Me too...I've had so little time to log on, etc., that I just jump to classic to do what I know how to quickly. Unfortunately I don't know if I can get on to make changes.
I am in the coupon camp, too...but just to the extent that the time I spend on it is worth the money I get save...I'm not interested in spending hours per week. I clip the ones from the paper and if something is on a good sale at the store, I'll do a quick internet search to see if I can match it with a coupon...and my store does a lot of BOGO, which I love (and can use two coupons...is it weird to be so thrilled by that?). I keep typical prices in my head but I do keep a notebook where I jot down sale prices so I know if something's a good sale or if it might be lower if I wait a couple weeks.

Monday:
1. Calories between 1000-1200; LOG EVERYTHING! 1008
2. 80-90 oz. of water a day, no excuses. Yes
3. NO BREAD Monday-Friday, which will force me to eat the things that I should be eating instead. 1 piece
4. No butter, margarine, spreads... nothing. Yes
5. Take all vitamins and supplements; don't skip the big, nasty ones. Yes
6. MINIMUM of 3 fruits and veggies a day. Yes
7. Re-eliminate my "5 forbidden foods" entirely. I've proven that I can't handle a little bit of anything. No, 1 piece of bread

Check in:
1.) Under 1400 calories/day: 1696
2.) Drink at least 64 oz. of water: Yes
3.) Exercise 3 times:
4.) Do Astro 542 HW by Wed: almost done
5.) Study for Astro 542 exam on Friday: started
6.) Read LAE/HETDEX papers by end of week!: not sure if it's gonna happen
7.) Don't weigh this week
Uh, not sure what happened today... may have been a bad case of calorie hoarding gone bad, but not sure. I'm also running out of money, ergo running out of food, ergo feeling kinda desperate when I look in the fridge. Hopefully what I bought tonight will last me through Sunday.

I'm feeling motivated, I made a big mess of chicken slop and packaged up for 5 meals.
The 5 serving is:
500g boneless, skinless chicked breast cooked on a George Foreman Grill
2 cans of low sodium cream of chicken soup
5 servings of brown rice
1 (5 serving) bag of mixed veggies
It's not the best tasting, but it's good for planning ahead. It contains a serving of veggies, serving of brown rice and 100 g of chicken. It's easy, convenient and I like the macros since I'm not trying to cut and lose weight.

2. Walk Steg 3mi: Yes
3. Stretch Twice: Yes
3. 100 Situps: Yes

I'm still working on that water, but all in all, even though I had a whine-fest earlier, I pulled my big-girl running shorts up and went on with life.
My arms are legit shaking from lifting now. It is delicious
Won some bro points for lifting with the big boys in the apartment complex weight room!
Mike: More power to you for being able to make soup!
