Kashi Waffles w/Apple Butter
Tea
(250)

Mango Smoothie (Odwalla)

Snack:
I don't know, but I'm going for 1800 cals so I guess need about 300 cals worth of something!

I didn't have one the last time they brought them in

And yesterday I wanted some from the vending machine but I didn't want to give in just because I had the IWANTSOMERIGHTNOW cravings.

But I didn't feel right about having one until today. I've had virtually no junk food in the last couple of weeks, so it felt like it was time. I really wanted it, but I could take it or leave it.

Wednesday, May 16
B-1 cup oats, 1 cup fat free milk, 1 slice wheat toast, 1 tsp jam
S-string cheese, baby carrots
L-2 cups Progresso vegetable soup, crackers
S-grn pepper strips, cherry tomatoes
D-4 ounces tilapia, large salad with blue cheese crumbles, fat free dressing
S-Nutrigrain blueberry bar, or low fat ice cream sandwich

Oh, just when I wonder if it's worth it, I get to buy a bathing suit 2 SIZES SMALLER than last year!

Hey wings! Glad to see you. Sorry it was a sucky day. I wish I could eat 1800 cals! But I'm too short and too old.

rubberlegs, yeah, there are days like that--when it seems like it would be OK. I've done things like that--but I try to plan ahead. Or do some "damage control" the rest of the day if I need to.

G'night for now,

Jay

Well I have been eating 1500 cals, but while that originally had me losing a few lbs near the beginning of this week, now I'm suddenly gaining the weight back (I know I know, slave to the scale, but I haven't been doing anything differently) and I AM burning 700-900 cals a day exercising so I decided my body must be going into that "starvation mode" they speak of... so I'm gonna try 1800 cals for a few days and see what the scale says...

Good morning!

Wings--you're not going into starvation mode. It's more likely that your tracking of foods and/or exercise is off a bit. If it were me, I'd stay at 1500--but up to U!

LookingForHope! Cool about the bathing suit!

OK, the plan:

BREAKFAST:
1 Lg Shredded wheat
1.5 cups 1% milk
1 serving whey protein

SNACK:
1 oz. tuna
3 Triscuits

LUNCH:
Lean Cuisine--brick oven mushroom pizza

SNACK:
1/3 cup 2%fat cottage cheese
1 apple

DINNER:
L.C.--shrimp & angel hair pasta
3 oz. asparagus

SNACK:
