I have been eating a lot more fruit than I used to, but I've been *trying* to follow the WW point system, which allows it.  Boy, gotta tell you - my body isn't used to that much fiber!!  I have been bouncing up a few lbs and it may be because of it, so I think I'll reduce it that may help.

Working from home today and tomorrow.  I've also been applying for jobs in Michigan - just in case my job goes away.  I won't know until Sept, but sometimes it takes quite awhile to even get an interview.  Of course they'll probably want an interview when I'm out in VA...

Where do you find your Carbquick?  I need to start using it.

I ate all that pizza yesterday - ugh!  Now it's gone. 

B - coffee, protein hot chocolate and 2 pieces of low calorie wheat bread with butter

L - greek yogurt with SF jelly

D - idk

Vits:  yes

Water: 

Yes, in the scope of things, I will be closer to Gina. It will be much easier now to meet up.

Hi Roz.  I'm not wishing the month away as summer will fly by all too fast, but I am looking forward to the weekend.

B - coffee

S - a piece of pizza. 

L - I'm really trying NOT to have another one.  But I think I'll lose that fight.  Otherwise I'm having greek yogurt flavored with Sugar free jelly.

D - IDK.  A sandwich?  my pick of cheese or peanut butter... or pizza - lol.  Yes, I have 3 pieces leftover.  I have a 4 hr training meeting tonight and will be doing it from home.  Lucky for me I have NO snacky stuff here.

Vits:  yes, took extras today because I missed the past few days

Water:  we'll see

Hi Roz.... tell me again how we lose regain?  Seems the harder I try the more I gain...

I did well on my drive back yesterday.  I had a bunch of fruit and leftover veggies I munched on.  Did end up getting a BK chicken sandwich and ate a 1/2 cup of cheesy tortilla soup last night.  Boy - did I feel the restriction then!

B - banana, carrots and a tomato

L - Smart Ones dinner

S - some cashews

S- Atkins bar

D - cheese sandwich on wheat bread/butter and a small chunk of cheese

Vits:  no... bad me.  I'll take them tonight

Water:  need more

I had set 5 lb increments.  Especially once I hit my initial goal (150).  I didn't know how far I could get, and when I would hit 145, then 140 was my goal.. .135, 130... with the final goal of 125. 

Make them achieveable, maintainable and doable... then keep working the program to see where you end up. 

What surgery are you having?  Your meals look very good - and your calories and carbs are low, and protein looks good.  

Hmmm... not sure how that works unless it's motivation to get  your exercise done so you can eat it!!  :)

If I had a smidgen of your determination, I'd be back at goal... I love your attitude.

Congrats Lauren!  Honestly, we've seen vets come back when they need support and direction to lose their regain, but no one has really stayed and stuck with it as you have.

You definitely are an inspiration to those of us who need to lose!!

Hi Roz!  Happy birthday to your Grandson!  Too cute about kindergarten...  

Not sure what's on my eat plate today.  I'm trying to clean my fridge out in anticipation of returning to VA on Sunday.  I don't like leaving much in it in case it goes bad.  

Last night I ended up going out to dinner with the kids.  I rarely eat hamburgs but one sounded good, so I had an open faced BBQ Bacon burger - it was really good.  A few fries, got cold quick (which is good)... plus with them being a simple carb I have to be careful with my blood sugar (and a beer of course).

I have meetings all afternoon - boo!  My daughter wants me to go look at a house with her at 3.  I said yes, until a meeting invite rolled in this morning.  One I can't blow off either...

We ended up looking at the house at 11:30 - which worked out well for my schedule.  She liked it but her hubby didn't.  It would need some work. 

I just want to munch.  I'm not hungry, but I'm not full.  I'm trying to keep it under control with drinking my tea.  I know if I eat something carby I'll get gassy and feel bad. 

B - protein coffee (10'ish again) ok - didn't have this.  My protein "curdled" - yuk! 

S - a banana

L - smart Ones meal and a peach

D - 3 oz steak and lobster tail

Vits:will do

Water:  Making my own low-sugar cranberry tea - we'll see how it turns out

I know - me too, especially since I've put some weight on.  I tend to count all carbs... haha - if I count them at all!  

I'll post here too!  

Gorgeous weather here in MI today - 82, low humidity and a nice breeze.  VERY nice after the cold, bone chilling weather we had Sun/Mon.

Having the munchies today for some reason.  I think it's cause I ate some carbs yesterday and am thinking I need more... when I'm in MI my eating schedule is pretty close to the times below.  Just the way it likes to eat I guess. That is when I feel hungry.  

Coffee

B (at 10am) 2 egg scramble with veggies (spinach, onions, green peppers, tomatoes and cheese)

S - (noonish) a few grapes and a peach

L - (at 2:30) - peanut butter and SF jelly sandwich on lite wheat bread (that's the munchie part)

D - ?  

vites: yes

water:  doing pretty good.  

Sounds like you're on your way and it's going to be a positive experience!  Congratulations!
