Do what feels right to you. Maybe try just journaling the food, without tracking the points will help you stay on track better. Good luck.
And forgot to say Welcome to BTL!
I work on a college campus and have to face bad food most the time. When the semester is in session I will eat in a dorm that has a veggie line and a huge salad bar. Or I bring my lunch, snacks, etc. Its the days when I don't bring enough snacks tha…
Congratulations!
That annoying little voice that was telling me it was ok to be lazy tonight and to over eat.
We were invited to go over to our friends house for dinner tonight. I didn't have any meat thawed to throw on the grill, so we decided too go. It wound up…
This group is for those of us who are trying to eat clean. Whether you have read the book or not, share your ideas and questions here to eat whole foods and gain control on your eating/weight.
Great job!

- Thanks! And congrats on the push ups! It is totally a mental thing, but they are definitely difficult. I hate it when my trainer makes me do them, but it's so empowering to be able to say you did it!

Kim said… - OMG...15 hours in the summer is insane!! I wish him the best! I wish I could just go to school but I can't afford to right now. I am also working towards my BSN. Hopefully I can keep my gpa high enough with everything else in my life to get in. I am really freaking out about it! The university that I am planning to go to has 300 applicants this year for 100 spots. Wish me luck! :)

Erin P. said… - Thank you for the advice on losing while nursing! It helped, believe me! This week was a great weigh in, and I honestly felt better all week. Not starving like I had been.
Hope you are doing well!

Valerie said… - Thanks for your comment! I think toning will help. I do a lot of weights for my arms and they are pretty toned, but I've always slacked a little on my legs. I think I could make great progress, so I definitely will try it out!

Mrs. B. said… - Hi! Thanks for the encouragement on my blog post today.
THIS IS IT! I'm doing it for real this time.
The weight will be gone...just call me the incredible shrinking woman! (I'll call you that too, if ya want me to.) ;)

Kristina said… - Cynder,
Hi! thanks for your comment--I read your story above and wanted to tell you that I, too, am working on getting the weight off that I had gained before getting pregnant. The pregnancy weight came of quickly...but getting pregnant at my heaviest has made it SO difficult! I want to have another baby and i'd love to get to a healthy weight before getting pregnant again. Good luck with your journey! We can do it! Do you have any sort of a 'time frame' for getting pregnant again? Im thinking somewhere around February--give or take...you know how 'plans' have a mind of their own!

I beat that little voice in my head!
That annoying little voice that was telling me it was ok to be lazy tonight and to over eat.
We were invited to go over to our friends house for dinner tonight. I didn't have any meat thawed to throw on the grill, so we decided too go. It wound up being breakfast foods. I knew I had 600 calories left for dinner, and had a workout planned that would earn another 300, so I knew I could afford to splurge a little.

I just did something I have never done before!
And something I didn't think I could ever do.
Pushups!
15 of them!
Granted they were all on my knees, but I have had a mental block on doing pushups all my life. The husband said I had good form going.
Now I wonder if I can do 20 tomorrow night.

All in all, an ok week 3
I was much better with my portion control than I had been in the past, eating to the point of being full, and not eating to the point of being stuffed.
I have counted all my calories and tracked them at myfitnesspal.com
I worked out 4/5 planned times, and got some unexpected swimming in, but not counting it as a full exercise.
I splurged on popcorn at Harry Potter, but stopped when I was satisfied instead of eating the whole bucket. Instead I shared with the friends I saw the move with.

Another week, another tiny gain
So many times this week I have come to BTL, caught up on the blogs, and opened the screen to add my own daily blog, only to get caught up with work, or to come to a complete blank about anything to write.
I think I have fully recovered from the slump I was in last week. I have been eating better this week, and have managed to get up and push play on ChaLean Extreme 3 days so far this week, with plans to work out tonight and at least once this weekend. I have been having trouble going to bed bef… Continue

Learning to eat to live and instead of living ot eat.
Just thinking about a commit I made on Willpower's blog
How is it that some people are wired to "Eat to live" while others are wired to "Live to Eat".
Me, I'm firmly in the "Live to Eat" camp. I think about food most of the time. I dream about what I am going to eat that day/the next day. When I go to the fair, I'm all about the food. I start day dreaming about dinner before I'm halfway done with lunch. Its no wonder that I over eat, and have a hard time staying on track. I can't help it. I ge… Continue
