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.

Haven't posted accountability in a while but I've been eating the same things. Lost my resolve to eat more, so for the last few days I've pretty much just eaten dinner and then a Protein drink later on. Although I'll eat lunch today because now I'm thinking about it.

I baked some really amazing Cookies Monday that probably have about 100gm fat and 1200 calories each (the first ingredient is 2 sticks of butter, the last ingredient is a layering of melted milk choclate and crushed pecans/cashews/toffee bits), not to mention carbs, but I've let myself have 1 small one each day. They're too good not to enjoy.

Still in stucksville, although the scale did show a little difference today of 0.6 lbs. That probably just means I'm dehydrated, and as soon as I take a drink it will bob right back up. I'm glad I started a log of my weighings, because when I feel like "this isn't working any more" I can look back and see the bigger picture of progress, but the flipside is that when you look back over the last 6 weeks and see the same pound coming and going... *sigh*

Yep, bobbed right back up to 279. Stuck I am.

Saturday - a little over 1/3 chipotle bol, 2 chicken strips, 1/4 empanada, 8 fries.

Sunday - half my entree at a Mex restaurant, so an order of refried Beans, and half of a small chicken breast with lettuce & queso on top. 1 cookie.

Today - 18 pepperoni chips, plain, for breakfast. Other half of the Mex entree for lunch - didn't finish it. 2 decaf iced teas w/ 1/4 packet Splenda. 1 16oz Crystal Light lemonade.

Does anyone know how many calories to a cup of that Buffalo chicken Dip?

p.s. sorry i've been AWOL, I miss you guys ALOT.

I'm tired of being AWOL too. Gonna try to be better:

Today:

Breakfast: Nothing

Lunch: Taco Bell side of Beans

Snack: 100 calorie pudding cup 3 bite size cubes of cheese

Dinner: 3 oz meatloaf, 1/4 cup mashed potatoes

Water: 40 oz

Accountability was lax during my trip. Day of flight (Tuesday) ate nothing until dinner... had a bowl of parmesan asparagus Soup, 1/2 a potato Napoleon, and some herbed foccacia with dipping oil at the hotel restaurant.

Wednesday Breakfast - few bites of yogurt (lowfat vanilla), 1 hotel-sized packet of Peanut Butter (at about 3/4). lunch - about 4 braized potato chunks, a few bites of chicken, two bites of mediterranean salad, 1 hors d'ouerve sized piece of mocha cheesecake. dinner - 2 scallops, 2 pieces of mini bruschetta, 1 pork wonton, 4 sashimi-sized strips of ahi tuna w/ soy & wasabi.

Thursday - breakfast was same as Wed but smaller b/c food didn't want to go down well. Lunch - few pieces of deli turkey, 3 or 4 homemade chips. Got stuck and had to walk it off. Dinner - "Garlic Encrusted Black Grouper with Thai Chili Sauce" - ate about 1/4, had a small bowl of clam chowder with it, ate about 1/2. Ate a half dinner roll equivalent size piece of sourdough with hand churned salted butter MMMmmmm. Treated ourselves to ice cream, so I had a "miniscoop" (about half of a regular sized scoop) of chocolate peanut butter, and a miniscoop of cookie dough, in a cup.

Friday breakfast - 2 bites of a cheese omlette, took a while to go down so I moved to apple juice. Lunch - General Tso chicken, got kinda stuck on the third bite so I gave up on it. Dinner - Protein Drink.

Saturday - made breakfast muffins crushed oyster cracker/bread crumb crust, egg/cream cheese/seasonings, topped with cheddar and baked. I ate a half of one. Lunch - 1/3 Chipotle bol. Dinner - Protein drink.

Sunday - no breakfast. Lunch - Mango chutney shrimp, got stuck on one and thought I was going to have to PB it up... hit the point of sliming... then it cleared on its own. So dinner was a protein drink w/ peanut butter mixed in, and a handful of Fiber 1 'cause I'm having some fiber issues.

Today - breakfast was a strawberry nutrigrain bar. Lunch was one of the small Healthy Choice meals, turkey, potatoes, veggies... ate 3 of the turkey pieces, about 1/2 the potatoes, threw the rest away. No idea what dinner will be. Something I don't have to cook. I'm tired! Maybe some pizza Hut wings. Yum.

No posts in a long time...

I for one ate like crap today. First time in a LONG time. Baked cheez-its, Ben & Jerry's, tried a small amt of rice for the first time since March and did OK with it... tomato sauce, and a few Hershey's with graham crackers in them. And of course my protein drink. This is what happens when I don't pay attention to my hunger. I get to the point that I'm *hungry* and it hurts, which happened to be at work where we just had crap laying around. *sigh*
