Comments(4) I ate very good meals this weekend but ate one too many unhealthy snacks in between meals. (A Cinnabon!) That is an old habit that will be HARD to break, it will take time. I am not going to expect change overnight. But I am not going to be too easy on myself either. The weekends are hardest due to easier/more access to junk food.Next week end I will do better.
Comments(1) Yes I meant to put salada - it sounded fancier to me than just salad! LOL
The greatest fruit salad recipe for when you are tired of the same old same old:
*6-8 servings
1 pinepple cut into pieces, 1 cup blueberries, 1 cup blackberries, 3 cups strawberries halved and 2 sliced bananas, wash well, mix with 2 packets Splenda for added sweetness if desired.
YUM!
Comments(1) If you get South Beach Living non fat Ranch dressing, which has 50 cals for 2 tbsp. You can double the amount and add only 16 calories by adding 2 tbsp plain non fat yogurt and mix well. This still is very flavorful,a nd great for a dip for veggies!
Here is my yummy low cal lunch today:
| Ranch Dressing, South Beach Living, Light, Non Fat | 1 | 2 tablespoon | 50 | 0 | 11 | 0 |
| Celery, raw | 0.75 | 1 cup chopped | 12 | 0.1 | 2.2 | 0.5 |
| Squash, summer, zucchini, includes skin, raw | 0.75 | 1 cup, chopped | 15 | 0.2 | 3.1 | 1.1 |
| Yogurt, plain, no fat | 0.2 | 175 gram | 16 | 0 | 2.6 | 1.4 |

for nearly 3 cups of food, VERY filling. WOW!!
Comments(5) Tell me how - when I weighed last night before I went to bed, I was 280, still no weight loss After Dieting Since July 1. ….
Then when I wake up this morning and the scale said 275.
HOW?
I got back on it about 5 times to be sure it wasnt mistaken! How do you loose 5 lbs while you sleep??? I dont have a TOM anymore so it is NOT that.
Well, if it still says 275 tonight, then I will be able to enter my first weight loss in my ticker! 5 lbs! YAY…well lets not celebrate too soon…LOL
Comments(0) Well I like the way I ate today alot better than yesterday. Low cal diet feels alot easier, more natural, more healthy, to me (than low carb I tried yesterday). I ate less snacks today than previously too. And I only ate the 2 snacks when I was here at my Food Journal, and I suddenly realized I had only eat 1100 calories today! LOL- I thought, that means I can eat a few more calories and still loose! Well not a great theory I know, but hey…gimme a break! I am actually doing really good. I am getting ready to go swimming for 30 mins to an hour. And I said I wasnt going to exarcise at all when I began this diet July 1st! YAY for me 
Any way I had abnout 60% carbs, 20% fat amd 25% protein. It felt good.
Good night folks! and good luck! Remember:
Comments(3) I tried to have a low carb day. I was doing real good, and even ended with a 12% carb intake, sounds good right? But I messed up at the end of the day. I fetl it would be ok to eat some low carb snacks. Alot of them. Stupid I know. When I entered the facts in my food journal, I saw the bad results. Having nearly half of my intake be FAT doesnt seem good to me (42%). Is that really any better than having it be half carbs but less fats? If I had stayed on my Low CAL version of my diet, I would have had less calories for the day overall but more carbs… which is better? I am so confused….I know I should not have had the snacks….but if I do have a snack, is a low carb high fat one any better than a hi carb low fat one? Or are both just bad bad bad?!
Maybe if I go exercise I will feel better!

Comments(2) Today is going ot be a low carb day. My goal is less than 25% carbs.
I should not have had the milk for breakfast! But I can still prevail.
I brougt a very low carb salad with me to work for lunch.
I will drive to the park nearby and eat it at a picnic table. I love doing that :).

I wanted to post this as a reminder for myself (from the above link):
Unless you are excited to be following a very specific diet and exercise plan, do not try and change too much too fast. If you have been eating poorly and not exercising, both your body and your mind will have a lot of adjusting to do.
All the sugar and fat were actually quite enjoyable, and sitting on the couch didn’t feel too bad, either. If you try and change everything too quickly the odds are greater that you will feel bad, get discouraged, and give up. So be patient.
A time will come when a healthy snack will taste as good as the junk food you felt bad about eating, and you will look forward to your regular exercise.
Comments(0) Sushi looks to be my new diet trick food. I love it. And if I cut out half the rice portions, add some edamame or side salad or some other low carb veggie, it is pretty filling. I had it for dinner tonight. YUM. I had a very hi protein, low carb day, VERY out of the ordinary for me! I thought it would be hard to do but it’s not that bad.
I will definitely do it more often.
I am doing a good job, sticking to my diet, I even swam again tonight for 20 minutes! YAY! I have to swim from now on after the baby goes to bed so my husband does not get angry about having to “babysit” every night after work. I can do that. He got mad at me tonight because I bought tiny little 4 oz steak to grill! LOL - he said “Dont force your diet down my throat” - I said “I am feeding you this way because I love you, as long as I shop I will buy the portiions I want us to have, if you don’t want it, don’t eat it”..he is overweight also AND type 2 diabetes to boot…he ate it…LOL
