Day 23- so so
Well, yesterday ended bad as far as food is concerned. I was SO hungry! I waited for Paul and David to come home for dinner and it was almost 8pm by the time we ate dinner! Then we sat to watch tv and the carb craving kicked in and I ate cake, a piece of bread and some chips! Ugh! Gained 1 lb! BMI today was up to 31.80! I did do 78 minutes of Wii Walk It Out yesterday and got in all of my water.
Today, so far I am at 1400 calories and it is healthy calories. Going to have a cup of tea I guess. The acid reflux is hitting me hard and reminding me I need to lose the weight! I picked up a new 50 lb bag of Remmy's dog food and reminded myself again what my goal was: to lose my own personal bag of dog food I am carrying around with me! 1 scoop at a time, right? I did 44 minutes of Wii Walk It Out tonight.
Back to work today. Not too bad. Computer system was a little slow and it was frustrating. I did get one kitchen fire today. I have my luncheon for work on Thursday. Hopefully I can find something relatively healthy to eat for lunch.

The 50 pound dog food comment has me laughing! Great motivator!
May I ask who went for the carb loaded foods first? You or Hubby and David. If it wast you - SHAME! If it was one of the other 2 you just get a BAD GIRL! Enjoy your luncheon Thursday.
It was me! I let myself get SO hungry that dinner just wasn\'t enough. And the carb craving hit me SO bad and I just ate and ate without even thinking about it. I have to pace myself and not let myself get so hungry in the first place. When I get like that, it is SO hard to stop!
Yesterday wasn\'t so great for me either. But even though I went over by a few Points, at least it was \"good carbs\" like oatmeal. Was glad I had purged my pantry of stuff that would have done more damage! And today at the Food Bank, I resisted temptation! When I saw they had peanut butter, I looked away. I was the victor!
Love the analogy of the weight to the dog food. It\' really brought it to life for me.
Have fun at your luncheon.
I had a day like you with carbs. I don\'t know if the carb cravings is because winter is coming or we just didn\'t eat on time and felt deprived.
WE have to remember to eat on time and if we can\'t maybe have a snack in place to keep us on track. Sometimes i have nuts and raisins. what do you think for you.. what about making veggies and eating some before dinner.. iv\'e done that too.
Great job with the wii.
I\'ve been slowing down on exercise... doing slower dvd\'s of walking.. 2 miles in 30 mins instead of 3 in 36 mins.
I don\'t agree. I learned at WW that sometimes you need to look at the reasons for your slips and learned from them and rejoice in even the smallest of gain. If you had a smaller piece of cake, less chips, or only 1 piece of bread when you narmally wouldhave eaten a lot more than it was a victory of sorts because you didn\'t indulge as much as you would have in the past. Settings goals for the holidays that are realistic are the way to achieve them. Don\'t set unreasonable goals that doom you to fail. Good for you on the Wii workouts. I am going to start them up again once we move. I will also be starting WW again. Losing weight is about lifestyle change not just the weight. If you lost the weight without learning how and why you got there in the first place you would gain it all back. Here\'s to both of losing our bags of dog food in 2012 for good. XO :)
