    Will likely have some cereal or pretzels yet or something.

    An hour of working out in the pool today. Getting there on the water.
  • Eydie, try a graham cracker, pb, banana and honey ... and protein powder, of course!
  • Oops, no sooner did I post this than I fell prey to another Slimfast can, so the total's 2100. I should be ok with the other four cans of this stuff I have as I want to save one for the friend who gave me the pb and take three traveling with me tomorrow.
  • Huzzah back at ya, Anagramatic!
  • Adding 2 whole wheat rolls w/btr spray and a low carb Slimfast! Total: 2360!
  • Added the rest of the slimfasts! Total 2920.
  • Better start this week hope I can keep it up. Yesterday I didn't eat the yogurt but did stick pretty close to my menu . Other than my son in law stopping in with an open bag of barbecue chips I had a handful of course. But on a saving note I did make it to the gym and did the treadmill for 2 1/2 miles and burned 226 cal in 37 min. so I guess I am even????????? Amarantha thanks for your kind support!
    Tues. weigh in down again thank the Lord!!!!!!!!!!! Maybe it was water wt. as long as its gone I don't care what it was!!!!!!!!!!!
    Tues. Kashi cereal 1/2 c and 1/2 grape nut flakes and a splash of 2% milk
    Lunch- salad w/ turkey breast and cukes, tomatoe w/ olive oil and balasmic
    1 pear
    Dinner - chicken on the grill w/ lemon and garlic
    broc. w/ feta cheese Water , water, water and coffee2 , exercise
    Will add the rest later but this is the plan subject to change. I am trying to preplan and hope it helps stay on task better. One can only hope!

    I'll edit if I add another shake tonight but don't really want it, may later.


    We have one more day in June ... do we want to do a July thread? Consensus, please!?
  • Great day there, Empress. And good plan, Sky.

    Tuesday
    half of a rye bagel w/1tbspn pb
    mix Kashi cereals w/skim milk
    slimfast meal bar
    scrambled eggs w/ham
    2 slices ww w/light amt jelly
    celery (lots)
    2 svgs fr yogurt (200)
    1 small piece lemon meringue pie
    1 piece of candy (30?) (also had one last night after posting)

    No exercise, not yet at water amount

    I think I'm going to take a sabbatical for a bit after I finish out June. Need to find a new focus to keep me fresh.
  • In all honesty, Anagramatic, I'm leaning towards a sabbatical, too, or maybe a new kind of challenge, but I just wanted to see what everyone's thinking was. If someone posts this thread again for July, I might hop on board again, though. Can it really be July already?
  • Yo! Well, I'm officially announcing that I'm taking the day off from journaling! Huzzah! It's been a great and helpful experience ... we've carried this journal on for two months (or maybe it was more, I don't remember). I'm not inclined to be the new thread starter if there's one but (as stated above) might (or not) hop on board if there's a July thread and the enthusiasm starts up again!!! Can't decide what my focus will be for July yet ... other than work!

  • Wednesday so far

    mix Kashi cereals w/skim milk
    Swiss cheese on 2 slices ww/Foreman'd
    celery
    red beets
    more celery
    ground steak/rice mixture
    slimfast meal bar

    Add 1 svg fr yogurt

    No exercise, enough water

    Since June has ended I'm going to take a break from journalling here. It's been very informative and helpful. Just need to do something else for a while.
  • Wed. I didn't put much thought into planning what I'd eat today so I guess it wasn't as bad as it could have been.
    2 eggs, 1 1/2 whole wheat toast w/ little I Can't Bel. Butter
    2 coffee's
    no real lunch- 3 slices cheese 5 wheat crackers red. fat
    oh oopps! 1 cheese, broc. sausage calzone with 3 Tablespoons sauce
    diet coke, water no exercise other than a few walks in the garden
  • Huzzah, guys!!! Everyone here did a wonderful job journaling in June! I think a be in order: Sis, boom, bah!!!
  • Today I'd better get my butt to the gym, I haven't been since Monday. I have let a few bad choices in the last couple of days too much bread not white though, at least that is something. Not really over eatting but not doing what is best for me thats for sure. Then there is the 4TH now that means a picnic at my sisters, I will attempt to do good choices. Maybe I will exercise before the picnic so I can induldge in a few things without harm to myself.
    Take care and I will catch up later.
    Sky fire fly Happy 4th everyone!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!
