Saturday

I'm going to try to be really good today since tomorrow we are celebrating my Granny's birthday, and I'm sure there will be cake.

Breakfast: 5.5oz acorn squash With butter (13.95), iced coffee with cream (.92)

Lunch: fajita beef, 1 cup yellow squash (5.21)
Dinner:  Had a really late lunch and am not really hungry for dinner....
Snack: ice cream (16)  so much for being good! 

Saturday July 9th

Breakfast: Peach greek yogurt (3), 1 c. blackberries (0) = 3 points = 202 calories

Lunch: No idea. Mom's picking the place for her birthday lunch

Lunch Edit: Mom wanted to go to the new Italian place in Stillwater. I had a salad with no cheese and light italian dressing on the side (2), and 1/2 of a dish of penne pasta w/olive oil, tomatoes and chicken (11?) and a banana (0) before hand so I wouldn't be so hungry= 13 points = 646

Dinner: Probably something quick. I need to get home and get everything organized and packed for tomorrow.

Dinner Edit: Hummus (2), Lean Cuisine Chicken Fried Rice (7), WW Ice cream bar (4) = 13 points = 480 calories

Total for today = 29 points = 1328 calories. I went over on my calories but I didn't eat one of the Cuppies & Joe cupcakes I got for mom, I didn't have wine or bread at the restaurant, I immediately split my dish in half when I got it so I would only eat half of it so all in all I feel pretty good about today.

I'm off to run and go to bed. I got up at 5:30 because of mom and dad's coffee maker and I'm starting to feel super tired.

I worked out at 11pm to Jillian and I will not do that again. I was tired and it was a lot harder to do the workout. I will go home and run tonight when it cools off a little.

Happy Saturday!

P.S. I'm leaving tomorrow for Chicago until Friday night for Tax Training. I should have my phone with me the whole time and there is a gym in the hotel so I'm hoping that I'll still be able to stick with the plan the whole time. I've already told myself that I will be weighing in on Saturday morning when I get back as motivation to do well while I'm gone.

FRIDAY

SO sorry I fell off the earth!!  I had clinic last night until l0ish and haven't been able to get caught up since!!!

• Breakfast:  bacon and iced tea. 
• Lunch:  low carb mac&cheese (7), tomatoes (3.58), avocado (4)
• Dinner:  steak, grilled squash (3.78), more low carb mac&cheese (7)--I love it too much probably....
• Snack:  pudding stuff (5)

I'm not doing very well today--my  food looks a bit crummy.  Although one thing I did discover this evening--our microwave isn't broke!!  We blew a breaker to 3 outlets in the kitchen and didn't know it!!  Haha, so thankfully we didn't run out and buy a new one yet!

Evening clinic throws me off.  I didn't pack enough food.  And then I had a cookie for dinner.  Yup, a big stinkin cookie.  It wasn't even that good.  It tasted so sickly sweet that I really only enjoyed the first bite, but it was downhill from there.  And it was a big cookie.  It was one of those huge ones from Panera.  But, that's all I really had for dinner, so maybe it'll balance out.  I felt guilty about it though.  Mostly because it really didn't taste very good but I kept eating it anyway. 

Having a pretty good friday though, especially since I came home and napped!  Haha, I love naps.  I was going to work out, but fell asleep for 2 hours instead--I think that was probably needed so I won't feel guilty.  The plan is to do my workout tomorrow morning after I've had a little bit of breakfast and had a few minutes to let it settle.  Maybe something light, like some tomatoes and a slice of ham.

So if you haven't figured it out, I am a huge fan of tomatoes!  Haha, I am in LOVE with the little yellow ones!  I like cherry tomatoes of all sorts, but the yellow ones are SO good right now. 

