Well I was expecting it to be much worse. I ate lunch at North Acres and they had ham, green beans, corn, roll, m. potatoes and a piece of chocolate cheese cake.
Then I went to the jewerly party and Denver had the little roll up bacon and wieners, chips, p. cheese on buns, veg. tray, fruit tray, cookies etc. I really didn't eat a lot and ate no sweets but it was still more than I needed.
Then the worse thing was that Barbara brought a loaf of homemade sourdough bread straight out of the oven. Now that is my down fall. Sooooooooo good with a little real butter. So no wonder I was up 1/2 pound.

Tuesday April 21 - Lost 2.75
Good loss for yesterday but I don't know how today will be. I keep having all of these opportunities to eat. I have been invited today to go to North Acres senior gathering and Barbara and I are going so that will be an eating opportunity. Then tonight I have been invited to Denvers for a premier jewerly party and she said we would have lots of refreshments. So there you go. Then tomorrow it is lunch at Austins with the Hillcrest gals and supper at O'Charley's with June and Phyllis. We had to change our day this week. So it looks like there is just no hope for me unless I get really strong and have a lot of self control. I wil have to watch the Biggest Losers tonight for some inspiration.
Breakfast: cup of hot tea, 1 boiled egg , 1 piece of toast, 1 banana.

MONDAY - GAINED 1 POUND
This picture is what I had for supper
3 oz chicken, 1 C beans, 1 C carrotts, med apple.
OK.....This has gone on long enough. I am up a total of 1 pound since last Monday and I had more of an excuse last Monday because it was the day after Easter. Today I have no excuse. I have been on the internet exploring different weight loss diets and there are hundreds of them. But they all come down to the same thing in losing weight. Take in less calories than the amount of exercise that you put out. This has always been the way it is. If you only take in 1200 calories a day and sit in a chair and read all day there is no way you are going to lose any weight. I have got to move the head knowledge to the heart. I did find a diet called the three day diet that gives you a jump start on dieting and I am going to try that for three days. The foods were simple and I have most of them already. They stress that it is not recommended for more than three days. It is low in calories but what I like about it is that it is spelled out for you and you don't have to worry about what to eat. So here goes. Listed at the end are the allowed substitutions.
Breakfast: Black coffee, tea or water with sweet & low or equal (I am going to have hot English Breakfast tea with splenda in it.) 1/2 grapefruit or juice (I am going to have the grapefruit) 1 slice toast with 1 Tbsp Peanut butter.
Lunch: 1/2 cup of Tuna, 1 slice toast,(I will probably do crackers instead of the toast) Black coffee or tea with sweet & low or equal
Dinner: 3 oz any lean meat, 1 cup green beans, 1 cup carrotts, 1 cup vanilla ice cream,(If I go to the store I will probably do the yogurt instead of the ice cream) 1 medium apple, Black coffee, tea or water with sweet & low or equal.
You can use lemon, salt and pepper, mustard and cooking spray.
You can also substitute orange instead of grapefruit, tuna instead of cottage cheese or vice versa, frozen yogurt instead of ice cream, cauliflower instead of broccoli and vice versa, green beans instead of broccoli or cauliflower, beets instead of carrots, toast instead of 5 crackers or vice versa.
Anyway I think I can do this for three days. The menu is different each day but nothing that is real expensive or hard to get. I'll let you know tomorrow if I stuck with it today.
Well I did stick with it today. Besides the plate at the top of the picture, I also had the cup of vanilla ice cream. So far it has not been bad. The worst thing was the tuna I had for lunch. I couldn't eat but about 2 oz of it but I got some white albacore when I went to the store so it should be much better.

