Breakfast: Homemade smoothie with strawberry, banana and soy milk
Coffee Break: sliced of brown soda bread toasted with scraping of flora and scraping of marmalade
Lunch: Baked potato with tuna, mayo, corn and salad with cucumber and beetroot
Afternoon snack: Mini cornflake bite from M&S
SO FAR, SO GOOD, THEN IT ALL WENT RAPIDLY DOWNHILL…..
BEFORE Dinner snacks: 4 brownie cookies, NOT SAFE and a whopping 356 calories (Comfort eating due to visit from MIL2B)
Dinner: I ordered in Chinese. King Prawns with chilies and cashew nuts and boiled rice, I drained the sauce off it but my conservative estimate is that it was about 1012 calories including the rice
Dessert Where could I have fitted dessert after all those cookies and the chinese?
Water: 70oz (barely)
Activites: Zip, was a bit achey and tired after my spin class still so gave myself a night off the gym.
Total Calories consumed: 2159
BMR 2320 plus 0 activities= 2320 -500(weight loss)= budget of 1820.
I consumed 2159 so I am over budget by 339 
PLEASE SCOLD ME

Actually, Sinead, that's really not so bad at all... I'm a hardcore comfort eater, and I don't think I could have stopped at 4 cookies. And dinner, well... it's hard to stop eating Chinese, too.
It could have been worse! Today's another day!

Thanks Casey. I am terrible for comforting eating too. I would probably have stopped at more except I was upset and my tummy got upset too! And I decided to input the cookies into fitday.com. I was HORRIFIED at the calories and fat content so that stopped me in my tracks.
I have been known to devour cans of creamed rice pudding, packets of biscuits and packages of treatsize mars bars in a single sitting when upset. I think I am finally realising that I only feel worse after all that!

As for food, I confess. I blew it today. Popcorn, bagels and UFO's, chocolate, you name it, I ate it. But that's OK.
I had a talk with my WW leader last night. I'm down half a pound. She reminded me that the scale is only part of the story. I mentioned my frustrations at not losing and she said that I'm doing everything right. I'm exercising, lifting weights, drinking lots of water, eating a healthy diet, and it will come off eventually. She reminded me that I'm likely building muscle and that's why the scale isn't budging.
So I'm going to try to be patient. This is going to take some time, but I'm doing it right. So next time I start whining about not losing, kick my @$$!

I'm glad you had a talk with your WW leader! That's the sort of thing she's there for.  And she's right - the scale may not be budging right now, but you ARE getting healthier. It will catch up with you sooner or later!

Hi everyone! I am very excited b/c I had my "moment of truth" with the scale last night and I have lost an additional 2.25 lbs!! For a total of 3.25 lbs - down to 136.5. YAY!!
I am sending a scolding out to Sinead (even though you really weren't too bad as Casey said - I would have still eaten dessert!)
breakfast - 1/2 serving of oatmeal made w/soy milk, raisins, OJ/fiber, mint tea (291)
snack - Green grapes (114) UFO beverage (155)
lunch - turkey sandwich, same as yesterday (234)
dinner - chicken fajitas (2 of them) w/salsa, cilantro, and UFO toppings (602)
dessert - NONE! Even tho there is a Cadbury cream egg burning a hole in my drawer!
Excercise - 20 min walking, 10 min on elliptical, crunches and ball excercises. Supposedly burning ~160 cals.
Total calories from food - 1494-160=1334 which seems to be working for me. I'm going to try to have an extra snack in the afternoon today - I don't like to do that on days where I do cardio after work cuz eating/drinking too much pre-workout gives me side stiches.
