Hey Tori, how is the Jassi Cat??
Robin, thanks for the link. I may have to try that parfait. It reminds me of the one from Panera, except they use granola (come to think of it, that picture in your link looks more like granola than oats). Regardless, yum.
Today's report:
1. Calories 1300 or fewer. 1279
2. Exercise 5 days or more.
3. 64 oz. fluids. Yes
4. Take all vitamins and supplements. Yes
5. Sleep 7 hours per night, at least. Nope-6
6. Eat clean. Yes
7. Eat at least 4 fruits/veggies per day. Yes-4
8. Drive with the boy. Yes

Pretty good day here. I was ravenous today, unfortunately, which makes it hard 'cause all you can think about is all the food you wish you could be eating. But, I've ended up around 1320 calories, so I did fine.
I'm watching the Biggest Loser, which I haven't done since like, season 2 or 3. It's pretty inspiring, despite not really being realistic.

It's been a while since I replied with a song, you get the first one of 2013!!
I was hungry today too but I know why poor planning. All was good until supper, I was far from home, did not eat enough and then went to the gym hungry. And left the gym very hungry. And then picked up my son who wanted to go through the Tim Horton's drive through (he's eating 3000 cals per day to GAIN weight) and I thought oh well I will have a yogourt. Guess what no yogourt. I could have really blew it then, lots of bad choices at Tim's but I got a small decaf coffee and nursed it til I could get home and make some toast.
Learned my lesson about going to the gym hungry!! Total cals for the day 1300 whew! Close call.
Mike, hope your back is feeling better.

Lisa, Tim Horton's is THE coffee and donut shop, one every few blocks. They sell the most amazing carbs: sandwiches, bagels and donuts and rolls of every flavor. Everything you can picture leaking with sugar. Everybody goes there, the line ups are huge. I clearly have to stay away from there...

Mike, thanks for the song!
Cassie, I agree with Robin...great start!
1. Take meds 2x day
yes
2. Log everything
yes
3. Plan meals day before so I have a plan ready to go when I wake up
no (I forgot last night, but I did it immediately when I logged on this morning before I ate anything and ruined my day.)
I woke up at about 3a.m. and found myself foraging through the fridge because I was starving. I thought, "3 more hours until I can eat breakfast???!!! I can't make it!" I managed to snap myself out of it and made myself go back to bed. The hunger passed because when I woke up at the right time, I didn't feel that hungry at all. So glad I was able to get past the urge and not hit the snack cupboard!

When I wake up @ 3 I'm always dehydrated. Drink more water!
