Look at that! I passed the 50 yard line! These are really good losses for me this week. I accidentally went over 500 calories yesterday. I actually got 535. I had beef and chicken in the same day, but I really wanted beef for dinner, so I had it without calculating it first. Here's what I ate.

B: coffee with 1/2 & 1/2 and 2 melba rounds
L: Lemon Mustard Broiled Chicken with cucumbers & an apple
D: steak & carmalized onions with an apple

I also had small bite of a no bake peanut butter pie at work yesterday so I skipped my 2nd serving of melba rounds. I have a weekness for peanut butter. TOM is still around too and I'm experiencing some hunger. My stomach was actually growling yesterday, so by dinner I really didn't want the fish and spinach meal I had planned. I wanted something more substantial, so I had steak instead. I got my 2 liters of water yesterday and 2 cups of tea so I had plenty of liquids.

I've taken a page out of biz's book lately and started to make sure I eat dinner by 7pm at night. I normally go to bed at around 10 or 10:30 & I used to eat as late as 9 or 9:30. I think it's really helped my weight loss. I've had way better losses since starting that practice. Thanks again biz.

In response to yesterday's comments:

Bizinator! - I need to get a head start... You're gonna blow me away on the next P2! I just have to try excercising. I miss the feeling it gives me afterwards. I'll keep you posted in how it works out though. Thanks for stopping by. I know you must have been so busy getting ready to travel.

Mary - I hate when that happens. I try to eat a few of them when I first purchase them. Then I make some of tammy's strawberry viniagrette dressing from a few and then I slice & freeze the rest. With doing that, I haven't had any spoil on my lately. I think the lemon juice in the viniagrette helps them stay fresh longer. I learned from Dr. Oz that lemon juice has anti-oxidents and that's why they keep things from aging.... That's pretty cool.

Ed & Jennifer - Yup... 14 whole months & I thought I was a total failure. At 186 lbs I was still a size 12. I don't think I ever had enough calories on weight watchers. When they changed their plan to account for different body types I got another 8 points added daily, but I had already been going for a year. It was brutal!
Feb 26 will be my LIW & as far as excercise goes, I do The Firm right now and I'm thinking about getting P90X. I also used to go to bally's every saturday for a hip hop dance class. Oh yeah and I can't forget about my strip tease classes at Xpose fitness. The dance classes are the most fun.

Have a great day folks. I think we're getting snow today. Wish me luck!
