I nearly ate the can too!
Had a bit of a thing with some chocolate cashews. Sure I was experiencing some emotions, but I knew I was and the chocolate cashews were just there. Oh they should not have been here, but they were. Anyways, it was not out of control. I think looking back it was more like defiance and they just tasted good. I think I was feeling bad and felt like I was entitled (yes Rhonda, entitled) to it. What a lesson! I do not think they were so good as to “mess up” the week. Well I know, no long term harm because I am back at it today…. good reasonable eating and exercise. I know, I know, I have at least one buddy who will be thinking, what, how many did she really eat??? Well over the course of the day, I ate about 350 grams *looks at the can*. Well, no use crying in my soymilk. Nope nope nope!!!
Today I am going to record my intake on this post just because I can and I will post it after work. I have to plan my day because of work, so why not make it a good one. Tomorrow I am weighing in and that is that.
Hope everyone has had a great few days. All the best to you this weekend. THANK ME (and Ms. Fiesty always) for committing to the forum. Love that place!
My Friday intake:
Breakfast: 1/3 c oatmeal, 1/2 c unsweetened soymilk, 1 apple, green tea, vitamins (4 pts)
30 min. elliptical, 50 min. pilates
Snack: 1/2 c. plain fat free yogurt, celery (1 pt.)
Lunch: raw veggies, 1/2 c. brown rice & lentils, 2 tofu dog & salsa, 1/2 can of salmon, 10 g. dark (85% chocolate),Matcha tea (11 pts)
Snack: 1/4 c. roasted soybeans, 1 T. chorella, 1 oatmeal raisin cookie (6 pts)
Supper: 1/2 c. green peas, 1/2 c. sweet potato (plain), 3 oz. tuna - all with lemon and pepper, raw veggies, 1/2 c. yogurt w/ 1/2 c. blueberries, cinnamon, dash of stevia. (6 pts)
Ca/Mg/vit D. & water
According to Weight Watchers at this weight I am to have 22 pts as my goal per day (not counting the extra points). Well for my activity level this is too low. Usually I do well with 24-30. Well today, I was a good girl and had 28 (under 1500 calories). This is amazing with all the strength training I have been doing. Tomorrow I weigh in and we shall see. I will likely also weigh in Monday for the usual shits and giggles
Hehe.. Life is good ![]()
Don’t feel bad, just pick yourself up and move on. We all have our bad moments we just keep on going.
Nope don’t feel guilty, a little regretful and full of energy for a freaking fantastic day!
Chocolate covered cashews. Now I’m drooling. LOL
Maybe Mr. George’s fault? That’s usually the case with me. *sighs*
I indulged a bit yesterday too, and I KNOW that’s why I did it. I wasn’t hungry. I just wanted…
Now why is it that when I can back down to goal weight I think I can afford to do something like that? It’s not like I didn’t have healthy snacks at work. I just decided I wanted…
But, we just pick right back up and continue with our healthy journey, we do not “worry” ourselves sick over it, and just get on with life. It’s when we just say “oh jeepers I’m ruined now” and get off our healthy path to completely get lost in the unhealthy forest that we are in trouble.
Now send me some of those cashews will ya? hehe…
Huggggggggggggggs,

Jen, you know me and I am not going to judge you for how much you ate ! You’ve already done what I always suggest to do dust off, and get right back on track ! Keep your head up and keep fighting ! Your buddy, Kimmi
Boy, that entitlement thing can be a killer!!! I agree with everyone else, though. Just say, gee whiz, those were great cashews. Then move on. And have a completely fantastic day today!!! Love you!!!!!
Rhonda
Lord they sound good, and I don’t even care for chocolate that much! LOL, well, I have been tempted too. Haven’t given in too much yet, been wondering if I am entitled, too. That’s a new one on me. Good job in getting right back on plan, you be awesome!

Good job picking up and moving on. Good luck at weigh in tomorrow!
sorry to hear that the defiance won out. i’m so all over that defiance thing and the entitlement - those are HUGE for me (and now my belly LOL). glad to see you noticed and moved ahead. happy weekend!

Thats cute Jennifer…shits and giggles..LOL!! Love it. You sound happy, and yup life is GOOD!!
Your so precise at your food journaling, I’m going to take lessons from you. Seeing it on paper like that really seems to make you aware of EVERYTHING you eat!!
Thinking…thinking…Yum..LOL!! any nut covered in chocolate sounds good right about now!!!
Have a good weekend Jennifer!!
