30 Day Challenge Day 20

Day 20...2/3's of the way through the Challenge...yahoo...it does seem a little easier to make better choices, but not always...

I was -2.2 lbs. from yesterday...obviously was the sodium and fluid retention...I know I didn't starve myself!

I 'm at -9.4 lbs.   Maybe if I'm semi-good I'll be at -10 by Monday morning. 

Today:

protein coffee latte
lots of liquids
Oh Yeah protein drink
have no idea for lunch during day...going to a school competition
  and their having a hospitality room...did pack almonds/Fiber   ONe bar for decent choices just in case!
Dinner: beef quesadilla w/ leftover top sirloin

No time for exercise this morning...maybe I'll make myself ride bike tonight.

How are you doing?

Morning, Karla.  I'm doing well...back up to 138 but that's a-okay by me.  My PCP said not to worry unless I got to 145 but I seem to stick around 138-140.  Had very little water yesterday & also very little food since I slept so much.  Don't know what's on the menu for today yet...it's too early BU****er is definately a must today.  Have my morning vitamins in already.

Have a great day!!

Hugs,

Jeri

Morning everyone.  Yesterday I made great choices and scale dropped a little (0.6 lbs) but I'm still up from my lowest.  Yesterday I had 1119 calories and 93 gm of protein.  Work was nuts again so I didn't get in all my water. 

Plan for today:

Breakfast: protein shake

Lunch: deli meat/cheese with fresh fruit

Dinner: grilled shrimp, coleslaw

Snacks: sf/ff pudding (already made), protein bar.

If I can stick to my plan it will be another good day.  I also plan to workout today.  I was originally supposed to work but yesterday my boss changed my schedule so I work next Saturday instead.

Good Morning all,
found some quite time to spend on the computer, kinda a crazy week this week, sick kids, bladder infections, work, just life got crazy~ I ate very well, however had some muncheys but nothing that I can get all upset over...remember, I'm wearing big girl panties, and I made the choices no one else did..LOL
I did have two WOW moments this week, and boy did they feel good, kinda forgot how pumped they make you feel....One of them was...Mel, you losing weight, you look smaller????  OMG I wanted to hug her, I did..LOL
My second one was a total male stranger telling me that my glasses look very nice on me, and the my eyes are beautiful......at first I thought he was talking to someone else..LOL  I did thank him, but did not hug him..remember a stranger...LOL

I can not believe we are 20 days into our challenge....seems like last week Stephanie was posting this...(((STEPHANIE)))  I think we all have done a wonderful job, staying focused, finding our true meaning of WL and what our true goals are...((HUGS TO ALL))

In the 20 days, I have changed my eating patterns a lot, I feel better, I am sleeping better, (I know longer eat junk after taking my lunesta..) I am going to the gym, however I do need to really work on going more..LOL

Today is going to be a quite day around here, the kids are recovering from the stomach flu, I have some house cleaning to do today, and movies to watch...
Here is what is on my menu for today~
coffee splenda and creamer
B-Protein Shake
L-Spinach Salad with egg
D-Chicken of some sort
I know I will snack so I might have anything from Yogurt, applesauce, oranges, almonds, veggie cabbage soup....not sure yet...

Stay warm today, Stay safe, and remember 21 days make a habit!!

Jumping on real quick,  Not sure I will be on the rest of the day.  we are at the ranch and plan to enjoy it to the fullest.  Had a good day yesterday and plan to have a good one today.  Calories stayed low yesterday, water was in, ran 3 miles burned over 600 cal, protein was high, life was good.    I had to go back to check to see where I had started weight wise and the day I started this challange I weighed 178.  The very next day I weighed 175.  I have hung in the 175 to 178 range this entire month.  Plus 175 is what I weighed back in Dec. I got on the scale this morning and I weighed 171.  Woohoo finally the scale moved.  So I plan to stay on track today and keep working it!  Thanks for keeping this going guys.  It has helped me greatly especially through my stall.

Jenn,

Your bones must be heavy cause there is NO WAY you weigh in the 170's you look like you weigh in the 120's!  Your tiny! You look alot smaller than I do. My goodness you don't have much more to loose you will blow away

Your loved!

Lynnette

You are so sweet to say that.  I have been battling with how much I weigh versus the size I am in.  I can only hope it is these muscles I am building make me heavier.

Love you,
Jenn

Wt is up a little but still at goal weighed 151 today. But I haven't pooped in a few days. TMI lol Still not getting in enough protein.My gym finally built a new one in Whitesboro so I have no excuse. sigh.......... OK the goal this weekend is to increase protein, lower carbs.

Menu for the day

Breakfast-1 cup of cream of wheat

Lunch-Chicken salad (cafe in Muenster)

Dinner-HM Beef Stew

Snack-protein shake

Late nite snack-100 calorie popcorn

well the seesaw continues of maintenance.. boy, don't know if I like that word but it's here so I will take it.

156 today, and I think that's either the same or a pound down from yesterday.  I know it's up a pound from Wednesday morning, but that day I was suffering from something being stuck.

I don't know about everyone else but I was so hungry yesterday I felt I ate none stop.  nothing terrible but it was going in.  guess I didn't do too much damage.

Not sure what the plan is for today.  we are going to be gone most of it and I dont' usually plan well.  I will try to be better snacks for the volunteer work.  Might do some shopping after I drop Emm off at her dad's house.   it's the evening time alone that can be dangerous.

We could do an on-line yahoo chat tonight.  We haven't done that in a LONG time and it would keep you from eating.  If you want to, make a post or text some peeps and let me know.  I'm too computer illiterate to start it, but I'll jump in if you want me to. (See, I have no life on a Sat. night either, lol).
