I was OP Sat, yesterday and today; didn't count cals on Sun. Got on the scale this a.m. . . up two lbs. Srsly, I stay OP and nothing happens, go off for a day and the scale climbs.

Ugh, having a hard time. |
Summerlove- hey they say a "refeed" or "cheat" day can do wonders for boosting the weightloss. We can always hope though right?
K9- Good luck with the thyroid meds, and the race! Thats super exciting (race of course not possible thyroid issues)! looseseal- Boo! That sseriously isn't fair. I'm crossing my fingers you have a big drop this week. Yesterday turned out much differently than the planned meals. Ate some awful foods, but sine I didn't eat much of them I still stayed under my 1730 calorie goal. Gotta update yesterdays actual. |
I binge yesterday, didn't keep track but probably ended in the high 2000's.
The calories are not so much the problem, but everytime I overeat "unhealthy" food I can't sleep. My gallbladder kills me all night! So I will not count calories for the next 3 days because I'll be doing an apple "detox". Searching online says that 3 days of eating organic apples would help cleaning the gallbladder. Might as well give it a try, I am tired of taking advil. |
:rollpin:*edit So again I didnt stay with the plan on the planned foods. Not too upset with the end result though. I have been landing a bit higher on the calories, I guess come monday we will see if this level is enough to lose.

Hi! I was wondering if I could join in? :) I really need to get my calories under control. I've been really motivated with healthy eating and exercise, but I just am having so much trouble getting my cals in order! I think this group can really give me that extra motivation I need :3 I'm going to try and stick to 1600 but allow myself more on intense workout days.

There is no way I'm going back to where I left off :lol: Who wants to read all of that anyway??
I survived Easter with only a couple dark chocolate eggs and 9 starburst chews--no Starburst Jellies even! I don't guess I missed them. I worked Easter Night and Monday night. Here's the damage: Sunday Cals: 1404 :woohoo: Water: 64 oz :exercise: 299 Monday Cals: 1765 Water: 64 oz :exercise: 568 Tuesday Veggie Lasagna, Cereal, PB Crackers: 378 Veggie Lasagna, Granola: 378 Veggie Lasagna, Granola, Yogurt Raisins, Trail Mix, Green Beans, Fiber Bar: 737 Protein Shake: 115 Total: 1934 Water: 88 oz :exercise: 712 :wl: I've had a better last couple of days with cravings and hunger. I think ovulation is over for this month and I hope it has taken all of these pesky symptoms with it!! Especially the increased hunger!! I adopted the "Leave Your $ at Home" technique on work nights. It is defo working to keep me out of the cafeteria and off the junky snack food at work! If I don't take it, I can't eat it :) It's pathetic I can't even take money with me out of fear of over-consumption of food!! |

looseseal: Awesome! Staying OP and running!!
K9Owner- Awesome easter for you! You really knocked it out of the ballpark with your calories. Yesterday was such a struggle for me. I did great fighting off the (many many!) craving yesterday for my nemisis foods (salty fried junk). But I ended up giving in at dinner to a LARGE helping of mashed potatos. Since I burned around 500 calories I am ok as far as level of net calories, but I really want to stick with the 1750 as my total, not just net. Better choices today. I can do this. |
Alright maybe this is beginning to border on insanity that I keep trying to lay out a pln for the day (and inevitably not follow it). But maybe with practice it will come??

Well, 1st day of the "apple detox" went just fine. No cravings, no crazy thoughts about food... didn't even feel hungry... let's see how today will go.
I guess for me it's easier to do it because I am doing it to feel better.. Yesterday I had like 8 apples... red delicious... I am sure by tomorrow they won't be so delicious anymore :D |
Thanks so much k9owner and wannabfitnessbuff, I'm already loving it! :D
looseseal-I think its so amazing you ran for 30min! wannabfitnessbuff-I've been having the exact same issues :/ my nets are usually ok from all the exercise, but I really just want to stick to a number.
