OK...I'm scared.

I've had a hard time getting back on track after returning from vacation this week. My weight is up 6 pounds!! In fact, I've been very up and down all year and can't figure out why I'm not getting back into a groove. STRESS is part of the answer, we're trying to sell our house, already bought a new house, and now my husband's job is shaky. I'm ready to give up the new house even though we've already invested a lot into it.

In any case, I've reacted by stuffing my face. Which inevitably just adds more stress because now I'm upset about my weight.

So, the last time I really got on track was when I posted my intake for a week on Meg's summer accountability thread. I'm starting this new accountability thread. I'm going to post what I eat for the next 7 days. Feel free to join in.

I can't afford a relapse!!!! I just won't do it. Here's to a healthy, clean 7 days.

I am SO in on this! Thank you, Anne! It's perfect timing - I'm going on vacation in two weeks and need to get rid of the few pounds I gained while I was study-eating.

1: LC protein shake with 1/2 cup frozen peaches
2: 1 egg, 4 whites, 1/2 cup oatmeal (dry)
3: 3 oz salmon, green beans
4: 3 oz chicken breast, apple
5: will be chicken breast and salad

M4 -- same as M1
M5 -- 1 oz cheese 4 crackers
M6 -- We went out for supper we both had the salmon but the plate was gynormous!! Half small bowl of cream of chicken soup, 6 oz salmon (at least), 3/4c rice, 3 new potatoes, salad... I'm totally stuffed...

Ilene, we ended up going out for dinner too, at a local Middle Eastern restaurant. I stuck to the basic grilled chicken and salad idea, but it had a little feta cheese and a few olives. Plus I had a bowl of vegetarian chili. Plus a half of pita and some hummus. It still was a good day, overall.

My calories where wayyyy to high 1900
