Hi everyone,

I thought it was time to get "back on track". Tomorrow I will switch back to WW points...I was too lazy to look for my points counter and I had already thrown out the packaging from breakfast. I guess tomorrow will be a better day. Yes, it's a new day!

B - one carton yogurt (I started taking enzymes, and it makes a BIG difference with the dairy for me)
2 cups of ****** lol, I know what that is...hehehe) with n/d creamer
Total 250 calories
S - One small grapefruit - 76 calories

L - HA Living foods survival bar - 300 - (got it from someone on ebay)

S - 2 rice crackers - 140

D - This was my down fall because I was using up leftovers
6 oz piece of *****
med baked potato
********* for potato
green *****
feta *****
greek olives
lite dressing
total 1126 calories
Fiber - 10 calories
Grand total - 1902
Walk on treadmill for 3 miles - 345 (according to readout)
If I am doing this correctly, then my daily total is 1902 - 345 =1557

I am not sure how to calculate out how many calories that I need to get back on track. On WW I was on 20 points, I will switch back to that system tomorrow - much easier for me to figure out!

I do not know if I should use UFO's or ***** I think we should rename the board to Area 51. I know what they mean. I do not want to confuse someone with my "Non-IBS approved" food choices. LOL we totally understand the UFO or ****** do whatever you like.

Take care,

Karen

Ok... this morning I had my first doctors visit... as I needed to be able to give them a good urine sample, I chose not to drink anything before leaving since my appointment was first thing. With this being said, I couldn't take my Mirilax until after I got home and I usually take that before eating, so I skipped breakfast. I did however want to be able to make it through my appt without passing out from hunger, so I nibbled on some graham crackers.

CONGRATS SWEETIE!!

ok... now that I've babbled, here's the rest of the day...

Lunch - turkey, light mayo and lettuce on wheat bread, oven fries and seedless grapes.

Snack - 1/2 grapefruit and some in-the-shell peanuts

Dinner - spaghetti sauce over linguini/fettucini noodles, salad with light vinegarette dressing nice!! Did you serve it hot or cold?

Water - I think I've gotten close to 80oz today... give or take a few (this includes some peppermint tea this evening) YAH!!

Here's my Monday:

Breakfast - soy milk w/fiber powder, 1 piece homemade coffeecake (gone now )
Snack - apple
Lunch - turkey wrap w/ mustard and lettuce, about 3/4 of a super pretzel (I shouldn't have eaten it at all, it appeared to be covered in oil it made me a little crampy) Now why do they have to ruin a good thing? hope you feel better now...
Dinner - 5 scrambled egg whites, hashbrowns (made w/canola oil) unsweetened applesauce.
Dessert - few dried cherries, 1 large mug decaf w/the works.

I was doing soooo good not having any coffee until after dinner at least I had less than I normally do. I'm going to try again today - so far so good. Oh good...I know it is hard to stop

Excercise - 18 min on elliptical w/5 min walking warmup and cooldown, a few crunches. good

Water - no clue - maybe 70-80 oz? that's a good clue!

I have been doing pretty good. Did have a good week last week. I worked out everyday. Did strength training two days and cardio the rest. My eating has even gotten better. I am feeling better as well. This week I can only do cardio as I hurt my wrist so that means no weight training Oh well but I at least I can still do something. It just feels so great to be back to working out.
