I tried to do well today. I had a plan! MargieM was writing about 'Scan and Plan' yesterday. So today when I got up, before I ate anything, I planned out my day.
WELL as soon as Ray heated up leftover lasagna the smell ruined my plan. BUT I still tried to eat less all day since I knew that probably had a LOT of calories. (and i just added them up lol, not as bad as I thought but still a LOT) I have been having to many sweets lately, have to work on that. The werther's where purchased for that reason- to curb my sweet cravings. I usually don't have that to bad, but I do right now.
Even though it hasn't been great, it is better than last weeks binges. SO I'm hoping for a loss tomorrow. Wish me luck! I'm gonna need it :)

Thanks for the welcome. I love your blog and how real it is. I am on the weight loss journey with you...so I am routing for you!!
ReplyDeleteCongrats on the weight-loss so far. I just stumbled across your blog and was captivated by your daily food breakdown. One suggestion, instead of a pop tart or other high sugar snacks, try a VitaTop. Only 100 calories, very filling, low fat, and packed with vitamins and fiber. And they come in chocolate among other flavors, might be right up your alley. I look forward to reading on. Thanks!

Your title made me laugh - and then be sad for you. I know you are trying, otherwise why would you post so honestly?
ReplyDeleteI do know how you feel tho' - really - I made fried chicken again last night [so I could get the recipe written down once and for all with pics - your recipes are next :)] but as everyone ate, enjoying all of it - I was eating baked chicken, no skin. It's good, but it ain't no fried chicken, know what I mean? If I could just eat what I wanted to I could put the weight on - but I can't. [Going to confuse a few new readers with THAT statement I am sure :) ] - but same for you - I get it, just in reverse.
And girl - if you don't cut out the pop I am driving over there and poke holes in all the cans. HA! You need to find a substitute for soda - and like Tessa said - it takes almost a month to break a habit - but please, please, please try to drink something else. Even an iced tea with Splenda and a lemon is better than all that nasty soda. Tea is good for you and there are so many types.
Okay I will shut up now. :) Just know I love ya - and want what is going to keep you around as my friend for a verrrrrrrrry long time. Got it?
Thank you colenic :) That's very important to me, being honest. I figure I won't ever beat this if I'm not honest! Especially with myself!
ReplyDeleteThank you for stopping by Dave! I have never heard of VitaTop, I will definitely check it out. I actually have not had poptarts in the house for a long time. BUT my son wanted them so I got them. Even though they are S'mores, my FAVORITE, I am going to try and stay clear of them!!!
Oh SkippyMom, I have NO will power compared to you! I would probably resort to chewing the skin and spitting it out to be honest!!! lol... NO more pop for me! You are absolutely right. That was my first rule when I started, and I did so good for so long... don't know what happened, but pop is out!!!
I love u too SkippyMom :) Thanks :)
