Diet wise really anyway, its been good. Lots of stress going on. Work drama, and our cat needs a leg amputation... That we don't really have the money for.... So anyway life has been getting in the way for too long. I wanted, no no I NEEDED to get it right today and for the most part, I really feel I did great today!
Breakfast was: Yogurt and 1/2 cup Kashi cereal, coffee w/ cream
Snack was: 2oz beef jerky, protein water, and 48oz plain water
Lunch was: well that 2nd oz of jerky was eatin around lunch time, that was not so good really I had a cat to get, kids to pick up and a play to get to and eating was sort of put on the back burner
I WORKED OUT TODAY! I did 30 min on level 4 easy intervals on the bike at the gym!
we then had a play and by the time it was over I was ready to eat a cow!
We went out to dinner, even though we do not have the money to do so Mexican I felt I did well
DInner was: taco salad w/ chicken fajita meat (ate about 3/4 did not eat the shell) 2 oz or so of chips and a cup or so of salsa, water big glass.
Considering I normally would have had more, it was not bad, and according to my calories I am just under for the day. So I am going to take today as all things considered a good day.

Monday Monday!
Eat less. Move more. Eat less. Move more. I have been chanting this to myself all day long. It worked, partially.
First I will post my plan was to work out with my buddy. I kinda knew she would not actually make it over to my house, and knowing that, I should have went ahead and gone to the gym after work, but... I didn't. She didn't come over, and then life got in the way (or near death, of my cat) and I never did get a workout in today. So that was the bad. It can't be all bad though. Tomorrow I will try to do better as far as 'moving more' goes.
My eating was not spot on. But my calories were below my goal of 1500 Here is a breakdown of my meals:
8am: Coffee w/ cream (2 cups) 1 egg on wheat toast w/ jam
10am: Protein water (30 cal)
11am: Damn breadstick at work those things get me!
1pm: Shrimp scampi (home made leftovers small portion)
4pm: Honey Crisp Apple O M G best apple EVER!!!!!
6pm: Chicken enchiladas made w/ mostly white meat, and corn tortillas LF cheese and sour cream
Oh and somewhere in there go ahead and throw a oreo cookie and 2 mini doughnuts. Yes not the greatest foods but its better than 12 oreos and 6 mini doughnuts right???
I had a buttload of tea, and that protein water. only about 10 oz of actual plain water, and a diet coke. i was stressed with this headache and hubby brought me one and I caved and I drank it.
Tomorrow I hope to have the sweets nixed from this journal and I hope to have some "movement" to talk about! Onward and upward one day at a time.

My pants are loose!
And not for a good reason. Not for a good reason at all.
I had to buy a larger size. yes I am happy that they do not fit me well, they are loose, but I am upset to have to have bought a larger size at all. I swore I was not going to buy the LAST size larger I bought, and now I am up another size again. STOP THE MADNESS! It ends. NOW.
I was looking up online all kinds of things. Drugs to take to help lose weight, diet plans, herbal things... Then I came across a site that gave me the 10 top ways to lose weight. Basically the ways were EAT LESS, MOVE MORE, DRINK WATER, DONT "diet", yeah. Stuff I already know how to do, and have known all along was what I need to do to lose weight. Like I said, I have done this before!!! I can do it again.
So I have a plan in place. I am no longer over complicating things. I am no longer worrying about when I eat, making sure I get in 6 mini meals or extra this or less of that. healthy foods. Smaller portions. Moving more. Simple. Drink water. Simple. I can do this.
My goal, not my ULTIMATE GOAL but my first goal is to be a size 10/12 by my birthday. That is about 4 months away and 2 dress sizes. I think its completely doable and I think if I work REALLY hard that I can exceed my goal, but if I remember the 10/12 size and I remember feeling pretty good there. Average. Not hot and sexy but not fat and frumpy either.
I will use this blog to post my journal for the day and log my workouts. Just for myself to keep myself accountable and to be able to look back and see where I have come.
