hmm, where is that diet?

I know no postings of the food journals. Well I have not been on plan for a while. I am still journalling, but I am emberassed by it. I have not been eating much. No I am not starving myself. I usually pride myself in trying to eat as much as possible and still be under my points. Well, I am not sure what happened, prayer maybe, my stomach shrunk.

No not the belly fat, but the actual stomach. I get full instantly and I am good. So I have been nibbling all day long, but my calories are very little. So I might have shredded wheat (minis) 1 serving 3 points. So I eat one here and there, but just one serving for the whole day. A little yogurt for 2 points. Then the sandwich with whitewheat bread 2 slices, 1 point with oscar meat 1 point 4 slices. So I might eat that until 3 pm, so I would be at 7 points. Then I might have a yogurt again before dinner, now I am at 9 points. Well, then I have 16 points for dinner. Well I am just not hungry. So I will have the meal and eat a bunch of vegetables. Opps, I might have 4 to 10 points left. Not good. But I feel alright. Could be stress.

Journal Day 6

Food Journal - Day 5

Subway is the Chicken Terriaky, no idea how to spell. No the misspelling that runs through out my blog is really typos. I have a hard time typing on a laptop keyboard compared to a desktop. Hey I got 3 kids, I don't feel like fixing them!

Food Journal - Day 3 &4

I hope you canmake this out. Day 3 was the day we went to the CHA expo in Orlando. I did well on it. I made a back up sandwhich, 2 slices white wheat (1 point) and 2 slices oscar myers sub meat pack from sams (1point) and mustard. A good fill for 2 points. So I had my coffee, forgot breakfast as I drove the 2 hours. Everyone wanted to eat McDonalds. I got a diet coke and pulled out my 2 point sandwich. NO SHAME IN LOW CALories. Had a 100 calorie snack pack in the expo. Then we went to earl of Sandwich in Downtown Disney. I ate theCobb salad and 1/2 soup. I have no idea the values on those and they were probably not the best choice, but I felt comfortable that they were a good choice.

Now this is why I do not use my extra 35 points each week. I know I will end up in a situation that I will not be able to calc th points. So I try to eat low for the other parts of the day and then know my 35will buffer anything I go over.

Food Journal - Day 2

Forget typing! What was I thinking! I know not as detailed as before!

So I did not get my points all used up, oops. I need to work on that. If you do not use all your points, day after day, your body will think that it is starving and will not let you lose weight. But you can have it happen here and there and ther shuld be no impact.

My Dinner was the hardest. I had left over Pot roast. And all the white fat around it. I calculated the points for the carrots, potatoes, and pot roast, beef, and then added points for the fat that I know was there. I did my best to clear the fat away.

Lemon aid: I make a gallon of Lemon aid with 2 cups of pure lemon juice and 1 cup of sugar substitute. I figure I have got to be getting a fruit serving somewhere in there. I am trying to avoid crystal light and soda.

I did drop 0.8 pounds since yesterday, but I am sure it is just water weight. Good Luck!
