Day 21

Hi everyone,
Another completely chaotic day today . Spent the entire day in the doctors office with various kids having various problems. It was especially bad for eating as all I could grab was a yogurt this morning before the gym. I didn't eat again until about 4-5pm.

It was a great day in the respect that the three pounds I gained on Wednesday, was magically gone-along with an extra pound  I think I have learned not to weigh in during that "magical" time of the month!

Today I started out early. After dropping kids off at school and hubby off to work, I went to the Y. Spent an hour there in vigorous weight training, then an additional 20 minutes on the recumbent bike. i am sore, still...I think I am still not ready for biking with the knee. Will not try again for a while.

Consumed 870 Calories
yogurt 100   6" turkey subway;loaded with veggies   280  chili w/turkey meat/mushrooms  150   coleslaw  120
 2 s/f pudding cups 120   milk 100

Have a good night everyone.

Day 20

Hi WLB's,
     Struggled once again with eating today. I really need to get some soups, and lean pre-cooked protein in the house. My main problem is  what is on the menu.
I didn't get to exercise today. My little guy hasn't been feeling very good, fever etc, and wouldn't let me leave his side. I sure hope I don't end up with it. I've already had some major headache and some flip floppy stomach going on. 
I consumed 950 cals today.
The menu consisted of: 2 yogurts, 1 string cheese, 2 s/f pudding cups, 1 serving chips, coleslaw (trying to get some veggies in with the still broken tooth), chili beans (which contained, turkey breast and mushrooms), 8 oz 2% milk.
I didn't get enough water drank today as I ran out of bottled water and couldn't get some until this evening. I can't gack our tap water, it is like drinking out of an aquarium!! I really noticed not having 100+ oz of water today. I've really gotten used to being hydrated.
I'm going to weigh again tomorrow, I sure as heck hope it looks a lot better than when I tried on Wednesday.
Hang in there everyone

How do you eat an elephant? ONE BITE AT A TIME

hmmm..

This site appears to have a sales pitch, but after reading some of it, the information does appear to have validity as well.
It is always so difficult to tell what is just at pitch and what is genuine. I would say after looking at this site that it has some decent information on it.
I believe that the "3 day zig zag" is very likely to work well for some of us "dieters".
Anyway, just wanted to share this site, as it appears to have a few tips on it that may be useful to some.
