I have been doing pretty good with this challenge if you don't count the cookies I had today. I have cut way back on my carbs, not eating as much red meat, and haven't had any noodles for awhile. So, I am pleased with this so far.
I am now working on my portions. I have cut way back on calories since I started to count them again. It's amazing how fast they add up. And it's a real eye opener on what foods not to eat that are high in calories.
So, looking forward to doing even better in this challenge....

im keeping a food diary on livestrong.com and i am amazed at how high the graph states my intake of carbs....i definately am not getting enough protein!!! i need to shake my menu up and stop taking in the carbs...
today, with my headache..(which after a nap just now, has finally settled some! THANK GOD!) i ate terribly the last two days...today and yest. Lots of carbs, cushiony comfort foods....while i still want them..i am eying the chuck roast green chile stew cooking and planning on enjoying that for dinner tonite. It has 2 potatos, celery, carrots and onions. I put green chile, fresh garlic, sea salt, pepper and paprika. Its HOT!!!! Sour cream will be needed. The drag is, D wont eat much of that stuff...if any....he will eat the meat leaving me all the veggies and potatos. I dont get much variety when it comes to putting things into stews for him...he is totally not into those veggies since folks forced it on him growing up. Thanks Steve! NOT! UGH! I have my work cut out for me!
I had wheat toast with honey and butter for my lunch with shaved roast beef and a fresh peach, with a pepsi (the caffeine is my choice for headakes when nothing else seems to help). After that i went to lay down for about an hour. I do feel better. Yay.
Now, to get motivated to do something that will burn down the #%@&! i put in.....ugh...and i am kinda bloated, blocked (how do you say you need to poo without being tacky? lol)
ok, enough said.....heres to not blowing the rest of our days!

OK, had to stop in here cause my eating lately has been bad. Had some brownies last week. This week it's been pizza.
When will I learn that even if I have to eat this stuff that to go light. Not eat it like I will never have it again. God, I seriously pig out and can't stop myself. It's so sick!
So, thought a look at some of my list might help me out again......Oh yea, here's the new list for now.....
1. No Pizza- frozen or take out
2. No noodles- get over it - they have to many calorie. Eat some brown rice...
3. Sweets - stick to your diet goodies and nothing else.
4. Learn when to shut your mouth and walk away. Is really worth the way you feel about it later.... Just stop and walk away...
5. Anytime you break one of these rules it is an extra 20mins on the treadmill.
Ok, now I got to go and print this off for the refrigerator.......

cport your goals are great! i love the 20 min extra workout if you fall off your wagon!! Talk about great motivation!
As for me, lets see....right now, oddly enough i think i am holding down the bingeing...its wierd, the last few days i havent been strained as badly as usual. Last nite even i didnt eat anything after dinner!!! WOW!!!
I have moderated my soda intake, i do drink my coffee with milk and sugar but its not hurting me and i am not goin overboard. Sweets, well there arent many around here at the moment that i cant live without...lol....
mj is up, so i will be back to revise this... ;) lol
ok, im back now...lets see what do i need to work on!
i think still for me at this point its knowing when to stop and let my tummy rest and see if i still want to have more to eat!!!!!!
1. No Cookies! I will moderate on the intake of sweets; if i have them, just have a serving and NO MORE and no more than ONCE A DAY!!!!!!
2. Dont pass up meals because that leads to overconsumption later.
3. nothing after 9pm, except my water jug.
4. if i have a cookie or something sweet that i shouldnt have, above the one serving i am allowing myself per day..... then i need to concede to do a 12 min mile (5mph walk/jog) for it.
5. AVOID the HALLOWEEN CANDY!!!!! {I wont buy any for here because we dont get kids and MJ will be heading to my folks for Halloween i am sure because they will take her to old town to the stores that pass out candy and have contests etc for the kids....last year they had such a great time i cant say no. We live so far out of town and around here, its all guard dog signs and blah blah...so why not right? does that make me a bad mom?????? }

Cport, like BJD, I love your idea of 20 minutes extra on the treadmill if you fall off. I think I will incorpotate that too. So for me it's no ice cream and if I do 20 minutes extra at the gym per 1/2 cup....that way I won't say oh well I had some and eat more in the same day  .

