Hi Everyone! Have A Great Monday!

Hi All :wave:

Busy day today so no time for personals! I hope you all had lovely weekends!

Here is my plan for the day 8/16/20103

B - 2 slices WW multi-grain bread w/ natural peanut butter + Homemade smoothie w/ banana, strawberries, blueberries and soy milk

S - Carrot and cucumber sticks w/ hummus

L - Vegan Spaghetti Bolognese (Mushrooms and Chiclpeas make the "meat" then I added a ton of eggplant, zuchinni and tomatoes + onuon, garlic, spices etc. Made whole wheat fettucinie noodles to go with it)

S - Handful of organic tortilla chips w/ organic salsa

D - Miso Glazed Salmon w/ rice and green beans

Drinking: At least 2 cup green tea + 2L water throughout the day + 1 diet pepsi

Exercise: 30min brisk walk with the dog

Have a happy, healthy and OP day :)

Good morning friends! Happy Monday! I tried to post Saturday but had some issue with my server and computer was taking forever to load pages, but I was eager to post and stay on track with daily reporting.

SATURDAY

breakfast - homemade pancake with homemade unsweetened applesauce (from our apple trees), one serving of natural pork sausage, coffee with splash of milk

lunch - arugula salad with a drizzle of lite caesar dressing, tuna salad sandwich with carrot, celery, onion, tomato, pepper (all from the garden). Iced unsweetened herbal tea to drink. One serving of homemade peach and blueberry cobbler - a recipe I found when googling "healthy peach recipe" with just a few tablespoons of oil, skim milk, whole wheat flour, not much sugar. It's peach season and trying to find a way to make treats without going all out.

snack - a few nibbles of peach/blueberry cobbler...yes, it was a healthy recipe but this is probably pushing it

dinner - raw carrot sticks, unsweetened herbal iced tea, and this homemade potato patty type thing - potato, sweet potato greens, onions, peppers, other garden veggies, all held together with a bit of egg and flour. Homemade peach sorbet (basically, peach with a bit of sugar - boiled, blended, frozen and chopped up) topped with some cacao nibs. This is an awesome alternative to ice cream - sorbet has no fat, and little sugar, but is creamy and cold and satisfying.

Exercise - 1 hour Nia DVD in my living room

SUNDAY

breakfast - homemade pancake made from a mix at the natural foods store that is just oat flour, barley flour, baking soda, baking powder. Topped with half a fresh peach. Two scrambled eggs.

lunch - whole wheat spaghetti with homemade basil pesto, handful of almonds for protein. (You can tell from my meals what is in season - peaches, basil, veggies, etc!)

snack - handful of chex mix (argh, the evil, dreaded chex mix...)

dinner - 1 tortilla, 1/2 can of fat free organic vegetarian refried beans, cheese. 1 serving lite ice cream with almonds.

Exercise: 90 minute dance class

Not bad - Sunday was definitely low on veggies, but am jazzed that I kept my weekend breakfast under control and had a smaller portion of pancake. At no point did I feel 'full' just satisfied, like I had enough. Scale has been hovering around 205 which is discouraging, but I tend to fluctuate a lot so I tell myself it won't take much to get back to onederland. I have been daily weighing, which I had gotten away from, which is an important way to keep me on track. Off to a good start today food-wise and headed to the gym in an hour for Nia and yoga classes! Let's make it a great one, everybody!

Keep Lookin - congrats on getting below 300! Sounds like you had a great day!

Lauren - your vegan bolognese sounds tasty.

Love2b - Yes, it feels great to get rid of old clothes that don't fit any more, especially if you know you are giving them to someone who can use them.

Hubby went to practice welding at my parent's house, while I stayed home to clean out the fridge, and finish some other fun chores.

I am so disappointed in myself. Things have seriously been out of wack over the weekend. I don't have internet at home so I couldn't post but I probably would've been too ashamed to post anyway. I had to come in today Thank God for accountability. Being broke, so broke that we don't have groceries in the house caused me to go into a tailspin. Today the kids started school and hubby and I were so broke we couldn't even buy school supplies. I was a little depressed about that and so the moment that we could borrow some money to get something to eat for the house we bought the cheapest food we could which as you know is nowhere near healthy on top of that we were stress eating so I had a bunch of junk that I had no business eating honestly. Ate over other peoples houses and their meals weren't as healthy as mines either. I felt like crap Friday night and couldn't sleep all night because I couldn't get comfortable enough to sleep(I sleep on my stomach). It was horrible. I just got paid and already I have no money because of bills out the butt. I can't even go grocery shopping and my fridge is nearly bare as we speak. It's really embarrassing honestly and thank God for grateful kids they haven't complained once but I know they are sad about it as well. Hubby hurt himself recently and is unable to work like he used to so no OT and a bunch of doctors visits for a month means we're living off my salary. not good we really have too many expenses and need to cut down but EVERy bill is a necessity and the only ONE bill we could cut he won't allow it because it is his ONLY outlet. I don't know what I'm gonna do. It's lunch and I haven't eaten yet don't have money to splurge on anything but I'll try to go the grocery store and get something inexpensive yet healthy. This is really depressing. But today is a new day and at least I'm posting right?

MrsD - :hug: I am sorry to hear you are going through such a a tough time. It will get better and yes, today is a new day. Keep your chin up. ANd remember we are all here to offer support if you need it, whenever you need it :hug:

Thanks Lauren. Well the good news is that I was able to go to whole foods and get some fruit veggies and lunch. Man they are expensive but I hope it pays off in weightloss. :) Feeling a little bit better I have hope.

MrsDawsondn I'm glad things worked out and you are feeling better. :hug: Have you ever bought your organic veggies from your regular grocery store? I have found my regular grocery store to be pretty reasonable in that department. Although, I was needing some spinach for my omelets recently. We were by Whole Foods, so I just ran in there. Their brand of organic spinach was alot cheaper than I normally pay. I bought a couple bags of it. :D Gotta save money where I can. ;)

ETA: I also wanted to say that I am so sorry you and your family are having a rough time. I hope things turn around for you soon. :hug:

Today was my first week on WW. I went from 212.6 to 205.8! :carrot: :D

( oh yeah, and I got my period :dizzy: )

kcx - Welcome to the thread :welcome: and well done on that loss! :cp:
