- I've been trying not to snack at night, but we get food delivery every other week by a place called Schwan's and they have more "gourmet like" foods. I decided to try some low fat strawberry shortcake ice cream sandwiches this time around and couldn't resist trying one. Not bad at only 150 calories and pretty tasty too! :)

Well so far, my choices are better than last week, in choices and quantities. But definitely deficient in veggies. Not nearly enough water, has been below zero and when its so cold I don't drink enough. Need to work on that tomorrow. I did go through the drive through tonight after my son's wrestling meet and got him and my dd a reg cheese burger and fries. I did not get anything. That was a big deal for the day. I need to improve meal planning and figure out why veggies haven't been on the menu.
 
Lisa - I'm not eating enough veg either... I'm having too much fruit - especially bananas...

I have some excellent news! Loch is joining this challenge this Saturday at the start of the second week.

She is joining the purple team. :party:

She will be allocated average points earned by other team members for the first week - because she has had no opportunity to earn points this week.
 
Hey! I just want to say that I'm super stoked to join the party. I felt a little scared about joining because the last time I joined a challenge on the forum, I fell so hard off the wagon, I gained 40lb and never came back.|

I'm here now, though, and I don't want to let anyone down - especially myself!

I have a treadmill for the first time and I LOVE it. Not only that, but I walk home every day from work, so I'm defo gonna get max exercise points!

Just cuz I'm so gung-ho I'm gonna join the thread in logging my day, and tomorrow :).

Food
2 Pieces of toast with Cheese Whiz
Small bag of chips
Cantaloupe
Yogurt Tube
Raspberry Cereal Bar
Half a can of Red Bull - I so need to quit this stuff
2 Mini Pizza w/ fries (sounds unhealthy, but it's only 600 calories!)

That'll clock me in at 1380, which is way under what I usually have, but I actually didn't feel terribly hungry at work today. I'll probably snack on some veggies before I go to bed. :)

So excited! Can you tell?
 
Loch - you are not falling off any wagon this time round...

Friday, yay, payday. Too bad it all goes toward bills. Well, groceries too.

Been feeling grumpy yesterday and today. I don't know what happened. I was in a great mood before yesterday. I've been snappy at my boyfriend and controlling...I need to stop that. I think I need a little alone time (we live together with his 2 kids, sometimes I get so exhausted by being around people too long). He plans on taking the kids out to Humpty's for kid's eat free. Usually I would go with him, but I think the alone time will be just as fun. :) I don't need that bad food.

Food
Toast w/ cheese whiz
Small bag of chips
Cereal bar
Carrots
Yogurt tube x2

Exercise
I plan on walking home for 20 min and then getting on the tredmil for an hour. I want to make it a routine of using the tredmil an hour a day so that I can work back up to 2 hours a day. Once it gets nice out I'm going to start doing my long walks across the city :).

Hope everyone has a good friday and sticks to their goals!