I was doing pretty good on this challenge until sunday night. I broke down and had some pizza. It's some that I get from the schwan man. By far the best frozen pizza I have ever had. Anyway, I need to quit falling apart at night and pigging out. It's not just the pizza. Saturday night it was breakfast sandwiches. I need to just go to bed and quit with the pig outs.
Ok, well got to get busy. I will update this later on...

Yea, well I didn't do so well last night either. Seems to be my thing these days. See how much I can eat before bed. It was hubbys birthday yesterday. So, we went to eat at arbys. One of his favorite eat places. So, had that then cake. But, I was pretty light on calories the rest of the day. I only had about 400-500cals before the arbys trip. But, I only walked two miles yesterday as well. So, who knows. I am trying really hard to be good today and get a nice number on the scale in the morning. I would really like to be back down to 133lbs by the end of the month. Then I can get started on the rest next month....
Ok, well it's a plan...

HA HA HA LOL...............here i am feeling bad about the choices i am making this weekend and all along i wasnt alone...thanks ladies...i feel much better now...honestly because i wrote my new nonos down put them next to the fridge and for my LIFE>..i am obsessing about CANDY! SNICKERS!!!
I was so sick on sunday, i asked D to get me a snickers bar. I ate it ALL! AN ENTIRE KING SIZE SNICKERS BAR!!! OMG!
Then, i felt horrible for being so weak but my head was aching so bad, it was all i could taste and keep down, sad isnt it???
It wasnt so much the choices i made all the weekend thru, it was the amounts and how often....argh. I didnt do terrible at nite, its been during the day. At nite, i had hot tea or diet cocoa.....but the temptations didnt cease...i just held them back because i had been so bad all day!!! lol...
yesterday i did cooking for D's lunches, made some cookies and pumpkin muffins. I ate the batter of the muffins and gulped down two tiny cookies. (they are premade in the squares and i cut the square in half to make two cookies) so i only had one serving in the serving size they tell you. BUT STILL! I swore I would start on Monday...and I blew it too...
So, today i get to do my 12 min mile and i get to do my workout too.....lol
gotta get back to the 156 i had on sunday morning!!!! BUGGA BUGGA!!!

blew the weekend away with 4 candy bars between sunday and monday. no no no!!!
also allowed myself to have eggo waffles for dinner monday nite with D......had 4 of them!!!! MY GOODNESS WHAT TOOK AWAY MY CONTROL?
D tells me last nite that i am obsessive about this. He said that i write it down as soon as i am done eating, less than 15 min to eat, then i log it online in my diary there, then i beat myself up for an hour afterwards.
Its true. Its sad and true. He wants me to change my mind frame and just say its ok to be in the window of 157-162 or so and enjoy how far i have come.
He doesnt understand that if i conceed to maintain here,that i will slowly climb back up over the 162 mark then up to 170 by holidays...and i cant do it.
Of course, we dont agree on this. WHat is there to do? How can i please both of us in what is supposed to be a journey for me and my health????

ate kit kat today, and 4 small chocolate chip cookies...but to combat that weak moment i did 5 12 min miles so i dont feel quite so guilty but i dont feel good about it either. I am trying to just allow myself to enjoy eating them without guilt, but its seeming to allude me... ;-(
each day is definately a new challenge!!! ARGH!
havent had anything else that isnt good for me since then....and dinner is around the corner, I think I will be making the chile hot dogs for mj and d. I will have just chile, not hot dogs or bread...but i will put shredded cheese and some tortilla chips on mine, and beans too.
ok, well, hope you all are hanging in esp with all the tasty trickery treats hanging around the corners at the stores!!!
