Thank you! I did ok today. I ate ok, not great but I did alright. And I turned down cake at my office. Plus DH and I went for a nice 30 min. walk. It wasn't an intense walk but it's a start.

Tomorrow night I'm going to do some arm weights.

yeah it's hard to go all out on your cheat day and feel good the next day- it's amazing how it weighs you down.



So true. I had a big chocolate cookie and a cappucino yesterday (it wasn't my cheat day, by the way Chat Icon Chat Icon ) and I felt so crappy afterward.

Trying to get back on the wagon, but it's so hard to get started...been eating well pretty much throughout the day (except for the cookie & capp!) but I haven't been planning well enough to eat 5 or 6 times during the day, so I'm only having breakfast, lunch and dinner.

Excellent start! Remember the goal for each day is to not strive for perfection but rather strive for progress! Keep it up!

I am so proud of all of us- we are doing so well!!!

This morning I exercised again- that's 2 days in a row.

Tonight I'll probably do my leg exercises and Abs....

Did you go to the gym again this morning to make it three days in a row?

I went this morning...I'm not feeling great though, was just an ok workout.
My scale went up a little...I think that is what is bumming me out.

my allergies were kicking my butt this morning.

When I did BFL the first time I did a workout every free day and gave myself off on Fridays. I know that's not what he suggests. But I liked working out on the day that I ate whatever I wanted. It helped me a lot.

mmm just learned of a nice lunch item

Whole wheat tortilla, two tbs pizza sauce, one tbs low fat mozarella cheese...put in oven for 7 mintes (just enough to heat it up and melt the cheese)
Not bad I tell you.

Anyway, back on the "horse" tomorrow...Chat Icon

Do you think nuts and fruit are a good snack? I have a hard time finding proteins that aren't meat. I don't really care for cottage cheese, unfortunately.

You can do a piece of low-fat cheese with an apple...

or some tuna and wasa crackers.

Nuts are ok if you have them like once a week but don't make it your everyday snack.

I had wanted to start everything back up again this week but we were away this weekend and didn't get to go food shopping. So I didn't get to eat that great today. But I'm going food shopping tomorrow during lunch. I need to get my water in.

I did a brief arm workout tonight. I need to ease myself back into the workouts. I don't need to pull anything and be out for weeks.

How did everyone else do today?

What do you guys eat for breakfast each day? I really don't care too much for eggs and I can't do cottage cheese. So I'm having a hard time getting protein in. I'm going to pick up some protein powder to put in my oatmeal but I don't want to do that everyday.

Any suggestions?

Jenn- The only think I eat every morning is a cup of yogurt. Then two hours later I eat a body for life bar (ok its actually a zone bar because I think they taste better and the nutritional value is about the same)
That usually gets me through the morning.
