I haven't forsaken you, Gracious Queens! I'll be back tonight with my regular report. The last 3 days have been weird...or maybe it's just me!
|
I feel like I've done OK today eating-wise.
Breakfast: cubed, fried potatoes topped with s. cream, cheese, scallions and tomatoes, washed down with one of those super-thick, all juice/puree bottled drinks. Num. Lunch: avocado, tomato, cucumber, sprouts sandwich "with everything" on dark rye. Not great, both meals fatty, carb-y and probably high-cal, but simple, wholesome food and I'm flyin' high on my veggie servings. AND, I didn't get chips with the sandwich. AND, I'm doing great water-wise. I feel good about it. Arabella, can I puh-LEEZE have your consent to shamelessly plagiarize your "wellness checklist" and even use it on this thread? Please? It's so bloody good... |

Lookin' good, Cerise and Anagramatic!!! :cheer:
I'm doing exercise report now: 50 min walk/run outside and TO DO TONIGHT: 20 min Wai Lana yoga tape. Too busy to go to gym!!! Baking apricot-curry chicken for lunch w/brown rice and broc on side!!! Sis boom ... etc.! :s: |
Ok, I had a choice about an hour ago when starting to climb walls from stress: Go out for candy or stick with BFL but add extra calories to try to beat the craving! Happily, I chose the latter and find that my reduction of sugar and balanced eating (more or less) has paid off and an apple and TWO carb control shakes satisfied me. Calories high but I don't care. Posting the daily damage early. If I get anymore cravings, I'll try the apple and shake thing again. Still need to do the yoga but am determined as I find Wai Lana tapes so peaceful, not to mention my body needs the yoga!!!

Wise choices, In Control Empress. My own calories/carbs were higher yesterday as well. Sort of planned out and ergo not a total loss of control. I hope.
Starting out w/slimfast today. And planning to up my water consumption. I've had enough fluid w/tea and Tab but seem to be retaining more that way. So that's today's goal. More H 2 O. |
Well, Anagramatic, I did succumb to the pb cup :devil: today (only two!), but like thou, I'm not totally out of control!!! I'm doing more water also as I need to work a meeting tonight and need to be clear headed!!!!
Reporting exercise early and will post menu later or tomorrow. Did 10 :tread: plus 35 min. weights (light total body) at gym and 30 min. yoga at home ... (LOVE these tapes and ordered more!). :cheers: |

Well, a funny thing happened re posting my menu, I cleared out the spreadsheet I use to log and report my menus and forgot to post yesterday's food ... I'm not archiving the menus at the moment. Anyway, I did have the two pb cups but everything else was on track for BFL and there were two vege servings and two fruit ... still need more but that was good (for me). I had a crabcake (lowfat) and bought more Myoplex Lite bars because I realized the pb cups happened because I didn't have any of the bars ... these bars are a good quality product but they do have fructose in them, which I'd rather not eat, but apparently it's those or pb cups and bars fit BFL, so ...
Calories were 1580, exercise reported above. I'll post today's menu as usual!!! Gotta work!!! Eydie and Anagramatic: You're lookin' good there!!!! :cheer: |
Me again, sorry, overposting ... I just posted this on the BFL thread:
"Guys, due to technical difficulties (e.g, an uncontrollable lust for dulce de leche), I'm having yet another off program day and am going to try to do well tomorrow and Saturday, but am really cancelling my official EFL start day until Sunday. I do my weight management in three-week "initiatives" and am starting a new one on Easter." I'll share with thou :queen: s that the dulce de leche came about after I had a mini argument with a woman in Walmart. She called me "dear" ... ugh! Anyone in that situation would obviously have done exactly as I did ... go on a dulce de leche binge. I'm keeping track of calories and will post my report tonight. It won't be pretty 'cause I'm NOT done eating! |
