Accountability thread!

(If you want) post your food and exercise for the day. Include the date. We can hold each other accountable I know I eat better when I see all the crud I'm eating in writing! LOL

3/3/8

Breakfast: instant oatmeal

Lunch: Progresso 100 calorie per serving soup

Snack: Orville 100 calorie bag popcorn made with fat free butter, grapes

Dinner: We're having chili. I'm just going to portion mine out and just have a cup and not add cheese to mine

I'm trying to stay around 1300-1500 calories, so I'm way under and will probably end up snacking on some fruit or carrot sticks also, lol

I'm trying to drink 64 oz. water a day. I'm 3/4 of the way there already and it's only 3:30!

Exercise: I did my Kathy Ireland Workout video. It's an hour an half and includes aerobics, total body conditioning and lower body and abs

Then I did my own ab workout that I made up awhile back.

Good idea Gwen!

This morning I ate a half an onion bagel with light cream cheese, and a plum.

Then I ate a cucumber sandwich on low cal bread, with light mayonnaise and about 5 mini ranch rice cakes.

For dinner, I made Spanish chicken with onions and potatoes in a tomato sauce in the slow cooker. I had 1 chicken leg, 1/2 cup french style canned green beans, half a medium potato and about 1/4 cup of the home made Spanish rice left overs from last night.

If I crave a sweet later, I will probably have a cereal bar or a piece of fruit.

Water, water and more water! I wish we hadn't just run out of milk, I have to go get some...

For exercise I did my half an hour buns DVD http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dNNbe-2wRDk
And my 40+ minutes yoga DVD http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C4NyZ...eature=related

Tomorrow I will be walking my butt off as well

Oops! I forgot my strips of green pepper, carrot and about 1 tbsp vegetable dip mmmmm

Great idea!!! Here goes:

Breakfast: Special K cereal with fat free milk & 1 cup coffee.

Lunch: Special K cereal with fat free milk.

Dinner: Grilled salmon (on the George Forman, wish I'd baked it with onions), steamed fresh asparagus, and salad with fat free Caesar dressing.

Sweet snack: 3 strawberries with about 3 tablespoons of fat free whipped cream. (How do they make fat free whipped cream with real cream when cream is fat??)

I'm trying to drink lots of water. I didn't keep track of it, but I've had quite a bit.

Good job guys!

I'm not sure about the whipped cream thing. How DO they do that? lol

I ended up having light yogart and a pear as well.

Question though. I added all this up, and I'm only at 990 calories. That's SO not good! But I'm SO full! I can't force myself to eat another 300 calories =P

I had a sugar free jello a little bit ago. I don't know why, I'm not hungry, just wanted to eat something.

Okay, drinking more water now!! Glub, glub.

I'll probably have to get up and pee during the night. lol

I actually really like sugar free jello! Didn't think I would, but it's rather tasty! LOL

(unbeknownst to pearl, she has created a monster in giving me the brilliant idea of taking pictures of what I cook lol)
my specialty meatloaf, mashed white potatoes with the skins left on and garlic (horseradish added to the other half's portion as well, BLEH!) finished with a sprinkle of fresh gound black pepper, french style green beans and a basic side salad of lettuce, tomato, cucumber with 1 tsp lite Caesar dressing.
8 oz diet cherry 7-up

Later on I'll snack on 3/4 cup chocolate delight Special K and 4 oz milk.

Exercise... I plan on doing one of the four DVDs, and walking across "town" with Owen (since it's his turn) to check on grandmom and the new puppy of the family, Gracie

I've been stressed and ate a 2 pound bad of M&M's in the last 2 days - not to mention half a box of Thin Mints. (IS THAT BAD?)

[pope1982]

You guys are killing me!

[pearl]

Just water today so far.

[pope1982]

lol, in all seriousness pearl and dobie, if you are serious in watching what you eat, it is okay and even encouraged to indulge sometimes.

Key is managing your calories, portioning and knowing when to say when
Besides, it's almost better when you get to build it up and look forward to stuff like that because it gets taken for granted when it is meant to be an occasional treat.
