Today so far! for breakfast i had a gas station hot dog WITH bun, and a diet pepsi. May sound bad but really a triumph for me because I usually drink reg pepsi. For lunch I am having a raw veggie plate with a little ranch. and have drank about 50 oz of water today. My goal is 128 a day and have been doing good with that!

I didn't do good today, depending on how you look at it. Now, I joined ww and follow their core program, but I have had alot of stress lately so I have been doing my own diet since last week. On a lighter note, I actually lost almost 3 lbs as of yesterday at weigh in. I have to get focused though.

Today:

1 cup of orange juice
1 bowl of oatmeal.

Snack:
Cheese stick

Lunch:
South Beach Diet pizza for one.

Dinner:
little over 1 cup of whole wheat pasta.
little less than 1/2 cup of pasta sauce.

1/2 cup of ff/sf pudding

I feel bad. I feel like my avatar. Like I ate too much. If I calculate the calories, it comes to under a 1000, but that seems too good to be true. Who knows.

I didn't exercise the last few days. Had no time. Too many things I am dealing with. At 7pm I am ready to go to bed. I have too much to deal with tomorrow too.

That's definitely around 1000 calories. The body runs on fuel, if it doesn't get enough fuel, it goes after the muscles. Starvation makes it difficult to keep weight off long term - the effects on metabolism are NOT conducive to long term success! You want to be at your goal weight for a day, or at your goal weight for a lifetime?

Add some more veggies and some more protein to your menu - it's not bad at all as a start!

I've eaten more calories than my goal ...it all started with the big chocolate-chip cookie but at least the rest was healthy even though I ate to much of it!

Breakfast: 1 oz cornflakes and 5 oz low fat yoghurt.
Snack: 1 carrot, 1 big chocolate-chip cookie
Lunch: 1.5 oz boiled shrimp, a few tablespoons of salad (wasn't hungry because of the cookie)
Snack (around 2.30 pm): 1 banana
Then around 4 pm I got hungry and since I was out I had to buy something fairly healthy: 1 multigrain roll
Dinner: eggplant, mushrooms, onion, lettuce, pork tenderloin (7 oz raw)
Post-dinner: pineapple
Snack, evening: pineapple and lots of grapes.

Total around 1600, which is the upper limit I shouldn't reach more a couple of times a month! I aim for around 1300/day but have had around 1500-1600 for 3 days now. Should exercise extra today but it's 9.30 pm and I'm tired...and lazy...and full!
