Weight: 131.0
Goal: 125
Yeah!!!!! Even though I was so bad on Wednesday I was pretty good yesterday (except for a small piece of cake at Sandy's goodbye party) and the scale shows it. I think a couple of factors helped. Brad and I ran and I had a steak salad, which was pretty low on calories. I did have 3 reduced fat croissants with a little butter any jelly, but that was it. No wine and not other snacks. I am very happy with this number. Now the weekend is here, the toughest part of the week.
Breakfast:
Hot tea with skim milk & Low sugar oatmeal.
Snack:
Banana & light cheese stick
Lunch:
Lean Cuisine shrimp alfredo.

A Minor Set Back
Yesterday was not good.
It all started with cake at Dick's retirement. I asked for an end piece full of sugar. What was I thinking??? Then Brad and I went out to dinner. I told myself I'd get a salad, but everything else looked soooo good. I did have chicken, but it was smothered with pimento cheese and bacon. The Potatoes has a ton of butter and even the broccoli had butter on it (or something that made them taste so good). I also had 2 glasses of wine. I guess it could have been worse. There was cheesecake as a special, but I turned it down. Then when we got home I had one more glass of wine while we watched Halloween.
I have to look at this as a minor set back and just through my hands in the air and give up. Each day is a challenge and some days i will make mistakes, but if I begin to have more good days than bad then I will be a healthier/thinner person.

Weight: 130.6
Goal: 120
Yeah!!!! I am down a pound from yesterday. I know that I might be up a little tomorrow, but if i can get it to stay under 131 for the rest of this week I might have a shot of getting under 130. Wow, to be in the 120s! I was pretty good last night, but not perfect. I had left over rice & chicken for dinner and had a couple of left over carrots to add in more veggies. I did have 1.5 glasses of wine and 2 servings of corn chips. Not too bad, but would like to limit the corn chips to 1 serving. I didn't eat past 8, but did make my wine last till about 9. I hope today goes just as well....
Breakfast:
Hot tea with skim milk
Low sugar brown sugar oatmeal
Snack:
Banana
Light string cheese
Lunch:
Lean cuisine Beef tips & broccolli
1 Butterscotch hard candy
Dinner (Planned):
Eggs beaters, ham & cheese wrapped in reduced fat croissants
Evening snack:
Wine & popcorn
Goal: 120

Day 1 Food Journal
Start:131.7
Goal: 120
(Lovin' the new scale! At this point I need to see ounces lost a week because it is really hard to lose 1pd a week)
7:15
Ummmm....Oatmeal! My oatmeal did hit the spot this morning. Warm and sweet and only 130 calories. Lower Sugar Brown Sugar oatmeal. I'm lovin' it!
10:00
Had a banana for a snack. It was OK, I just don't feel satisfied.... I know I'm going to need to eat something else before lunch.
The banana wasn't firm enough, it was smusshy, very disappointing!
11:00
Decided to eat my orange. Another disappointment. It has seeds! ARGHHH! Do you know how hard it is to remove the seeds at my desk, not to mention messy. Now I'm wondering what I can bring for my 2nd snack tomorrow. I'm trying to be good and bring healthy snacks instead of eating hard candy that Kathy keeps by her desk. This eating healthy thing is harder than it seems!
12:00
Pineapple Greek Yogurt and a Low Sugar chocolate pudding, YUM! Not the most healthy lunch, but hit the spot and satisfied my sweet tooth. It could have been worse......
2:00
Work is slowing down, I'm having a hard time fighting the need to get a couple of hard candies from Kathy.

9:30am Monday "To be Free"
Wow! I haven't been on here in a while. Today I just needed a place to rant and rave and get out my demons. Unlike all the people who post their inner thoughts to Facebook, I'm going to post them here because I have very few followers and the ones that do follow should totally understand. So as a warning besides being an area for me to note my weight struggles, this will also be a place for me to vent, which are actually very tied together in my world. I am an emotional eater and stress easy an easy trigger for over eating or eating "comfort" food.
I have to admit this does feel very freeing and I think it may help in my struggle with weight, because I feel my struggle has a lot to do with my border line depression.
Here is my rant:
Got in this morning and there is a note from Elaine (my plate maker) that a Clorox job jacket got to the press with out her plating it and how did it get there? What is the big deal? She has a list and knows the jobs that she has to plate for the night AND I had told her personally that she had to do this job, that the guys would run it 1st thing Monday. The pressmen probably where pulling their Monday jackets and came and got the jacket. No Big Deal!
I have enough DRAMA at home with 2 teenage girls, I DON'T need it at work!

Frustration!!!
I know I haven't posted in a while, so here is the latest.
I have lost about 6 pounds since I started my diet in January, which sounds good, but I have hit a wall.
I'm just in a funk and getting frustrated with my weight. I was super good on Friday and Saturday. I worked out twice on Friday, walking for a/2 hour at lunch and then about 45minutes with my daughter after work. Saturday my daughter and I ran for about 45 minutes at the reservoir. So I was expecting to be close to 130 on Sunday morning, but was still between 131 and 132. Sunday morning I was going to log in my calories and the internet was down, well this set me off. I ate more for breakfast than I should have, but I tried to make up for it at lunch by eating a chicken breast over lettuce. When the internet was finally up I forgot to log in my calories and worked on other things. The about 5pm (which is early for me) I decided to have a glass of wine, which lead to 3 and very poor eating for the rest of the day. At least i did walk dogs at the animal shelter earlier in the day for about an hour. Yesterday I was the same 131/132. I eat very good during the day, my daughter and I played tennis after work and then had a OK dinner. Daughter wanted pasta, so I had pasta with cheese and veggie. But then at 7pm I was bored (probably because this is the time I usually work out) and after adding it all up ate about 600 cals between 7 and 8:30, OUCH! So I was 132 this morning.
Now that I have beat myself up over my eating I have to be positive and look at all the good habits I have formed in the last 2 month.
1. I eat Fruit everyday
2. I eat veggies everyday.
3. I drink 8 glasses of water a day
4. I work out at least 5 days a week
Here are my bad habits I still have:
1. Drinking wine during the week
2. Eating too much after 8pm
3. Eating too much cheese (I love cheese)
4. Not logging in food after I get home from work (sometimes I log my dinner before I eat it, so that's a plus)
5. Not eating at the dinner table (everyone is home at different times, but that shouldn't be an excuse)
Thanks for listening, I just needed to get that off my chest. Today will be a better day. I already know what I will have for dinner and have logged it and that leaves me 300 calories for my evening snack. I have been craving cheese lately so I'm gonna buy some 100 pack chezits. Not the most healthy, but better than cheese toast and eating slices of provolone cheese ;)
