Hello friends! I, too, had a kind of rough weekend eating wise. Whenever I'm around my family I tend to overeat. But I could NOT resist the meatloaf, mashed potatoes and broccoli cheese casserole we had for dinner saturday night. Not to mention the french bread and butter. Oh man, it was FANTASTIC. I love going home. However, I did well for breakfast and lunch that day so I think it all evened out. I also have to tell you guys about my triumph Saturday night a bunch of friends and I went to the hookah bar and stood there for a few hours. Afterwards my friends wanted to stop on the way home at mcdonalds. So this was about midnight. Usually I would order something to eat as well, even though I wasn't hungry, just because everybody else was eating and smelled good. But nope! I told them I didn't want anything, and I was really proud of myself Anytime that I can refuse mcdonalds is a big triumph for me, silly as it sounds! Anywho, my scale at home said 181.0 this morning (which is the lowest it's gotten) and the scale at the gym said 183 So my comfort food weekend didn't throw me off! I was stoked! Feeling great today Hit the gym already, and did very well for breakfast and lunch. I ate raspberries, blackberries, and blueberries for breakfast. And for lunch I had "chicken fajitas" which were really just grilled chicken and beans in tortillas.
I did go to the gym, even tho today was a lazy day. I did the bike for 45 min instead of 30. Pretty sweet.
I had another subway turkey sandwich for lunch. I snaked on some veggie crisps and some honey-roasted peanuts. For dinner I got some chicken tenders, dipped them in skim milk and then in crushed cornflakes and baked them. Then I dipped them in hot sauce and ate them with celery :) They were so good! I'm not sure the calorie count, but a I got the idea from a girl on the Phentermine forum who's lost a ton of weight so I don't think they were too bad. I ate 4. Then we had cherry jello with bananas and fat free whipped cream for dessert :) So good.
Not a good day. Well, campus was closed because of the crazy snow we got, so that was definitely good! But no school meant movie day with the roomies, and too much snacks :(
For lunch I ate pork chops, potatos au gratin and green beans. So that was pretty good. Pork chop was small, too many potatoes tho. Got full half way thru. Then I hate a whole bag of beef jerky (Only really 240 calories, so not so bad) and almost all of the rest of my veggie crisps. Probably another 200-300 calories there too. Then for dinner I ate subway. Which was good actually. I also had a fat free chai latte from starbucks :( it was NOT good and a TOTAL waste of calories. Ugh I shouldn't have gotten it. I took a bite of a brownie and threw the rest away, and a mini peanut butter cup. And some nerds. Man, I feel really bad. And it wasn't even bad stuff that I ate! Oh, and a bunch of watermelon. Bleh. My scale said 187 :( this morning it said 183. I HAVE to stop weighing myself. UGH.
Hopefully i'm just bloated. I ate a whole lot of sodium. I was probably about 100-200 over my calorie goal, so not so bad I guess. I've already had 2 bottles of water, on my 3rd, so maybe tomorrow i'll be okay again.
Darn you weather! Make us all want to lay around and snack!
For breakfast I had an odwalla banana nut bar and a sugar free red bull (boo I know, but i was so tired!) and a smart water.
Lunch was a delicious turkey sub from subway with almost all the veggies and red wine vinaigrette and baked lays. It was great! I've gotta stop eating at subway for lunch, tho, and use what's rest of my meal card first lol $12 in two days on lunch. Unfortunately I only have 26 of meal card left until friday. And everything in that damn cafe downstairs is so expensive! I guess i'll just have to eat more subway, at least until my meal card resets for the month. It's okay, i love it :)
I just got out of the gym. I did 30 min on the elliptical. And I did the machine's preset 'weight loss' set. It was 4 minutes on resistance 1, then 4 on resistance 8 repeated for 30 min. It was pretty hard! Usually I just set my own resistance, but this one pushed me. I thought I was gonna die for the 4 min higher resistance and I wanted to lower it so bad, but I stuck it out. Then when it went back to 1, all was dandy and I forgot about all the pain for 4 minutes haha.
BUT I caved. I weighed myself at the gym. I've told myself i'm going to make fridays my weigh in days so I don't drive myself crazy, but I couldn't resist! I just had to see my weight on a real, doctor-style scale so I can see how right my new digital scale is. AND, great news! Down 3 lbs! Woo!! My scale at home said the same thing last night, so now I know I can trust it. 3 lbs in 5 days is fantastic.
I was really starting to get worried. I keep asking myself, what if I do all of this and it doesn't work like last time? What if I spent $120 on starting pills and I wasted my money? My dr. said that in order to stay on the program and get the pills I have to lose at least 4 lbs a month. I'm so relieved that I've already done it, and now all I can do is overshoot my goal. I know it's working, and I'm so motivated to keep going!!
Dinner was kind of a struggle today. The dinner special was chicken fried steak, au gratin potatoes and veggies. I couldn't justify eating something that had fried in the name, especially after doing so well today. The pizza also looked soooo good. But instead I got a turkey burger. It was pretty good. I also got some baked veggie crisps cheddar flavored. They were good; tasted like regular chips. I got full half way thru the burger but kept eating it because I know I need to eat at least 1200 calories. I'm not doing all of this sacrificing just to get my body in starvation mode to start saving all my fat. Pretty pleased with myself. Ate 1275 calories today and burned off at least 355. The machine said 355, but daily plate said 410. Either way, I burned more than I ate which is the point right? I did go over my sodium goal tho. Not by a terrible amount. Just 102.29% of my daily value. I'll be bloaty, but overall today was a good day!
i'm feeling great today! When I weighed myself this morning the scale said 184! That was naked, granted, but still great! Yesterday evening I opened the new scaled and weighed myself and it said 186. I really hope it's right, because my doctor's scale on Thursday said 190. And the scaled at my mom's house said 186 right when I got there, but then my dr in Pueblo's scaled said 190! I'm just going to trust mine. Even if it's not the same as my doctor's, i'm still down 2lbs from last night. I know it's bad to weigh yourself everyday because it varies too much, but i'm just too excited!!
Today all i've eaten is a sweet onion chicken teriyaki sub and baked lays from subway. It was very good. I thought I was still going to be hungry after lunch, but I got full before I even finished the chips. It was great. I really wish I had enough money to eat subway everyday for lunch. It would be so much easier, and so much tastier than the salad bar downtstairs!! I don't look forward to eating salad at all. Hopefully there will be a good dinner special, something with good meat and lots of veggies. I've still got 1,000 calories to go for the day, so I guess dinner will be good either way!
