Mike- I know cars and bikes are two totally different animals, but I do notice in my Honda when the temps are below say 50degrees my car literally leaps out of first into second, and I'm an automatic! Scares the begeezes out of me! I hope you dont have to replace your clutch so soon.

Welcome Behlor!!!
So I made it (not too well calorie wise) through a banquet and (pretty well) through a gourmet dinner but tonight is poker with the guys (I am an "honorary guy" there like Mike and Ron are "honorary women" on this thread, no offense, guys.) There are lots of chips, shots and beer involved in poker night...
Good luck with your clutch, Mike, cause tonight I'm an honorary guy and we care about stuff like that... Seriously, sorry to hear you're having problems (I'm such a girl haha.)
Apologies to all feminists including myself for above comments.

) Plan food -yes, yes, yes but went off plan, yes but what good did it do in the Island of Lost Food? went off plan (the restaurant didn't have the fish I wanted) but stayed "good" WENT OFF PLAN
2) < 1600 calories, 1180, 1663 1362 oh who knows? Do you know how many calories are in a mini cheesburger the size of your thumbnail? I think not. Who even knows how many I ate? 1360 could not tell because I WENT OFF PLAN and ate a billion chips and drank port
3) 6 glasses H2O min - no , 6 ? does wine count? IDK 6
4) stretch- yes, no yes,yes, yes no
5) some form of exercise, even at home 2x min -home execise and walk, no yes at home no at home - thanks, Donna, for that idea! Exercising anywhere, who knew? You did! no
6) pull self up by bootstraps - talked to therapist, "retail therapy" and saw friend, went to a concert with DH and had fun, got personal advice from famous well published writer, went to a banquet with many people there; went out to fabulous dinner with friends played poker, kicked butt and took names, won $20 and was smart enough to quit.
But I could not quit eating!!! Lost 5 pounds in total. But gained two back in chip weight!!! Not happy about that.
Mike, where was that hammer, smashing those chips?

Plan:
Breakfast:
low fat no lactose cheddar on Ezkiel English muffin
Lunch:
egg whites with no nitrite ham, organic mushrooms and onions
Dinner:
grilled salmon
local spinach in garlic and oil
Snacks:

My goal for next week might have to be STICK to plan which will be hard because:
a) Thanksgiving
b) child will be home; her friends will be here; food will be rampant
Already making excuses!!!!!!!!!!!

I'm here! So, totally threw in the towel on Friday and Saturday food and drink wise. I did go to the gym on Friday, though.
For last two days:
1.) Under 1400 calories/day - M: 1179, T: 1511, W: no idea, but a lot, Th: 2365, F: A lot, S: A lot
2.) Go to the gym x2 - T: Y, F: Y
3.) Walk to car after work M-F (unless it's majorly raining or something) - M: Y, T: Y, W: Y, Th: Y, F: Y
4.) 64 oz/day of water - M: Y, T: Y, W: N, Th: Y, F: N, S: N
5.) Start (and finish! Oh god...) ASTRO 550 proposal - M: started writing, but found a fundamental flaw in my idea and may have to go back to the drawing board, T: still floundering, although thought awfully hard about it, W: Reeeeaally need some inspiration, Th: Okay, think I'm on my way with this, F: Working, S: Working...closing in on it, although it's driving me crazy!

Keep up the hard work, Joanna! You're doing great! 
I have totally fallen off track by a mile with my goals and calories the past 2 days. I don't know what my problem is. Stress probably. It's so bad I haven't even bothered trying to log it. Let's just say Colby Cheez-Its were a food group and I ate a long-ago favorite today...cream cheese jalapeno poppers. Oh, and about a million little granola bars. Soooooo bad. I was feeling kind of unhappy, and then I ate all the wrong things and now I feel unhappy about that. You know how that vicious cycle goes. Will start again in the morning.
