Losing While I Can and Must (comment away!)

[CJK]

So glad to hear you're slowly getting back to "normal" living! You've done so well. I agree with the others, your food sounds so yummy! Don't worry about your lunch with your friend. Had that been me, I would've had fries and NOT shared the dessert! Good job on getting that walk in, and listening to what your body can handle. Have a great weekend!

Thursday, 2/8

Usual breakfast (fiber one, soy milk, banana)

Lunch: Bowl of broc. cheddar soup, french bread and salad w/ balsamic on the side

Dinner: Leftover chicken santa fe (about 1.5 cups) and 2 small tortillas

Snacks: 3/4 c. trail mix, part of a bag of fruit gummies (the ones w/ real fruit juice)

I went to the mall w/ a friend and walked for about 45 minutes. I was pretty sore after, but it felt good to get around!

Lunch: ACK! Went out with a friend I hadn't seen in a while, and let myself go with a patty melt and a salad. If that wasn't enough, we split some lemon merangue pie. Not my finest moment!

At least you split the lemon merangue
I would have had it all to myself!!

Hope you have a great weekend

Glad things are going well, Bek!

You did GREAT at the steakhouse - I would have done MUCH worse!

The recipe sounds very yummy - I may have to give it a try.

Hope you're having a good weekend!

Well, Sunday was a FUN DAY!

breakfast: fiber one, soy milk, banana

lunch: cheeseburger and fries (eek!)

dinner: out with friends, salad w/vinagrette, gnocchi w/ brown butter and butternut squash and apple cobbler (not a huge portion, but still a good size) w/ vanilla ice cream.

It was just one of those days LOL!

I did weigh myself yesterday and I'm right at the same, so luckily my caloric intake v.s output is balancing out! We had a constant stream of visitors the last few days so that certainly makes it harder to eat right. It'll be much quieter this week, so lean cuisines, here I come!

 

[toystoryduo]

Sounds like you are doing great, Bekki! Keep up the good work and have a great week ahead!

 

[traceycooper]

Well done on maintaining Bekki
Hope you enjoyed the burger & apple cobbler
