Well, I guess I do have some kind of self control. Or maybe this lifestyle thing is really starting to click (somehwhat)....let me know what you think.
Breakfast: 1.5c of blackeyed peas with spicy tomato sauce
Lunch: 1c blackeyed peas, 1 turkey sand on wheat with cheese, lettuce, tom, and 1 tsp of miracle whip and 2 pickles. Then here's where it gets bad...2 bowls of cereal (skim milk of course *wink,wink*) one was honey nut cheerios and the other was generic corn pops. Well, not too bad you say? That's not all. I did pretty bad but also kinda pat myself on the back. My sister bought these "kitchen sink" cookies ( an oatmeal raisin chocolate(white and reg),butterscotch chip, coconut cookie) a week ago. There were 8 cookies with 5 other people in the house...I figured they would be gone by now. But nooooo. There it was, one lonely cookie calling me. Nay... entreating me to eat it. And of course, how could I resist? So I ate, but only half. Yay, except that the other half is still here. *sigh* I'm still not done though. I could feel myself starting to spiral out of control as I went for the cheese puffs. It was another sister responsible this time (supposedly for Mav). Back to the cheese puffs, you know the real kind with with the tiger. I love those things. I was about to, Get. It. In. Then, by some inhuman strength of self control I ate 4 cheese puffs. That's right, 4. If that was all I ate for the day, then it wouldn't be so bad. I still had 2 breaks to get through. I didn't eat on the 1st but did eat a snack on the 2nd. Along with numerous sugar free hard candy bc my throat was so scratchy and I forgot my cough drops.
Snack: passion fruit chobani, apple, orange
Dinner: Spicy chicken with potatoes-about 1cup of potatoes and 1/2c chicken
I ate dinner when I got home. The use the term dinner loosely since any of the 3 previous meals could have been dinner.
Anyhow, that' s where my day ended.
Today is a new day and it started out well. I got up at 5 this morning so I could get some cardio in before the powercut class. 20 min on the elliptical ,extra time, woot! Then I had salsa chicken in a low carb wrap(2) with laughing cow cheese. And an orange.
I'm trying to hold off, I kinda stil want something to eat. Oh and the weather here stinks. I want my winter! It's supposed to 66 degrees and sunny today. Tomorrow it gonna be 70. And low 60s the rest of the week. This is why I keep getting sick. I need my cold weather until April . I need to be able to wear my "cover up clothes" until I lose some more weight. At this rate people will be in their swimsuits by mid Feb.
Also, totally have been thinking about my charts but haven't actually done anything yet. The procrastinator in me. Well apparently, I'm chatty cathy today. I guess that's it unless I somehow think of something before work. I'm off to the shower and then get some sleep.
I loooove Chatty Cathy blogs! Dang, rock on with the extra workout time! I think you're right, the lifestyle change is starting to click in. You're gonna eat HALF a cookie and FOUR cheese puffs???? Amazing! That's the exact right thing to do, don't deny yourself, but just have a taste. I always roll my eyes when I see that in magazines, but it's POSSIBLE and you're DOING IT!
ReplyDeleteWe are having freaky weather too! 50's all week, I love it. 70's wouldn't be great though, I'm with you on the cover-up clothes.
P.S. We have until Saturday for the charts, so don't stress out too much YET!
