Trying to stay strong tonight. I've kept my no eating after 8pm rule tonight at least!!

Had a couple of slip ups this week. Large McDonald's meal with milkshake after stressful day of work and not being picked up from work until 1 1/2 hours after I got off (boyfriend slept through his alarm). Texas Roadhouse dinner tonight and haven't eaten anything else today. I'm going to make meals ahead so they're ready and I won't be so tempted to eat out. I also need an outlet for emotional days.
I also am kind of upset that I didn't go to the gym today. I got up at about 5pm after oversleeping and after eating out and getting other things done it was too late. I hate weekends. The gym isn't open all night.

Everyones progress has been sooo motivational!! So great to see everyone sticking with it and also those picking it up in the middle of the game!!

Some have already lost a few pounds so it shows u can lose even in just a few days..

So if uve fallen off the wagon u can pick up today and go strong thru the weekend!! On that note also.. I've found that a big part is confessing the bad things I've done... ahem.. I went out last night and had a weak McDonald's moment .. bacon cheese biscuit and fries... ////. Even tho its embarrassing and I hate to admit it... for me, it allows me to say its OKAY.. I'm not perfect, and hop back on the wagon. I'm still moving in the right direction and I don't expect to go from all junk food to completely healthy in a few days.

That's been a big part for me.. if I mess up I used to just give up completely and the cycle goes on... thanks to confessing to u all I can get back with it... and guess what.. I've lost 1.6 pounds!!!! Woohooo!!

Thank u all for being so supportive and participating.. it makes all the difference!!

Looking forward to Mondays weigh in!

So happy you posted this! I had an epic fail last night, and ate 'movie night popcorn' (includes pb and choc) and then shared a blizzard with my kids. DYK, that even a 1/4 of a med blizzard is STILL 200calories!!:ohwell: And, I didn't work out, which is embarrassing. I'm beginning to wonder HOW I'm going to make it through this... I can't even do 3 days! LOL. Alright, here's to the weekend!

People. Lets get it together!! I realize we can't be perfect an will have slip ups. A cheat meal a week is not a bad idea and won't kill ya. As long as you are working hard and earning them extra calories right? It's week 1 so give yourself a free pass card but let's do better in week 2. I say we all make a pledge of no McDonald's in week 2. If you have McDonald's you have to put $10 in the group kitty. We could then use the kitty at the end of the week and give that out to the top performers. Hmmm maybe ill post this in group awards section and gage interest

I've used this weekend to regroup and plan out my meals. Ironically, this is weekend is probably the easiest time I have had to staying under my calories all week, yet I am still having trouble hitting 1000 calories (so much food, I kinda want to vomit)
. For vegetables, I have raw green peppers and iceberg lettuce. The calories are miniscule, so I am not adding them in.

What I have so far:

2 Hardboiled eggs - 140cal 13g protein 10g fat 1g carb

16oz Chicken Breast - 440cal 92g protein 10g fat 0g carb

Sugar-free Pudding - 70cal 1g protein 3g fat 4g carb

2 Slices Thin Swiss Cheese - 120cal 8g protein 10g fat 0g carb

5 Yummy all-natural Dino Buddies - 180cal 10g protein 10g fat 13g carb

So far, I have 950cal 125g protein 43g fat 18g carbs total, and gotta fill in about 450 cals and bits and pieces from the pfc's to hit my intake goals. I don't always eat this way, but when you fill it with more whole foods, you have some left over for a treat, which I think my 450 calories are going towards.

If I dont remember to weigh in on Monday, then I'll weigh in whenever I remember. That should probably be Tuesday.

So, weekends are not good for me.... I'm shooting for a better week. MORE activity (ie EVERYDAY) and LESS calories! I did, however weigh in at 135.2. .8 loss. Not huge, but, I'll take it. Here's to at least 133 next week!!

My weekend was full of ups and downs! I made a great healthy dinner Friday night and then ended up having three glasses of wine that seemed to be quite relentless! Saturday I stayed active but didn't do any actual workouts and ate well. Sunday had a great start and then after breakfast around 9am we headed outside and didn't get home or eat again until almost 6pm. I was nervous to jump on the scale this morning, and rightfully so...was up a pound Hopefully it will come off this week and then some!

I hear you guys..up and downs here and not between the sheets either. LOL j/K

*sigh*
