A blog for me to track my eating and working out in an attempt to hold myself accountable. Nothing fancy, nothing witty, just a place for me to write things down.
It is 11:52pm…Eight Minutes until 2012…and it’s almost time to say…HAPPY NEW YEAR! Here’s to a year of eating right and working out.
(I know that I haven’t been updating lately…and I haven’t been tracking. I got some GREAT news and am actually moving in four days. Needless to say between getting a new job and prepping a move across the country I have NOT been eating right nor have I been working out. But 2012…I will be better!).
Ok! Time for fireworks!!! XOXO
I wish I could capture the feeling I have right now and remember it the next time I’m “hungry.” I overate like crazy tonight. Well, let me rephrase, I overate tonight. I thought I was hungry so I kept eating…and now I’m at a point where I’m STUFFED and feel sick. Ugh. Tomorrow, light salad and lots and lots of water. Prep time for a HUGE dinner that I’ll have tomorrow.
I use this site to track all of my food and get an accurate count of my calories for the day.
Today I had PT (Physical Therapy) and it went pretty well. Only did about 5 minutes on the bike and 5 minutes on the stair master, but I did a lot of strengthening. Over all a good workout, and not a lot of knee pain.
Okay, so tonight I went a little out of control. I still stayed in my calorie range, but I ate more than I should. Over the past 4 hours or so I have had two lean cuisines, a string cheese, and a nutri-grain bar. NO MORE EATING FOR TODAY! LOL.
So this might sounds silly to most but probably the thing I’m the most proud of in this 72 hour diet would be that I’m not giving into the little cheats! Normally I’ll have a french fry, a mini ice cream cone, something. This time though—no cheating.
So I was a good girl again for yet another meal. Typical employee dining room salad and then some steamed broccoli and a little bit of beef and veggies from the fajita line (NO tortilla). I also had about half of an orange.
So I’m not going to let myself be bummed out that I am now only -1.2 pounds total. The giant weight loss yesterday must have been a fluke—maybe I was dehydrated. Still, I’m down, and that’s what matters. I think from now on I’m only going to weigh myself twice a week. Wednesdays and Sundays. Otherwise I just get too crazy. I’m exited for biggest loser tonight-MAKEOVER WEEK!!!
Well another dinner out for me and I continue to impress myself. Only drank water, and lots of it. Started with a garden salad: lettuce, tomato, cucumbers and a little balsamic vinaigrette. No croutons, no cheese, and obviously no bacon. Dinner was chicken fajitas. I debated not having the tortillas but I couldn’t go that far. Still only veggies and chicken. I’m now full and very happy. Gonna go play some poker and maybe have a glass of diet coke for dessert!
Lunch was a delicious salad from whole foods. Not quite sure of the calories, but it was delicious. I think I’ll try to add up the calories now. Here’s what was in the salad: Romaine lettuce, cherry tomatoes, cucumbers, raisins, craisins, mandarin oranges, green peppers, corn, peas, two eggs and a little balsamic vinegar. No croutons! Victory! (UPDATE: According to live strong.com the salad was approx 516 calories. Halfway through the day!)
