I would also like to cook homemade soup for dinner and only eat ONE serving of the chocolate my husband bought me. At least 60oz of WATER. So far I'm at 30oz.

    If it is not toooo cold outside, i'll try to walk one or two miles at lunch and maybe add a little jogging into it. but right now it is like 45 degrees outside.

    This morning, after writing my menu and shopping list, I wheeled my cart to three different local stores - the discount store to buy 8 cans of pea soup on sale; a produce store for fresh fruits and veggies and a general grocery store for the rest - including another 10 cans of different types of beans on sale! Then I pushed my fully loaded cart back home, carried all those groceries up a flight of stairs and put them away. Whew! That's my morning exercise.

    Afternoon exercise is stripping the beds and doing laundry. Two flights of stairs from the bedrooms to the laundry room.

  • Quote: B: Half packet of instant oatmeal
    Wow, I think 1 packet of instant oatmeal is usually not enough for me...I don't know how you have just 1/2 of one for breakfast!

    My plan for today:
    • 1 cup granola cereal w/1 cup skim milk
    • 2 small wraps (whole wheat tortillas, ff sour cream, spinach, and sliced turkey)
    • leftover pasta (whole-wheat rotini) w/homemade sauce (no-salt-added tomato sauce, tomato paste, diced tomatoes, turkey sausage, and seasonings) and about 1/4 cup Italian blend shredded cheese
    I had originally also planned a Campbell's Soup at Hand thing of chicken n' stars soup, but I already had lunch and am not thinking I'll be eating that, so without the soup, I come to 991 calories for the day
  • I wasn't even going to read here today. Yup, it's that bad. But I'm sure glad I did. You guys are awesome! And can you help feeling happier when you look at that picture of JuneBug ... she's just so darned cute!
  • awwwwwwwwwwwww..thank you susan!!

    have you fallen off the wagon today??? if so, s'ok once in a while!!! heck i ate chocolate cake over the weekend. granted i ate 1/2 the piece on sat and 1/2 of it yesterday but i am sure i could have done without!!!
  • I wonder if I still have this cut and paste in my computer mouse ...... A new week ... hmmm. I'm a bit messed around. I just finished my 3rd of 4 weekends in a row (one more to go starting Thurs). Four or five shifts over the weekend, ya know. Everybody does the TGIF thing and was grouchy this morning because it was Monday. I feel like I live in the twilight zone.
    I also feel like I need an abrupt halt, regather and restart. I just feel messed up!
    I'm going to clean up my kitchen, get fabulous food out for supper and go have a nap. Then when I get up, I'm going to pretend it's a new day and go good.
    Did you all read Ilene's post called are you lifting heavy enough? I think between that and my uber-supper ... I'll be off to the races!


    Yup, I do! Thanks for the encouragement CuteJuneBug. I've pretty badly gotten into the habit of having waaaaay more bad days than good. It's time to reboot. I'll get for that nap yet.
  • I need to post my daily eat's somewhere im getting off track and wanting to quit so i figured i'll write it here for everyone to see, go easy on me lol...

    Breakfast~ Chai tea with some honey, 2 kashi waffles, single serving applesauce sprinkled with cinnamon, and a orange.

    Lunch~ A package of starkist tuna zesty lemon pepper, with about 8 pickle chips and ff miracle whip, with about 15 carrots, and a single serving bag of doritos nacho cheese

    I have had the munchies bad lately just getting off tom, and i had a terrible binging weekend i just dont want to do this anymore, it's just one of those days kwim?
  • I had a bad food weekend too rysmommy, husband and I went out to breakfast and dinner saturday . Today I've eaten pretty well.
