Well I did make it through the night w/o eating anything else. So my reworked menu stands. Another day on plan. So it will a busy day today. I'm taking my car in for an oil change at 8am. Although I'm not driving to Richmond for the conference, we're using a county car, this was the only day I could squeeze it in. I hope to come back and do Week 2, Day 2 of C25k, take a shower, and head to the office for an hour before heading to Richmond. We will see how that works out. I'm packing this morning. I know, I know I should have packed last night but I fell asleep. I'm only going for one night so that helps. I was back and forth about taking my laptop. I figured I could get internet access at the hotel but it would either cost an arm and a leg that I wouldn't want the county to be charged for since they're paying for my room or they would have one measley computer in a small room. I will be staying at a Holiday Day Inn Express and they said on their website that there is free high speed internet access from your room. I'm excited about that. I'm always on the internet. Here's my menu for today at least what I know of it:

Today's Menu
BF--ww cinnamon raisin em with pumpkin butter, raspberries, coffee with sf flavored creamer
S--pudding
L--frozen meal with yogurt
S--100 calorie chocolate
S--100 calorie pack
D--Restaurant meal (15 pts)

WW--26+7 flex pts=33 pts

Okay I will check in this evening. Everyone have a fantastic day!

Thanks so much, Melissa. I'm slowly getting better.
Pumpkin spice doesn't taste like eggnog at all, at least since the last time I tried eggnog. Pumpkin spice smells so good and the taste isn't overwhelming. I love it warmed up.

Anyway, here is what I has on Wednesday.

Breakfast: Kashi and soymilk
Lunch: Tomato and mozzarella sandwich on rye
Dinner: Pasta with low fat cheese
Snack: oatmeal cookie

I did pretty well.

I hope everyone else is on plan as well!

Omg I'm up before the birds!! I have studying to do for an exam this morning but thought i'd better pop in quickly while my coffee brews. Wont be able to get back till this afternoon. Have another onplan day yesterday!! Peeked at the scale and got excited...I could actually be in the 220s by turkeyday!! If I'm spot on anyway!

I made 2 batches of pumpkin bread last night....OMG smells so good in here! None for me though!

Off to study! Have a great day ladies, I'll be back this afternoon to see how everyone is!

Bad day yesterday:

B: raisin bran, w 2 percent milk
S: banana, chashews
L: mcdonald's doublecheese burger (sigh) and small fries.
D:2 pieces of pizza, a turtle sundae

The bad part is that I went looking for this food. I was so stressed/sad and I just needed something. I am so angry at myself for letting that happen. Then I I was going to run and the whole day had gone away before I knew it and it was 5pm and already getting dark. By the time I got to the park, it was a little too dark, but there were a lot of people there and it was well lit, so I tried anyway. Well, my ipod was not working , so I just walked a mile and came home.

So I guess I'm the first one out of the 10 day challenge. I'll write more later, gotta go do groceries.

You arent out Leeda, just means you can only get 9 days on plan. Thats not to say the rest of us wont be missing a day too! Dont give up on yourself just yet!
Honestly, yes bad food choices but what did the calories come out to? One day isnt the end of it all! I hope things are better today so the stress monster isnt getting you!

Sorry for the pity party earlier. I'm usually an upbeat person, just personally stresses that I've never had to deal with before (ie child/husband related) have been getting to me. I can deal, it will just take time. In the meantime. I need to support my team members better!

Diva, congrats on being down another pound! You are moving along! I'm glad you've found a way of eating that works for you

Melissa, I'll be cheering for you to see the 220s next week!! I don't know what I would do without your level headed, encouraging posts. Thank you

Tera, glad you're feeling better!

Shay, that does sound like a busy day! That is really neat about the high speed internet. I haven't stayed in a hotel room in a such a long time, I didni't know they had stuff like that. Good luck with day 2 of C25k!

I am off to the park with the kiddo and then to the track. It's a pretty nice day, very windy, but nice and sunny. I'm going to make the best of it. I've already had a good eating day so far. I'm totally off schedule for my running plan, but luckily I have a little cushioning in it already. Today I will TRY to run 2.5 miles and then come home and do yoga once baby falls asleep.

I did 2.5 miles today. Baby had fun at the park, off to cook dinner!

Hey everyone,
I'm here on my bed in my hotel room. I am so happy that I got myself this birthday present (laptop). My mom has always told me to give myself a big present each year. I don't do it every year. A few years ago my b-day gift to myself was my treadmill. Anyways the hotel room is very nice. Microwave, fridge, coffee maker, free hi speed internet access in your room, continential breakfast and at about dinner time they make homemade cookies.

WW--26+10.5 flex pts=36.5 pts

We went to O'Charley's for dinner. It's on Dottie's Weightloss Zone which has the points for 567 restaurants. What makes the points so high is that the grilled chicken is huge so I doubled the points. Regardless I did well. Still on plan. For tomorrow--I brought my own breakfast food. Tomorrow for lunch will be a boxed lunch so I'm really not worried about that. For dinner tomorrow night me and my 2 coworkers are going to Cracker Barrel. We really have to travel a bit to get to one in Northern Virginia but there is one across the street from the hotel. Thankfully that's on Dottie's list too so I can get what I want for 9pts.

I was able to get my run in and it went well. After today I decided I am definitely able to move on to Week 3 next week. Saturday will be my final run for this week. I am really enjoying the program.

But the good news is i just came home from the supermarket yeay so hopefully my menus will look slightly closer to normal after this weekend. I also picked up a 14lb turkey for Thanksgiving (for 2 of us!) so I have a feeling I'm going to be having leftovers for quite some time.
