Preplanning

Monday, February 26th 2007

I did much better today. I think the key was preplanning my meals. I was resistant to do this because when I've tried that in the past, I felt so deprived. But with this program I can plan some treats in and make sure I have room for them and not feel so deprived. I went shopping today and bought some sugar free foods. I'm going to see how that goes for me, I just don't want to eat too much artificial sweetner. But I'm hoping I will feel more satisfied and not crave more.

Missing targets

Saturday, February 24th 2007

I keep going over my calorie targets. It's so frustrating. Yesterday I did really well until I had a bunch of honey roasted peanuts. Had too many-those are addicting. It's that sugar again. I need to stay away from it or only have it in controlled portions. Today I had cookies at my MIL's and then when I got home the boys had made popcorn-the fattening kind with tons of oil and butter. I had too much of that because I was really hungry. I tried so hard to do well the rest of the day and ...

Yea! No candy day!

Thursday, February 22nd 2007

Alright! I did it! Day 1 of my no candy campaign went well. Went to my mother in laws and did not grab a mini snickers or the peanut butter cookies she made for us. Also told her we don't need them at home because Collin and Chris won't eat them and guess who would eat them all. And those little bugars are at least 5 grams of fat per cookie!
One thing I did have trouble with today-I was hungry. I didn't make dinner tonight since I had school. I ate a protein bar on the way and had an ap...

One last hurrah?

Wednesday, February 21st 2007

I have decided to give up sugar since it is so addictive for me. I have some and it is never enough. I just crave more and more and more. So I'm starting with candy since that is most troublesome for me. Starting tomorrow, candy does not exist for me anymore. So today, to get ready for that, did I throw out the remaining candy in my house? No, of course not. I ate all of it. All of it! :( For heaven's sake. It's like 2,000 calories from the candy alone. Not going to log that one. Jus...

Being Honest

Tuesday, February 20th 2007

After our Mops meeting today, I stopped with my kids to get my son some popcorn :); He hardly ate any of it. Guess who had a whole bunch? A 650 calorie caramel corn binge. I have done my best to salvage the day. I did my workout and that helped. Workout felt great. There are a few things from brunch that I don't know how to log. I just can't figure out how to figure it. So there are some blanks. And then tonight I had some jelly beans and I'm pretty sure I had more that one serving like ...
