Day 6/P5 40 pounds!!!
Today I passed 40 pounds. It's been almost 3 years since I last weighed this and with one more pound i will equal the low point of my last at all successful try. That one got derailed when my cat unexpectedly died and I turned to comfort foods......I now accept that the food will not make any bad things better and I hope that I have some control of the emotional eating. I rewarded myself for this milestone which i consider a big one by eating on program and thinking about buying a glider. I'll see how Karen likes hers but i need a non-impact cardio other than my bike. My right knee with the torn meniscus and messed up ligament has been aching all day....glad its rest day and if it's not better I will do ST tomorrow and rest it a bit longer. I think the walk/jog is out for good, i may be able to walk a bit when it calms down but i will go back to biking first.
Today I did day 5 fp. Went ahead and got the pizza from the local Italian rest so the crust was so much better. Now I have to look at left overs in the ref. I did like today with egg and wholewheat eng muffin. I have been getting hungry after lunch so may have to eat dinner earlier or if there is salad my have to eat part earlier. I want to try staying as close to the layout as i can for another week before i move some of the food around a bit...will try to keep the day the same but may move some salad to lunch and decrease the amount at dinner....or may add a salad to lunch without any dressing to bulk it up a bit....but this was more salad at dinner than i really wanted but i was so hungry that i inhaled the 1st half which i don't like to do.
Fish is going to a problem until i can shop in the city. I have now been to all 3 stores in town, one only had breaded fish, and the other 2 have van camps pkg with sauce and seasoning....i decided to go with the blackened seasoning which had a reasonable cal count so i can do one of those days. Also i made sp sauce last week but decided to just buy some....the best with no junk on the list was $9 a bottle so decided on a brand I've had before for $2. I drove my spouse crazy looking at 20 different jars and then after deciding which one i wanted looked at the price and changed my mind......I felt like consumers reports...this is a best buy and will hopefully taste fine. Picked up some sweet potatoes and more tuna and salad stuff.
Looking forward to seeing how everyone did.....group success is a blast.

Day 4/P5 Not bad
Today on day4 i ate day 9. It was interesting....it didn't say how much cottage cheese so i picked 1/2 cup and turned it into "mock rice pudding". I weigh and measure most anything so i took a handful of nuts..weight 21/2 oz...put most back and ate 1 oz. Dinner was great and very filling. I saved my butter from bk for my potato. I realized i hadn't had a pl baked pot since ...? I gen go with sweet pot these days and will prob use them most of the time but decided to enjoy the plain one tonight. The almond milk did not give me the GI problems but did affect my sugar so it will have to be used in limited amounts...but i did enjoy the taste of it. I will check out other brands to see what their carb/cal amts are. I could not do the tricep dips...i doubt i will be able to but will cont to try and may add atricep move i saw on the how to site while seeing how these were done. Love the extra support...its fun. Back to work tomorrow and may do either day2 or 5 tomorrow.

Day 3/P5 Getting back on the horse
OK yesterday was a bad day for me. I was trying to get everything done at work and get some fresh stuff that i would need as we were supposed to get snowbound again. This resulted in my just grabbing something for a quick lunch while i was shopping. I am not saying what i ate but i got home from work and just kicked my arse around the house for a bit and decided what kind of fool was i trying to be. I've done great since starting in Oct why do i want to go backwards now? The snow was late ...it was supposed to start at 5pm but was stalled so when Ron got home i asked him to go shopping with me and he did. i made a quick list from the diet sheets and off we went. I rescued the day with salad and shrimp but between work, shopping and the cold all my joints were hurting and ex was not in the cards.
Today i went over the food pages, called my doctor who was also home due to the snow( we did get about 4-5 inches, but not the 10+....Kansas got that) and we went over what I can have what i can try to have and what is a definite no no. Just so you all know...Master Allan knows about this and I will send him another Email with some of what she said. Also I decided that i must track my cal and post them again along with fluids and exercise to keep me on track. I am not going to post my food as i don't want to confuse anyone else if they happen to see something that doesn't look right.
I decided to go with day 3 today and I am in the group of tuna lovers....I really enjoyed my lunch, supper not so much. I had some smart pasta...extra calcium and fiber....and decided to try it tonight neither my husband or I liked it, his ended up in the trash as did part of mine and the rest of the box. Back to healthy recipe, regular or whole wheat....oh well it was a good idea. I liked the salad combo but then again i like cabbage. I may make some of my sweet vinegar slaw and see how that works in the salad for an option.
What are you doing for a snack type cracker????? Also I'm planning on day 9 for tomorrow and how much cottage cheese. I think i may mix my fruit with it and use some mini rice crackers.
I have tried the str ex today done my walking and we're going to watch last nights biggest loser soon and i will bike to part of it
Keep up the good job challengers!!!
