Good Morning .

Well, yesterday was as perfect as I was going to get. I kicked *** at the gym, (ran 2 miles on treadmill then 45 mins of circuit training w/weights) and managed to eat fairly well. Didn't eat badly but ended up with a higher calorie intake than usual. Still 1641 cals wasn't too bad and I burned off around 500 at the gym.

For today:-

Breakfast - Bowl Grape Nuts w/1% milk and raspberries, tea with milk.

Snack - cherry toms and cottage cheese

Lunch - Chicken Salad from Chik-Fil-A, pear, baby carrots

Snack - Apple w/peanut butter

Dinner - Chicken and Biscuits (home made) w/cauliflower

Water - 2 liters

Exercise - Today is rest day after last night, my little legs are sooooo sore! Tonight I will likely exercise my cringe muscles by watching the American Idol auditions whilst consuming delicious chicken and biscuits, mmmmmm!

Good luck all!

I am going to miss my goal of 80 miles for Jan by 7...oh well, vacation got in the way! if i would have put miles skiied or miles walked while on vacation I would have exceeded 80

I had a bowl of oatmeal and 1/2 banana for breakfast. Added some cinnamon and sweet and low into it...very yummy this morning!

I have been not doing so well planning for my day(s) here at work, mostly because I am bored with eating healthy!!

Today is speed work on the treadmill... 440x5 splits plus a 1/2 mile to warm up and cool down. add in 45 crunches and thats my workout.

PMS monster strikes again. I made smoothies for Jeff and me last night after dinner (not bad--bananas, frozen strrawberries, skim milk, a little vanilla, and a little Splenda), which would have been fine if I'd stopped there. But no...I then scarfed up some leftover Chinese takeout (pork lo mein). Best estimate per Fitday: 2065 calories. Actually, that's not horrible, I guess, but I was hoping for a low day.

Today will be better, but I will have to work for it! My craving for something sweet and salty grabbed me hard this morning, so I bought some yogurt-covered pretzels from the cafeteria downstairs. We're having lunch out at a restaurant today for a going-away party for a coworker whose last day is today. Here's what I'm thinking for today:

• yogurt
• yogurt-covered pretzels and strawberry milk
• something as low-cal as humanly possible from Famous Dave's for lunch--I'm on my own since their website/online menu does NOT provide nutritional info
• 2 Morningstar Farms veggie burgers on wheat buns w/spinach and honey mustard

Assuming lunch is less than 700 calories, I should be able to stay below 2000 for the day

I am back at work today..I am doing better all ready
B- toast (whole wheat)
S- grapes
L- trukey sand. on whole wheat
D-???

Lift weights tonight and I really hope to get my walk in....

I had a perfect food day yesterday and it's not bad going today!

Missed my run yesterday lunch but kickboxed and lifted last night.

Just kickboxing tonight, I'm getting a little bit hungry... might have to try and get some proper protein snacks in rather than just fruit.

I just looked at fitday... I've had 7 portions of fruit and veg today! But that's so many carbs (yes really - I never really counted the carbs in veggies very seriously!) that my fat is down to 11%

I need about 50kcals of fat! Then I'm all out on calories! I think I need to eat a pat of butter!

My goal is just to stay on plan today, nothing heroic! And to walk home from work. I've been having a hard time getting back on track so even two days in a row of doing what I'm supposed to do is an accomplishment right now!

Good luck, everybody!

I weighed today. No budge. That gets so depressing and irritating. I know I lost eleven lbs total in one month, but now that I'm weighing regularly, NOTHING. I'll weigh tomorrow and if nothing I'm going back to weighing once a week. At this rate I'll not look that great when my mom comes in late feb.

Today is a "FAT" day, meaning I feel fat in all ways. Ugh.

Karma
