Could someone seriously fly to Florida and give me a kick in the pants? I don't know if a virtual one is strong enough.
I did walk into the $ store intending to buy ice cream, and walked out. But I still ate way too much. Tried to go to bed early to fight the food and stayed up reading b/c I couldn't fall asleep, then had cereal.
Amanda, . It's a very sad thing when your pet dies, I can relate. Hang in there.
The good news is 4 days of weighing 150! I made it through the weekend without the scale moving up!! Bad news? I had a horrible night's sleep and woke up famished and have already blown it today.

S~nuts
L~banana, Lean Cuisine steak tips with spinach

((copying from the previous thread where I posed this in error))
This weekend wasn't about emotional eating..it was about not being able to plan appropriately and be near my food. I did the best I could with a few slips but I'm sure the scale tomorrow isn't going to be pretty. Glad I can be back here and back on plan.

Do you take anything prescription strength for your migraines (if I missed you mentioning it, sorry)? I get crippling migraines and the only prescription that has ever helped me is Relpax -- and it is non-narcotic also which is a big bonus to me.
Today's plan:
Exercise: Biking, walking [done!]
Food:
Oatmeal & fruit, coffee with stevia
Black bean burrito with veggies
Ezekiel cold pasta salad, boca burger, veggies
Apple with nat peanut butter
I was a little under plan on Friday & Saturday, went a little over plan on Sunday - felt like I was balancing the other two days out a little!
Today:
B: Smoothie, swiss chocolate almond coffee w/ fat free french vanilla creamer
S: trail mix or fiber one bar
L: grilled chicken sandwich
S: most likely a protein bar
D: hamburger helper w/ ground white turkey
S: chocolate milk, graham cracker with peanut butter
Exercise:
40 minutes resistance training on Weider - arms, 30 minutes elliptical: both done!

Reason: typo... :(
Amanda - glad you are migraine has subsided, I'm so sorry about your puppy. I had to do the same thing with one childhood dog that we had for 23 years, might find myself there again soon with a puppy that has been part of the family now for 13 years.
Josephine, I don't really get them so often that I've ever had a prescription, except at one point when I was given Maxalt and found it didn't really work for me.
Shannon - thanks. Hopefully you have some time left with your dog yet.
Planning for today -
B - Pizza English Muffin
S - 2 Plums
L - Leftovers - Chicken Chili Colorado Fajitas on WW low carb tortillas w/ mango salsa
S - Popcorn
S - Greek Yogurt
D - Grilled pork chop with homemade mango salsa, homemade black beans and rice, side salad.
S - NSA Ice Cream Bar
E - 60 elliptical
Ideally, I'll add something else to fill in the minutes I'm short on my exercise ticker...I won't get quite to goal because I skipped a few days (once on Friday when I had to rush home, getting married, etc). I don't feel bad, per se, I just like meeting goals that I set, you know?
B - Toasted double fiber english muffin w/ homemade pumpkin butter, greek yogurt.
S - Apple
L - Leftovers - grilled pork chop w/ mango salsa, black beans and rice, side salad
S - Popcorn
S - Yogurt
D - London broil, baked sweet potato wedges, brussels sprouts
S - NSA Ice Cream Bar
B - half a container of non fat plain greek yogurt, 1 teaspoon (okay, a big teaspoon) of raw honey, sliced strawberries (200 calories)
L - big salad with green leaf lettuce, 1 roma tomato, broccoli slaw, pepperocini, 6 sliced kalamata olives, red onions, 1 heated/crumbled veggie burger, Tzatziki (80 calories), estimating 300 for the whole thing
S - sooo sleepy, had a cup of coffee with a 50 calorie low cal cocoa stirred in
S - cheese string (60 calories)
S - tangelo (100 calories)
D - made a really yummy spicy sausage stir fry - 1 chicken sausage (130 calories), tons of broccoli, can of fire roasted diced tomatos, onions, garlic, 2 oz whole wheat penne, carrot shreddies, snow peas - I estimate 500 calories for the whole thing. It was a new recipe - definite winner! Sausage was a fun change from my usual shrimp, penne was a fun change from brown rice.
I never got around to posting my food yesterday, was too busy. I still ate a piece of cake at work and ended up at 2100 cals. If I can just shave 400 off of that, and keep my gym workouts up, I'll be ok.
Amongst my food struggles it seems like a small thing, but I was really proud of myself for walking away from a half carton of Edy's light ice cream that was on sale at the store. (Light and on sale are two things that are hard for me to leave alone). I sat there and stared at it for a few minutes. I left and didn't eat any kind of snacks or dessert when I got home, and I was just fine. Now if I can do that a few more times each day...
Wednesday:
B - ww mini bagel, 1 T. lt cream cheese, 1 oz. lox, 1 c. 1% milk, coffee w h&h
S - sm banana
L - 3 oz. canned tuna w/ 1/2 T. lt mayo (forgot my tortilla to make a wrap with it, doh), 1 c. carrots & 1 c. celery, 1/4 c. feta & spinach dip
