Thursday, Day 1, SUCCESS! It wasn't the easiest, but I did it. Actually, it got easier as the day went on. B - piece of buttered rye toast, serving of irish oatmeal with a little butter and sugar L - 7 pieces spicy tuna maki roll, 4 pieces inari, pear D - large bowl of raisin bran crunch with milk a...

Well, my already rocky month completely fell apart with the trip to Florida. I'm not too pleased with myself and feeling bloated and fat. My initial response is "this just isn't working," but I think I know its more like "I'm not working this right." I have to exercise some control and stick with th...

Thursday, the planned NWS day. Dinner was wonderful. Glad I didn't have to pay for it. :) All courses are fairly small. And quite perfect. And combined made quite the amazing and satisfying meal. I did my workout yesterday before work. I really don't feel like it today, but think I'll probably do it...

Wednesday, SUCCESS. But it involved eating Burger King for dinner so feels less like one. But it was most definitely only one plate and no sweets were involved so it fits the bill. I guess that's the brilliance -- even when things come up where Burger King is the choice habit can stay intact. B - ce...

Tuesday, SUCCESS! B - mini wheats with milk L - small portion of mac and cheese, mix of almonds and raisins D - 2 largish pieces buttered rye toast, homemade strawberry banana smoothie I came home and worked out right away again!!

Monday, SUCCESS! I can't believe I really did this, but I managed to exercise before work knowing I couldn't after. I always think I'll do that, but never actually do. I'm quite proud of myself for following through. B - raisin bran with milk L - peanut noodles with carrots, small handful of almonds...

Friday, CRASH AND BURN. So, I suddenly had to go to a tasting for our upcoming gala at 11 this morning. I wasn't planning on going, but then my development director was sick and another committee member cancelled so I truly had to for my job. This included eating small plates of 3 entree choices plu...

Thursday, SUCCESS! I exercised when I got home from work tonight AGAIN! I'm so proud of myself keeping up this pattern. Tomorrow is yoga and pushups/crunches. I don't know if that's harder or easier, but I think the variety will be good for me. B - raisin bran with milk and 1/2 banana L - (out) tuna...

Wednesday, SUCCESS! The weirdest thing happened: on my way home from work I was tired and so hungry and kind of crampy and gave myself permission to just do my pushups and crunches, but skip the cardio part of my exercise, but when I got home I suddenly wanted to do it so I changed and got to it -- ...

Thanks, Kevin!

Tuesday, SUCCESS! Another stressful day at work, but I had two major accomplishments: first, I was able to remind myself that eating "unacceptable" foods wouldn't help anything and keep myself from doing that and then, second, I was able to remind myself how much better I felt after exercising each ...

Monday, SUCCESS. I've had a very hungry afternoon and even had a cup of coffee with a little milk to help. I'm persevering, though. B - raisin bran with milk L - homemade mac and cheese (about an ounce of whole wheat pasta, about 1/4 cup cheddar cheese, a little yogurt, parmesan, and panko all baked...

Sunday, S-DAY. Bleh, I've eaten too much. All in the last couple hours. And am now cutting myself off for the night, which is harder than I'd like it to be.

Saturday, S-DAY. Solid. B - cereal with milk and banana L - (out with friends) dim sum -- I stopped JUST before being full. I'm quite proud of this, especially since it was dim sum and yummy. S - chocolate milk D - multigrain crackers with a little goat cheese, strawberries Walked a bunch around the...

So, I haven't done very well on food since Tuesday. Although, it hasn't been disaster mode either, which is great. And I'm doing well on exercise and I'm proud of that. Wednesday I had a brownie mid-afternoon. That was totally a reaction to stress and stupid. I can't quite remember the details of fo...

Well, technically I lost 3 pounds in January, but really it was just over 1 because 1/1 was artificially high from the eating craze of New Years Eve. Just over 1 isn't much weight, given the three failures not bad. If I could cut out the failures I'm sure I could be doing 2-3 month, which I'd be ent...

Ok, make that a FAILURE. I'm pretty annoyed with myself. It was dumb and weak of me, but I had a big chocolate chip cookie. I did enjoy it at least, but its pretty ridiculous that I can so rarely go 5 days without going outside the already kind of easy parameters of this plan. But nothing more I can...

