Hi ladies!

Just doing the nightly checkin. I'm trying to stay at under 1000 calories for the next few days because I snacked quite a bit last night after I checked in. (I hate carb cravings!!!) I am, however, proud to say that I did not purge! This is a huge accomplishment, as I normally panic after eating late at night. *proud*

So today was 977, and I got all my protein and fiber, and over the RDA of everything but magnesium, phosphorous and selenium. I'm doin' good!

Was also down two pounds again this morning, which was a relief. I guess some of my re-gain was water and...uh...bathroom stuff, if you know what I mean. I hate that.

Did great with the leftovers today until it came to pie time. And the sad part is I feel sick, a small taste would have done fine. About 2500 for today and no running.

i'm not sure on the calorie content for t-day, I assume around 2-3000 calories. I thought that would be okay since I left all leftovers at my mom's.

I did a garage sale today that kept me so busy I didn't get lunch; thoughts of pizza came to my mind all day as I was starving, but was going to be good and go straight home and have grilled chicken.

Then suddenly out of the blue, my mom calls and says come over we have too many left overs. Bring the kids that way you won't have to cook.

Needless to say, "I couldn't resist; I was starving." Luckily there was only enough for small-moderate portions for all and the kids were served first.

Calorie count approximately 1849 for today.

i'm not sad; I will just continue on my regular diet and exercise this month. Weigh in is Wednesday. Lost two pounds this last week. So i just have to keep going...

day 95 - 1440 calories

Ack. Yesterday was awful. My husband was sick for Thanksgiving day, so he wanted us to have a second Thanksgiving. I was much much worse for the second one. I'm estimating 4500 calories.

Well, I'm dusting myself off and starting over. We don't have any leftovers, so that definitely helps.

Calories in:1972
Calories out: 2867
At least there WAS a deficit yesterday! *tee hee*

To all of you who had a day-after-T'day experience, I feel your pain. I had a hundred little victories all day & then a few defeats...but that was YESTERDAY! Today is brand new and so is my resolve. All I expect of myself today is to do better than I did yesterday. If I do that every single day, that's pretty good for me.

700 so far.

doesn't seem right but just stayed busy all day and thank God I didn't go out for lunch, but made sure I went grocery shopping and went straight home. Amazingly I am stuffed right now. Maybe because i ate so much the days before.

Exercise 70 minutes.

Tomorrow will try to eat small meals more often and get all my calories in. I still have some time in the day today so we shall see.

Good night to all!!

day 96 - 1345 calories

1365 for Saturday. I'm aiming back for my normal 1500-1800 today.

nice deficits everyone!

Saturday: 2057 calories, 291 deficit, no exercise
Sunday: 1566 calories, 851 deficit, no exercise

1400 for me today, plus about 10 pistachios that I haven't figured out yet, calorie-wise.

2102 today; went over by a smidge or two; lol but yesturday i was under. I was more hungry today. I better even out soon and pay more attention to input. Tomorrow is workout day with second trial of aerobics class. I have been going in the morning so I burn more fat by not eating first. Does anyone find success at this?

Love&LaughAlways - I always eat before going to an exercise class. If not, I tend to tire out towards the end and become very sloppy with the movements. When that happens, there's the chance of injuring myself. So anyway, I fuel up before.

day 97 - 1305 calories

thanks, what do you think is the best thing to eat before workout? carbs like cereal or protein like eggs and lite sausage?

before a workout small amounts of easy to digest food, carbs for energy (or dont eat, protein alone wont help low blood sugar) with maybe a small amount of protein to stabilize blood sugar. Not a full breakfast.

I am a southbeach gal but pre workout I do mostly carbs --insant oatmeal, toast etc
