Weight-Loss
I need the food log. This entire month has been poor logging, excellent nutrition for a few days, or I go nuts on bad choices. Exercise a few days or not at all. Sleep has been a big problem.

Saturday:
quaker blue berry muffin. poor choice. packed one for my son's wrestling meet and ate one myself.
water
coffee 1 cup
banana
taco salad at home, nice salad, bit of beef/cheese


Went out with friends for yearly party including my bday fun. Not good, but not the norm.

a few lite beers
beef/brocholli with 1/2 cup of rice

Right, here's my food log for today. It's bad, but on weekends, I eat what I want, when I want.

2 sesame bagels with butter, and 1 half with peanut butter
1 cup of coffee with milk & sweeteners
3 cups of 3-in-1 coffee
5 small chocolate covered marzipan hearts (got them for next to nothing at a Christmas leftover sale at Aldi, and I loooooove marzipan!!)
200 gr of salted caramel covered nuts
small portion of chicken breast in creamy white wine sauce with pasta
3 glasses of Pepsi Max
2 glasses of water
1 cup of Options low calorie hot chocolate
2 blueberry muffins
half a bag of peanut puffs

I told you it was bad.
 
Sunday food (up early and ravenous after doing a lot of dancing Saturday ) - Sunday will be much more restful

500g Total 0% yoghurt
2 tins apricots
3 bananas
1 pear
sugar free butterscotch
3 *Shape 0% yoghurt
roast turkey, boiled veg - potato, cauliflower, broccoli, onion, carrot, gravy
bite of turkey skin - limited to one bite - didnt want to feel deprived but more had been served so I cut off one bite and gave the rest away. Would not have served it for myself but didnt want to do without it entirely once I had it...
diet cola

Sunday's food:

Got a late start and will be eating light today to save calorie space for tonight. We may be ordering pizza for the Pats game. We'll see!

Breakfast/Lunch: English muffin with peanut butter

Drink: Dunkin Donuts Strawberry Coolatta (med)

Dinner: Fried chicken tenders and French fries (THIS is why I had a light day of eating. Thought for sure we were going for pizza, but the plans changed).

Drink: 1.5 liters water

Exercise: 30 minute workout. Jillian Michaels 30DS

The work week will have much better food intake! :)

I must admit that I am having a lazy exercise day today... This is what comes of staying up late salsa dancing to the small hours... We went out for a short walk this afternoon to try to get my pedometer up to 15,000 steps - but to be honest I had a heck of a head start on that with the dancing done after midnight last night since my pedometer resets at midnight.

As anyone that looks at my food log above will see - my food thus far as being healthy but a bit plentiful. I've been in a hungry mood.

Omega that dancing would be so much fun.

Chef - It is great that you had the data for Saturday. I think that I always eat a lot - too much... I would actually be quite pleased if I had the odd day of not eating much... Believe it or not - I am actually eating less fruit than I have been recently because of admitting it on the food log...

Lisa - I love to dance. The party on Saturday night was brilliant... Tons of dancing - all sorts of dancing - salsa, cha cha, bachata, kizomba, zumba lineups and stuff that we invented for fun.

Dancing is very much my main form of exercise.

I have 1 hr light aerobics class today and 2 * 1 hr hardcore zumba this afternoon with Xris. He is my dance teacher and he also happens to be a personal trainer who does what many consider to be the most intense zumba classes in my area... We sample other teachers styles at zumbathons and similar events - and chat to people that go to other classes. He says that he makes the classes as intense as he knows how... Monday's two hours with Xris is always demanding - totally exhausting and so much fun all at the same time...

Hi girls (and guys!),
I'm catching up from the weekend. Please tell me if I have this right...
1) start with last Friday or Saturday's weight
2) track exercise minutes for the week and go for 300
3) log food - Do I just need to tell yes/no whether I logged each day or do I need to copy my log into the thread here?

Thanks hons!
 
Sunday's food log:

Blueberry muffins
2 cheese sandwiches
small marzipan hearts
takeaway: Egg fried rice and cheesy tika massala
small Ben & Jerries cookie dough
1 pint of water
3 pints of pepsi max
3 3-in-1 coffees

Felt awful on Sunday. Loads of pretty big stuff going on in my life right now, decisions to make etc. Not a good day yesterday. Cheat day as well, so main reason for eating was 'because I can'.

Monday:

Breakfast:
4 slices wheatgerm bread
2 slices wafer thin roast chicken
1 laughing cow light cheese triangle
1 slice WW mature cheese

Lunch:
3 slices of wheatgerm bread
1 slice WW mature cheese
4 slices wafer thin roast chicken
1/2 tsp peanut butter

Dinner
mini-kievs & potato gratin

Drinks:
2 cups of 3-in-1 coffee
1 cup regular coffee
6 pints of water with small amount of apple squash
2 litres still water

Ended up just under 1500 kcal. Works for me.

Felt better today. Sorted a few things out. Still kind of bouncing up and down. Nothing I would consider to be naughty food.

Exercise: 45 minutes treadmill

Click to expand...

1) - yes
2) - yes
3) log food in this thread for each day
plus look out for the naughty things on the list - the things like cake and biscuits, pastries, french fries, chips, sugary sweets, pizza, alcohol - the things that you know you would be better off avoiding but we all have difficulty resisting - and if you have any of them - analyse your mood and the reason why you ate it... There is no need to explain your moods as you may think of that as being private... For instance - on Saturday my food was far from perfect - but the only real problem food was the glass of champagne that I had as I got to a party - and that was peer pressure more than anything...
 
MONDAY
1/20

Breakfast
Scrambled Eggs
Turkey Bacon
Water

Lunch
Nothing - I had a late breakfast

Dinner
Crustless Pizza Bake - sausage, mushrooms, green peppers, onions, red pepper 'pizza sauce,' and cheese
Cherry Coke Zero

Snack
Hard Cooked Egg
Beef Stick

EXERCISE
60 minutes - Treadmill
25 minutes - Pilates
