Monday May 21
The weekend was OK. I did not eat on my program, but I did watch what I ate so I was not way off. As normal I put on a few pounds over the weekend from my Friday weigh in, but less than normal. I should point out to you who are reading that I do weigh everyday and the scale goes up and down daily. It just depends on what happened the day before. I could go up from too much salt and liquids, but have actually lost fat that day. What I look for is the trend down overall, not just the day to day weight. Some experts say you should only weigh once a week or every two weeks, since the daily fluctuations can depress a person trying to lose.
Bkfst: raisin bran. Mrn snk: sausage and egg croissant from holiday gas station as I was up at 5am and on the road. Lunch: ham sandwich, pretzels, raisins. Aft snk: more raisins, pretzels. Diner: lamb chops, apple rice, peas. Ev snk: missed.
Exer: none

Ex: 20 min treadmill
I had the day planned but out of the office longer than thought so missed my planned snacks. Still did fairly good watching what I ate, and never felt hungry. I was surprised I had only one hamburger with diner, but I was full and a second would have put me over the top. I have found that when I get too full I feel kind of sick, which is the opposite feeling I was tryings for. So, stop before early and feel better.

Ev snk: bowl of raisin bran. During day 3 pieces of candy.
Ex: 20 min treadmill
Most of the day went real good. Just had a itch for something sweat at 4pm, when I had the carmelcorn. I think part of the issue was I was just a little over tired from a very busy week. Need to make some healthy desert stuff ahead of time, to prevent this type of problem, but I am still very happy with the week so far. Getting back on track to my schedule.
