Amanda I'm jealous of your nectarines. We just cannot get good ones here. They're hard in the store, and then pretty tasteless when they ripen. Peaches are not much better. Sigh. No access to good fruit is one of the drawbacks of living here.
Yesterday was pretty good considering I went to two BBQ's!
B - oatmeal with walnuts, skim milk, ww toast
S - ff latte, 3 Milano cookies (oops!)
L - turkey sandwich, banana
S - blueberry yogurt
D - Boboli pizza with zucchini, onions, peppers, turkey pepperoni
Ex: UBWO, probably at home as I have to go to something at 7, and I'll end up doing part before and part after, but it is what it is.
Robin, you didn't hear? My elliptical tried to kill me. Threw me into a closet doorframe (it broke...the elliptical, not the doorframe). I bruised the bone on my shoulderblade right where the tendons or whatever connect to it, so when I move my arm, it feels like someone is poking me in the middle of a bad bruise. Apparently bone bruises take months to heal...pleasant!
Oh my goodness. What in the world possessed your elliptical to do such a thing? Yikes. And no, it certainly doesn't sound pleasant at all. Here's hoping you have a speedier then anticipated recovery.
Okay. I was not perfect with my new imposed rule yesterday. I was perfectly on plan, but then again, was I really? If my plan was to not eat while standing - well then I wasn't. I was making a stir fry for lunch (yummy) and tasted it for the correct seasoning. I also had a couple of blueberries. But I was much, much better and stopped myself many times. I'm fairly pleased. Today, so far so good. Could be because I wasn't home all day until just a bit ago though.

The way I see it, in the factory, all of his other elliptical buddies told him life in a house was easy. Sure, the first couple days were hard and you got used a lot, but then you mostly just sat there as a clotheshanger. So imagine my elliptical's surprise when he got into my house and was used EVERY DAY for over TWO YEARS! He tried being subtle, breaking belts, wearing out wheels, hoping that I'd let him sit rather than repair him, but I just kept breaking out the tools and forcing him to work again. So he decided he had to take more drastic measures.
Poor little elliptical trainer had no idea what it was in for coming to live in Amanda's house!
Yesterday went about 100 calories over on peanut butter and graham crackers before bed, but I also burned 715 cals (according to my HRM) on the treadmill. Woo hoo.
Today:
E: nothing. I feel absolutely terrible - the sniffly, runny nose, coughing, sneezing, watery eyes, headachey cold that has been flirting with me all week really made its move today. I exercised the last four days, I'm feeling no remorse over taking today off.
B: smoothie, coffee
S: string cheese
L:strawberry poppyseed chicken salad from Panera Bread plus the chunk of french baguette I should have turned down as I knew the 'I can eat just a little and throw the rest away' line wouldn't work today... the salad was good, but had way too much pineapple and manadarin orange juice in the bottom...
S: Rachel's Relax Vanilla Chai yogurt - the Rachel's yogurts are my new favorites... slightly lower in calories than some of the other lowfat yogurts I've seen and the flavors are wicked cool...
D: take out from somewhere, I'm not feeling the cooking. Though I might have yogurt and ceral with some hot tea
Shannon, I hope you feel better soon. And I didn't know Rachel Ray was doing yogurt these days. I haven't seen it around.
Well, I blew it - AGAIN.
I was just cutting up some watermelon and some found it's way into my mouth. More then some, in fact. Too much. I'm very angry with myself. This has got to stop. I've got to STOP *it*. No one else can do it but me. All right. Felt good to get that out. I'm gonna give it another go........
I really, really would love to be a person who doesn't nibble while they cook/prepare/clean up....... I'm just wondering can I really, really do it......
Robin - gum? It has helped me when I have found myself falling into that trap. Usually just a few nights of it before I get out of the hand-to-mouth habit.
How have I not been in here today? Work busy, and shoulder is having a baaaaad day.
B - Egg whites, veggies, and turkey breast, mini bagel
L - Leftovers - Heirloom tomato salad w/ balsamic, grilled zucchini, chicken skewer
S - Smoothie - frozen berries, almond milk, nf greek yogurt
S - Popcorn
D - Grilled chicken salad w/ many veggies
S - NSA Ice Cream, berries
I took a break from journaling, which was probably a mistake. I feel like I ate so much today - but I know it's MENTAL. I thought, if I wrote it down, I could see it all laid out and I would feel better.
B - woke up WAY early, and woke up hungry. I had cut up strawberries, fat free Fage yogurt, a drizzle of honey, small handful of grapenuts for hungry
S - had breakfast so early, was starving at 10. had one whole wheat english muffin, toasted with apple butter
L - Chipotle bol - no beans, rice, chicken, two scoops of pico, lots of romaine, 1/2 serving of guac
S - coffee bean & tea leaf, small no sugar added mocha (drank about half, was feeling fat so pitched the rest)
S - small serving of dark chocolate spicy gelato (ate the whole thing)
D - home made spinach, tomato, chickpea, zucchini, leek soup. Skipped bread on the side, but put a little parmesan on top
You'd best be careful he doesn't talk to your other appliances!
