I know I went way over on my carb intake, but I did feel a lot more satisfied today. I even made it through Walmart past the yummy deli counter without giving in. That's a feat in itself!!
Exercise: Drama practice at church was very vigorous tonight. Therefore, I am counting it as my workout for the day, lol! The elliptical is going to have to wait 1 more day...
Penguin That's a cute cut. Please share a picture when you can.
Raven I'm glad to hear that Day 4 was easier for you. I didn't know that Lean Cuisine had Mushroom Risotto. I'll will have to look for that. I love Risotto.

Raven, the cravings are definitely in my head, so much that I can taste what I want, especially if I smell it. Good for you on going past the deli counter.
Dream glad you liked the yoga class. I've always wanted to try it but never looked into it. I'm gonna get back to 30DS on Monday, hopefully I'll make it through. I didn't even attempt it last week, just being lazy I guess.
Sara, glad you had fun and good for you for jumping right back into your routine

Good Morning, Everyone! I have something to share. I woke up this morning and I weigh 199! I am absolutely thrilled. This is probably the first time in at least 21 years that I am below 200.

Fantastic, congrats I hope you are going to go out and celebrate? Maybe something nice to wear at the mall
Congratulations, Diana!!! I know that must be so exciting! I can't wait to get there, too.
Speaking of that, I finally bought a scale yesterday. The starting weight that I had been using was from a doctor's visit a month ago. I know I had gained weight after seeing the doctor, but it was the closest weight I had. This morning I got my true weight.
(Drumroll) It was almost 10 lbs less than I had thought it was going to be!!! My weight at my doctor's office was 215, then I thought I had gotten up to 220. This morning I saw 211. So, I have lost at least 4lbs for sure Woo hooo!!!!
I can't weight to get my ticker to prove it to myself!
Hi everyone & thanks for making me feel so welcome here!! Congrats on Diana & Raven - u guys, I can't wait to feel a bit of success after a 'milestone'!
Yesterday was a typical slip-up Saturday for me.. I didn't manage my time properly which means... I couldn't manage my meals properly. I kind of have major issues with time management which really work against me when struggling to organize my meals. I found myself running late (after an hour curling my hair haha) and only had time to grab something quick for dinner - which happened to be my leftover oatmeal from breakfast. Since I was going out... my dinner was effectively a couple of drinks. When I got home I was obviously starving, so had a mug of homemade leek soup.
As much as I know I shouldn't eat after coming home from a night out - at least I restrained myself from ordering takeout. Small victories... so yesterday:
B- 2/3 cup oatmeal w/ brown sugar: 200, + coffee + crm 45 (was actually measuring cals in 2/3 cup DRY oatmeal earlier - d'oh)
L- **4 flax breaded chicken strips: 346
D- 1 cup oatmeal plain - 150
1 glass blonde beer - 140
1 vodka club - 97
S- 1 cup leek soup- 187
1165 total, so still a bit under, but overall still not happy with the irregularity of meals.
Question: how do you guys calculate calories in homemade recipes? This really screws my counting up!
Diana. I'm so excited for you. You are doing a great job. Which plan are you following?
Happy Sunday to everyone else I hope you all are having a great day.
So far my day is going good. I did a 3.25 mile walk early this am and eating has been clean. I had too much wine last night so today I have to be very careful as I want to have a good loss this week.
Journal:

Can't wait to see your new cut.
