Good work guys
Yesterday I stayed on target with food and today I was pretty close. My husband made breakfast in bed for me.... so I had eggs and 2 pieces of toast with a banana. It was late so no lunch... :o
I also will go for a run in the evening. Keep up the great work.... Rabbit, What system are you using to calculate your calorie intake? Is it WW? Just so you know I am about 12 hours ahead of you... so it is Saturday night here! I look forward to seeing how your weekend goes. I find it is the hardest time for me. Just not structured enough, and so busy. |
Saturday 6/3
Breakfast 1 serving au gratin potatoes from a box (at 2 am -- rough night for sleeping) Veggie breakfast patty Lunch Frozen meal, some sort of teriyaki chicken rice bowl Dinner Frozen meal, chicken bowl thingamabob from Lean Cuisine 1 serving au gratin potatoes Snack Luna Bar (Weekends are actually easier for me. I eat a lot from stress at work, and feeling I deserve sweets and things when I get home from work to compensate.) |
Ack!
woke up late and only managed a banana before we had to head out to church. Stayed on target with everything else though. But must add one popsicle.... very hot today.... Tomorrow Breakfast Cream of Wheat + banana + egg Lunch leftovers from yesterday Veggies + pork stirfry Dinner Spaghetti with salad I am struggling with something though. I have hit a plateau. I think it has to do with my caloric intake. I have been using dr. phil "ultimate weight solution guide" and tracking my intake that way. When I look over my journal for the past week (not online) I am averaging about 900-1000 calories a day. I don't think this is so good. Can you guys offer some advice? What should I be aiming for?? I have been so bad with my diet for so long that I know it is a big part of my problem. For ages I was only eating 2 meals a day and I find it hard to "eat" all the time.... i.e 4-6 meals instead of 3. BUt I am willing to try anything. I used the caloric counter.... and it stated that I need 2150 calories a day to maintain my weight-- approx 500 less to lose weight..... N-EE-Hoo any suggestions? Sorry to hear that you are having sleep issues..... I hope you get it sorted out, Scuttle. L. Sarah |
Sarah - Yes, I am following the ww program. So I am unsure of my total calorie intake. However from past things I've read, your intake sounds low. Isn't it recommended not to go below 1200? Does Dr. Phil cover that? I do like his book. About your plateau, I did find before that when I ate under the minimum of points recommended that I maintained and did not lose until I changed that. You many need to eat more. Also, thanks for the info about how far away you are. I had not picked up on that. Also, how tall are you? Just curious because of your goal. It sounds like a nice weight.

Sarah - I am 5'8" so we are close. I haven't been to 145 in a long time either! Actually we're close to the same weight now I think, because I'm at 181.4. ~ Glad to hear you added some calories, and healthy ones too!

Monday 6/7
Breakfast Oatmeal Veggie breakfast patty Dinner Foot-long chicken & cheese-type sub from Subway (The sub was actually the worst Subway sub I've had, but I was starving. Today at work was really bad. Tomorrow looks to be the same but at least with advanced warning. I'm so exhausted I can't even walk to the kitchen to eat one of the Hershey kisses I bought because I was craving chocolate. Gotta finish some work and sleep before a long day tomorrow...) |
poor Scuttle,
When you have a minute... What kind of work do you do? This week is a bit crazy for me too. It is registration for next term. That means heaps of work for my Korean coworker setting things up with the parents and I have to do the certificates and prep for next term (if you haven't guessed I am an ESL teacher in Korea). On friday we are having an Open House for the parents, so that means decorations and finishing up any last minute marking... :stress: . Ah the joys the joys. Rabbit, It is cool to find someone who is where I am! I would have loved to do WW but, impossible in Korea because a lot of the food here is stews and stirfry which makes it hard to figure out the points. There are a few sites though that let me know the calories.... :p . Anyway on to the food stuff.... I was soooo good today. Stuck to the plan but... I teach a tutorial on Tuesdays and Fridays and the mom insists on providing me with a snack. No matter what I say.... It is hard. And I have no willpower when food is in front of me... :mad: . So end result... 1 piece of chocolate cake. :^: It was tasty though... Tomorrow. Breakfast yogurt (100), cereal (120) and banana (109) Lunch Dukbokki (Korean hot spaghetti) (482) Dinner veggies 1 cup (70)and lean pork. (200) snacks 1 hard boiled egg (86) pinapple (120) total cals 1387 (God that took forever! I hope that with time it will be easier to sort out calorie count,,, :dizzy: |
I weighed in 2 days early because I'm going out of town on Thursday for the weekend. Lost .2 lb.
Scuttle - that's pretty tired when you can't go get a hershey's kiss! Sarah - chocolate cake is very hard to resist. tuesday 6/8 exercise 1 hour tennis breakfast oatmeal = 2 sugar = .5 mixed berries = .5 hb egg = 2 lunch salad = 0 lf parmesan = 1 lf cheese = 1 triscuits = 3 snack cereal = 3 dinner chicken = 5 bun = 1 brocolli = 0 lf cheese = 1 snack hot choc = 3 skinny cow = 2 daily total = 25 flex balance = 22-1=21 |
Sarah - I work as a civilian contractor for the military (software stuff), involved with operations in Iraq. A coworker wasn't able to make a meeting and I had to last-minute sub for him, which meant no-notice and long hours on base. Didn't have time for a lunch break yesterday as I was playing catch up, but I did today (though I had about 20 minutes to scarf something down on base). Luckily the coworker arrived today so I'm relieved of duty. Whew!
Tuesday 6/8 Breakfast Clif Bar (chocolatey something) Lunch BK chicken whopper, light on the mayo Dinner Last serving of potatoes-from-a-box! 6 oz tilapia in a honey teriyaki marinade Garden vegetable salad with tons of veggies and light honey mustard dressing Snack 2 hershey kisses (not too tired to dig them out today!) |
