One of the best things about Monday's is the fact that it is not only a brand new day, but a brand new week. Which is a great day to start over, a clean slate for the entire week. Today i've done pretty good. I had chicken chili at Jasons Deli <--less than a cup, 4 oz of low fat ice cream, 70 calories worth of blue bunny bars, 1 Jenny Craig desert. All in all i'd say I had 700 calories at most today. I typically don't crave sweets as much as I have been lately though. Tonight I will eat a Jenny Craig dinner that is less than 300 calories and i'll be at my 1000 calories for today. I am posting this really early because it is typically late at night that I lose it and begin eating whatever I want. This is kind of my accountibility or dedication thread. I have ensured my success with not having any easily snackable foods in the house.

I currently weigh 165.

Tonight I will not eat after 7 oclock, that is my mini goal (my very mini goal) It is my hope that I can lose at least 5 lbs this week by not eating after 7. I will have to be careful though. I know that I am very bad about either having WAY to many calories or not enough. This week I will eat breakfast, lunch and dinner, snack and desert and hopefully stay within the 1000 mark.

Breakfast - 200

Lunch - 250

Dinner - 300

Dessert - 170

Snack/buffer - 100

I am very proud of myself thus far. I started off at 216 and am now at 165. That means that I have lost 51 lbs with 20 more to go. If I work at it I know I can make goal by the end of November (my one year bandiversary).

I feel confident that I can do this. I will get through this week and then formulate a plan for the weekend. Which I typically find the most difficult part to get through.