Friday July 8th

Breakfast: 1 egg w/2egg whites (2), 1 Hebrew national hotdog (1), 1 tbsp salsa (0), 1/2 c. strawberries (0), 1/2 c. blueberries (0) = 3 points = 233 calories

Lunch: Going to lunch with a co-worker. Will try and go someone with some really good choices

Lunch Edit: We went to Big Truck Tacos. I had two Chicken Al Carbon tacos and a diet coke. They put the meat in two corn torillas so I only ate one per taco. The chicken is supposedly marinated in citrus juice so I have really no idea how bad they really are. I'd guess 7 points a taco. so 14 points = 560 calories. I think I'm high but it's better this way than the other.

Dinner: Probably a frozen dinner. Headed to mom and dad's as soon as possible after work and dinner.

Dinner edit: Greek meat(5), tzatziki sauce(1), wheat thins (2), salsa(0), pretzels(2) = 10 points = 445 calories

Total = 27 points = 1238 calories

I'm packing my 30 day shred and weights so I can work out tonight and then I plan on running tomorrow when I get back to the house. I have found that at least having a plan to exercise is what really ends up helping me. If I planned on doing something then I will usually end up feeling bad if I don't.

Have a great Friday dude!

July 7th - Can it be Friday?

Breakfast: 3 eggwhites (1), 1/2 avocado (4), 1 tbsp salsa (0), 1 c. strawberries (0) = 5 points = 273 calories



I decided that I should probably stop eating two full eggs for breakfast. I think if I did one whole egg and the rest egg-whites that would help curb the huge amount of cholesterol. I did just 3 egg-whites this morning though because I do feel a little bad about the things I ate last night so I decided to try and be extra good today. I have a fear of backsliding and I really don't want to do that this time. I also feel though if you don't eat what you want at some point then you will just fall off the truck completely so it's sort of a conundrum.

I also should know better than try and plan exercise for the morning. I set out all my workout clothes, charged my i-phone and got my running plan all laid out last night then I totally slept right through my alarm. I will go home and run tonight. Promise.

Lunch: Amy's light black bean enchilada & rice (6), hummus and broccoli (2), peach and 1/2 c. blueberries (0) = 8 points = 440 calories

Dinner: Asparagus w/1 tsp EVOO (1), grilled zucchini (0), 2 Hebrew National hot dogs(2), hamburger bun (2) = 5 points = 254 calories

Total before desserts and snack = 967 calories = 18 points

Just got in from my run. Did the next step up in the 5k training. 5 walk, run 2 walk 3 and repeat 4 times and then you're supposed to walk another 5 but I walked 2 ran 1, walked 2 ran 1, walked 2. I really like this program. It's not too hard to do but you really feel like you did something after you're through.

I'm going to go eat a vitatop muffin and maybe some hummus and pretzels. Probably best to not eat that at 10:30 but oh well. I was trying to eat all the fruit and veggies in my house since i'll be gone all next week at training so my calories/points were really light all day.

I hope you had a great day! Tomorrow if Friday. Yippee!!!

So proud of you today!  You have an awesome day!  You are making so much progress!

I got up early today and worked out before I got ready for work, and I don't think I am going to be able to do that any more!  I had ZERO energy and didn't have time to eat and digest well beforehand.  I think I am going to have to start working out in the evenings as soon as I get home and before I eat dinner so I actually have energy to do it.  Today was quite sad, I just couldn't get moving at all.  I'm not proud of that workout by any means... at times I just stood there and watched the screen because there was no way I could jump or punch, etc anymore.  Well, now I know!  

You'll also have to excuse my lousy dinner tonight.  Our microwave just crapped out on us last night....not sure what happened there.  I realize I can cook my frozen veggies on the stove, but they always get mushy when I do that.  I may season and bake some cauliflower later once it is a bit cooler outside so I don't heat the entire house.  (Have you ever done that?  It is really good!  I put it on a cookie sheet and season the cauliflower with some garlic salt; then you just bake it until it starts to turn pretty dark on the edges. 45mins? It gets really light and has excellent flavor.  We made it as a snack to replace popcorn one night and fell in love with it! )
