Beckster's "homestretch run" diary

OK now I'm getting impatient...six pounds to go. I ask myself what's the hurry, you've been doing this for 10 months. I think in some way my brain thinks "then it will be over". Ha Ha Ha!! It will never be over for me, I will always have to work at this, and I know that. I just want that last six pounds gone now!!! Spoiled, need immediate gratification, you know the type..LOL.
 
I don't usually post what I eat in a day, so here's the plan for today.
Breakfast:
1 cup Oatmeal (rolled oats)
with skim milk and sugar
coffee

Lunch:
6 oz non-fat yogurt
1 Clif bar (energy bar)

Dinner:
1 Quinoa stuffed pepper. The quinoa has onions, garlic, diced tomatoes, and mushrooms mixed into it. Then I put a very small amount part-skim mozzarella on top of the peppers after this mixture gets stuffed into them, and bake!!!
For snacks today, I will have a banana, or some grapes.
 
Good morning. Congrats on the weigh in this week! 2 more gone! Boy you are getting supper close now! That is fantastic! So many are of us who are envious! ME for one :D
 
Well, Fitday says my average cals for the month are 1213 ish. I did fairly well this weekend. I did allow myself some 70% cocoa dark chocolate:eek: ...but only had slightly more than one serving. My cals for the day were still like 1140.
Today I had:
Breakfast
1 cup cooked rolled oats
1/2c fat free milk
3 teaspoons sugar (I know, I know)
Lunch
1 slice whole wheat bread toasted with one tablespoon peanut butter
1/2 c applesauce (unsweetened)
Dinner
2 Fat free refried bean enchiladas with lettuce and a small amount part skim mozzarella cheese
The chocolate.......
Weigh in Tuesday AM!!!! I have been trying to walk twice a day for a minimum
of 40-50 mins. I have not been good about using my free weights or doing my ab exercises, not good.
 
Thanks guys!! Well, got on the scale, no loss for the week. However, no gain either!!! I'll take it. I need to do my weights more!! Ab exercises too!!. Oh well, new week, new opportunities to stay in line!!
 
Not doing too well this week. It's not that I'm eating a zillion calories, or tons of junk....I'm just eating for no reason. Started stuffing about 15 gumdrops into my mouth at work when I got stressed. What's up with that?? I've had to alter my exercise this week due to work commitments, and this bizarre pain in my ribs. I really think my gallbladder is screaming at me, the pain is in my back/ribs on the right side. No nausea, no fever. Just feels like someone is boring a hole through my ribs. Oh well, this too shall pass. Enough of my whining, I just need to get it back together, keep my eye on my goal.
 
Thanks M2M!! I think I'm actually afraid I might succeed at this:eek: ! I have NEVER succeeded before, and I will this time. Six pounds or about 3kg to go,
that's it and I cross the goal line, and stay in the end zone for the rest of my life. No more running to/with food to cover up my feelings, fears, insecurities, and anger.
Consider me back together!!!!
 
Walked a total of 1hr and 40mins yesterday. Did one hour this AM. I really need to squeeze time in for my weights...and drink more water today!!
 
Why plan??

Well, so much for my lofty ideals yesterday:mad: . My son informed me when I arrived home from my walk that I had to take him to basketball practice.
Basketball practice in September???? Yes, he says. So we go to school at 6:30 AM, guess what...noone was there!! He insisted the coach told him to be there. Anyway, I did a couple errands on the way home, ended up doing nothing but errands ALL DAY!! Then had to drive 2.5 hours north to a State
DAR banquet (my husband is SAR state society president, so we were invited). OK OK OK, free food, but I tried to be good. Mixed salad, mashed potato, and stuffed haddock. I didn't know the haddock was stuffed when I chose it, or that it had sauce on it as well. It was that or prime rib. Didn't have any rolls, or dessert though:D . All in all, over my calorie limit, but not catastrophe. "Tomorrow will be another day".