Monday April 13th. Gained 1.50 pounds
I feel absolutely miserable today. My head hurts, my eyes hurt, I feel hung over from all the food yesterday. Nothing to do but start again. Soooooooo.......
Breakfast: 1/2 grapefruit 41 calories, 1 cup Special K 120,(I had been counting it 110 but I noticed on the box it is 120) 1/4 cup milk 30, 3 pieces oscar mayer bacon for 105. I usually only eat 2 pieces of bacon but James fixed me 3 and I didn't want to make him not ever fix me any again. So because of that I left off the toast. So I ended up with a total of 296 for breakfast. I need to get in a little exercise today.
Lunch/supper: James made a homemade pizza and I figured up the calories and the whole pizza had 2000 calories. We cut it in 6 pieces so that made it approx 335 a piece. I ate 1 & 1/2 pieces for approx 500 calories.
Snack: I had 11 sour cream & onion Orville whats his name pop corn mini cakes. They were very good for 60 calories and I had a cup of choc 60 calorie pudding with 15 calorie redi whip on it for a total of 135 calories for my snacks.
So that makes a total of 931 calories for the day . Just in case I miscounted on the Pizza I will call it 1000 for the day. But I have done no exercise. My knee is hurting today and I havent' done much.

TRUE CONFESSION
Who am I trying to fool? My self or everybody else. I am not truly dieting. I have dieted enough to know when I am truly dieting and when I am just fooling around and sliding by. I have not had any hunger pains, I have not walked or exercised until it hurt. I have not went to bed one night hungry. I have not cut out my sweets. I am still eating more than anyone else at the table. Who am I trying to fool? surely not myself because I know myself better than any body else does. So Sue get real and get with it. Go to bed hungry, go back to walking, experience some real hunger pains. Quit sneaking the Easter candy and the homemade chocolate sauce. Quit eating 2 rolls when you go out, go back to the take home box with half of your food in it. Quit being a fool and get with it.
Tuesday Lost 1 pound
Well thats better than gaining.
Breakfast: James fixed sausage and gravy and biscuits so I ate some of that but not a whole lot so I think I am ok. Probably won't eat anything else until I go out with June and Phyllis for supper.
Lunch/supper: O'charleys, my usual, steak 7oz. Baked pot with sc and butter, salad with ranch and 2 rolls. We also got the twisted chip appeitezer and I ate some of it.
Snack: 1 bowl of Ice cream with choc sauce.
Not a real good day but I'll have to take what I get in the morning.

Calorie counter information
I went on the Calorie Counter Site that Byron had on his blog and here are my goals as determined by them. My goal should be 131 pounds I should eat 1250 calories per day and I would reach my goal by June 24th 2010. WOW..................
Friday - lost 1 pound for a total of 3.50
I am pleased with the 1 pound this morning. Today I am going to Clinton with Barbara to Hammers and then we are going to eat somewhere. Hopefully somewhere I can eat something good for me. More later.
Breakfast: 1 cup special k 110, 1.4 cup milk 30, 1 med banana 105. Total of 245 for breakfast.
Lunch/Supper: Ate at Chili's with Barbara and Brenda. Chips and salsa, two chicken tacos, rice, black beans, diet coke. Sour cream. I just found the calorie count for this meal at Chilis and the total is 1200 not counting the chips and salsa which is 480 for the chips and salsa. We had a refill on it so I guess I ate most of one serving by myself. So I probably had a total of 1680 for the meal. NOT GOOD!!!!!
Snack: 1 peanut butter cup 40
I don't plan to eat anything else tonight. I probably won't be down any tomorrow because of the meal at Chili's especially the chips and salsa but sometimes you just can't help it.

Wednesday - lost 1/4 pound
Not good but I will take it. I knew it wouldn't be good but I am glad not to have a gain. Today is another struggle. I go out on Wednesdays with my friends from Hillcrest. We always go to Austins and that is a hard place to diet. I am going to have to be very careful. More later.
Breakfast: 1 cup special k 110, 1/4 cup milk 30. Total 140 calories for breakfast.
Lunch: Went to lunch at Austins with my friends from Hillcrest. I had 1/2 of an 8 oz sirloin, 1/2 baked potato with sc and butter. 1 trip to the salad bar where I tried to get a lot of lettuce and not a lot of other stuff. Tbs of thousand island drsg. Tea with s&l. NO ROLLS!!!!!!!!!!!!
I went to Hillcrest to walk and I made one lap. My hip has been hurting when I walk so I was afraid to go any further.
Thursdays are bad also because James and I go out for breakfast before we go get groceries.
I don't plan to eat any more tonight unless it is just a snack.
I did have an 8 oz glass of V8 juice for 50 calories.
