Day 67: Ate Out Twice In One Day!

Exercise: Worked very hard at Ballys. Ellipical for 30 minutes, weights for 25 minutes, walked 1.25 miles on treadmill.

Forced to eat out due to lack of planning and circumstances! I'm at a strange moment in time. The desire to eat out has lessened greatly. Didn't really want to eat out the second time today and shockingly, my unnatural cravings for Dr. Pepper have subsided.

Was working off-campus at another school today. Took plenty of healthy snacks. I arrived at the Middle School to find what else, but candy on the tables. I ate some. Then I ate my carrot. Also ate my almond butter sandwich, but was still so hungry. We were grading the entire school districts 4th grade writing practice tests so I needed more food. Starving close to 1pm. Made a Whataburger run, which was conveniently located nearby.

Breakfast: 2 blueberry whole grain waffles with walnuts and blue agave. (no eggs in the house!)
Snack: small package of peanut M&Ms, one lifesaver, a whole carrot
Lunch: almond butter sandwich
2nd Lunch: Whataburger with cheese, small fries, WATER
Dinner: 1/2 a pear or less, salad, way too much PIZZA.
Late Night: munched on toffee chips from when I made desserts last couple days. The horror.

My husband surprised me with a Groupon worth $10 for pizza so I felt like I really had to eat the pizza, but I didn't really want to. I was just happy we were going out though. 

Not looking forward to the scale tomorrow!

Day 66: Crazy Desserts @ Work!



None for me. 

Look
Smell
Don't Touch!

That is my motto! Treats will be unceasing for the next several days. The temptation is huge.

Went to Los Tios Mexican Restauant with the staff after work. Ate lots of chips and queso.


Dinner: broccoli, corn,
brown rice, chicken


Exercise: About to do some mountain climbers, jumping jacks, push ups, sit ups and bear crawls in the living room. Too cold and damp to head to the park.

Later...so I never did any exercises!

Day 65

Exercise: None Today

Breakfast: 2 corn tortillas, one boiled egg, green tea
Snack: applesauce, raspberry tea
Lunch: Leftovers from last night
Snack: Visited a friend. She made me a delicious "trash treat." Ate it on my drive home.
            It has some sort of cocoa powder mixed in and tasted peanut butterie.
Dinner: Not too hungry. I wonder why!! Darn treats. Ate the same as breakfast and a pear, water.
Sort of want a burger now late at night as I watch the Biggest Loser.

Need to cook lunch for tomorrow, but really feel like just going to bed early!


From last night: Same for lunch, but less and a few bites
of pasta with tomato, spinach and bit of canned chicken.



Day 64: Made More Holiday Treats

Exercise: Bally's arm, back, abs. Some cardio, but still can't run.  : (

Breakfast: The fiber cereal
Snack: no time
Lunch: pasta with chicken, mixed greens with tomato and carrots, pear

Dinner: Broccoli, asparagus, sweet
potato, mixed green with chicken.

Day 63: My Christmas Desserts and More...See Pics

These are my sisters. Mine are made
with spice cake and have cream cheese
frosting. Can use carrot cake too. Brown frosting
makes more sense than white though. 

I ate so much of the dessert ingredients while making the goodies that I felt sick! Too much sugar gives me a headache. One would think that would be a deterrent, but it isn't. I was again one pound from my goal weight and totally sabotaged it tonight!

Trash Cookies: chex mix cereal, pecans,
pretzels, almond bark (white chocolate)

chocolate fudge with walnuts

Recipes:

Exercise: Bally's. Some weights and 15 minutes run. Left side of leg at knee really hurting. Can't even do lunges without feeling pain. 

Running Plan: Stop running for 3 weeks to improve. The horror! Really disappointed. Will focus on the gym and eliptical machine until Christmas. Will miss the park!!

Breakfast: 2 corn tortillas, boiled egg, green tea, 1/2 pear sliced
Lunch: Went to Georgia's Farm Market: see pics below.
Snack: All the dessert ingredients. No control.
Dinner: Home at 8:30pm. Too hungry to cook: Ate what I had for breakfast again.

Lunch at Georgia's...buffet

Lunch at Georgia's.
Also had a small piece of carrot cake,
cranberry tea, and a small piece of bread. 

Day 62: ALERT! The Cereal Causes .........!!

How do I say this? Hmmmm, I'll just say it. Beware of the new cereal I bought. It causes all day GAS and a bloating feeling. I guess they are right when they claim you will feel full. I still feel uncomfortable the next day.


Ate cereal yesterday morning
and the night before as a small
snack.


Today:
Breakfast: Back to my same ol' 2 corn tortillas, one boiled egg, green tea



Out of spinach so I used mixed greens.
Also always put a bit of olive oil and a
little salt since we don't really eat much
salt.

Craving a hamburger so I made my own.
Lunch: hamburger: patty, cheese, mixed greens, red onions, olives. (no dressing). whole grain bread.
no sugar hot chocolate with vanilla soy milk.

Snack: lollipop from the haircut place. Great Clips...always $13.99. Why spend more?
Dinner: Salad: asparagus, sweet potato, greens, 1/2 avacado, walnuts, chicken, fetta cheese, olive oil and spices. 1/2 small orange.
No sugar hot chocolate with vanilla soy milk.


Dinner



Day 61: Ate The Cereal/Holiday Snacks

Exercise: Walk/jogg 3 miles at Memorial Park later this evening. More walking. My leg is acting funny. My entire shin bone seems to ache a bit when I run. Could it be a tiny stress fracture? Am I becoming a hypochondriac concerned about injuries all the time?? What's with that!!??


Breakfast: Yes, I ate the cereal after all! Vanilla soy milk and raspberries.
Snack: small orange, too many Ritzs crackers

Lunch: 1/2 almond butter sandwich, lentil soup from yesterday, Greek yogurt with 1/2 a pear, raspberry tea
Snack: too many Ritz crackers
Dinner: Before our run: cup of lentil soup, 2 corn tortillas with cheese (yikes).
              Late Dinner: sweet potatoes, 1/2 salmon, asparagus (bought lots of asparagus!)


Yummy snacks for the staff. Only had
1/2 of a piece of brownie cake.

Late Dinner. If I eat too
early I tend to eat again.
Need to get better at my
snacks after work
