Terri that sounds like such a rough day! OMG! The only possible good thing is that when you're really stressed sometimes it makes you more productive than you ever thought you could be!?! Maybe your super-human powers will come out today?

Thanks to you ALL for of the compliments. It's certainly not as dramatic as others, but it's about a 28lb diff. Almeeker, it's funny that I look like you SIL!!

Cassie CONGRATS on the one year of fitday!!!!!!!! I'm so happy you are here with us! Keep it up, as you know you can!

And yes, I will be sure to post some wedding photos--I hope to still be on fitday at that time! I haven't done anything to plan so I don't know when this wedding will happen?! Maybe in year or a yr and a half?

Quinn, keep eating mindfully and hopefully the weight will come off. Weekends are super tough!! Maybe we should get rid of them?! haha. We'd be thin but lame?!

Mike, "macros"? Sorry, LOL--I don't know what that means.

behaze, back then I wasn't counting calories so I don't know if I were deficient. I didn't follow the P90X nutrition guide but I did clean up my eating. I wasn't in the same mindset with nutrition as I am know. If I would have followed it I probably would have had better results.


Stacey, You get back to 140. Just keep your head up and believe that you can do it.

Mern, Macros is your macro-nutrients (your pie chart)

gotta run for now.

Busy morning again--will have to try to catch up with the posts later.

But first some accountability:

My Monday achievements:

Calorie limit 1600, actual 1147
Carbs less fiber limit 25g, actual 17.6g
Protein target 120g, actual 125.7g
Omega-3 from Naturally More peanut butter
Limit Sugar free candy to one piece per day, actual none
Limit low carb soft tacos to 3 per week, actual none

Water goal 64 oz., actual 76

Exercise: 1.3 miles non-stop walking at the park.

Oh, thanks for the clarification, Mike. I was sort of on the right track, thinking you meant the big picture of how the nutrients fit in with my diet.

Remember, friends, I'm a pre-diabetic managing my blood sugar without meds and my doctor approves of this for me. Go with what your doc recommends for YOU.

So my macros were:

For my whole day yesterday including the flaxmeal peanut butter pancake, my 1147 calories consisted of 44% fat, 45% Protein, 12% Carbs

For the 300 calorie flaxmeal peanut butter pancake alone, as previously posted, it was 65% fat, 28% protein, 7% Carbs--but most of that was really good fat from the peanut butter and flax.

Hello Again everyone I typed out a huge post last night, and submitted it and apparently it didn't show up - Ugh!


Nonetheless, I am back for good I hope - I really don't care much for this post one week, and disappear the next! Ha ha. I worked almost 60 hours last week, and commute a total of about 3 hours per day, so needless to say I wasn't home very much to post! I am trying to make it one of my goals to post here each day regardless, even if my post is small


From the looks of everyone's posts it seems like the weekend was a doozy for some? I did pretty well, trying to limit the amount that I eat out. A lot of times eating out is typically done on the weekend, so one of my goals now is to limit that!


My good news is that I am down again, 208.4lbs for this week, so I believe that's almost a total of 5lbs. now Not sure I'll make my mini goal of 200 by April 1st, BUT I'll be really close if I don't totally make it!


Here are my goals for this week (3/14 - 3/20):


Weight Goals
1. Consume 1300-1600 calories Mon-Fri, and 2000 or less Sat & Sun
2. Drink 100oz. of water
3. Complete all my required workouts (Sun, Tues, Thurs, and Fri)
4. Log everything into FitDay (Haven't been doing this consistently)
5. Limit Eating out of any kind (even if it's something small) to two times per week MAX.
6. Continue to limit myself to 1 Diet Coke per day


Personal Goals
1. Read at least 15-20 minutes out of my library books
2. Vacuum the entire house
3. Work on the Bathroom Tile (Still is not complete )
4. Send my friend an email regarding wedding jewelry (she's going to make it for me)

Sorry to butt in, Jen, but if you have the reply or compose window open "too long" (I'm not sure what the actual time limit is) the forum software will "time out" and your response will not post, nor will you generally be able to get it back.

If I'm composing a longish message and/or get distracted and have the window open longer than usual I'll do a quick "copy" of the text, close the window and reopen it prior to posting. That way you'll never lose your post.

Regards,
Michael

Looks like I added an extra day to my weekend. I just realized that today is, in fact Tuesday, not Monday. Lol oh well, I guess thats what happens when you're unemployed sometimes.

It looks like this was the weekend of birthdays. I had two to go to myself. I did pretty well last week with diet, but not exercise. And I did well on the weekend with exercise, but not diet. I need to be able to put these two together and then maybe I will see those numbers drop. I did have a small gain this week and it hurts pretty bad, but its not gonna push me down.

Fitness goals this week..
1. MORE EXERCISE. Gym 3 days a week (already went yesterday) and walking everyday.
2. Drink a gallon of water per day.
3. Keep on track with eating healthy. No breads, pasta, or sweets.

Non fitness goals..
1. Buy water bottle to take with me EVERYWHERE.
2. Keep house neat.
3. The dreaded pile of laundry. (Its not so much doing it as it is putting it away... hence why my socks never match)
4. Visit my dad at least 3 times this week. Also set up a family meeting with my dad and his social worker.

I have a busy week ahead and since I took an extra day for the weekend I better get started now.

One more thing.. I saw a few people post saying they typed a long message but Fitday timed out. This happens to me often so before I post I just copy the message.. Just in case.
