Michelle's sprint back on track

Today was a tough day for me. Every time i get near the 300lb mark, I start to self sabotage, and today was one of those struggle...biiiig time

Breakfast: skinny vanilla latte
2 eggs cooked in pam, 2 pieces ww toast
1 liter of water

Lunch: KFC with gravy and a diet pepsi

Dinner: Chinese food... OMG
3 cups water

Not good choices, but its good to admit to people when im having a crappy day, considering I would usually hide my binging behavior.
So, im drinking lots of H20 tonight and tomorrow is a new day.

I have been trying to get myself back on track for the last couple days and im feeling pretty good about some of the choices i have made
Yesterday -
Breakfast - scrambled egg whites with veggies on a whole wheat bagel.
Lunch - I was at work and we use a wheelchair van that broke down, so we pushed our individuals in their wheelchairs into town so they could have lunch out. I had a salad with chicken, dressing on the side, which i did not use much of and I had a water and a diet coke.
We then had to push them up a huge hill to get them home. That was tough, but i felt so proud of myself for doing it.

Snack - apple with peanut butter

Dinner - vegetarian thin crust pizza (frozen) shared with my bf. (380 cals) and a salad with non fat dressing

Snack 1/3 cup nuts
Drank 3 liters of water

TODAY:
Breakfast: banana, scone, coffee

Lunch: chicken noodle with one egg added to the broth (kinda like egg drop soup)

Snack: 2 choc chip cookies

Dinner: beef and vegetable stir fry on rice (3/4 cup rice)
water , 1/2 a real coke (oops) One of the guys i support drank the rest of it... prob best...lol

Snack: orange, piece of cheese (regular)

Today I made a date with my friend to go to the gym on Sunday. We both are struggling to commit to ourselves to do what it takes to lose weight. I don't know why i self destruct so easily, but I am trying to work through it. We will be each others accountability partners.

Today:
Breakfast: banana and yogurt
Lunch: Montreal smoked beef on rye with a few fries and lots of mustard
Diet coke and 500mls water
Dinner: Pork tenderloin, spaghetti squash, oven roasted potatoes sprayed with pam and spiced up
Drank 1 liter of water this evening
Diet gingerale
 
It's ok to have problems and everyone backslides from time to time. ask cerella she's known me the year I've been here as I've struggled to lose and regain the same 10 lbs on my road to actually getting past that barrier and into more weightloss.

Best of luck at the gym and I think I'm going to become a regular at your journal.

Well guys, Ive been doing the same thing, LOL...I finally dropped 20 and then put them all back on when I switched jobs...loosing weight is hard work...unfortunately it is easy to gain but not so easy to take off.
 
hi michelle, if we didnt struggle...we wouldnt be here...i think that being honest with ourselves is really important..so its great that you are doing that. i know that i can think i did really good one day but then when i look back its like ..oooooh ya, that couldnt have been good.

keep moving forward and never give up.............!!!!

Thanks so much Karebare, you are sooooooooo right, Thats why i keep a journal, because I am honest in there about what food i eat, good or bad, and it really makes me see exactly where and when my issues affect my ultimate goal of health.
 
So this morning i got up early and dragged my butt into my weight watcher's meeting (sooooo tired) I was worried because ive made some poor choices, and part of me wanted to not go. However, i promised myself, whether it was recording my diet in my journal or weighing in, I would do it now matter what.
Good news was that I lost 1 pound. Im slowly inching my way towards 300 and soon will be in the 200's. I don't remember the last time i saw that number, so its all good

Breakfast: Yogurt, apple slices and an egg

Lunch: Chicken strips and Caesar salad, 3 slices pizza bread (shared appetizer) and apple pie pizza, (shared with a friend) 2 large glasses of water and 1 tea with sweetener. Yes... not the best choices, but was very enjoyable..lol

Snack:pear with Natural peanut butter, 1 liter of water

Dinner: Steak, tossed salad (non fat dressing) small baked potato with seasoned plain yogurt and chives (totally yummy)
Lots of water and one coffee

Tomorrow my friend Steph and I are going to the gym. Im going to add exercise to my health regime... (been avoiding that part) lol

I was originally really looking forward to sleeping in on Thursday morning, but I think im going to head to bed soon so that I can get up at a good time, have breakfast and I will go for walk around my neighborhood before i head to work. Im having way more energy than usual and am feeling really good, so I want to keep up this work.
Michelle
 
Well, so much for sleeping in Thursday, I ended up at the hospital with my Dad. He is very sick, and it took everything in my power to not eat like a crazy woman when i felt the stress of having a sick parent. I've talked to a lot of friends over the past little while, to keep myself in a healthy place.
