Yesterday:915 cals
This morning : 144.8 all I want is to be below 145 these days. What is it about 144 that I just want to maintain? I refuse to get stuck here this time, and double refuse to gain again!
Today:1080 cals. I think I have figured something out. I binge when I don't get enough protein. I was eating the house until I had some meat and then I felt like I could stop.
I bet my weight will be up tomorrow. Seems I lose at 900, gain at 1000. My body doesn't know what maintaining is.
Groomed a dog and taught two lessons today. Tomorrow is a day off! Not that my work days are full time, but it's still nice. I plan to practice, maybe have coffee with a friend, and go upstairs to my brothers in the evening to play board games with him and his gf.
Syckgirlsfv--I hope your hubby got some medication and will be feeling better soon
Diana--I feel the same way socially. For the most part drinking makes it worse for me
All under the deep freeze--enough already! What did the groundhog say?
Ian--what you said to Nova was hilarious. And you look amazing! So does your spread! Party at Ian's!
Last night I added on: Twists section from Rodney Yee's AM Yoga for Your Week
This Morning: Oxycise Level 1
Angioedema starting to flare again. I noticed yesterday when I woke that my mouth/lips were swollen. This morning it was a little more. Crazy vicious cycle.
Calories for yesterday: 1400 +
Weigh In: 173.4
Up: .4
I'm stoked to have a day where I don't "owe" calories, lol, and just to be back on track! If it were ONE MEASLY DEGREE COLDER, WE WOULD NOT HAVE HAD SCHOOL. It needs to be -43 without windchill and it was -42...and the call to make it a half day is in 45 minutes AND IT'S -43 NOW! Come on, Jack Frost!
I totally love work and my students and classes are awesome but the kid in me loves a good ol' fashioned snow/cold day!
My weekend was good except I bought a loaf of bread...my calories were fine but I pretty much lived off that loaf all weekend! I want to make a bellini for dinner...ahaha I got a hold of some mango up here and I want a tropical smoothie. Protein bellini- that's a thing, right!?
Day one of the sandwich w/Laughing Cow cheese was a success. I don't remember which LC flavor I had before, but I didn't like it. I bought two different flavors yesterday, light Swiss and white cheddar. Today I tried the white cheddar and liked it. I was having problems in the past with overdoing the honey mustard. I kept wanting to use more and more. I would even take an empty bottle, divide a full bottle between the two and then add water to thin it out. The idea would be that I would get less calories and sugar but that didn't help much. I think the sugar was triggering this. The LC cheese provided just enough moisture and flavor but didn't seem to trigger anything, (yet ) Give it time, right? It's like my mind has a mind of it's own . I am always fighting to stay one step ahead of the scheming and planning that goes on in my head. I think the soup was a good reset, although the main reason for the change was that I couldn't find the foods I needed. So, I looked at the serving/calories in the lunch meat. The package says that the lunch meat is 3 servings. I actually get 4 servings from the package. I will keep the calories the same but say the lunch meat and lettuce is the full calorie count. This Friday is suppose to be much colder here. I might bring my thermos with some veggies and bone broth. Not the full soup I was making. I did enjoy how the soup kept me warm on cold days.
Hi everyone. I am on my phone so won't do personals. I had really depressing dreams and woke feling low. Practiced for a bit and am now on the streetcar going clear across town to meet a friend for coffee. I didn't want to leave the house and feel like crying. I made myself go out cuz I thought all day alone might be worse,
Yesterday:1700 cals
This morning:144.8 no change! Woohoo! I got away with a high day!
Today:started with protein and we'll see if that helps the binge monster.
I am trying something new with my diet. I am stopping my oats for breakfast to see if that has any impact. They do leave me feeling bloated so perhaps cutting them out will help. We will see.
Anyway, breakfast today was sardines and smoked oysters.
Lunch was salmon, smoked oysters, mussels and squid.
For exercise, I ran 4 miles before work and did 1 hour weight training before lunch.
W 163.? (Down)
B egg on toast, decaf with milk
L tbd
D tbd
Fluffy, I hope the friend time restores your mood.
Diana, I love your assessment of losing control and working to stay on top of it. I wish it wasn't the daily struggle that it is. Fingers crossed the LC cheese works for you. Luckily they do come in single serve, so you'll probably notice if you open a second cheese.
I dowloaded a new-to-me app called twogrand. It's a weightloss tool/community that documents their food with photos. It's kinda fun! It helps me think about what I'm choosing, knowing I have to snap a photo and it's great for meal ideas, browsing through other people's photos.
My username on there is the same if anyone wants to check it out. No friends for me yet...sadface.
Coolmom--I like the new pic! And my mood is so much better now. I really enjoyed seeing my friend.
On my way home now and managed not to eat while we were out. I did have a frothed milk type coffee with 2% but shouldn't be too bad calorie wise.
My dad has tests tomorrow in response to the low hemoglobin but the letter he got from the specialist said he would get the results in a month. I think this is crazy but I guess that's public health care for ya. He needs to know even if they don't find anything so he can keep looking for the problem. His Dr also didn't schedule him for any follow up blood work even though he said he might have died if the Dr had left his lab results another day. Wtf.

coolmom that app sounds cool, I'll check it out Novangel drinking is another story! I talk enough as it is without that stuff...LOL but I really have a good time when we're out with friends and sipping cocktails however, I do most of my drinking at home unless we are in Vegas. Better that way! fluffypuppyDianacoolmomflower thank you, he has to be on antibiotics for 10 days but they gave him some prescription ibuprofen for the pain. My poor man He's not wimpy about it though, like I get
Got school tonight, haven't exercised other than walking since we came home from Vegas, but that's because of work and school and the fact that DH can't ride while sick. He was really bad over the weekend before I took him to urgent care, so I didn't want to leave him by himself. I'll probably get in a bike ride tomorrow after work.
I got my classes for Spring already this morning - I think I'm insane because I enrolled in 3 this time. Taxation of Individuals (accounting), Marketing, and a bio class called Sex and Gender. The bio class is a diversity requirement which I find stupid but I need it to graduate.
Sorry to all you who are freezing!!! We are having 70 - 80 degree whether...all week. It's 73 today and will get as high as 86 by Friday
B - chicken cilantro wantons in chicken broth with spinach
L - southwestern salad (no meat)
S - maybe trek mix
D - garden burger w/habanero colby and maybe some sweet potato fries.

Diana, the single serving helps a lot. I divided my homemade soups into jars in the fridge and it helps me not go for more. The new avatar is my dog Luke. He just had a birthday and turned 15.
Total calories 918
L potstickers, apple and cheese
D chicken noodle soup
I hope tomorrow is another good one for you.
