  • Wow, what happened to our thread?!?!

    Well, I know what's happening on my end. Due to some very significant stress due to personal issues, I can't really eat more than one forced meal a day. So that's my past few days. Today my goal is to, um, eat more than that.
  • Amanda, I hope your stress resolves soon! That was me a couple weeks ago, trying to choke down some food while I was so stressed about the dog. I have yet to gain back the 5lbs I lost during that phase, which isn't necessarily a bad thing.
  • My dinners have not met plan this week, until last night. Monday and Tuesday both got mixed up due to DH being sick. We finally had the proposed Monday dinner of chicken and salad and I woke up a pound lighter. I guess that is why I planned it in the first place. So now, to continue with lighter dinners.

    S~grapefruit
    L~Smart Ones entree, pear, Activia yogurt
    D~ravioli and salad (NO breadsticks!)
  • Friday:
    B - oatmeal, raisins, ls jam, skim milk

    S - two cookie pieces, small pc carrot cake, small pc chocolate brownie cake thing
    D - broccoli, mushrooms, filet mignon, steamed fingerlings, fruit salad, lavender sorbet, glass of wine, too many little chocolate thingies
    E - none
  • Today will be interesting

    B~banana and cereal
    L~out to lunch, plan on salad, but sometimes I go for the special.
    D~cocktail party, don't know what will be offered
  • Yesterday I did not achieve my goal so much. I think my total consumption was:

    B - Banana
    L - English muffin w/ 2 tsp PB
    D - small heel of sourdough with 1 tsp PB, 1/2 cup NSA applesauce
    S - 1 serving NSA Ice Cream

    I did get my cardio and water in.

    Right now I am drinking a protein shake to see if that's more tolerable than solid food, which is not settling well in general. Also because I had planned to lift today. We'll see if I can do it in reality.
  • Already had to edit my post since I just pigged out on junk food at work. Oops.
  • Saturday:
