Where did our accountability go last week?

This week will be better...

Today:
E: really hoping to get in some exercise today. I can't inhale deeply without coughing yet, so that might get in the way of the exercise vision....
B: smoothie, coffee
S: string cheese, grapes, blueberries
L: grilled chicken salad
S: lf vanilla yogurt w/ kashi go lean, apple w/ light swiss laughing cow
D: turkey sausage over rice, broccoli
S: graham cracker or yogurt

What's accountability?

Oh.....

Well, my weekend wasn't awful, but wasn't 100% healthy either. I split a dessert with DH Saturday night and I had fritos (shock!!) last night. And 2 chocolate chip cookies in the middle of the night while waiting for babies to exit into our world.

Today:

yawn!!! a nap is in order!
eggs, zucchini, flour tortilla, a little cheese, red chile
That's all so far! One hour weights at the gym tonight!

I hope you get back to 100% soon, Shannon!

My weekend was also not bad, not great. I did have cupcakes, but I didn't BINGE on cupcakes, which I tend to do when I'm at a bakery where I can't go very often. I ate moderately and yesterday was back OP, but my scale has way too many factors going against it and is rebelling. I'll get back POP today, and it'll work itself out (I hope!)

S - ff latte

D - ?? really, there are likely veggies at home, and there's always chicken in the freezer, so maybe a stir-fry

Excercise resumes tomorrow. Tonight is unpacking and getting to bed at a reasonable hour. I hate flying home from the east coast....

Just a grateful comment from a mostly-lurker - Reading what the successful Maintainers are eating has been really enlightening. I doubt that most people who are reluctant to start a weight loss program would think to start here, but clearly, thin healthy people DO eat a lot, and eat a lot of incredibly delicious food! I'm "maintaining my losses so far", and this weekly thread is becoming one of my first stops each day because it's pretty amazing what y'all are doing to food!

POP again yesterday, and my vacation weight is gone. Actually, amusingly enough, today I am exactly the same weight I was on december 30 last year. Oh well, at least I'm not MORE than I was then. I guess it just goes to show that with my thyroid medicine dosage finally normalized, I am capable of maintaining my weight again.

Wednesday:
B - raisin bran, blueberries, skim milk
L - leftover mushroom zucchini risotto
S - tiny apple, small asian pear
S - small apple
D - chicken tamale casserole, green beans
E - HIIT run

I swear I wrote a post here yesterday, but now I don't see it... Sadness...

ICU - I sometimes feel like I'm eating all the time, my boss often asks me 'how do you keep from gaining all the weight back, you are eating every time I come into your office'.When I plan in advance and have healthy choices I seem to eat even more often! Now, I'm trying to get more creative with the cooking! Congrats on maintaining your loss so far!

Today, I may not exercise. I got 6 cortisone shots this morning in my shoulder, and I can't really move my arm. If 6 shots with a big wiggly needle isn't enough of a reason to skip exercise, I really can't think what is. But if I can, I'll do something.
