hopefully the woosh fairy will come to visit you now.

whoosy fairy did a dump on me. I was down another lb (don't like to record unless I see it twice) to 223 I am up 3 today 226. All water weight. ugh even my eyes are a bit puffy. I guess I over loaded the water yesterday and was not used to that much. the salad dressing tasted salty too. I guess hidden valley was too salty I will have to fine one that I like. and maybe the bread I know carbs will cause fluid retention. so maybe I tried that a bit too early in the game. Or just have to know that it will do that I am not sure what caused the fluid a bit of all i guess. but i wll need to be close to gas stations today, that may be hard I am glad Ihave napkins in the car!

Damn Petra...still eating that delish Prime Rib w/horseradish!!! I'm officially jealous! Okay..accountability...blaaa:

B - 1/2 cup cottage cheese (4%milkfat)
S - 1/4 oz Cashews (salted)
L - 1 Grilled chicken breast over garden salad (iceburg) w/2 tsp blue cheese
S - 1/4 cup Cashews (salted
D - Zero Carb Whey Protein shake
1 Banana
4 Strawberries

Exercise: 30 min, level 4 eliptical (sweat like a pig...and it was just what the doctor ordered!...love it) I felt real strong today.

I also drink about 1/2 gal of water and about a quart of "Yerba Mate" tea (I'll tell ya about it on the weekly chat section...ooooh...it's great!)

BTW, thanks Nasus for the pill reminder! When I sat down to post my gosh aweful daily menu today...I read your post about "pill popping" and ran to get my eve pills (I take fish oils, b6/kelp/lecithin/vinegar, and fiber pills). Sorry no macros...haven't put it into thedailyplate yet...I'll edit later.

Today:

1 oz. pecans

2 servings whole soy protein powder in coconut chai black tea (this was GOOD!!!)

1 MSM Emergen-C

6 cups chopped salad (eaten on 2 occasions) with romaine, spinach, arugula, celery, tomato, green onions, slivered almonds, cabbage, soy cheese, soy "slices", soy chicken and a lemon olive oil dressing

2 cups steamed broccoli

1 oz. sunflower seeds

1 1/2 oz. 88% dark chocolate

2 cups unsweetened vanilla almond milk

1 oz. flax and soy tortilla chips (these have 9 grams of carbs per serving, too many really for my liking, for the volume and nutrition, but I gave in to a craving/stress eating)

1/2 cup pickled spicy carrots

10 cups of water

I don't have time for the breakdown, but I met all my minimums today, even though it wasn't a typical day and I was stressed out!!!

SB I do like your choices. even those chips they sound actually good.

Man did I have a carby breakfast again. Greek yogurt with berries and nuts. Hard to feel guilty about that. We'll see how the rest of the day turns out.

Thanks, Nasus! I feel good this morning too, and that's a good measure of if my prior days plan was good for me or not. I enjoyed the chips (one serving) and it didn't cause me to spiral of control, so that's GOOD!!!

Petra that breakfast sounds great.

Here's the NSV Scale-free challenge I started, for those who are interested in celebrating all the changes we are making that aren't related to numbers on a scale! There's no reason we can't participate in many types of challenges, and so many people expressed they wanted a way to not focus just on the numbers on a scale as a measure of worth and progress.

Okay...here's my stats for today so far:

4 strawberries (fresh)
1/4 cup blueberries (fresh)
1/4 cup cashews (salted)
D - 1 cup Lentils w/smoked pork neckbones
S - 1 Sugar Free Peppermint Patty...yum!

Okay...that's it...this thread is great! Didn't enter my foods into dailyplate yet, but at least it's here so I can go back and input it! Yeah! Don't think I did too bad, but always room for improvement!

Exercise: 30 min cardio (elipticle) burned 345 calories!

SIC - I wonder how your famous "cheesecake pudding" would taste with some whey protein powder (maybe Vanilla flavor). Can you post the recipe? You've talked about it sooo much and DH and DD loves it sooo...I wan't some too! I will try to make it with maybe a scoop or two of Isopure Vanilla...and see how it comes out...that would definately be a nice change (and protein addition). Thanks.

Well I don't know what is going on here. I've decided to go grain free and this is my second day in a row over 2000 calories!! What's up with that?

L: BBQ chicken wings, 1 cup cabbage sauteed in coconut oil (leftovers)
