small ones and now I feel as if I have rocks in my stomach. You really can't go home anymore as the saying goes. I messed up my knee exercising (it goes "out" occasionally) and am pretty much grounded temporarily and in pain. Looking to get back on track today and get off the emtional roller coaster.
Glad to see you back SAPF. Hope Thursday went well.
Yesterday, I could NOT stop snacking! Granted, I just had lots of string cheese, and a couple of pieces of beef jerky, but STILL! UGH. Don't know what triggered that. Well, here's the plan for today:
B: 3 eggs, fried & 4 sausage links.
L: Boneless skinless chicken breast cut up, and mixed with 1 cup of broccoli. Topped with cheese.
D: Salad with chicken, cheese, & South Beach ranch dressing.
Snacks: Since I'm working, I'm going to take a couple pieces of string cheese with me, since I KNOW I'll get hungry about feeding time! (I work in a nursing home for Alzheimer's patients.)
Exercise: Well, besides my running around all night, and lifting people, and such, I'm going to do some "Dance off the Inches", and hop on the treadmill before work!
Today was my weigh in. (Sunday morning) I have lost two pounds this week! I am going to the gym on base and getting sweaty in a little bit. I am shooting for not only perfect days but a perfect week! Sunday Feb. 26 to Sunday March 5.
I have worked with the points and tried to have perfect days. I went to the commisary today to load up on foods for all three meals that will help me along this week!
Calorie cycling seems to be doing me a bit of good!
I'm hoping that the weekend will give me some time to recharge. 
But I still get up to 2300 calories each day for today and tomorrow to make my goal for the week, so it's still all part of my plan. Just gotta flush out the excess sodium now!
