Wow.. sounds like you had breakfast all day.  lol... lots of carbs there with those choices.  Hope you are doing well.  Check that protein number. Carla

Not a good day for me.  We went to my MIL and of course nothing healtly, all that fried stuff, lol.  Then about 9 last night I had the craving for chocolate and let it control my thinking. Today I am feeling good still though even with  a bad yesterday, scale down 5.6 lbs since last Monday.  I am where I want to be and need to find that happy medium. January 20, 2008

Hmm. not sure what to think about your diet today. lol.. Your protein is low ad your cals are low.  I look at what you ate and it looks like you really didnt eat a lot but a couple of the things where high in cals  and carbs.  Probably not the best choices as you stated.  There are just days like this.  It's great you continue to loose.. you are doing fantasic.  You will be back to goal before you know it.

Yes you are Anita Jo.  I am so proud of you for sticking to it.  Not to long ago that would have been a problem for you, but now that ship is sailing right.  Wail right to goal my friend.. you can do it. Carla

i am proud of myself too and it is hard after 4 years.. bad habits but i am trying very hard. i beat my 150 goal.now why is it i like to see 140 pounds. do people do that ? do another goal or am i pushing it. i want to keep the sails up.  yes i can do it............. anita

I have reset my goal 4 times so yes you can.  I began saying.. if i could only get to 150 i would be happy.  Than I wanted 135.  than I thought 130 could be interesting.  Than I went for 125 and I am at 120 now.  at 5'5 I am not at all wrong for going lower.  I think you should look at what you want, how you feel and what the bmi and everything says.  Mine says i could go to 107 but I would never be comfortable there.. I like where I am right now.  Find the place you feel good at and go for it..  You are sailing so well now.. keep it up...

I wore myself out today. We had a barbeque for the whole neighborhood (five families) and so it was either clean or serve all day long. Thankfully we were done and everyone went on home about 6:30...I was in bed at 7 pm and slept a full 11 hours! What a blast!  Breakfast: Malto meal, wheat germ, banana and soy milk, coffee (I put 2 oz of soy milk in each cup so that counts too).  Snack: 1 large protein bar, Big 100 Colossal, 31 grams of protein  Lunch: Salmon Roulette with a salad of mixed greens and 2 T of Ranch dressing Dinner: 2 chicken thighs including the skins, 1 cup of potato chips and onion soup dip made from NF Sour Cream. Not sure how much but figure a cup of that too. AND I drank 2 wine coolers. I counted it as 24 ounces on the fitday charts. The BBQ started at 2pm and I was nibbling all afternoon on. I have no idea how much I had but tomorrow is another day, as Scarlet would say. Totals (conservative estimate): Calories: 2151 Fat: 71 Carbs 222 Protein: 111 I did good on protein, everything else was a mess but I was so exhausted, I must have run most of it off..Too much fun. We have to do that more often, our neighbors are great people.
