I think I need to work on my tendency to eat too many servings of desserts and seeing that you were able to modify your eating behavior, I feel like maybe I can actually do it. Especially because I didn't used to have this problem until meeting DH, who is a member of the clean plate club. |

Hey Jessica!
I fell off plan yesterday, hit face first into McDonald's takeout at midnight... Monday - B - oatmeal, forgot my coffee! S - trail mix bar L - chicken salad S - protein chocolate milk after run D - broiled mahi, roasted corn, broccoli & carrots S - Sam Adams, some microwave popcorn S2 - nuggets and fries from McDonald's when we got home at midnight and found the AC not working right after the early AM annual service E - 4.5 mile run, yoga Today needs to be better. I feel bloated and gross. Tuesday - B - oatmeal, coffee S - maybe none, still feel full L - quinoa pilaf w/ grilled chicken I think S - depends on if I exercise while waiting for AC tech or not D - broiled pork chops, roasted red potatoes S - probably a beer and maybe more microwave popcorn - we have been rewatching the Harry Potter movies at the neighbors before we go see the new one Sunday E - planning db circuit, stationary bike, yoga |
Okay, really bad case of the munchies today. I blame TOM.
Tuesday: B - bran flakes, blueberries, peaches, skim milk S - yogurt L - leftover panzanella and pasta/veg stuff S - banana, grapes, cherries, slice of strawberry pound cake, 2 pb cookies, some gum D - smoothie of banana, peaches, blueberries, skim milk; leftover panzanella; leftover cucumber salad; watermelon; PB E - pilates this morning |
Despite the massive munchies yesterday, my weight is down today. Go figure. Today is shaping up to be another munchie day.
Wednesday: B - raisin bran, blueberries, skim milk S - hot cocoa, string cheese L - leftover panzanella and pasta veg stuff S - nectarine, cherries, bread stick D - leftover ricotta tart, roasted potatoes, carrots, beets, cauliflower, chicken E - none |
Yesterday turned out badly. Breakfast and lunch were good, after that it all went south.
B - oatmeal, coffee S - granola bar L - quinoa pilaf w/ grilled chicken S - frozen yogurt, mini bag of pretzels, mini granola bar D - chinese food - egg roll, two chicken wings, brown rice, hunan shrimp S - corona, popcorn S2 - raisins at 1:30 am Today isn't shaping up any better. It is fascinating how fast forward progress can be arrested and put into a tailspin. |

I'm rootin' for ya'll here. I just don't post my food anymore, cuz hamburgers and dogs, icecream, and pie is not exactly encouraging to others. I've won the battle...I've earned the right to eat anything I want as I've conquered the ALL or NOTHING attitude and learned how to exercise moderation. I'm so in tuned with my body that one day of eating a dozen cookies will not destroy me. Posting my food intake was a great idea for the past 9-10 months, but now it would serve nothing more than to make me think waaaay too much about food...and to be honest...I got it. After 9 months...I know what I gotta do and can feel when I've gone too far and it's time to scale back a bit on the pies, cookies and icecream!:cool: That said...I will be forever weighing in weekly, so that I can keep check that my weight doesn't get out of control and if I need to make any further calorie adjustments or have difficulties maintaining in the future, you can all rest assured that I WILL be back logging every morsel. But until such time (prolly when menopause hits me in a few years), I want to enjoy my new found FREEDOM. All the best ladies!:hug: I'll still be cheering you all on though!;) :cheer2: :carrot: :cheer2: |
Joy, love your avatar pic!
Thursday: B - raisin bran, blueberries, skim milk L - leftover pasta veg stuff; then from the free food pile in the breakroom, some caesar salad and a mini cinnamon roll thing S - plum, greek yogurt, three hershey's nuggets :o D - breakfast for dinner -2 turkey sausage links, 2 eggs + 2 egg whites, zucchini, bisquick biscuits (2.5) E - 38 min 8.8 mile bike ride |
Yesterday was terrible, too. There was ice cream involved at the end of the day when I arrived home to a working AC but no internet service. Had to buy a new router, so got ice cream at the same time. I'm not logging it because I'm embarrassed.

Good luck joyful! I wish I could say that I'm in control now, but sadly I'm not. I remember living the 'I'm in control and cookies don't hurt me' life over the last couple of years and I want it back. Hopefully I'll be there with you again in the before too long. :)
