It's that TOM for me and I'm craving sweet stuff! Even so I managed to stay under my calorie goal for the day so I'm happy with that. (On another note, this is the first natural period I've had in quite a long time! I have PCOS and it's not uncommon to go 6 months+ without a period if I don't take something to induce it. I think that losing weight may be helping!)

Monday was not bad. I had a lot of walking opportunities. My goal was 10,000 steps, and I got 15,658, or six miles. I hope I can do 10,000 steps every day this week. (Today is my birthday, and I want to start my second half century on a strong note!)

To balance the good exercise, I sort of had to eat out. A classmate wanted to take me out to thank me for helping him get a good grade on a team project (he has problems with English, and his grades are in trouble). I wanted to be gracious, so I couldn't exactly say no. He chose a Chinese restaurant. So I'm estimating my calories.

Total calories in: 1955?
Total calories burned: 2126

Calorie deficit: 171 (estimate)

I expect there might be cake and/or chocolate in the next couple of days. I hope not too much. Or that it will be offset with the walking.

well, 2/26 was 1492
2/27 was 1738
2/28 was 1297

HOW I got so low today is beyond me!! I really don't want to eat anymore and well, just going to bed!!

I am on day 4 of walking 30min, praying I can keep it up for 30 days. have been doing crunches and tried some planks......wow!!!

Hoping to see a movment on that scale......oh, water consumption has been great!!! 12-16 cups, the first 8 have had lemon in it!!YUM!! I have a hug jug that hold 8 cups....so I just take it with me everywhere!!

So, that is it for me today....

b: cheese/mushroom omelet, coffee, 2 slice p.f. raisin toast w/1 tspn butter - 500
l: balance bar and a greek yogurt - 350

I don't know what to make for dinner!!!!!!! No clue, at all.

d: ended up making tacos of all things! 600 cals or so.

Total: 1400-1500 cals.

I have NOT fallen off the wagon. I worked over the weekend & was extremely exhausted on Monday & slept for 9 hrs!! I did my workout Monday night and came home and went BACK to sleep for another 9 hrs today! WHEW!!
