Yikes!
I just totaled my calories for yesterday…had a cook-out at my parents. I tried to account for every nibble even if it was baby carrots or fresh fruit. I also try to over estimate any guesses rather than under. My total for yesterday was 3032 cals! Woooo! I did get in fruits and veggies but wow! I am good with it. I enjoyed my day and didn’t stuff myself so now today is back to a more focused day of eating…not all the nibbles.
The last couple days have been busy and for whatever reason my internet seems to flake on me by afternoon til sundown…its weird. Im going to post my food journal for Saturday and Sunday. On SP the listing can get pretty long because it lists items seperatly even if you entered a food grouping (like I did for banana muffins). It wants to list out every item instead of combining them…so I will try to abbreviate it. Its for me…it really has helped with being more accountable so I will continue for a while longer to list it. I will also keep my weigh in to twice a week for now also…again, its helping with being accountable and has not turned into deciding my mood yet, so I will continue as I have. Bottom line for last week was I lost a total of 6 pounds and my daily average intake was about 1800 calories. I will keep trying this and see how this week goes.

Ehhhh welll…. today should be better eating-wise eh?! Hope you’re having a good long weekend. We get ours next weekend!
Hey,glad you had a good weekend! Well done for logging everything….when I go overboard on calories I never write them down, I’m only fooling myself!!
take care
Way to go one the weight loss, this must be working for you. Sounds like you had a great week end with your family. Used to love playing all those yard games,we kept a batmitton net in the front yard all summer and had a croquett course in the back yard. Even my parents friends came over and played! We should all do more of that.
Yeah…I ended up eating a burger, but I did have it on a whole wheat bun….new day, right?
Awesome job tracking everything. I have a spiral notebook I’ve used since I was going to weight watchers…in bold black marker on the front I printed “If I bite it, I write it!!!” No matter how small the nibble
Great going!!
I love how you tracked it all. Real eye opener, huh? I think you did great!
You are doing great with your accountability hon!
U r ROCKIN, Debbi ! A W E S O M E job this past week ! YEHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!
I had a great weekend and try to keep that same attitude, that no matter what is happening, I have many blessings as well.
Wow, 6 lbs girl!!! That is just awesome–so excited for you!
I came home from the hospital, checked my stuff, wrote a blog and commented in the forum..then, I came hunting my debbi blog! lol. I wanted to see how your doing and it looks like your on a hot streak girl!
You know, if nothing else–the lesson me and you have faced this last week–stress is here and its a mean witch…but we can still have victory over it with our choices!
ohhh …it stole my comment!!! awwwwwwwwww
