I ate exactly according to plan today. Which is good, because I really need to get back into my groove. It was very rough for a while there, and I know I jacked my body up a little with 2 weeks at 500-800 calories (I really couldn't help it, every time I tried to eat more, I couldn't keep it down). I have had to just let go and let it be.
Update for Tuesday...
L~coffee & peanut butter cookie
S~coffee
D~mushroom soup, stew over rice, toast, strawberry ice cream (all at the hospice--the chef is really good! Even Dad was able to taste and enjoy this dinner!).
Another day without alcohol and I'm going to take a sleep aid and really sleep tonight!

I have no idea what is in store for my Wednesday. I'm sure there will be a cookie involved, but without a lot of other meals, I don't think I'll go over my calorie max. Funny thing...my skinny jeans are still too tight. I would imagine I've lost over the past week without any alcohol and much smaller (or non-existant) meals, but I don't feel any skinnier. We'll see next Monday...

L - leftover rice, chicken, and frozen mixed veggies, lf string cheese

Allison I am also monitoring wine/beer/bloody mary intake
Forgot to mention cheese stick or my miller light lime cactus beer (95cal) that I had yesterday but they did go into my calorie counter

Balance bar
Salad with tuna, ham, beans, carrots, spicy peppers, sprouts
Miller light lime cactus beer
Trader joe cioppino stew/soup with added water and some tom yum flavor mix to add volume

I am so falling off the wagon. Work needs to stop having so many temptations, I need to start bringing more filling lunches (or stop eating so much so that the smaller portion will BE filling again), and the PMS this week isn't helping.
I always get extra hungry the week of my period. I should know this by now. I also know the solution: eat red meat. Maybe tonight I'll swing by the butcher shop and make tonight's planned curry with beef instead of chicken. Or buy some ground beef for homemade burgers this weekend.
nice to see you again. glad stress is over.
