Weight: 130.0

My low weight on Sat. after the library was 128.5. On Sun. and Mon., 129.5, and today 130. Calories on Sat. and Sun were 1200.

I have two games this week on Sat. and Sun so I have to tread carefully so I can afford some beer/wine.

Then there are two more games next Tues. and Wed. It's not going to be easy!

Lunch toy was chicken salad made w/ low fat yogurt. Snacks today will be cantalope and papaya. I'm going to make an okra gumbo tonight, a salad have some celery w/hummus (the low calorie kind!)

start

Current Goal - 35 lbs lost so far, only 5 lbs to go!

Was it you who said Cedar's has the least amount of calories?

129 once again. I like that I'm seeing this weight more and more frequently.

Was I careful about doling out 3 T of hummus! Now I'm wondering how I'm going to use the rest of of 70 cal. roasted pepper hummus. Looks like it's about to enter the d"special occasion" category.

Fruits yesterday: blueberries, papaya, pineapple and cherries

Protein: 6oz lean pork chop

Salad - for me it was small, but probably a large salad for anyone else.

1/2C mixed whole grain rice, 2 stalks celery w/3 T hummus

Today I'll have a can of prime tuna filet mixed w/ FF yogurt, celery and dill relish. I hope to avoid having it on bread or a bagel and instead put it on pieces of red pepper. My Latin market had the red peppers on sale for 79 cents lb! Did I stock up! At that price I can afford to make red stuffed peppers.

I don't know of any games coming up, so the beer/wine front is safe which makes it possible to test the waters at 128.5 again.Ahhhh. If only.

Current Goal - 36.5 lbs lost so far, only 3.5 lbs to go!

It would be great if you could see that lower number before another game. You can do it!!:)

130 today. I think it's because of the Sabra hummous I had bought, two for one. I had forgotten to check the calories in it, thinking it would be 30-40 cals. per Tbl. but NO! Turns out it was 70! To make matters worse I had a third stalk of celery and didn't measure the hummous. I weighed the container and discovered I had eaten 5.5 oz of it! Way too much!

So today I went back to Whole Foods and bought some more Cedars at 40 cal. per oz. Tonight I'm going to measure first and take no more chances of going over like I did last night.

On the positive side, I really filled up on a bowl of steamed broccoli and one of baby bok choy. I flavored them both with a 15 cal. T of raspberry vinaigrette. I made another big salad and had 1/2C each of mixed rice and red beans.

I've discovered there can be huge discrepancies among different kinds of hummus. Not sure why! Thanks for your support on my choices yesterday. I was pleased and I think the wine was actually a healthier and much lower calorie option than those cookies. And yes, the smell of the fried foods was nauseating, more than anything. I remember BTC talking about funnel cakes, I think here in the States. She used to talk about the fun fairs in Paris too with their kettle corn....Hope you have a nice weekend!

Your veggies and salads sound great! I've also failed to read hummus labels and was disappointed to learn of the higher calories. (Didn't learn that, of course, until after I had eaten too much. Lesson learned....)

Weight: 128.5

When I got home from the library yesterday I was 128.5! I had the feeling that I'd be down because the day before I was starving! Any time I ate it was as if I hadn't eaten a thing, but I hung in there and didn't go off track.

Now, every time I have one of those "eating/hungry" days, I'll look at it as a precursor to a loss. At the moment I'm 129.5.

I even had a 16oz beer last night during my game. One beer. I had to take small sips to make it last. This is no way to live! I told my doctor this morning that I wanted to go back on the old medicine because the one I've been on since Jan. hasn't seemed to have made a difference in my knee. I told him with the World Series and college football season coming up I wanted to make a "lifestyle" change; that I just can't enjoy my games with water.

He talked me into continuing the drug for one more month at a slightly higher dose, and if my condition remains the same, then I can go back to the other drug.

I ended up with about 1400 cals yesterday because of the 200 for the beer. I'll be back to 1100-1200 today. Same foods, w/sl. dense German wheat bread w/PNB & sugarless jam budgeted in. No beer or wine today. The usual fruits w/dairy, leftover eggplant and steamed veggies.

I'm sure you saw the recent study on the benefits of moderate alcohol consumption :) It made me feel better about my love for red wine! I hope you get your medicine sorted out or switched to something that works better for you. And thanks for your support on my challenge today. I think the fact that it's 92 degrees with terrible humidity and we'll be walking around in that should help curb my appetite also.

129.5 - 1200 cals. yesterday.

I worked it out so I could afford a sl. of toast w/PNB and sugarless jam. What a treat! No salad yesterday, just the celery w/hummus, 7 almonds, 1 Dove, papaya and pineapple w/FF sour cream. Lunch ws 3.6 oz steak. Dinner, two C ratatouille w/okra too.

Bought some more cherries and two cantalopes today so I have plenty to choose from.
