B - cereal with milk, orange

D - (eaten in two parts and in a slightly grazy way at a work party but carefully watched and tracked, it would have been very inappropriate to put a bunch on a plate) piece of baked tilapia, small amount of white rice cooked with a little butter, 6 crackers with cheese and salami, about 10 grapes, about 6 baby carrots with dip

Wednesday, Day 7 - SUCCESS.
B - cereal with milk
L - 2 packets of instant oatmeal, yogurt
D - baked potato soup, bread, applesauce
Didn't do any exercise yet as I'm feeling quite sick today. Im going to try and do at least a little bit slowly on the treadmill still tonight, though. I'm pretty sure I'll manage 15-20 minutes, which is at least something and helps me keep the habit up.
EDIT -- I did just do 25 minutes slowly on the treadmill with 5 minutes of upper body weights.

B - cereal with milk, 1/2 banana
L - small skim latte, 2 oz cheddar cheese, 15 melba crackers, orange
D - field greens salad with blue cheese, walnuts, apple, and raspberry vinaigrette dressing, roll
About to get on the treadmill. Planning on 30 minutes with 5-10 of upper body weights (depending upon how much my still recovering from illness muscles can take).
Yay for a successful week. I feel very proud of myself for staying so strong. Everyone at work is dieting and I'm the only one who actually stuck with it all week. Everyone else ate candy and complained at least one day of having eaten too much in general or too much of bad things this week.
EDIT -- ended up doing 45 minutes on the treadmill with 10 of upper body weights. It felt really good. I'm tired now, though.

Friday, Day 9: S- DAY.
B - oatmeal, banana
L - soup, crackers, small skim latte
S - part of a dark chocolate bar
D (if you can call it that) - 2 cookies
I might have something else since my dinner was pretty questionable and probably won't keep me full too long. Or maybe not. It's after 8 so I might not need it. Or maybe I'll have some juice as a sort of compromise.

L - half a frozen pizza
S - rocky road ice cream
D- quarter of a frozen pizza
S - 2 beers and a baileys on the rocks, 100 calorie pack of shortbread cookies, 3 squares of a caramello bar, some fries
Walked around target for about half an hour plus up and down the stairs a bunch doing laundry and taking out garbage.
The freedom of eating and doing whatever was good today. I think it did exactly what it was supposed to in terms of the "greater good" for me today. I felt it more than usual today.

Did 30 minutes on the treadmill again this morning, again with 10 minutes of upper body weights. My arms were pretty tired. This is the 4th consecutive day of this routine so maybe they need a break. But I plan to push on through tomorrow and then take my planned day off on Friday.

D - a bunch of thai appetizers (satay with peanut sauce, crab rangoon with sweet and sour, shumai with soy sauce)
Off exercise today. Which was good because Im tired and needed a rest day.

Saturday, Day 17: S-DAY.
Overall today I ate too many sweets (about 5 cookies, and a candy bar) and half an order of chicken pad thai. I'm planning on something else tonight still -- something not involving sugar. Like cheese and crackers -- something food like, but also easy and tasty.
I'm feeling rather gross from all the sugar yesterday and today. It's been a while since I've felt like this.

Monday, Day 19: FAILURE.
Ugh.
It was such a rough day for me for some reason. I just didn't want to exercise and wanted to eat bad food so bad. I don't know why. Given all that I didn't do TOO bad. But I didn't do it right.
B - cereal with banana and milk
L - leftover chicken pad thai, yogurt
S - 1/2 dark chocolate candy bar, 4 starburst
D - sushi: 2 maki rolls and a piece of tuna sashimi
Did 18 minutes on the treadmill with 7 of upper body weights. I just could not make myself do more than that. It was weird -- usually once I start Im fine. Even good, really. But today my body just wasn't going for it. I told myself I'd make up the time tonight, but I'm still at work and absolutely exhausted so I don't think that's gonna happen.
Oh well. Worse things and worse days have happened.

Julie,
From my point of view, it doesn't really sound that bad. OK, one snack, not a huge one at all. And you DID get some exercise. Some days I find I am totally dragging for no apparent reason -- I always think of them as "low energy days" -- but I figure maybe I just need a break. I'm hoping you're feeling back in the swing of things today.

Thanks, Lisa. Those words are very helpful. Unfortunately, I didn't manage to get back on the horse tomorrow. I'm pretty frustrated with myself right now. But Ive bought groceries and made a plan for food tomorrow that actually sounds good and is healthy and know that that's the key to me getting back on track.
B - 2 packets of instant oatmeal
S - snickers bar (what is my problem??), about 12 melba crackers
L - Wendy's spicy chicken sandwich and fries (why did i give in to this silly temptation)
D - I think I'm skipping it since I've eaten way too much today and really just want to sleep more than eat
I'm still just feeling wiped out so didn't do any exercise. I think I just need to sleep very early tonight to help me re-energize. Then I'll feel better tomorrow and will get back on track with morning exercise and a day of good food.

I haven't worked in exercise yet. I just got home from work and am completely exhausted. I haven't ruled it out yet, though, since I really did want to include it in my day. I'm hoping if I can rest for 20 minutes I'll feel a little better and can get on the treadmill.

S - 1/3 of a snickers bar (split with some people)
D - (at a work party) 1 beer, most of a glass of white wine, about a plate full of appetizers including shrimp cocktail , cheese fondue, beef tenderloin on a little piece of bread, etc
Food was very yummy today. I really enjoyed my S day and the accompanying socializing that went along with my eating.

B - cereal with milk, banana

I came home with a stomach ache. Probably because I ate 2 hot dogs and fries for lunch.
So I didn't and ate a weird, small dinner to try and soothe my stomach and make up for the silly lunch.
Hopefully tomorrow'll be a more successful success.

This last week turned into a food and exercise disaster. In that I didn't do any exercise and ate way too much crap. And now I feel just like that.
Back to it tomorrow with my usual Sunday N Day. I've planned my meals for the day with things that are healthy, should reasonably fill me, and will be interesting for me. It'll be a bit hard, though, I think I've fallen very much back into the snacking and sweet-eating routine. But I think I can remember how much better I'll feel to eat well and do some exercise. Actually, I'm looking forward to it.

Wednesday: FAILURE.
PMS, hunger, and the fact that it was snowing and sleeting out keeping me from going somewhere to get something healthier to eat took over my sense and I ate candy at work. 2 candy bars. Which is pretty ridiculous.
I did stop myself from just giving up and binging on whatever else tonight. And I did come home and workout.
B - cereal with milk, yogurt
L - lean pocket, 2 candy bars
D - ounce of cheese, wheat thins, small apple

Thursday and Fridays were failures too. Friday was minor. I had 3 small squares of chocolate, but otherwise all was well. Still, a failure, but I felt better about it as I've, again, been struggling. I'm wondering if it'll ever be easy or if it'll just be that I've made some habitual changes including eating less snacks and less frequently eating sweets during the week. That's better than nothing, but I wish I could manage to change my instincts to eat "right" and be "good."
Yesterday and today were S days. Both were pretty in control. My ex-boyfriend was in town from yesterday afternoon until this evening so our meals were together and I wasn't snacking much. I did have sweets both days for sure, though.
So, back to it tomorrow. It's opening night of a show at the theater and there's a party after the show. I haven't decided if I'll make it an S day or not yet, though. If I do, it'll just be for the dinner portion of the day.
