The days will get better Cryssi. Don't beat yourself up. At least you are right back on plan

Cryssi · 01-23-2013, 07:53 AM

Morning.

Ate off plan last night and this morning.

I am under a lot of stress with school right now (maintaining a 4.0 is hard!

)

I need to get my butt back in gear.

I am not even weighing till this weekend.

No water aerobics for me tonight. I need oto catch up on homework so I can stop stressing about it.

ceecee08 · 01-23-2013, 01:28 PM

Take it one day at a time. At least you can identify your triggers. Have a great study day and get some work done. I have to do the same.

Jinny · 01-23-2013, 09:14 PM

Morning! I agree with Ceecee.
You can do this. Sometimes I need to remind myself that it's not a race.

Cryssi · 01-27-2013, 09:56 AM

Morning.

I am back and ready to go. Weighed myself this morning. 318.0. I was all the way down to 306. I am extremely disappointed in myself but am going to try not to dwell on it.

My new goal is 299 by Mar 1.

I have to figure out how I am going to fit the gym in with my new work schedule. I won't be able to do water aerobics anymore and I am fine with just walking the treadmill and stuff but it's going to be a PITA to get there most days I think. Just depends on what Mike's hours wind up being since we only have 1 car. Weekends will be easy. No water aerobics still but I can go workout with no problems. I just don't know if exercising just on the weekends is going to help much.

Anyway, todays meal plan:

B: Not too hungry so just water for now.
L: Leftover london broil sauteed up with some Brussels sprouts
D: Linda Sue's enchilada bake, salad with Ranch

Morning Cryssi.
Cheering you on. You can do it.

Cryssi · 01-28-2013, 08:29 AM

Morning!

Down 5lbs already. Some of it is of course water weight and some of it is cause I had..um...tummy troubles last night /tmi

It's nice to see the instant loss though.

I forgot my breakfast this morning so I will eat half my lunch in a bit if I get hungry. I am super busy finishing up various stuff before I leave this week and I have some meetings this morning so I may not have time to even think about it till lunch

Lunch will be leftover enchilada bake (from Linda Sue's site), guac, sour cream and a salad with tomatoes and ranch.

Dinner will be leftover night as Mike has his jujitsu class tonight at the gym and we have to be there at 6:30. I should go and at least walk some but I am also debating getting my Project Management final out of the way while him and the kids are gone. Plus, exercise makes me hungry and I have to fast all day tomorrow for some routine lab work tomorrow afternoon so I don't want to be starving all day. I will just have to see how I feel after work today.

Hope everyone has a great day!

Cryssi · 01-29-2013, 07:47 AM

Morning.

Giving it another shot today after falling face first into Jack in the Box for dinner last night. I am gonna get back in my groove darnit!

I have to fast all day for a doctor appointment at 2:30 so I am hoping that will help be a good restart. I will be drinking tons of water and iced tea (they okayed it since I drink fresh brewed, plain - no lemon or sweetener of any sort) which should help flush my system too.

Dinner tonight is going to be Melt In Your Mouth Chicken and brussel sprouts.

Hope everyone has a great day.

Jinny · 01-29-2013, 11:01 PM

Making a complete lifestyle change is daunting at best. I love how determined you are! You can definitely do it.
Melt In Your Mouth Chicken sounds delicious! Would you mind sharing your recipe or point me in the right direction?

ceecee08 · 01-30-2013, 05:52 AM

You can do this Cryssi. Just keep posting which takes a lot. I know alll about it.

Yes recipe please.

Cryssi · 01-30-2013, 08:36 AM

Sure it's from here:
Melt in Your Mouth Chicken

I cut the seasoning salt way back to just a little sprinkle because we are not huge salt eaters and the parm is already way salty so watch that part.

I don't know how much chicken I used (I used tenders) but it filled a 9x13 dish.

Next time I would season the chicken first. I might even go as far as using the seasonings listed ON the chicken instead of the mixture (still minus most of the salt).

Here's the pic

I stayed on plan last night. It was HARD. As soon as I left the doctors office it took everything I had not to stop at McD's because I was HUNGRY. But, I went home made dinner and did fine with it. I am not sure how much of it I actually chewed though

Then after dinner we had to run to the library to return some books and the boys wanted to stop for slushies and candy bars

I was good though and had a Diet Dr. Pepper and beef jerky.

TOM showed up this morning so my weight is still at 314 and I don't expect it to budge for a few days now.

I also can't do my water aerobics class tonight either which sucks because it's going to be one of the last 1 can do with my new schedule next week

Plan for today:
B: LS enchilada bake (if I get hungry...right now my TOM migraine is winning)
L: Leftovers from last night
D: Salad (wanted ooey gooey cheesey meatballs but Noah has karate tonight and I won't have time to mess with it)

Hoep everyone has a great day!
