Could someone seriously fly to Florida and give me a kick in the pants? I don't know if a virtual one is strong enough.

I did walk into the $ store intending to buy ice cream, and walked out. But I still ate way too much. Tried to go to bed early to fight the food and stayed up reading b/c I couldn't fall asleep, then had cereal.


Amanda, . It's a very sad thing when your pet dies, I can relate. Hang in there.

The good news is 4 days of weighing 150! I made it through the weekend without the scale moving up!! Bad news? I had a horrible night's sleep and woke up famished and have already blown it today.

B~banana, 1.5 c ff Greek yogurt with 1/4 c pineapple, ww tortilla lf cheese quesadilla with salsa, coffee (and I'm still hungry)
S~nuts
L~banana, Lean Cuisine steak tips with spinach
S~Activia yogurt
D~meatballs and salad
gym~45 minutes

Thanks for the good thoughts, everyone. The three-day migraine (I think its a cruel joke of fate, personally, for CRYING to be my only migraine trigger) has finally (I think) subsided.

((copying from the previous thread where I posed this in error))
This weekend wasn't about emotional eating..it was about not being able to plan appropriately and be near my food. I did the best I could with a few slips but I'm sure the scale tomorrow isn't going to be pretty. Glad I can be back here and back on plan.

B - English muffin w/ egg whites, canadian bacon
S - Apple
L - Leftovers - Pizza Chicken, Polenta, Broccoli
S - Greek Yogurt
S - Popcorn
D - Chile Colorado Fajitas w/ ww tortillas, fat free sour cream, olives.
S - NSA Ice Cream Bar

E - 60 min elliptical, 60 min strength

I always got migraines from NOT crying. Thank goodness your migraine is better .

Tuesday:
B - muesli, skim milk
S - asian pear, apple
L - leftover healthy beef stew w/no yolks noodles
S - asian pear, apple, yogurt
D - tofu fried rice
S - slice of sourdough, bite of DH's PB&J sandwich
Exercise - 30 min UBWO/LBWO

Do you take anything prescription strength for your migraines (if I missed you mentioning it, sorry)? I get crippling migraines and the only prescription that has ever helped me is Relpax -- and it is non-narcotic also which is a big bonus to me.


Today's plan:

Exercise: Biking, walking [done!]

Food:
Oatmeal & fruit, coffee with stevia
Black bean burrito with veggies
Ezekiel cold pasta salad, boca burger, veggies
Apple with nat peanut butter

Josephine - way to go on meeting goal!

I was a little under plan on Friday & Saturday, went a little over plan on Sunday - felt like I was balancing the other two days out a little!

Today:
B: Smoothie, swiss chocolate almond coffee w/ fat free french vanilla creamer
S: trail mix or fiber one bar
L: grilled chicken sandwich
S: most likely a protein bar
D: hamburger helper w/ ground white turkey
S: chocolate milk, graham cracker with peanut butter

Exercise:
40 minutes resistance training on Weider - arms, 30 minutes elliptical: both done!

Amanda - glad you are migraine has subsided, I'm so sorry about your puppy. I had to do the same thing with one childhood dog that we had for 23 years, might find myself there again soon with a puppy that has been part of the family now for 13 years.

Josephine, I don't really get them so often that I've ever had a prescription, except at one point when I was given Maxalt and found it didn't really work for me.

Shannon - thanks. Hopefully you have some time left with your dog yet.

Planning for today -

Ideally, I'll add something else to fill in the minutes I'm short on my exercise ticker...I won't get quite to goal because I skipped a few days (once on Friday when I had to rush home, getting married, etc). I don't feel bad, per se, I just like meeting goals that I set, you know?

B~egg white omelet, coffee
S~nuts
L~meatloaf with broccoli frozen dinner (210 cals), tangelo

L - big salad with green leaf lettuce, 1 roma tomato, broccoli slaw, pepperocini, 6 sliced kalamata olives, red onions, 1 heated/crumbled veggie burger, Tzatziki (80 calories), estimating 300 for the whole thing

It was a new recipe - definite winner! Sausage was a fun change from my usual shrimp, penne was a fun change from brown rice.

Great day yesterday, looking for another today!

Exercise: Run [5.08 miles done!]

Food:
Everything bagel

I never got around to posting my food yesterday, was too busy. I still ate a piece of cake at work and ended up at 2100 cals. If I can just shave 400 off of that, and keep my gym workouts up, I'll be ok.

Amongst my food struggles it seems like a small thing, but I was really proud of myself for walking away from a half carton of Edy's light ice cream that was on sale at the store. (Light and on sale are two things that are hard for me to leave alone). I sat there and stared at it for a few minutes. I left and didn't eat any kind of snacks or dessert when I got home, and I was just fine. Now if I can do that a few more times each day...

Wednesday:
B - ww mini bagel, 1 T. lt cream cheese, 1 oz. lox, 1 c. 1% milk, coffee w h&h
