Eat breakfast every day 2. Drink water 1.5 L (6 cups) minimum 3. Limit snacks - maximum 3, no more than 200 cal each We'll be checking in starting tomorrow. (Princess please let me know if you want to tweak any of the goals)

First check in day - July 22 Nic BF (2 slices ww toast with almond butter and fruit spread, coffee with milk) snack 1- 7 almond/cinnamon cookies from Ikea (165 cal) snack 2 - 1 nectarine (?), 3 mini dark chocolate bars (120 cal) + 3 bites of stuff at M&M meatshop but I avoided the cream puff and did not have a Twisted Frosty from Wendys like I bought my 6 yr old for her special treat (siblings are away this week) so I AVOIDED at least 600 cal!!! Water: so far 1.5 L+ no snack #3 because I ended up with work! (Yippee!) Edited by NicC, Jul 22 2008, 11:03 PM.

Strenght Training, 1.5 liters of water and 1 snack, but it was a piece of Chocolate Cake so not good calories wise and I did eat breakfast, a piece of garlic toast, I got up at noon. See you tommorrow.

Elite Posts: 2,250 Group: Moderator Member #9 Joined: May 22, 2007 Favorite Fruit? cherries, grapefruit, mango, fresh pineapple, in season apples Favorite Vegetable? cucumber, red peppers Favorite Exercise? cycling	For July 23 I managed breakfast and a bit of walking. Ended up working (with dd at home) and the computer wasn't working like I wanted it too so I didn't get to sleep until 5 am this morning. Our pets also had to go to the vet so supper was delayed. I ate a big chocolate bar yesterday (500+ cal) - half was after midnight (but then I didn't get to sleep until 5 so technically I didn't eat 4 hours within bedtime...) July 24 - breakfast - yes, will try to better on water and snacks today. Definitely doing better on water... Edited by NicC, Jul 24 2008, 05:22 PM.

Advanced Posts: 609 Group: VIP Member #149 Joined: June 2, 2008 Favorite Fruit? Pineapple, Strawberries, Grapes, Grapefruit, Bananas, Favorite Vegetable? Red Peppers, Cucumbers, Broccoli, Spinach Favorite Exercise? Walking, Dancing	Monday: I got in Breakfast and 2 liters of water. On Sunday I made my kids mini Cherry Pies and I was so proud that I did not eat them. Then last night, I had got a big bowl of Vanilla Ice Cream and poured the left over Cherry pie filling on top and it was great...but the calories. So I'm trying hard today to keep my snacks under control.

BF - doing well Still drinking water with "additives" though Snacks continue to be hard but I've been doing better in the evenings even when I have work to do.
