Exercise: walked fast to work 40 mins, walked slower later 35 mins
Sums: Consumed 1970
I ate 504 less than I burned- so on target (barely)
I dropped one pound this week (making a total of three in two weeks) Amazing given that I ate dinner out three nights and drank wine three nights too. Yay me!
Yay! That's awesome! I think it's great that you walk to work. I wish I lived closer to my job. Anyway, keep up the good work!

I usually (now that I've added a little extra protein) get to the 800-900 mark, calorically speaking. I shoot to clear at least 1000 or so. It's really hard! I measure & count everything & let Fitday do my energetic accounting. My challenge is that fats (which add tons of calories) violently trigger attacks, so they're out. Sugar is a trigger & most products make me feel ill. I'm shooting to at least get near my BMI on a regular basis which is 1375-1400. Ususally if I get around 1000-ish calories & more than enough protein I won't wake-up hungry in the middle of the night & have a "witching hour" snack.
I must say, though that infusing my food with colour and flavour & fun--covering all the tastes does make me feel good & leaves me very satisfied. Hey, even the music in the background is part of the energy that the food imparts. My energy & blood sugar is much better with vegetables as my primary source of carbohydrate & they are rather low density
(but high-test) sources of energy.
I read a neat article, by the way, about food/anxiety. Your "cereal girl" response is actually totally therapeutic for eating for anxiety as cereals are B-vitamin fortified (those are majorly depleted by stress/anxiety!). Foods high in folate are great for us anxious types--yes, broccoli was on the list as was salmon.
How are you doing with project "weight gain?" It is really really hard to gain weight & years ago when I had to gain weight I could only do it via tube feeds!
My pants are a tad too baggy, so I'm doing my best to just keep on eating & eating lots! I'm really depressed about my alopecia & HUGE bald spots!
Kate.

I think the last time I weighed myself was in November and I was only 105. I don't think I've gained any weight since then - all my clothes fit the same. Last time I lost this much weight, it took years to gain back 15lbs. Oh well! What's my hurry anyway? I'm feeling pretty good. SO much better than this time last year!
That article you read sounds really interesting! I just bought some more Crispix today. Go ME! 
I'm sorry about your alopecia, but maybe it will go into remission again. Do think stress from the holidays may have triggered it? Anyway, haven't you heard that bald is beautiful?! I'm thinking with your delicate features you probably look great with or without hair. You could cut it short and get some beautiful hoop or drop earrings to highlight your eyes and cheek bones.  Have you seen pics of Natalie Portman with her shaved head? Gorgeous!

one of those wonderful days where i do the math after dinner and go, 'damn. i need to eat some teddy grahams!'
on the not-great side, though, really gassy tonight. can popcorn have that effect in five minutes? or is it the soup catching up with me?
cinnamon life
1/2 cup apple sauce
1/2 fake bologna sandwich (w/ reduced fat mayo)
1 1/2 c vegetable soup
wheat thins
oatmeal
tofu & mushrooms in brown sauce
single-serve bag of kettle corn
teddy grahams
calories - surely less than 1600, probably closer to 1500. still too sore from running to go to the gym. but hey, 1500 calories. with vegetables, protein, and teddy grahams.
Yep.. GOTTA have those teddy grams!! LOL
You were gassy too??!?!? Dang... my wind will not stop either!

Egg whites (1 cup)
Asparagus puree
Chives (yup, I food processed it!)
More asparagus (puree)
Green swiss chard (puree) and portabellini mushroom crumbles
Seasoned rice vinegar, fish sauce, lime
Albecore tuna & zucchini "salad" (baked grated zucchini , albecore tuna, chives, basil, McCormick's Garlic & herb No-Salt Seasoning, fresh lime)
Baked eggplant & field greens (I food processed the field greens with some cooked green swiss chard & tons of parsley. A kind of salad smoothie or dip for the eggplant chips. Yes, I've been grinding my teeth to death and my jaw feels a little numb!)
with fatfree raspberry dressing & more seasoned rice vinegar & lime juice.
I HOPE I DON'T WAKE-UP FAMISHED @ 3 or 4 a.m., but if I do, so be it! I'll probably eat a scoop of chicken breast should it occur. (I know I probably don't eat enough calorically, but I'm too satisfied at the moment. Actually, I'm so used to waking up famished at 3 or 4 a.m. that I barely give it a second thought.)
Kate.
This sounds yummy!! "Albecore tuna & zucchini "salad" (baked grated zucchini , albecore tuna, chives, basil, McCormick's Garlic & herb No-Salt Seasoning, fresh lime)"
when you puree all that stuff... do you cook it 1st, after, or not at all?

Get well a.s.a.p.
I have to chuckle! I'd eat 3 or 4 cups of mushrooms, versus the mere 3 you did! Lol! I feel like a glutton! I'm disgusting--I eat these things by the pound!
Once more--I am overwhelmed (in a good way) about the energy & the discipline you OWN! May the fire of motivation continue burning with the ferocity of your discipline in the New Year. So many "lose the weight," but don't change their lifestyles.
Kate.
Kate your so funny!! I hope it keeps burnin too... lots of FAT!! LOL I got more mushrooms at the store at lunch.. I want to be cafeful.... I need to make sure those are not what is giving me this bad wind!! LOL
