Well I did not eat well but I ate low cal, so hopefully I didn't do too much damage
I don't know what came over me when I saw the chocolate bars donated to my work I just grabbed one without thinking. Other than that protein shake, grapes, lentil salad, gatorade g2, diet coke. To be honest I gave this crap up (i.e. artificial sweetener) but suddenly the lack of calories has become more important than healthy eating. Not liking the way that goes. I want to be healthy not fill myself with low cal garbage.
B - steamed cauliflower w/con queso
L - low sodium/nitrate free deli chicken breast w/lite jarlsberg, just mayo, and sanwich thin
S - mixed nuts
D - taco seasoned ground turkey w/rice and beans. YUM!
Had a great day yesterday. Treadmill workout- hubby showed me how to use the preset programs finally and between that and errands did 16k steps.
B- belvita biscuits, V8
L- BBQ chicken flatbread and chips from Panera
D- Petite sirloin, sauteed mushrooms and onions, risotto, asparagus, french bread with roasted garlic and camembert cheese, beer.
Was still on target with calories according to Fitbit! Weight still at 191 this morning. C'mon, 180's! I can taste it!
Today- egg scramble with mushrooms and onions and salsa, coffee, OJ. Planning for a Celtic dinner after my interview tonight at a local pub, should be awesome! Might have a snack before the interview- probably string cheese and V8. (Late breakfast/lunch today.)
I am back...a little history...I joined 3FC in the fall of 2010, did fabulous on here (seriously, this site is SO awesome and valuable. I love it!). By summer I had lost 40 pounds and felt and looked fantastic! A few months later, I got pregnant, gained my fair share of mommy fluff...had a baby in the summer of 2012...started to lose the almost 45 pounds I had gained, and boom - guess what? Pregnant again, gained lots of baby fluff. My highest weight ever of 210 the day I had my son. FFWD to today...I've kind of--scratch that, I have slacked off since my son was born LAST October. I have lost almost 30 pounds since delivery day, but I definitely feel I could have been at or very close to goal if I had been serious about losing, which I'm not sure why I wasn't. Excuses I guess??? But, that is OVER. I have lost a few pounds this month, but more importantly, I have started a routine. Eating healthy and incorporating exercise regularly. I hope my progress will be even better for January and moving forward.
I was reading thru many of your posts - it sounds like you are doing great staying on plan, which let's face it, around the holidays is SOOOO difficult. So kudos to you all and I see a lot of active people which is fantastic! Here's to a great year of 2015!!!
Will be posting foods and exercise stats later. Until then, have a great day everyone!! And Hi Diana - it's been a while! I searched for your thread because I think it was SUPER helpful for me years ago.
Hello everyone! I went into the grocery store snack isle in May and am just now finding my way out of the store! Whew! But, seriously After my Mom's death and my beloved Chihuahua. I was never fully able to get back on tract. I did continue to lose but quit exercising and posting and started with the "Drug Foods" again and guess what happened? Just guess? Yup, gained back at least 18lbs. My daughter ended up moving in with me and to stay numb, I resumed my old ways. Its been a tough year.
Anyway, because this was the safest, and the best support I think I have ever had in my life. (hangs head in shame) I want/ need to come back and have that one safe uncluttered place to feel comfortable being accountable and being myself. Disappointments and all.
I did not realize how much I missed being on here to just get away from my own thinking and crap until now. Many days I wished I had a safe place to be and found none.
So I am back. If this group will have me.
Have a spectacular evening.
Donita

Welcome back Donita! I'm coming back today too! It happens to the best of us. I think the most important thing is not giving you. YOU CAME BACK, that's huge.

You can see how long I've been a 3FC member so you know I am all too familiar with the starts and stops. Lindsey, I did the same thing with my pregnancies and by the fourth kid gained the most and had the most difficulty getting the weight off. It took me a couple years post-partum to finally get back here I think.
Hi there!! I swear after kids it seems SO much harder. I mean, it was hard before, but I feel like I've got to REALLY fight for every ounce! lol
Thank you for the welcome back!
