Hi Jenn! Last night I wanted to snack so bad, but resisted the -very strong- urge, and just had a can of Coke Zero instead. This morning when I weighed myself, I was down 1.2 pds! So glad, because those scales kept creeping up on me a little bit everyday!
Breakfast- cereal, flax, milk (285)
Lunch- 1C soup (150), open faced sandwich (80), apple (60), granola bar (140)
Supper- not sure, as I think that I will be out of soup...time to make another batch I guess! Might have salmon, carrots, broccoli and herb and garlic sauce (240)
snacks- 2 apples (@ 60 each), pringles stix (90), pudding (90)
My total comes to 1255, but if I get any exercise in, I'll eat a bit more.
B - 1 1/2 servings oatmeal with 1/2 c. skim milk, water & 1/2 c. frozen berries, 1 T. brown sugar, 2 T. walnuts
L - leftover stuffed shells (made with turkey sausage, lowfat mozzarella & ricotta), salad

Well, I went on a 5.4km walk, and ended the day with 1440. Now for today:
- breakfast- cereal, flax, milk (285)
- lunch- making soup (150), it'll be done just in time! also having apple (60), open faced sandwich (80)
- supper- soup again (150)
- snacks at home- apple (60), pudding (90)
This takes me to 875. I'm going to the theater to see the Rocky Horror Picture Show this evening, so I left myself 400 calories for a coffee (or 2...) and maybe some kind of treat.
Have a great weekend all! Stay strong Jenn! :D
Breakfast- 1 cup. Multigrain cereal, 1 cup of Soy milk. = 290 calories
Snack- 51 Whole Wheat Cheddar Bunnies. = 140 calories
Lunch- 1 slice of Toast, 2 tablespoon. Sun Butter, Cinnamon Struedel Mini Rice Cakes. = 335 calories
Snack- 1 small Banana. = 90 calories
Dinner- 1 cup. of Creamy Deluxe Macaroni and Cheese. = 340 calories
Snack- 50 Cinnamon Graham Goldfish. = 150 calories
=1,345 calories
Maintaining on 500 calories? Wow, that sure is something. I know I don't need to say anything, you can't be on cc for more than 2 minutes without knowing the deal.
My day will look something like this with whatever small things get stuffed in my mouth along the way.
Breakfast- cream of wheat protein pancakes with sugar free syrup. I added the egg whites in too early last night when I was making the COW so they didn't mix nicely, they solidified into chunks. I shouldn't be doing this at 11 pm when I'm tired and just want to go to bed.
Lunch- hitting Subway today and getting a 6" turkey breast with lettuce, pickles, and a little mayo, my favorite. I'm looking forward to it. I'll bring it home and pair it with my freeze dried 35 calorie faux potato chips.
Snack- half a double fiber English muffin with a little peanut butter
Dinner- whole wheat pasta, shrimp, asparagus, garlic, some herbs from my garden (before everything freezes soon) all tossed and sauteed in a little olive oil. Divine!
And a mint skinny cow after I put the kids to bed. No little moochers allowed around when I have my skinny cow.
"And a mint skinny cow after I put the kids to bed. No little moochers allowed around when I have my skinny cow."
hahah, I'm the same way- my kids would inhale all of my low cal stuff if I let them! Not that I mind if they have low cal snacks as well...just, get your own! :D

- snack- apple (60)
- lunch- open faced sandwich (100), granola bar (110)

That takes me to 1025 so far today. For some really bizarre reason, I'm not that hungry. I tell myself I should get something more to eat, but I just don't feel like eating. Trust me, this is a very rare occurrence.
I know the cure for this- tonight after the kids are in bed, I'll put a movie on. Nothing sparks immediate hunger like having a movie on! haha
Wow, I feel like I never have time for CC anymore :-( I guess I'll have to try and make time.

Aw, I think I must be coming up on my TOM, because the last 2 days I am hungry hungry hungry all the time. I'm trying to be good, but I don't know how long I can hold out! Last night in a desperate attempt to be good, I grabbed a carrot. That was my movie snack.
I got a box of 20 Timbits for the kids today and despite my best intentions of having not a single one, I ended up having 4!
Hope your day ends up better than mine, Jenn!

Oh gosh Jenn, I'm feeling that day you had yesterday, I've had those myself!
Yesterday I ended up baking- PB fudge with chocolate icing, and whole wheat cinnamon roles.......they both taste waaay too good :( I put the fudge out of sight (out of mind, I hope) I also have an apple pie here from my mom. I can't wait until this yummy tempting stuff is GONE! As a result of my baking and poor self control, I ended the day with approx 1600 calories! The only good thing was I had a 5Km jog and lifted weights. Still, the scale is up this morning...
Today-
- breakfast- special k, flax seed, 1% milk (285)
- lunch- 1/2C turkey veg soup (75), open faced chicken sandwich (100), pudding (90)
- supper- mixed veg (100), can of tuna (120), sauce (20)
- snacks- 2 apples (@60 each), granola bar (140), cinnamon roll (150), piece of fudge (100)
If I can stay on track, I'll end the day with 1300.
I'm back! I had a great conference and actually lost weight while I was there.....back into the 130's, thank goodness!
Hope you are all doing well :)

Thats great news about losing while away Jenn! I always tend to gain as soon as I step foot outside the door! :D
Today I tried a new breakfast cereal- Kashi Go Lean. Everyone on here raves about it, so I thought it was time to try for myself- I thought it was bland and gross! The only thing it had going for it (aside from the nutritional aspect) was the crunchiness. I'll have it again, but I'm going to try it with a sprinkle of sugar on it!
OK! So I'm back at it this week - I didn't even stuff myself at thanksgiving :) Very proud.
B: Kashi granola bar (cherry and dark chocolate)
L: Bagel with lf cc, banana
S: Apple
D: Veggie Stir-Fry
S: Popcorn
