(Bringing my post over from p. 4, because I felt lonely over there by myself!)
Again I didn't update yesterday, but I ended up with 1587 calories in, 1671 calories burned, only 84 calorie deficit. Six-day calorie deficit:1722. Not gonna come close to last week's (3381), especially since I'm eating out today.
But my trend weight is still a smidge lower than it was six days ago, even though today's weight is slightly higher. So, going the right direction, just not very fast.
Today, Sunday:
6:15 breakfast: Thomas Whole Wheat Bagel Thin, 18 g Polaner All-Fruit, 1 hard boiled egg: 230 cal
1:00 lunch at Seasons 52: Tiger Shrimp Penne Pasta, 470
2:20 snack: Mini Luna, 80
6:00 dinner: NS thick crust pizza, large salad with spinach, tomatoes, artichoke hearts, pumpkin seeds, Hidden Valley Fat Free Ranch, red peppers, green onions, NS dessert bar: 566
11:25 late night snack: Kashi GoLean Roll, 190
Total: 1536
Looks like everyone is doing great! Congratulations on the losses!

Got too busy to post yesterday, came in around 1600 again. Which is what I was aiming for. Wanted to nudge it up a bit over the weekend then to drop it back down today seeing if that'll bump the scale a bit more by the end of the week. I made homemade baked ziti last night . . omg was it ever tasty!
Haven't eaten anything yet today, almost everyone is off for MLK day, slept in later than usual. Oy, didn't they just have off? lol

Ended up at 1855 yesterday. Had a few yesterday while baking so I went a little over on my cals although I estimated high for their cal content. That gives me a 1699 avg for last week. Right back to plan today.
Over the weekend, I woke up to a whoosh 2 days in a row : so I am very happy about that!
I think I may make this into a through the month editable post. Then have a side by side comparison to calories and weight. I'm curious to see the correlation develop.
-------Weight Calories
1/11: 179.8____1922 +222
1/12: 178.4____1798+98 much better
1/13: 177.8____1685-15 Doing the 5pm as start of the new day was much easier! I am liking the tracking days dinner through lunch so far. It's easier to plan and properly excecute calories at breakfast and lunch for me.
1/14: 178.8___1905
1/15: 178.4___1917

Back from a weekend not checking in. Having husband home from work in the day and me working weekend nights I find it hard to get on here! Updated my weigh-ins and calorie info.
I was definitely higher than I'd planned this weekend and some really high sodium meals seemned to effect the scale on friday! I have been counting everything I eat for almost a week now! That feels like a little victory! I'm thinking I may follow suit and start admitting my foods on here like you ladies do. While I'm counting, I'm still not always eating good foods (hence my higher calorie days) having to write everything I eat is a good way to be accountable. And maybe it would discourage me from eating less than healthy fare.
b: kashi go-lean crunch (and boy is that cereal crunchy), 2% milk, coffee, water, 6 combos (I wanted something salty) - 400
l: banana ( well, half a banana cause as was taking the peel off my naked banana fell into the trash can right on top of the lint ball from the dryer I had just tossed in. ), p. butter, serving of goldfish: 300
d: chicken and roasted spuds/carrots planned - 400
s: one extremely small piece - more of a sliver - of homemade applesauce cake and some of the homemade chocolate icing - 300? <-- I never know how to count these things so try really hard to over-estimate.
Total: 1400

Kristiina: You are blowing me out of the water with all of those snowy walks!! GREEN with envy!!!
MA: I say if you ate it (whatever it is), YOU DID! Good, Bad, and Ugly. I report all of it, but I will use the sticker if I feel it will lead others off the right track. You will not be judged for eating or having a glass of wine (or in my case, an entire bottle)
My weekend couldn't have been better eating-wise, especially at work!
I'm exhausted!! I'm celebrating this as a TRUE victory! Do you all know how many weekends I lived in defeat at work?? Try about 4 years worth!!!
Words on a pc only make it look easy! It's a constant struggle!!
