7 Day Motivational Thread starting May 20 - Stay Strong!

Thanks Carolyn, I made it from kernals so it wasn't as bad as making instant microwave popcorn, but it still added a bit to the calorie count. I used to have an air popper but these days I either have to use the microwave or use kernals, neither being extremely healthy
Today I've ruined my entire week, my girlfriend had us eat take out twice today, and once I log it I think it might just reach the 4000 mark And to top it off I haven't even done any exercise yet, I think I might need to do some laps around the park late at night

Ian - there are some ok versions of Lite microwave popcorn, but I think making it from kernels is better because then you can use a good oil and control what goes on it. 4000 calories today! Oh, dear. Well, that's the past. Start fresh from here. When I have a day like that, I try to determine the situational and internal factors that led to my eating too much and think about how to deal with a similar situation in the future. Does your girlfriend know you're trying to lose weight?

popcorn
When I crave popcorn I do a light spray of 'Pam' inside a brown paper lunch bag, cover about 3/4 of the bottom of bag with popcorn (I like Orvilles) then put a couple folds at the top and microwave for 1:50. Comes out great and pretty much oil free :-) Season as you like!

Hope, good luck with your treatment plan!

Tuesday report
Nice to see you back Jezzie!
Rather humid here the past couple of days(about 90) and our A/C isn't working so I haven't exercised.
I'm under on carbs. Had porkchop for dinner and veggies. Had snack later.
I kind of lost count on water but it was probably up to about 8.
