Jessica, I feel your pain. Friday, as I was afraid might happen, was influenced by the martini's served and my resolve went out the window. I overate a little at dinner. But I overate in a different way than normal. I was eating my usual portion, but got full midway though. I actually stopped and recognized that I was full and was about to push it aside. But we sat there chatting for too long and I ended up finishing my meal even through I wasn't hungry. I then allowed myself a second martini, which lowered my resolved and I ate way too many dark chocolate covered edamame. But I recognized all my behaviors and thought about how I would like to react the next time and then moved onto a great Saturday and am expecting a great Sunday as well. So I'm sort of making up of the over indulgence of Friday I guess you could say.
Saturday
Breakfast at mom's. Bagel w/ 1 egg and one slice of swiss cheese. Coffee
Lunch - whole wheat and flax flatout w/ chicken, swiss cheese, bell peppers and onions, carrots w/ humus

Dinner - White Chicken Chili w/ plain greek yogurt and homemade guacamole

Tomorrow we're out of town all day. So I'm planning on eating sensibly and really listening to my hunger cues.
Weight is going up, eating is getting out of hand, I know it's emotional (related to my chronic tendinitis issues flaring up again), and because of these injuries I can't work out to offset it. So, back on the wagon, my breakfast calories are officially logged and counted, and I need to get my weight headed in the right direction again.

L - leftover pasta and veggie sauce stuff

Ahhhh, back to normal today. I'm so glad! I'm ready to recover. I stepped on the scale this morning...not happy...but I will not let it derail me from the big picture of my calorie counting transition. I know why it happened, I know how to fix it, so let's get to it.

ncuneo~my favorite thing at the Yard House is their pear and walnut salad. Yum! I used to pair it with their tomato bisque soup until I figured out how many calories THAT was. Now I stick to the salad.
LOL! Yeah, we were out of town in SD for a Padres game and I pretty much just said f-it I want the turkey burger. I know the cals are ridiculous, and I *tried* to only eat half, but it didn't work out. These last few days I have not been able to satisfy my hunger, I seriously don't know what is going on and it's really frustrating me. I thought it was the extra running I did the last two days, but today I'm still hungry and I don't exercise until this afternoon.
I can tell it feels a little different though, so I don't know if something hormonal is going on or if there is some emotional stress I'm ignoring or not dealing with...I wish it would just go away! Oh well!
Wednesday:
B - oatmeal, raisins, ls jam, skim milk
L - PB&J on wheat, frozen mixed veggie
S - tangerine
D - patty melts using ground chicken on ww bread, salad w/carrots, beets, lf dressing
S - ralston wheat cereal w/ls jam
E - none

B~cereal
L~Smart Ones entree, apple, Activia Yogurt
S~2 crackers with peanut butter
D~either marinated chicken and salad or fish tacos (depending on if I get to the store or not)
E~30 minutes treadmill
I don't know what's happened to me today! DH and I completely forgot to decide on dinner for tonight, so that's up in the air and I completely forgot the entre portion of my lunch! UGH...
The scale is still up from my grandparents visit and weekend o' fun, but moving in the right direction. I'm taking about a 3 day break from running this week in hopes that my ankle will heal completely before I need to start training next month.
Yesterday I had an extra snack before the gym, just a kashi granola bar and I was tired so I had a GU energy gel as well. I also added a small side salad to dinner. Since I added those things I skipped my evening snack and felt pretty good about that.
Wednesday
B - Coffee w/ sf creamer, flaxseed waffle sandwich w/ natural PB and banana
L - I have my side salad, and will probably run to the grocery store and pick up a frozen Kashi (boring...oh well)
S - microwaved apple w/ cinnamon, w/ LF cream cheese sweetened w/ agave nectar
D - ????? But it will be on plan.
S - probably nothing since no exercise today
On plan, trucking along, and SORE from lifting yesterday.
B - Kashi Go Lean w/ strawberries, almond milk (i've been CRAVING cold cereal lately...this is the only one with enough protein not to be a binge trigger).
S - Pineapple and Strawberries
L - Leftovers: Giant grilled chicken salad w/ spring veggies, homemade dijon vinaigrette.
S - Protein shake
D - Pork tenderloin w/ bbq sauce (a lower-sugar variety) on a 100 cal sandwich thin, loads of veggies, side of roasted asparagus.
S - NSA Ice Cream, sliced strawberries
E - 45 min incline trainer, 45 min Tae Bo video, 100 pushup challenge (week 2, day 1 again, since it was a struggle)
Made it under 1400 cals yesterday, finally. And yet, my weight is up today.
Thursday:
B - oatmeal, raisins, ls jam, skim milk
L - leftover patty melt & salad
S - tangerine, banana
D - pasta w/sauce of ground chicken, pepper, onion, garlic, crushed tomatoes, kale, spinach, carrots, asiago
S - nf greek yogurt
E - none
