Sunday and Monday - Failures. Ugh. Do I never stop? I was going to call them S days as part of the holidays and absolute craziness suddenly came up with work yesterday, but those are really excuses. These were supposed to be N days and could have been. And I think admitting that is better than prete...

Friday -- S-DAY. With too many cookies and too much eggnog at the theater. Not all that much real food, though, what I did eat included 2 fruits and some whole grains. Saturday - S-DAY. A well-balanced and mild one. B - honey nut shredded wheat with milk L - boca chicken on bun with light mayo, kind...

thtrchic

Thursday - SUCCESS. This is the first Thursday success I've had in sometime so I'm very pleased with myself. It was also a sort of crazy day that involved me being at work at 5:45am. It was kind of a weird food day involving too many carbs, but nothing particularly unhealthy. B - 1.5 bagels with cre...

thtrchic

It's funny -- I ALSO feel like I need 3 things at lunch to be satisfied, but don't feel that way with other meals. Breakfast is usually 1 or 2 things and dinner is often 2, and sometimes 3. But for lunch I basically always include 3 things.

Julie

Wednesday - SUCCESS.

B - bagel with light cream cheese, orange
L - amy's pesto tortellini bowl
D- honey nut shredded wheat with milk

Also did 25 minutes on the treadmill with 10 of strength training.

Julie

thtrchic

Tuesday - SUCCESS!!! Largely due to the fact that I was too busy to think about cookies today, but still a success. I was at 2 points very hungry and tempted to snack, but instead had my meals (which I was late for and therefore very hungry). That was very good given the bad streak I've been on. B -...

thtrchic

Monday - FAILURE on food and exercise. I'm really getting frustrated with myself on all the sweets Im eating.

Julie

thtrchic

Sunday - SUCCESS.

B - (out with friends) banana pancakes
L - pint of blackberries, little bit of cheese and crackers
D - meatloaf with bbq sauce, macaroni and cheese, apple

About to get on the treadmill. I'll do 30-40 minutes there with 10 minutes of weights.

Saturday - S Day. And successfully kept away from chocolate since my commitment to that this afternoon. B - 2 chocolate truffles, weight watchers individual frozen chocolate cake, cheese and crackers L - Boca chicken sandwich on bun with mayo, tater tots with ketchup S - about 10 kona glazed macedam...

thtrchic

Yesterday was an S day. I ate a ridiculous amount of chocolate. It almost feels like a compulsion. I've been insane about it, particularly this week. It feels like a cycle where once I start I can't stop and just keep adding more and more day after day. So I'm cutting myself off for the week (until ...

thtrchic

Miraculously I actually lost a pound this week. I guess that must be largely from exercising every day. And luckily it's helping me want to be back on track to keep moving it forward rather than feeling like it gives me permission to eat too much bad stuff.

So, good. Onward and downward!
Julie

thtrchic

Another big fat failure. I'm so frustrated with myself. I need to STOP EATING COOKIES!!!!!! On the positive, I did 30 minutes with 10 of strength training this morning. And ate my good breakfast and half of my good lunch. And an ok dinner that was within rules. And no dessert. Sadly I also ate what ...

thtrchic

On the upside I just finished 40 minutes on the treadmill (the last 10 very slow) with 10 minutes of strength training. It felt good.

Julie

Wednesday - Ugh. Failure. Will I ever get this damn thing down?

Today I fought the fight with PMS and PMS won. Ugh.

It was quite a success to resist that, especially with the continuing barrage of cookies at the theater. An...

thtrchic

My advice, if you want it, is that you should eat. Not eating today because yesterday went badly is not a good idea. It's not healthy and it's not building good habits. Plus there's a pretty good chance you'll end up binging because you're starving after not eating all day. Remember how you felt yes...

Sunday - SUCCESS.

Friday - S-DAY. A kind of ridiculous one. I feel pretty lousy about that. I've had way too many cookies today. And a small piece of brownie. And a kitkat bar. Ugh.

Also, salad for lunch. And pizza for dinner.

Ugh.

Thursday- FAILURE. :( Stupid me. I was doing so well. And, of course, can again. But still it felt good with the steady successes for a few days so it's disappointing to have messed it up.

thtrchic

I know what you mean. Those days can be SO hard!

Filling up the plates more seems like the right idea. And maybe adding extra protein to your meals.

Wednesday was a failure. The not snacking while driving thing fell apart. And then I had dessert and snacks once in Michigan. Oh well. Thursday, Friday and Saturday - S Days. Good, indulgent (Saturday was VERY indulgent), not idiotic. Walked at the mall for a couple hours on Friday. Didn't do anythi...

thtrchic

I do my S days on Friday and Saturday. I found a few months ago that that works better for me because by Friday night I just can't resist treats. So I decided that as long as I'm consistent making that change for myself is fine.

Sunday - SUCCESS.

Saturday - S-Day. Slightly idiotic, I think. It included a friends birthday party with tons of very good homemade food and desserts. And a bunch of crap throughout the day. That was the idiotic part. Especially since I knew what was coming with the party. Oh, well. I'm looking somewhat forward to be...

thtrchic

Friday - S-Day. Indulgent, but not idiotic.

And walked about 15 minutes.

This is the first time in a long time that after a "successful" day I've been left hungry. I'm trying to drink water and try not to think about it.

B - grape nuts with milk

thtrchic

Yeah, somehow despite my love for candy I don't actually care about Halloween. If I was going to a party or something, I'd indulge on behalf of that, but since I'm not it seems slightly silly. That said, I did eat 2 cookies today, but it wasn't at all Halloween related. If you're into it at all or h...

Friday and Saturday were my usual weekly S days. Friday was a little insane, but I wouldn't say idiotic. Yesterday was definitely an S day, but not TOO extreme.

Things have gone better than last week, but not actual technical successes. Yesterday I had a few bites of cookie. That was the only sweet and snack.

Things largely fell apart and I ate sweets every day last week. But I'm back on the wagon trying again today. I had 2 packets of high fiber oatmeal and a little box of raisins for breakfast.

I'm still sort of here, but not really following the plan. Things have gotten kind of chaotic and my boyfriend of 4+ years and I are breaking up as he moves across the country.

I was SO hungry I just ended up having a cup of dry shredded wheat.

Yes, it goes away. I felt the same way before I started. I was sure it was impossible for me to go more than 3 hours without eating. Turns out that's not true and I feel much better for it.
