Saturday:

Food: IHOP Chicken Fajita Omelette and a piece of bacon. Pineapple. Deviled eggs (yum), peas & ranch, baby lettuce from the garden. Raspberries. A spoon of peanut butter. A spoon of cream cheese. Cauliflower with cheese sauce. More baby lettuce + ranch. A little leftover cottage cheese from my kid.
Water: Plenty
Exercise: nope
Veggie-Fruits: Oh, yeah

Sunday:

Food: string cheese. a handful of green beans from the garden. a spoon of peanut butter. scrambled eggs with spinach and cheddar. snow peas with ranch. raspberries. cauliflower with cheese sauce. steak and corn on the cob. raspberries, flax, and some Fage 0% greek yogurt.
Water: Plenty
Exercise: 80+ min of Wii Fit. 20 reps of the pushup + side plank one = death. Oof. And then kidlet wanted to do the jackknife challenge one.
Veggie-Fruits: you betcha
Fiber: 37g
Affirmations: (my reading is that it's acceptable to put them all in one, so I'm doing that)
1) I've lost 70+ pounds. And have maintained that loss for 2 months, including a vacation.
2) I understand my kid, and parent her in a way that mostly suits her personality, without encouraging her tyrannical tendencies too much
3) I'm good at rephrasing problems in ways that make it easier to find workable solutions
4) When I want to do something, it will get done.
5) I read really really fast, and remember what I read.
6) I hiked the 4-mile river trail as a teenager, thinking nothing of it. Only to find that our pickup vehicle wasn't at the north end when we came out, because they'd been told by every park ranger they spoke to that the trail was impassable and we'd never make it, and if we were lucky, we'd turn back before we needed to be rescued.


As a side note, I went to get my blood drawn for a cholesterol profile recheck Saturday morning, then immediately switched over to lower-carb eating plan, because I wasn't enjoying what I had been doing. So the fiber thing this week is a little tricky for me. I'm using FitDay's fiber numbers, even though IMHO some of them are suspect, and trying to get a little extra in just in case. Yesterday, I had 108g of carbs, 44 of which were fiber. Today, I had 95g of carb, 37 of which were fiber. I'm trying to keep my net carbs under about 80 (about 15% of calories) to see if that works better.
 
Food:
Lentil Soup
Tons of veggies (an entire green pepper, cucumber, carrots etc)
A banana
Strawberry smoothie
Bran cereal
Lots of water
Came out to approximately 34.3g fiber (getting that much fiber was reaaally hard)

Exercise:
CPR/First Aid training all day so I didn't get much done.
30 min walk with the dog and 15 minutes on the bike

June 8th: I'm very generous

Affirmation: see prior post. Also, I've learned to take constructive criticism better, without getting defensive. I used to be really bad at that, but I'm pretty good at it now.

Wow, is low-carb good for dropping water weight. Down 1.6 pounds in the first day, which I thought was a fluke, but I was down another 0.2 pounds this morning. Gonna be a bummer to add carbs back later. :)

It's just water, so it doesn't change anything. You've got just as much fat, and your clothes fit exactly the same way. The number on the scale is lower, that's all.
 
I'd be happy with a lower number! Fat or not lolll :D:D:D
