I manged to get back on track today and did well - so I am already thinking about tomorrow and the rest of the week. I know I gained, so I must work hard to make my goals this year

I hope everyone had a wonderful christmas and a very happy new year!

B- cran raspberry protien juice; two slices whole wheat toast and peanut butter
S- raisin bran bar; coffee with some cream and 0 cal hazlenut syrup
L- slim fast shake made with skim milk; sliced cucumber and antipasto
S- cup of soup
D- no idea
W- 4-6L
E- 1 hour first thing in the am

I managed to get back on track today also. I'll find out tomorrow when I weigh in at my WW meeting if I gained. If so I'll just have to work on repairing the damage. I think I needed a break and ate more especially due to TOM and cravings. Best wishes to everyone for this new year.

I was doing fine until a few days before Christmas. The cookies and chocolate, is killing me! I've been eating way too much. Hopefully tomorrow will look like:

B: tofu smoothie
L: nothing, because the only vegetarian meal I can get at school is greasy pizza or calzone
(with school and after school things I don't get home until 6)
D: probably a lot of grilled veggies and I'll try to eat yogurt.

exercise will consist of running through the conservation area before school at about 6am. After school I'll probably be hiking around a beach.

if it wasn't for ecology I'd have to find my own exercise

can't you take a lunch to school?? from the sounds of it, you need to eat more!!!

Happy new year!

I had about 1920 calories today; sounds high but I tend to eat this much on the weekends. Hopefully a little less next week!

TUESDAY PLAN

Exercise: 30 mins elliptical/30 mins weights

whole grain bagel w/ butter (400 cal)
Au Bon Pain sandwich turkey w/ goat cheese, romaine, tomato (410 cal)
broiled pork chop w/ rice, green beans (400)
protein hot cocoa (80)
yoplait FF yogurt (100)

That list amounts to approximately 1700 calories. I realize the breakfast is high in calories but I eat oatmeal a lot at home so I'm kind of sick of it for work breakfast; anyone have any suggestions on what else I could eat at work when I arrive that's lower in calories but filling (I either bring from home or usually buy at a deli, au bon pain, or cosi on my way in)?

I thought these size pork chops I've been eating for a long time were "medium" but fitday lists them as "large" when I ACTUALLY did the math (after endless converting first from pounds to ounces then by servings etc). If it werent for DH, I never would have bought the pork chops but I think he gets bored with chicken (or maybe its me that gets bored!). But sheesh, chicken has so fewer calories than meat (this really gets hammered home when you enter in fitday).

I always say I'm going to take a lunch to school, but I wake up at 4:30 and have just enough time. Sometimes I'll get soy chips.

Hey mami, what about having 1/2 the whole grain bagel but putting peanut butter on it instead? Less calories, more filling, better fat. Just an idea ...

Gossamer - you totally need to eat lunch. Make it the night before if you have to. Make extra grilled veggies for dinner tomorrow night and throw them into a pita with some hummus. YUM!! I remember the days when I used to skip lunch or just eat chips ... my blood sugar would hit the basement and I'd feel like fainting. Wouldn't want that to happen to you!!

You want to make sure you eat enough or you won't loss. I was eating good and exercising over an hour a day and I didn't lose a thing for 5 weeks thats when I realized I was eating too little - I started eating more and started losing Make it the night before, or if you have to take a frozen meal - but you need to eat
