S~hmmmm
L~lean cuisine, tangelo
S~yogurt
D~steak, broccoli and small red potato

I behaved very well Friday night at beer club, but ate some extras Saturday being lazy and munchy. Sunday I kicked my butt into gear and ate POP, went for a morning 8 1/2 mile powerwalk and had afternoon benchpress training/50 min. elliptical at the gym (I'm really getting scared about the competition weigh-in and was mad at myself for being lazy Saturday). I keep telling myself that what I really need to do it run more, and do more high-intensity cardio, but can't make myself follow through *grumble*.

Ignoring the brownies someone brought to work today.

gym - walked 2 miles, ran 3.5 miles, abs/core 30 minutes
post-gym snack - protein muffin
Book club for dinner - ~6 oz. roasted venison, 1 cup roasted brussel sprouts in some kind of light sauce.
Cal - ~1690 and great cardio day!

Today - over by 300 cals. I was super hungry, but wish I had showed a bit more restraint. Oh well - I did the extra workout, too, so probably ended up at a wash calorie-wise.

Tomorrow's Plan:
B - Light wheat bread and egg beater french toast, 1 cup strawberries
S - Greek yogurt, more strawberries
L - Leftovers: Grilled chicken salad w/ edamame, tons of veggies, greens, sesame ginger dressing.

E - 60 min step, 60 min strength training intervals.

So yesterday I was supposed to bring the rest of the petits fours in to work to get rid of them but I forgot. However, I didn't eat any of them! (DH ate almost all of them and then felt guilty though.)

Tuesday:
B - raisin bran, milk
S - banana
L - pasta, peas, chicken, sauce
S - 100 cal pack popcorn, yogurt
D - roasted cauliflower, baked potato w/bbq sauce, rotiss chicken, and 1 Tbsp cheddar cheese
S - petits four (they are all gone now though!)
E - 20 min walk with dog

Yesterday was perfectly on plan for me. First POP day in a while! Came in 200 calories under my calorie goal - planned it that way to give myself a little calorie cycling.

Today:
Exercise - 55 mins yoga done, some treadmill when I get home. Just got it put together last night so haven't used it yet.

B: smoothie,
S: pb&j
L: grilled chicken salad
S: apple
S: kashi go lean
D: vindaloo chicken over wild rice
S: skinny cow

Ridiculously hungry again yesterday. Added an extra serving of cashews before dinner and 4 whole wheat crackers with a laughing cow cheese after dinner. I feel like my body is sabotaging me. I'm at a good weight, all my clothes fit perfectly, I am eating what I always eat - so this inexplicable hunger is making me so miserable
