Hi all! I actually started POP eating 2 days ago, so I'm joining and this is day 3 for me.

My goal: 1800 calories or less (yesterday was under 1600), at least 5 servings of fruit and veg.

I think I have a good plan for today.

This is my second day in the boat. Yay for staying dry, after a very wet holiday.

Didn't have internet access last night, so I couldn't check in, but other than that, I'm staying POP. My calories were nicely under the limit I had set for yesterday (1850), but I'm going with that as my limit again today.

Good to see January starting off high and dry!

TOM thinks he's sneaking up on me. I was eating more this week, but all protein. Dry and staying away from the vending machine at work, doing well with vitamins and adding protein!

Of course I did the wrong thing and stepped on the scale (oiy, TOM has his foot on it).

Hugs,
Ratkity

I am staying far away from the vending machine and cookies at work. As long as I don't have one, I'm fine.

I worked out this morning! yay me! And my calories are good. But little wiggle room for the evening. I sense a big mug of tea to both fill and warm me.

So, Day 3 I'm high and dry.

Day 3 in the books for me. Calorie count going down to 1800 tomorrow.

WTG Heather and Ratkitty. Just ignore TOM, Ratkitty; he does all this to get attention.

Yay for dry boaters!!

GGG, lots of water weight goes fast when back on track. Hope the gym celebrates your return

Vortex and Rach and and Heather and J-ann and dgram and vicki, yay for great choices!

Heather, the warm herbal tea at night has been a great staple these past few cold nights. I wasn't even "using" it to not snack, I was just cold and wanted to warm up inside.

Hoping for another POP day and going to try to ignore the TOM-scale horror number.

Hugs,
Ratkity

4 days POP! Though I've eaten the exact same food for breakfast, lunch and snacks all week... I'll want to shake things up next week...

And I worked out (briefly, but still) this morning.

Okay, I did it! Eating was a bit challenging: whenever I try to go low fat as well as count calories, I find myself hungry, but I managed to stay on track and within my calorie limit. I'm going to stay here, at 1800, for a couple of weeks while I try to get my exercise up to 30 minutes a day.

Day 4 POP.

Day 5, here we come!
