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.

I was reading the ivillage South Beach diet thread. Very interesting post from moderator: diabetics can skip phase 1. I didn't know that! Go to a light phase 2. This means my sweet potatoe chip two handful gobble is okay. As long as it's not repeated, of course. So tomorrow I will add one fruit and one whole grain bread. Yes! I went back to the book and could not find this info anywhere. Very Happy Camper!!!!

Worked today (very tired, what's new:rolleyes: )...Glad to be working though. Here goes...Did okay considering there was a humongous sheet cake and about 4 dozen Cookies staring me in the face as soon as I walked in the breakroom door this morning.....Didn't have even a morsel :hungry:

Breakfast: 3 bites of mini crustless quiche with ham/cheese

AM Snack: 2 crackers with 2 Tbsp crab salad

Lunch: 1/2 cup leftover beef/vegetable stir-fry, a few strips of red peppers dipped in about 1-2 tbsp hummus.

PM Snack: 2 crackers with 2 Tbsp crab salad

Dinner: 1/4 cup Salmon salad

Evening Snack: FF vanilla yogurt ice cream cone

Water: 48 ounces

Exercise: 3.5 miles at work walking

Puts me at a total of 783 calories for today with 51 grams Protein....probably need to eat some more before bed, but don't really feel like it tonight.
