I feel a lot better just having written it. I just lifted weights and that made me feel better too. I weigh myself everyday...but the one that counts is on thursday. And it feels like every thursday I weigh the same...I'm willing to try not weighing myself until next thursday and we can check in with each other. I'm not trying to be a hypocrit...I've always been a monster to myself but I can't stand watching other people do it to themselves. I guess I should work on that. Thanks for the pep talk
I feel better today...I think my TOM is coming. Running went better this morning...I didn't feel so exhausted.
B: 2 eggs w/ WW toast
L: PBJ on WW
D: Grilled Chicken, veggies and brown rice...I'm going out later...there may be some beer involved. I'll try to stay good and drink wine though.
Hey Ladies!!! Im new here. Im trying to get back in shape and have some support while I do it. A friend of mine is on the Sonoma Diet and it really seems to be working for her. It also seems like it would be a esay diet for me to follow.
B:hand full of almonds
L:PPB on light wheat bread w/ sunchips
D:Im going to be bad tonight since my husband and I are going out to dinner w/ a friend. Im going to try to only drink 2 beers
Welcome KTPAYNE!
I enjoyed yesterday's biscuit,weigh once a week, be patient with yourself discussion--good advice.
todays:
b banana and skim milk
l tuna sandwich
d omlette and salad
Heheh, most of them I make up as I'm going along Ping! I wanted to make a vegetable dish and my boyfriend had randomly bought me a pineapple when he was shopping so in went half of it! I don't eat meat so I have to keep it interesting!
But if you wanted to give it a try I literally cooked in a tiny bit of olive oil - Chopped up - 1 red pepper, 1 onion, bowl of mushrooms, about 3 tomatoes and half a pineapple. Cooked for a few mins then added a couple tablespoons of ready made black bean sauce.
It was really good! I ate it on its own but would be lovely with rice too I bet

Well, last night I ate. A LOT. Pepperoni rolls, this huge thing called a bierock that was like a hamburger wrapped in dough and baked, french fries (gasp!!) two bites of cheesecake, and then a so.-co., coke and lime and a guinness, just for good measure. The thing is, I thought I would feel awful this morning and I didn't. I thought my body would look bloated and it didn't. I'm not allowing myself on the scale so I don't know if anything is reflected there, and maybe since I don't have a number to focus on I'm not upset. I almost feel like I needed to do it. I mean, I'm going to eat well today and exercise and all that, but I just feel way better than I thought I would.
Today:
B: No breakfast...I'm not hungry
L: Some sort of sandwich on WW or a WW wrap
D: out with my dad and baby bro, but definitely a good choice wherever we go, I'm in the mood for veggies.
Exercise: walk the dog, New York City Ballet Workout
Just quickly checking in, been really busy today running all over the place and im about to start getting ready to go for dinner at a friends house. His wife is from Thailand so Thai will be on the menu, that's all I know! Oh and red wine.
B: Cheese and tomato toasted sandwich on ww
L: Veg crispy fillet on ww with tomato and mustard
D: Thai fish and vegetable curry with rice, 4 glasses red wine and 3 jack daniels and coke
1/2 hour wii, 1/2 hour dog walk, 2 hours shopping (what? it's still cardio!)
Hope you're enjoying the weekend!

Reason: Added dinner
oo-la-la ! I will try the pineapple concoction!!
I think I am going to try the not weighing myself for a week advice and see if some of my hunger is just anxiety about dieting and focusing all my thoughts on what the scales say and see if I can just eat when I'm hungry and not beyond. Weird food day, I've only eaten some slaw but tonite I am attending a charity fuction that always serves HUNDREDS of cookies so perhaps I am preparing.... I am still exercising, today I decided instead of walking I would RUN around inside the house while listening to Bette Midler---a very strange sight...
Yay! 2lbs!...the exercise is paying off!! Haha, Bette Midler jogging made me chuckle as well...hey, you know, whatever works. I love beer, and Guinness is one of my favorites. That was definitely the best part of the evening Sorry I didn't check this until late today...I'm really happy for you with your loss!
Today:
B: 2 hardboiled eggs w/ WW toast
L: small turkey, bacon, guac on WW from Quiznos
D: probably a taco salad, don't know yet though
Exercise: No exercise, a day off! Running tomorrow though...
hi all, i'm posting here because i'm going to be embarking on the mediterranean diet adventure, in fact i've kinda already started. i need some place to keep myself accountable and i've been reading all these posts and i'm really excited!
here's what i've eaten today:
breakfast: coffee and kashi bar, low fat yogurt
lunch: salad w/ onion, celery, spinach and grilled whitefish, also diet coke (i'm a pop addict, so sad)
snack: one, and i mean ONE hershey kiss, lol.
dinner: going out with the bf, but luckily the place we're going has tons of options and many healthy ones including a grilled vega pita with feta on it. wahoo!
i'm trying to lose 30 pounds and i hate diets with a vehement passion so i hope this new way of eating really works, thanks in advance for letting me post here and share my food activity.
