Off and on

The meal at the Cheesecake Factory (Wednesday night) totally threw me off. I had such great plans, and I did order the Weight Management salad as planned, but I also ate 8 pieces of bread, 2 pats of butter, guacamole & chips, edamame, a few bites of pasta, and 6 bites of cheesecake.

Yesterday I started back but when I couldn't work out I got thrown off again. I had an okay day but had way too much yummy starchy dinner.

Took my sugar this morning and was pleased to see it at either 94 or 96 (can't remember). I just worked out and I'm pleased at how I feel.

I may have fallen off, but now I'm back. Keep on keeping on, right?

June 17

Wow, my legs are so sore from the workout yesterday - it feels good, and I'm looking forward to my session today. Weird. :-)

Had some old habits resurface yesterday - munched too much during my witching hours. Today my goal is to use an alternate method of coping when I feel those munchies coming on - a good one for me would be drinking a big glass of Crystal Light and then brushing my teeth. I just have to WANT to use an alternate method when those munchies hit - they can be persuasive!

Just made plans to surprise my Mom at the Cheesecake factory tonight - it's her birthday. I looked online and I'm going to get one of their new weight management salads - they say they're around 600 calories. Hopefully they're not TINY!

Morning sugar: 94

Breakfast: waffle (80), big glass crystal light - 80
Snack: none!
Lunch: soup (240), almonds (120), mandarin (40) - 480
Snack:
Dinner: everything at Cheesecake Factory! I screwed up my Weight Control salad by adding 8 pieces of bread, 2 pats of butter, guacamole & chips and edamame to it. Nice job!
Dessert: 4 bites cheesecake
BLTs:

Did I exercise today: Yes! It was pretty low-key but I did Day 3 of the Challenge. Go me!
Did I take my multi-vitamin today:
Did I take my calcium / D today:
Did I floss tonight:

I wake up feeling so good the mornings after a "good" day. I feel so organized and sane and I don't understand why I don't want to always feel this way - why I sabotage myself!

June 15

I'm starting this blog because I desperately need some accountability and I'm counting on my friends to comment, to bug me, to read, to stay with me. I need it!

I have six weeks until my 35th birthday. Nate starts real school this fall, and I always promised he wouldn't have a fat Mom. I've dithered around with my weight for forever, and I know why food is an issue for me but I can't keep going like this. I have so many reasons to overeat, but I just can't anymore.

I plan to do one post a day with the stats: what I ate, what I did for exercise, blood sugar, etc. Then other blogs on thoughts, feelings, all that garbage.

So here are the stats for today (I'll put in bold what I've already done):

Morning sugar: 86


Breakfast: waffle (85), glass of crystal light

Snack: cup of edamame (60), tiny mandarin orange (40), glass of crystal light - 185


Lunch: soup (260), carrots (50), hummus (100) - 595


Snacks: This is always where I lose it! 2 cups whole wheat pasta (360), brisket (150) - 1105

Dinner: Lean Cuisine (350) - 1455



Met my food goal (under 1700): Yes!

Exercise: Started Wii Active - did day 1 of 30-day challenge (burned 120 calories)

Multi-vitamin: Yes
Calcium/D: No
Floss at night: Yes
