Monday - Week 8

I'm so sorry it's been two weeks since I last posted. I blame it on Christmas. But I have GREAT NEWS!!....I was measured on Christmas Eve, and I lost 4.5% body fat. My measurments were down everywhere. I was so excited, becasue I still felt like I hadn't lost any weight, so I was stressing out about it! I am down to 18.5% body fat. Yeah!! I still have a long way to go, it's going to take complete discipline (food wise) to get me to my goal!

8:00am - 2 Breakfast burritos (Las Palapas) - I am guessing 300-350 cal each. and coke 1000
cal.

12:15pm - WORKOUT - I did a class and then ran for 1/2 hour afterwards. 850 cal.

2:00pm - Protein Shake 200 cal.

4:00pm - Caramel Corn (great discipline, huh?!) and some christmas candy 500 cal

5:30pm - 1 tuna fish sandwich and 1/2 bag of cheetos 350 cal.

8:00pm - 2 mini (and when I say mini, I mean mini) ice cream cones (have you seen these cones?, they are the size of my index finger) and some strawberry ice cream. 300 cal.

I need to cut back on the sugar...I think I may have developed diabetes. The numbers are right, but the food is not!

Total: 2350 - 850 = 1500

Monday - Week 6

Okay, okay...I know I haven't been blogging my daily stuff but it's because I have been so busy. Plus I am a little disappointed that I haven't lost anymore weight.

I think I know why and I am ready to get up and running (literally) today. I did weigh intoday and I still remain at 135 lbs. But I will say that some things in my wardrobe are fitting me a little better and a little more loosely, so I can't be too upset.

7:30am - 2 eggs on whole wheat toast, 1 oz. cheese 325 cal.

11:30am - 1 black bean and chicken burrito with picco de gallo and lettuce 600 cal.

Monday - Week 5

I am so sad that I have not lost a single pound...a single ounce this week. I remain at 135 lbs. Possible reasons why...

1. I am not eating enough calories. This was the case for the last few weeks, and maybe it caught up with me.
2. I am gaining muscle mass.
3. Maybe I need more protein...maybe my muscles are not getting any bigger (and therefore burning more calories) becasue I have not given them enough protein to repair itself.

6:30am - Apple Cinnamon Waffle 1 whole wheat waffle (70 cal), covered with 1/2 c. applesauce (50 cal.) and sprinkles with cinnamon and 2 tbsp. chopped walnuts (185 cal) and 1 Danactive yogurt drink (35cal) 340 calories

10:00am - banana 85 cal.

11:00am - WORKOUT - I had a personal training session today. Then I ran for 15 min...I was so weak! 765 cal.

12:30pm - Protein shake 170 cal.

1:30pm - chicken salad sandwich with grapes, apples, and 100 cal. Pringles 500 cal.

My favorite bread

I have a favorite bread. It has a lot more fiber than any other bread (6 g. per slice, and 70 cal.) and you can get in a lot of fiber during the day if you have toast for breakfast, and a sandwich later on. I love it. I found my favorite bread at HEB the other day...in a "mini" loaf. It'll be perfect for me and I won't waste any more moldy, unfinished loaves.

I just thought I would share...if you have a favorite food or snack that is healthy and low calorie...I'd love to hear about it! I'm sure everyone else would too!

Friday - Week 4

7:00am - NAture valley granola bar 150 cal.

8:00am - Workout I had a personal training session this morning, followed by a 20 min. run and burned 900 cal.

10:00am - Protein shake 170 cal.

12:00pm - Chick-fil-a chicken nuggets, waffle fries and a coke 850 cal.

4:45pm - Taco bell - 1 bean burrito with no onions, 1 chicken gordita supreme and mountain dew 905 cal.

(My cleaning lady just came today and I am not going to put my kitchen through any meal time with my kids...I have said it before - I'll say it again...I'd rather be fat than mess up the house.)

Grand Total: 2075 - 905 = 1175

Thursday - Week 4

6:30am - Life cereal 200 cal.

8:00am - WORKOUT I ran for 45 min and burned 650 cal.

9:30am - green jello salad (The last of it) 200 cal.

Honestly, I have no idea what I ate today...I just got back from Enrichment where we had a chocolate fountain...don't even ask how many calories. They had plates full of various things to dip in it.

BUt I know I had some pizza before I left and I had rocky road chocolate fudge before that...I think I am going to be serious starting Monday! But I am going to be in big trouble...I have a trainig session tomorrow...and I know I am going to hear it!

Wednesday - Week 4

6:30am - green jello salad 175 cal.

8:00am - WORKOUT I ran for 45 min. and burned 500 cal...and it was up to 650 by the time I got home.

9:00am - protein shake 170 cal.

10:00am - smart foods popcorn 100 cal.

11:30pm - Costco Pizza...what can I say? It's the best, and my kids don't like it. So I have to go when they are at school and I can somewhat enjoy it (I still have Wyatt and Sawyer with me so the joy can only go so far.) I only ate 2/3 of it, and I had some coke...I am guestimating 1000 cal. total.

2:30pm - green jello salad  200 cal

4:30pm - MAccaroni and cheese and fishsticks (I  can't believe I actually ate this stuff...I planned to make my own meal, but when it came down to it, I was too busy.)   650 cal

Grand Total: 2295 - 650 =1645 cal.

I know I can do better than this...I feel like this week my calories have been okay...but I am not eating the right foods.  So I am really going to put my all into it next week, plan out my meals, so when it comes time to make them, I know what it is...and I am going to stay away from making the kids one thing and myself another.
