I am so excited. I did 1st WI and lost 10.5 . I was so shocked and happy. My husband will be away working for 30 days, and i am trying to get off to a good start before he returns. I know it will be complicated to do this when he is home for 30 days. During the 30 days he is off from work we have fiesta. We celebrate like its a holiday. Cooking and Drinking. I didn't tell him I was doing IP or dieting at all. He is the one that helped me gain all the weight. lol Everytime he leaves to run errands He returns with treats donuts, boudin, cracklins, candy and ice cream and I (the dummy) eat it with a smile. He obviously is not a feather either. I made it thru the week. I love this diet. |

1/22
Breakfast, Wildberry protein shake, bialy w/butter 286 Lunch, salad w/4 oz roasted chicken, veggies, low fat dressing & a banana, 410 Snack, 1/2 large Fiji apple, 80 Dinner, 4oz red wine, 2 cups celery sticks with lowfat dressing, SmartOnes Rigatoni w/vodka sauce (wouldn't get that one again, ugh) 486 1252 for day. I'd set a goal for 1400 but have had a hard time getting there cuz have been eating so many veggies. Decided to have a goal range instead, as long as I'm between 1200-1400, I'll stop eating when full rather than adding stuff to up calories. This is only happening because I'm eating better than I used to, less starchy fatty stuff. But am also keeping those saved calories in mind for when I go out tomorrow night and over the weekend. |
Congrats Strawberry! Way to hang in there!

1/24 thursday
I'm not happy to say I didn'thave a great food day.... ate badly and didn't count. But... I am trying to not be too depressed and down about it beacuse I need to do better today. I am absolutely forcing myself to count every calorie today no mater what. Because one thing is for sure I feel really guilty for binging on junk , and I realise its just not worth it in the end to eat the stuff and then feel this bad. I truely think I learned my lesson. So in a way I am sorta "happy" this happened cuz it pushed me in the right dirrection. |

Guess what? We've all been there! For me , more times than I can even count! Sometime, it happens.. every day won't be perfect.. you're doing so well though that all your good days sort of delete the one bad slip up you've had.. & the good thing is now you can use that as motivation to get back on track :hug: One thing Ive noticed about me is that if I don't plan my meals, I'm liable to mess up.. So planning my meals & snacks really helps me to focus.. |

Hugs Strawberry! Just like Phat said, it's going to happen sometimes. You just need to keep the "sometimes" in control and not them turn in to "all the time". And, if it's any consolation, I had a bad eating day yesterday also. Got some bad news that derailed me. I ended up drinking a few more cocktails than I planned for and at the end of the night found myself face first in the bottom of a bag of potato chips. :shrug: Today isn't looking much better and I think rather than cooking dinner we may end up ordering out. BUT, I got all my errands and grocery shopping done today and am loaded with fruits and veggies so tomorrow I get back on track! Am I bummed, a little, but I'm not stressing over it because it's life. I can't let these kind of days get me down and set me back.
Phat, you are doing A-MA-ZING! I wish I could do the Crystal Light drinks but a lot of those "diet" things give me terrible stomach aches. I think it's something in the sweeteners they use. So, even with my bad day yesterday, I tracked everything... Goal - under 1500 Yesterday - 2131 :^: |

Yesterday B-160 L-429 D-664 S-454 Workout 450 cal burn intense step class Total consume 1707 I hope it's ok going over since I did an intense work out to counter the extra cal and I feel all the foods that I ate were things like fish, protien drink and veggies. We'll see if this works for me, but gotta get a new scale Mine broke so I have no idea what is going on with my weight and it's driving me crazy. Yesterday I was going to get a new one but I figured it was that or go work out and I picked the work out. Yeay me! |
PHAT: I kno I have the same problem. I am fine with meals for the most part but I need to try more healthy snacks... but atleast yours are great and healthy!

I've been lurking but not posting. The bad news just keeps rolling in at the PotScrubber home. We've had to make some major adjustments to our future plans but they seem to be settled now. Time to shake it off, deal with it and move forward. I've still been tracking though but my results are dismal and the scale showed it today with a 1.8 pound gain. :^:

It's so hard to not get discouraged when u see the scale move in the wrong direction. I don't know how many times that it happens then I punish myself by eating more which doesn't make sense. Keep looking forward potscrubber!!
