whoopsie

Forgot to post yesterday. Mainly cause I like to post at the end of the day, and I had an old high school friend visiting until late last night.

So yesterday I didn't do great. Skipped breakfast completely. Had a ham and swiss on whole wheat for lunch. Just a tiny smidgeon of mayo. I mean like not even a teaspoon...just enough to make the bread a little moist. Went to the the petting zoo with Kit and my SIL and a friend and their kids and had a picnic lunch there. Water to drink. Then I had popcorn chicken from sonic for dinner. 2 packs of honey mustard sauce. But I passed on the banana milkshake, and their banana milkshakes are REALLY good, so I'm proud of myself for that. I just drank water again. After dinner I took a walk with the girls. I was out for about 45 min, but I didn't walk as fast as I should have. Then before bed i had 10 honey wheat pretzels again. I didn't get my skinny cow ice cream yet. I'm gonna try and get some tonight. I did not get to bed on time last night. My friend Tiff came over and we were up until about 1:30 just reminiscing over yearbooks and talking about life in general.

Today I had a banana for breakfast. I just didn't feel like making a shake. I'm gonna go find some lunch here shortly. I am thinking tuna salad. I know i have to watch how much mayo I put in. I do eat it with multigrain wheat thins instead of bread so that is good. I have dinner at my parents tonight, but they USUALLY cook pretty healthy. I already went for a nice bike ride with the family. Well Tana is in school, but Steve went with me and towed Kit in the little trailer. Def. longer than a half hour. I don't know if it is allergies or what, but I am feeling kinda asthmatic today, so gonna just take it easy. Maybe I can get my mom out for a walk after dinner at her place.

1 day...2 posts

OK so here's what's up for today. I had a fruit smoothie this morning. Then I went and had a really good workout with my trainer Jenny. It's supposed to be 30 min, but it's usually more like 45 of strength training. Then I did 30 min on the stationary bike. Came home had another smoothie for lunch. Honey wheat pretzels for a snack (100 calories) Then boneless skinless chicken tenderloins and a small spoonful of stuffing for dinner. The goal now is not to eat too much before bed. I know I shouldn't have carbs this late, but i'm thinking more pretzels. I think tomorrow I will go get some skinny cow ice cream sandwiches as I hear ice cream is a good bedtime snack cause of certain enzymes in it, and I deserve a treat for being good all day, and ice cream has a fair amount of protien in it. Plus skinny cow is low cal and low fat without using artificial sweetners. I think I would rather give in and let myself have a tiny little bit of sweets that aren't too bad, than go and devour a couple candy bars.

Here we go again

Ugh I fail so much. Up to 247. I swear if I hit 250 I'm just gonna shoot myself. So my goal for this week is 2lbs. Gonna have to do 2 lbs a week if I want to hit my goal for new years. So here's the plan....
1. 30 min of exercise each day. That could be going to the gym or taking a walk, or bike ride or whatever as long as I have 30 min of activity each day

2. Be in bed by midnight each night.

\3. Healthy food choices 3-4 times a day. My trainer wants me eating 4-5 times but I have a really hard time eating in the morning. I went yesterday and bought a protien powder that I'm mixing with almond milk, fresh fruit and ice to make smoothies for 2 meals a day. Gonna try to have atleast 1 healthy snack each day and then whatever i make for dinner. Right now is gonna be tough because we are really broke, and eating healthy isn't cheap. I'm sure there will be a number of pasta nights in there, but I'm going to atleast try for whole wheat pasta.

So there it is. I'm not even thinking about next week right now, I just wanna stick to this plan for 1 week. Then we'll go from there. I think I look too much at the long term and overwhelm myself.
