This group is all about ACCOUNTABILITY! I want you to write down every thing you eat and drink today and post it in the group at the end of the day. If you truly serious about being accountable and doing this then I cant wait to see over 60 posts about what you all ate today including myself! :) Make sure to try and get your water in. Half your body weight in ounces is what you should drink by the end of the day,

    I would probably drown if I drank 1/2 my body weight in water, but I will give it a go.

    How do you get the "pounds lost" graphic from the myfitness pal site?

    Drinking half my body weight is 95oz = 11 cups (8oz) of water though most glasses are 12+oz.

    I'm 2 glasses in, and have 10 hours left in the day, so it's possible for me to do this. We'll have to see how things actually end up but if a person can drink a 12 oz glass every hour, we should all be able to drink 180oz...

    Today hasn't been great. Actually it's been appalling! It's been tempting to not log accurately. I'm so glad I have this group to post in today!

    What I've eaten today:
    Porridge
    Uncounted amount of sesame sticks (a co worker had them and I just kept eating)
    Strawberry Nutri Grain Bar
    Cheesestring
    Peach Slices in fruit juice
    Homemade vegetable, lentil & chickpea soup
    Kiwi
    10 grapes
    3 strawberries
    40g pineapple
    Pork chop
    Baked potato with cheese and baked beans
    Chocolate Fudge Cake
    2 x Ryvita Crackerbreads
    9 glasses of water
    3 cans of Diet Coke

    The damage:
    -324 calories. :(
    -41 carbs
    -38 sugar

    It's bizarre. I just didn't *care* today. Yesterday I was all high about having logged in for 100 days and today I don't care!

    Today I did the first day of the '3-day diet' AKA 'military diet' and have to admit the food plan is not typical and in some ways less healthy than my normal diet. But I'm curious to see if it'll work. So this is what I ate:

    Breakfast:
    1/2 Grapefruit
    1 Slice of Toast
    2 Tablespoons of Peanut Butter

    Lunch

    1/2 Cup of Tuna
    1 Slice of Toast

    Dinner
    3 ounces steak
    1 cup of green beans
    1/2 banana
    1 small apple
    1 cup of vanilla ice cream

    Am a little hungry but did enjoy the ice cream. Goal is to go to bed early tonight to avoid temptation.

    BIG SHOUT OUT to all of those who posted in here today! You are separating yourselves from the rest of that pack! You are showing just how committed you are to change and wanting to hold your self accountable! KUDOS! Loved seeing all the information and I am glad you guys were HONEST even if it was bad. At least we can help then. If you lie about what you eat and drink then we cant help you and your not doing anything to help yourself. Great job on our first day. Lets keep this show going!

    Water, lets see - currently at 81oz, goal was 95oz. So 1 more glass? ughhhhh

    Breakfast -Special k bar (vending machine due to forgetting breakfast at home), coffee, natural creamer
    Lunch - 1c stir-fry (homemade), 3/4c Israeli salad, 1 cutie, 10 carrots, 14 almonds
    Dinner - Salmon, 6oz
    Junk - 1 cookie, more coffee with cream, 1 tootsie roll, chips and salsa...

    Exercise... I keep having all these goals on exercise, I get off work, instantly become tired and barely get supper made (thus the kinda horrid supper).

    Basically, I do well till after work even the coffee after work only helped so much. What's worse, is work isn't nearly as stressful as it will be in July!

    Oh well, just finished another glass of water, so at least I hit that goal.

    PS. I don't usually recap until the morning after, so I may be a day late on some of these.
