I’m having 3 Eggo pancakes for breakfast. Almond butter and Ritz crackers for breakfast. Goldfish crackers for a snack. And chicken and corn for dinner.

I’m going to try to eat goldfish for breakfast. Chicken and corn for lunch. And 3 pancakes and 2 waffles for dinner. I may not be able to eat anything but peanut butter and crackers again. Why did that old therapist have to tell me to eat those when I can’t eat anything else.

I had a Pepsi and an apple for breakfast. A can of corn and a can of tuna for lunch. A Skinny Cow ice cream bar around 1. 2 pieces of cauliflower pizza around 2. And a Coke Life at 4. Dinner was going to be a can of green beans to put me right at 1200 calories but I’m really tired and thinking of skipping it.

I'm doing this blood type diet so, since I'm O+, I have to have meat every so often so organic, grain feed beef hamburger with cheddar for dinner. Ran 4 miles on the track at 26:07. AbRipper X. 128lbs.

I had a couple apples and a Coke for breakfast. Lunch is going to be 2 pieces of cauliflower crust pizza. I’m going to have a Skinny Cow ice cream sandwich for a snack. And then dinner is going to be a can of tuna and a can of corn.

Five mile road run. AbRipper X. Weed whacked half the big yard. I think that counts. My arms were jello after. :P 127lbs.

I haven’t eaten anything yet. I’m not very hungry. I’ll try to eat the usual canned chicken and corn. I’m running out of both but I have some tuna coming today and I have some green beans.

I ate walnut whip chocolate and 2 jam doughnuts today,no actual meals so far.That's very bad.I have not been losing weight either only think I have managed is not to gain weight!Terrible I am meant to be losing weight.

Walked about 2.5 miles with the dogs today, then 45 minutes on the bike trainer this evening and some stretching. Diet was okay aside from crackers I snacked on and a little bit of frosting I snuck. I threw the frosting out so it won't tempt me anymore. I'm trying to get back on a stricter diet for now and fewer treats. It feels weird to watch to try and lose weight during this time, but if I don't at least try to keep from gaining, when this is over I'm going to be in an even worse mental state. Going to start checking in every day here.

I've gained 30 pounds since I last posted here. I stopped eating well and started consuming more carbs. Things are really out of control. I am on WW and trying to log my food. Some days are better than others. Exercise is hard now that I have gained so much weight.

Managed to ride the bike trainer for 45 minutes again today. Also managed to add an additional mile walk this evening, so that's a total of about 4 miles walked today.

Managed to keep a well balanced diet but I am kind of needing something for a snack before bed here. It doesnt help I had a cocktail with dinner and those damn empty calories will surely come back to bite you in the butt, wont they?

I just keep putting one foot in front of the other and doing the best I can with each meal. It's all I can do. Even small progress is progress.

Day on the range in the blazing sun. Running with gear. Climbing with gear. Crawling with gear. Then, I had to put on the gas mask. Yay. I was a puddle of sweat after. 124 lbs.

I finished off my cauliflower crust pizza for breakfast. I’m going to have some waffles in a little bit. Then tuna and an apple for lunch. Dinner is going to be an Amy’s TV dinner and a can of asparagus. 1,210 calories total for the day.

I got my heart rate up while doing physical therapy. I also ate better than I have been eating. I hope all of it helps.

Oh, my arms were so sore from yesterday. I have a bruise on my right shoulder from the rifle recoil after 500 rounds. Easy warmup jog. One mile run on the soft track @ 5:57. Easy five mile road run. AbRipper X.

Lemon muffin for breakfast. Protein shake for lunch. Salad and yogurt for dinner. 126 lbs. Nursing my bruised shoulder.

I did a few walks so a few miles yesterday and I rode my bike for about 30 minutes. I ate mostly well until the evening and I was still eating healthy foods I just ate too much. That's okay, still progress forward.

I did PT today and it wore me out. My bad shoulder is very sore. Tylenol is helping. I got a good work out. I also ate well.
