Sad part. . . that I hate to admit. . is that after a whole day of satisfied eating and a great workout, I was only at 998 cals. The rest was consumed in vodka tonics with friends who came over to talk politics. Who wouldn't be driven to drink?? LOL!

Have a great weekend everyone!

Thanks Sam Frankie--Hopefully the scale will be good to me on Monday when I weigh in. Sometimes when I'm under the 1550 I wonder if I figured it right! I get so paranoid!

here I go--starting off good this week.
My goal is stay under 1550--I should probably go lower BUT

9/25 - 1230 (YES!)
9/26 - 1345
9/27 - 1533
9/28 - 1341
9/29 - 1389 (I'm surprised I ate bad today)
9/30 - 1791 (I was bad --was stressed!)
10/1 - 1320

Average 1421! Not BAD!

Ok, I'll tell ya what was up with the fruit & water at the game... lol??notlol really. I was saving up I think. I knew I had Friday night coming up. I think I'll just skip on over to next week's calorie challenge now. ahem. Being the weenie that I am. But I did enjoy it, believe me. Now I need to go exercise for 15 solid hours & won't, but I'll catch up. Need to get more serious next week for sure. Maybe if I don't START OUT my week with 2000 cals on Sunday, I'll have a fighting chance,huh. duuuuh

I feel bad that I look at overweight people eating horrible amounts of "poison" & think superior thoughts. I don't know if it's "superior" thoughts, it's kind of more like, "Oh my goodness - get a GRIP people!!! What are you THINKING!!?? Don't you CARE?!" I know I've been there, so does that make it better or worse I wonder? Kind of like reformed smokers being the worst critics. (I'm one of those too - 9 years now, almost 10) This one poor man walked by, & bless his heart, he didn't have any food in his hand, but as I was thinking about it, I thought, he probably had to have somebody go get it for him because he can't walk that far - very very overweight man - obviously kind of hard for him to walk. It's kind of like though what all we've read recently & talked about on here. First about the obesity epidemic & then here about the junk food epidemic or whatever. It's awful!!

And ya know what? That fruit I ate at the game was totally satisfying. I only got one slightly strange glance from an old lady who was eating a cheeseburger. lol

ok - need to go exercise...ummm...soon.

It's Friday Camille! Don't sweat it. I'm sure your average is still well well under your goal!! No worries. We can't all be perfect 100% of the time--it wouldn't be sustainable.

ok. . . I MOSTLY stayed out of the almond brittle. . . just 2 small pieces. But hey. . . I didn't say anything about the Hershey's miniatures jar did I????
I hate to admit it, but I think I AM a stress eater after all. Things have been a bit stressful at work lately---and it seems I'm turning to the munchies! No problem not eating after dinner or all evening long here. Perfectly happy with water and tea all night in my peaceful, calm house. Must be the stress.

Jenn. . .your performance at the game is AMAZING!! And I hate to say it, but to some degree (though it's not very kind of me to admit) a small level of superiority and holier-than-thoughness can be a motivator in itself. . .

lol Becky. Nope, I'll chop ur fingers off!!! GET OUTTA THAT BOX!!

I amazed even myself last night. You know what I ate at the football game?! Do you have ANY idea!!!???? Get this: I ate....drum roll please.... an apple....and....a banana....& drank.....water.
What is UP with that!!!???? hahahahahahahahaha
And I sat there I realized I needed an attitude check as I watched fat people go by with not only nacho's, but trays with nacho's, a hot dog, & a very large fully sugared bottle of Coke. I'm getting very judgemental aren't I? gotta watch that.

Samfrankie-

I was trying to stay under 1300 for this week. I've kind of stalled on the weight loss and was trying to jump start myself. I had a huge Organic Chemistry test this week and I've eaten a lot more than intended. All in all, the totals are not too bad, just not where I'd like them to be.

Petmomma. . . I don't know what your goal is, but your numbers this week look great to me!!

Jenn. . . yeah. . . my cals are at the top of my range b/c of all my snacking this week. When I enter my meals for the day and I see a total of a low 1100 cals or something, it gives me license to eat--and I just snack all day up to 1600 . . Oh well. It's been a nice reprieve from my strict eating, but I don't want the constant noshing to become a habit! I am NOT dipping into the almond brittle at work today. NOT. You can quote me!

I think this IS the break I was talking about Becky - letting myself go up to the top of my range every day. I could have had a lower number yesterday, but last night was hungry & craving something sweet, so Ihad a WW carrot cake (tiny) & a little box of raisins. Which accounts for 200 cals.

So much for "not riding so close to my max". Oh well. Apparently I'm getting used to this higher calorie range. . . hope that's for the good and not bad!

Hi Guys!! Looks like everyone is doing well!! I'm back after a few days in the mountains with family. This was my first time in my 2+ months with SP that I wasn't able to pre-track and track daily. And you know what?. . . I did OK!!! I jotted down everything I ate on paper while away and just entered it all now. I am actually IN range!! Close to the top of my range, but IN!! Just by making smart choices and showing a lot of restraint!

I'm in for 1200-1300.

Today I'm at 1348 including having Wendy's spicy chicken sandwich and fries. I knew I was going to have to eat dinner in the car while heading to Denton for a study group, so I conserved calories for breakfast and lunch. What scares me is how happy I was to be eating fast food.
