    Sorry for slacking off on recording. It seems to always be something to do "later" but I need to stop thinking like that... You guys deserve better...

    7/10 = 20
    7/11 = 30
    7/12 = 20
    7/13 = 10
    7/14 = 30
    Total - 110 + 150 = 260

    Because I was getting tired of the PM's about my diary from others, so I figured I would just close it for now and have a little break. I cannot please everyone and am tired of explaining.. I am currently working with a nutrition coach.. he's awesome, I am the one that needs alot of work.

    sounds reasonable to me...why are people worried about that??

    close on carbs/fat...but 10 each for sugar and protein = 150...beginning to see that increasing the protein is helping me not feel the need to 'snack' at night so that's a good thing...and my rings are sliding around my fingers and my cheekbones are starting to show themselves, so even though I haven't weighed in a while and I know i'm still up...I think it's starting to have a positive effect B)

    some think I am not eating enough for all the activity I do... I am just tired of the debate

    7/14 = 40 + 260 = 300

    The stars were aligned yesterday for some reason. Way over on protein.

    Glad to hear the protein pursuit is going well, M. It's tough but with your culinary skills you have an advantage. You can make great natural protein based dishes. Even with a recipe, I'm toast...

    fwiw, check out @videomeals on IG. Seem to have a lot of dishes... They sure look pretty anyway :smiley:

    7/14 = 40 + 260 = 300 (shoulda been 7/15)

    7/16 = 40 + 300 = 340 (pretty low on cals & carbs but it was a rest day)

    Good job for both of you! Michele, IMHO you shouldn't worry about carbs until your Tri is over.

    Weekend was a food fest. Thankfully, I didn't add alcohol to the mix. Total points for the weekend was 40. I am so happy we are counting sugar.. LOL. 240+40=280

    now tri's over....next up is the big swim end of august, so till then, i'd like to look as not stuffed sausage as possible in a wetsuit...weekend eating wise was pretty good only points wise not so much - 20 for Friday, 10 for Saturday, and yesterday I didn't log, so i'll take a zero (probably really had a decent day...didn't go anywhere's near wild, mostly actually I was just thirsty and it was almost too hot to eat...) but...that leaves me at a sad 210 total...
