  • Friday was not a good day total mess up!!!!!!!!!!!!! I was distracted by all the things others were eating and joined right in! I am not even going to put it in its a waste of time and effort lets just say it was a wash!!!!!!!!!!!!! From fried fish no french fries though to dill chips with the hubby! Its not fair to have a husband who can eat anything he wants and never in his life have to worry about calories, fat , carbs etc. okay I am all done whining and its time to jump on again. It won't be easy as I'm off for a day with the girl friends but I will try to not be totally stupid with my food choices. I will be getting some exercise walking.
    Skyfirefly I know there is brighter scale days ahead just have to work at it!
  • Yup, there be brighter days ahead, Skyfirefly, never fear! It IS annoying about these people who just eat what they want and never gain weight, isn't it! Hope thou hast a good day with the gal pals and I think you're doing great!

    Ok, my two-day personal best challenge sizzled out today ... I swear I'm gonna just eat in the 1600 range starting tomorrow and not stop until I reach my goal! Dunno. That's not a promise, just a thought. I did briefly consider Milky Way Midnight bars when I was shopping but found some caramel Prias, which aren't all that healthy but an improvement. I need to eat a more balanced diet. Soon.

    Plugging in some fake numbers in my spreadsheet for the two binge days I had, my average for the week was an estimated 1950 cal ... I exceeded my goal of 330 exercise minutes by 45 and may adjust that upward next week after I see where I am weightwise.

    So it's been an informative week.

    Tomorrow is my weigh-in day and if that Demon Scale is not good to me, he's a lamp! Here's my damage:

  • Well its Monday and I guess I'd better get serious once again with this goal I have! The weekend is was really nice good friends, lots of laughs and girl talk and of course foods that were out of the norm! But sometimes we need to have a good time and we all deserve a break. My girl friend Sue was very helpful with buying me a chocolate chip cookie she said quote well at least it was from the health food store. I said yah cause they take all the calories out huh? Oh well I am off to at least a good start today and hopefully that will get me through my day.
    1 piece whole wheat toast with almond peanut butter Oh good!
    coffee and Kasha cereal puffed wheat
    Have a good day everyone!

  • Yo!!!! Yowza! Sis boom bah!!! Happy Monday, Journalettes! Since I'm working in mountains tonight, wanted to simplify and report exercise now as I'm done unless I take a walk or something. Will be back with menu later or tomorrow:

    Monday's exercise: Gym: 20 , 40 weight room (UB focus but did some legs and planks); Home: 20 Wai Lana yoga.

    Intend to stay on track caloriewise today as I'm sick and tired of messing around and want to reach my goal ... that said, I DID have two donuts, but counted them and they WERE cake donuts, not the much higher cal raised kind!
