OKAY GIRLS!!!

Let's do this thing! Let's just take it one day at a time and see how it goes. You must COMMIT to coming on here daily and logging EVERY SINGLE BITE you put in your mouth, as well as the Water you are drinking (water....what's that??), as well as the activity you had for the day. I'll start....this is going to be reallllllly hard for me:think , but here goes.....HONESTY, remember HONESTY.....aka accountability amongst friends;)

BREAKFAST: 1 egg, 2 pieces Canadian Bacon

LUNCH: 1/4 cup mashed potatoes, 1/4 cup fajita vegetables, 1/4 cup flank steak

(came home and crashed)

SNACK: vanilla ice cream cone from McDonalds

about 15 pringles when I got home and raided the cabinets

about 1/4 cup whole cashews

DINNER:

1/2 cup chili topped with melted cheese and dollup of sour cream

lots of tortilla chips! (I would estimate 2 "normal" servings, maybe 20 chips)

WATER: NONE.....MAYBE 2, 8 oz servings of tea

EXERCISE: Probably on my feet for a total of 2 hours out of the 10.

There...I did it, and now I feel incredibly motivated to be better tomorrow so I don't feel like such a big toe.

THINGS I DID WELL: I actually ate Breakfast which I usually dont.....did okay for 50% of the day.

WAYS TO IMPROVE TOMORROW: Don't crash at the end of the day!! No snacking....drink more fluids throughout the day....exercise.

today so far:

24 oz Water

asian beef with cheese

no-sugar chocolate bar

So far today, Sunday:

Breakfast: nothing...i'm sick today (physically, not stomach) so I haven't been in an eating mood. I drank two bottles of Water (crystal light).

Lunch: 1 cup ziti

Gonna post early for me because we will be gone tonight....

Breakfast: Coffee/creamer

Lunch: 5-6 bites Chipotle Burrito Bowl with Barbacoa...(PB'd, so I'm not gonna count it )

PM Snack: Starbucks Carmel Frappuccino (medium)

PM Snack #2: 3 crackers with 2 bites hummus, 1 bite crab dip

Dinner: We're picnic'ing it for an outdoor labor day concert at Shawnee Mission Theater in the Park....probably taking some pepperoni chips with hummus or buffalo chicken dip and assorted veggies to dip with.

Water: None yet...but I'll work on it;)

Exercise: Minimal...but I'll work on it;) I'm planning on chasing my 3 year old in the park for most of the night while the symphony plays.:omg:

Would you tell me which buffalo chicken dip you are using? I've recently found Wendy's wild buffalo ranch dipping sauce. I thought I was doing fine with it until I looked up the nutrition info on their website....Yikes...it has 19 fat grams. So, I'm looking for a tasty replacement. Thanks!

* I got back from Lincoln this evening so hopefully I'll be back on track this week. Haven't been on the scale for 2 days now. Not sure I want to see what it has to say about my last two days.

Hey!!!It's a Holiday! one chocolate almond organic candy bar. string cheese, turkey, 2 cups veggies. Bing cherries. (lot's) Sale at the HH.

NOLAGIRL posted recipe for dip on page 5 of this thread. I'm going to try it. Hope u do too and let us know if u like it. Katt

Okay Girls-

Yes, It's a Holiday, but accountability still holds true...where is everyone?:welldoneclap: Actually, I kind of forgot it was a holiday, and planned to start new this week today (mostly since it was Monday). I am gonna try what Cate suggested and eat whatever non-carbs and as much as I want while I am detoxing from them, so-to-speak. Funny thing is, I went with that idea today, but I didn't really WANT more (the thought of eating more protein/non-carb stuff kinda makes me nauseous actually). Even though I'm just in day one of detox....using that method has helped a lot and actually has been a pretty good day. Here goes:

Breakfast: 1/2 cup Cottage cheese, 3 mini (literally bite sized) crustless ham/cheese/veggie quiches.

Lunch: 1/2 cup Cate's Buffalo Chicken Dip with 1.5 servings of turkey pepperoni chips.

Dinner: 1/2 cup of a stir-fry concoction made of ground beef, mushrooms, peppers, and onions with a little soy sauce mixed in. (Yummy, but admittedly I PB'd....ate too fast I think).

Water: 64 oz

Exercise: Walked 1.5 miles on the track this morning (about 30 mins)

That puts my totals for today at 822 calories and 55 gms of protein. I probably should have some sort of snack since I'm not quite where I should be for the day, but I'm not really hungry and hate to blow things like I typically do in the evening time:D

Also, I have to admit, I had a bad craving for carbs about 3 this afternoon, but I chose to deal with it by going upstairs and taking a nap...when I woke up it was dinner time;)

1 slim fast breakfast bar

1.5 cups ziti with zuchinni

too much water to count.

I'm still in a lot of pain and not in much of a mood to eat. I will post more tomorrow...keep up the good work chicas.

Let's see if I can remember.

Saturday:

1/2 over hard egg

2 strips really crunchy bacon

2 bites hashbrowns

1 protein drink w/ peanut butter & skim milk

1 chicken strip, 2 tatertots, 1 onion ring

Sunday:

1 m&m (got stuck, no PB).

1 bite of a Chiotle chicken bol (got stuck, no PB)

Pretty much gave up on eating for the day after that, so:

2 protein drinks, one with half sugar OJ, the other with just milk.

Monday:

Sunday's Chipotle bol

About 30 pepperoni chips w/ lowfat garden herb & veggie cream cheese as dip

1 "habanero & jack" sausage, peeled

4 baked french fries

1 protein drink w/ 2% milk

Today: coffee/skim milk, chicken, zuchinni.....zuchinni blossom soup.....cottage cheese, chicken

Monday:

1/2 Protein Bar

1-1/2 Wendy's Chicken Strip

1/2 Wendy's 99-cent Chocolate Frosty with Peanut Butter mixed in.

Water: approx 32 oz

Exercise - None

Good job Wheets! Looks like your trying to eat a little bit more:biggrin1: ...You gotta be kidding me....you got stuck on an M&M???????? WOW!!! Now that's some impressive restriction;)

I am making a very focused effort to eat more, which means eating when I'm not hungry... but I think in this case it's allowable. I ate about 20 pepperoni chips around 9:45 this morning. DH and I are eating out around 3:45, so I won't eat until then, but I will try to get at least a Protein Drink in this evening.

Major stickage on an M&M. I had already done my little PB ritual, because I *knew* I was going to have to PB it up... then *burp* *hic hic hic* *gurgle* all gone. My thoughts on that - it was a peanut M&M. I chewed it well, but I've also had problems lately with chunky Peanut Butter (which was my last PB). Creamy is OK. I can tell you that peanut butter PBs have a distinct, unique charm!! So peanuts may be a no-no food for me. I haven't tried just a plain peanut, not lately anyway... last I had them, peanut butter wasn't causing any problems either, but lately unless it's blended up I can't do it without major stickage.

I musta missed an earlier thread, are we doing dinner again?