Friday, SUCCESS! It's been a very stressful day at work, but I did a good job of reminding myself that giving into sweets isn't going to solve any of that. I do still have several more hours at the theatre to get through, but afternoon is really my danger time so Im confident I can do it. I also wen...

Ok, so I'm now concluding that something must be wrong with my scale. I got on today and it says I'm ANOTHER 2.5 pounds higher than yesterday. My body doesn't do swings like that. I know a lot of people do, but I don't. That 2.5 pounds higher also takes me higher than I've been in many, many, many m...

Thursday, SUCCESS! A little harder today, but I didn't give in so good for me! B - cereal with milk and 1/2 banana L - red lentil soup, hummus, fluffy piece of bread D - (out, with a friend before another show) very small cup of miso soup, small basic salad with miso dressing, 3 pieces sashimi, smal...

Today is one of those days where my practice of weighing daily is bad. Generally, when I'm "on plan" my weight is steady or slightly down each day and then somewhat up over the weekend. Today its up more than a pound since yesterday. A good deal of that must be related to salt since even with fries ...

Dinner ended up being a tuna melt with fries and a pickle. Not the healthiest in the world, but completely in one plate sans sweets so I'm good.

And did 9000 steps for the day. Yay!

B - steel cut oats with bit of butter and sugar, cran-apple juice L - leftover chicken and rice, almonds, banana D - TBD: one plate of something, out with a friend at a yet to be determined restaurant before seeing a show At about 6200 steps right now so am thinking i...

Yesterday, Tuesday, I failed. :( Good news: After the 5 little danish butter cookies I ate, I didn't have anything else. I didn't allow the "Oh well, I've failed and might as well eat til I'm sick" mentality to take over. I actually didn't even really want to do that and was easily able to just stop...

Saturday, S-DAY. Indulgent, but controlled. Accomplishment of the day: I was hungry about 5:30, but going to a dinner party at 6:30. It's Saturday so I can have a snack. But I didn't.

Thanks, guys. I really appreciate the support. I am feeling good about stopping with the one incident.

It wasn't so much that I felt I w...

Thanks, oolala! I find it really helpful to watch your great work too! Sadly, yesterday was a failure. I had 3 chips ahoy like cookies in the afternoon.

Hey, oolala. Weight loss is a primary goal, but I haven't lost much. A few pounds, which is definitely something, but I have a good deal to go.

Thursday, FAILURE. I deserve to feel just as lousy as I do. On the upside, I am (finally) cutting myself off even though I could totally eat something else.

Sunday, S-DAY. I tried to keep it especially in control after so many days of snacks and sweets.

Thanks for the validation, KCCC. It's helpful to have someone else remind me what's ok and what's not. It's easy to fool myself sometimes. Like today, actually.

Wednesday - SUCCESS! Thanks to the power of vicodin I can be more enthusiastic today. I decided mid-afternoon to call the doctor and let her know how much I was hurting and see what she could do. And what she could do was prescribe me stronger drugs. I've now taken one and am feeling much better. So...

Looks like I'm going to have to allow a small modification today based on my very sore mouth/jaw post-root canal -- I can eat whenever I can manage to do it. Eating at all hurts quite a bit so I can't take much at a time. But I also need to eat more than that little bit overall. So, still no sweets ...

I also just realize that this is Day 21 of my success. My commitment is to the month (with the 23rd and 31st being NWS days), but still 21 days is a known accomplishment around here and I'm glad to hit it.

I got my steps in!

But also just had some more ice cream. Based on a combination of feeling hungry and feeling the "I have to do it now while I still can" thing. Not an ideal finish to the day, but its Sunday and there was no perma-snacking thing so all is still well.

Monday, SUCCESS! Didn't eat anything at the work related holiday party I was at from 5:30-6:30.

I also knew if I ate then I wasn...

Ugh, I ended up also having some cheese and crackers last night. Wasn't the best idea, but luckily you can't fail on a Sunday. And I still wasn't in a state of feeling sick, which is likely where I would have gotten myself in the past.
