Stressed Out

Weigh in was good. I lost 1.5 lbs. this week. However, gave in to stress and didn't do so well with my meal plan. Not so much with my meals, just with snacking. I found myself eating potato chips and french onion dip (a definite no no). My kids were giving me fits and I sometimes don't know how to handle the chaos, so I eat or drink. Oh, I did that too. In fact I am drinking an appletini right now. I am not swimming in guilt right now, but I bet in the morning I will. Think about it. What kind of eater are you? Happy eater, sad eater, angry eater, etc? We need to find a way to change this. Why is it when I am within 12 wks of a show I can refrain, but not now? Grrrrrrr!

  1. So I'm curious about the weight loss - do you have a certain amount that you need to lose for the competition? It seems like you're mainly cutting calories to lose weight, but I know you're burning some during your workouts. Based upon your 1.5 lb loss this week, you averaged burning 750 calories more than you consumed. Do you have a certain daily calorie limit that you go by, or a target number for each meal, or something else? I've been trying different things and would be interested in what works for you.
