Sunday---

I'm sorry about no post yesterday. Lots of different things happening and just didn't get any time to get on my computer. I'm back though and am starting something different today. I want to start tracking again hardcore. I'm going to do the old Weight Watchers plan and calorie count. My weight is up the past 2 weeks and I know it's because of my portions.

I didn't answer your question about the chips. They are called Eatsmart Naturals. They're made by the Snyeder's of Hanover people. They're made with whole yellow corn, canola oil, rice flour, sesame seeds, brown flax seeds, chia seeds, quinoa flakes and sea salt. They still have 19g of carbs per serving though. They were really good. I guess they have different flavors. I just bought the sea salt variety to go with my nachos.

I also found this dark chocolate almond spread. It has about the same nutritional value as pb except it's a little less calories and fat. I tried it on an english muffin last night and it was awesome.

I went to try out those food trucks on Friday night and 40 state officials came to shut down every establishment by 8:30. There were 5 different agencies there. Needless to say that's a tad bit scary how much opposition food trucks seem to be encountering lately. I'm going to try and call the mayor again tomorrow to make sure he knows this happened and if there's going to be a solution.

Also, in other news I ended it with that guy. I guess I could have saved myself time and done it last Monday when I was talking about it. Yesterday he asked if he could take me to dinner and then he sorta invited himself over here first. I had stuff to do so I asked if we could meet somewhere. He said just let him know and that he owes me dinner and he feels bad. So I went and ran my errands and an hour and a half later texted him and told him I was finishing up and if he had a place in mind. Didn't hear from him so I started taping off my dining room (I painted my dining room/kitchen last night) and then I hear his motorcycle pull up. He came in and I was sorta upset that he just showed up. I just wanted to meet him somewhere. So anyway I finished taping and asked if he knew where he wanted to go for dinner.There was a silent pause so I turned to look at him and saw it on his face...I asked if he already ate and he said yes, because he was hungry and didn't know how long I would take. So what in the hell? You come over when I basically say not to and it's not even to take me to dinner. You ate without me! I just told him that we weren't doing this tonight and that I was going to get dinner and paint my wall...Alone. I just can't stand people being inconsiderate like that. Don't ask someone to dinner and then eat without them. If you're going to do that at least have the decency to tell them that that's what you're doing. So anyway, he's gone now. Back to simple life.

Breakfast: English muffin (1), dark chocolate almond butter (2), banana(2), skim milk (2) = 7 points = 381 calories

I think I got all the truck stuff caught up last night except for insurance and paint quotes. I will try and call at lunch so this weekend I don't have anything to worry about. I feel like I'm back in school with a ton of homework. It's weird and I really haven't missed this feeling, haha. I know it will be worth it I just need to get past the first year. What a learning process though.

Thursday

Today's one of those days where I just can't seem to get things right!  Forgot my phone at home.  Missed an appointment! Arg, the list goes on!


  • breakfast: coffee, bacon, apple with PB
  • lunch: low carb mac and cheese, protein bar (terrible lunch, but I just grabbed it on the way out and I was already 20mins late!)
  • dinner: crab cakes with balsamic reduction dipping sauce, roasted white baby carrots, roasted yellow squash

Thursday

Breakfast: Breakfast sandwich & chocolate oat bar - still starving. Maybe I need more protein and less processed stuff. I bought the breakfast sandwiches bc I knew I'd be super busy this week. I will cook breakfast next week.

Lunch: ??? Work is providing. We are having a lunch and learn over estates today. Get excited.

Dinner: ??? No idea. I need to get a lot of truck stuff done so probably nothing fancy.

Activity: Zumba...really looking forward to this today.

I got 9 hours of sleep yesterday!!! Hallelujah.
