Awesome, stranded, I absolutely cannot wait to get to 299. Yesterday was another good day - got my exercise in and ate within my calories. Saturday marks one week on plan, which is actually a milestone as I haven't been able to put a week together in awhile. Thankfully, something changed this time around.
I think my roommates and I are going to hike the Hollywood sign trail Saturday - which is like a neat way to celebrate and also burn some extra calories in anticipation of Super Bowl snacking.
Whoa, ladies, where did yesterday go? I was POP yesterday, just wasn't here. And POP again today.
I haven't been feeling great, so I'm not going to push myself on exercise for this 10. If I exercise great, but if not, okay. On the other hand, the scale is FINALLY down a little, yay.
The plan for these 10 days is just 1800 calories, at least one veggie a day, push the water, and I'm going to try to avoid animal fat and keep my fats to the good kind.
Hey ladies! Sorry I didn't post too much in our last segment. I got extremely ill and was bed ridden for a week. I must admit I snacked SO MUCH, but on the plus side, I'm only up a pound and a half. I'd say that's doable and easy to correct. Today was a great day, I stayed well under my limit. Plan in place for tomorrow!
Goals are the same: 1800 calories, all my water, and biggest goal: adding exercise!
Thanks guys! 299 was a nice goal, I'm glad I made it, but it was a lot harder than expected.
Yesterday I was not OP with anything, I was definitely in the water. Today I've been OP with everything, even calories. It's amazing how much easier calorie counting is when you have the proper food in the house, ha ha.
Was dry yesterday, but the princess tummy was upset and finicky. All vitamins consumed, no vending, daily calories on track and rode my bike to work all week. TOM is due Saturday.
Looking forward to longer days and more sunshine. I'm so very sensitive to lack of sunlight.
Got a little wet yesterday. I was up well past my bedtime finishing an article, and I was so hungry I almost turned into Teen Wolf. I ate a little more than I wanted for my snack, but I didn't binge. Ended up a couple hundred calories over my daily limit.
Scale today says I'm down 1.4, so I was actually hungry. Thankfully, I haven't lapsed into "f**k it" mode, which usually happened when I had a slight detour or unexpected eating event.
Things learned: it's okay to eat when you're starving, staying up late is the devil, and I've finally learned to forge ahead after missteps. Here's to drying off!
Riley, glad you are on the mend. I comfort eat when I'm sick, mostly salty soup things. Hang in there!! Let yourself heal. The one thing I've learned on these forums is that you can't move forward if you don't let yourself heal after an illness.
Bridgett, yup! Another very good thing I've learned here. Not only are you gonna get wet periodically, but sometimes soaked. That doesn't null and void everything. Big dry floofy towels that are just out of the drier are the best, right?
Lifeboaters, congrats on your successes! Dunno what I'd do without you.
Hi all... not certain whether I'm POP or not today. Ate two restaurant meals, and the second one was particularly difficult to calorie count. If I'd skipped the bread, I'd be pretty confident I was under my calorie limit, but since I didn't, I'm not quite sure... Still, I wasn't way off track or anything, so I'll call today dry.
Happy weekend all!
