    I did really well yesterday, but today seems to be off to a bad start. I overheard something about lasagna for dinner and I know if it is offered to me I will eat some, even though it is bad for my weight loss and not a satisfying meal (I could eat a whole dinner full and still be hungry!). Stressing over that caused me to have two hashbrowns with mayonnaise. It seems like I'm good for a few days and then something comes up. :frown: I know I don't have to eat it, but I don't know of a way to avoid it without setting off stress that will lead to eating it anyway or eating something else that I shouldn't...

    It isn't that you can't have it but just watch the portion size and measure and it is not a food that you want to eat everyday.I know when I hear DIET it makes me want more food and makes me pick unhealthy choices but if you just exercise and watch how much you eat you can have anything and lots of water! You can do it!

    It's just hard knowing that even a small portion would be very high in calories and not filling at all. Though I suppose there's the option of filling half my plate with brussels sprouts. I'm sort of hoping for ham and beans, because I don't like those so I would just eat my own healthy food and a small piece of cornbread.

    "Diet" does make things harder though, doesn't it? It causes stress over food choices that lead to worse choices later. It's really odd worrying about dinner so early, since it isn't even noon yet, and I've been awake since 1am so I could even be sleeping by the time everyone else sits down to eat.

    The only way I like to hear "diet" is when a waitress asks me "Would you like another diet?" :laugh:

    I've already had 60 ounces of water, another 1.5 liters with propel mix, and I biked 6 miles.



    Wow you are doing really good with the water and exercise!:smile: For me I am just trying to make sure i jornal my food and make healthy choices and when wanting sweets which is my down fall,pick out a lower calorie/carb one. When I say Diet,it for me makes me more nervous and then if I say I am just trying to eat more healthy and make better choices,you know what I mean? Everyone is differnt how they view things so what ever works for you is great!

    Ok just got back from the gym me and hubby. I did 15 minutes on the spin bike I think it is called that and did 15 minutes on Threadmill and did a few minutes on stair climber,now that one wore me out. And did a little on machines. Burned 278 calories, I am doing the happy dance,well happy but not dancing so well! LOL I have been sore getting used to exercising again!

    Well another day done! Today was a good day for me and glad to hear others were having a good day as well! I feel I made good choices and even was able to have a couple sweet things that were good and not loaded with calories and etc. Going to watch a little tv and then off to bed I go as I have to be up by 5am and be at work at 6:30 AM. and work till 11 am and then off to the gym I go to work out( strength training tomorrow) Then come home and watch my 1 and only soap and do some stuff around the house and then off to take a nap and then back to work at 7:30 pm till 11 pm. I live about a 1/2 hour from where I work so.....and I have some odd hours but I do In home care/private a person twice a month. So will see you all back here tomorrow! God Bless!!:smile:
