Obviously the foods described in the article are good for you. I eat them all the time, but it is the other stuff I eat that is the problem. Like the 3 flour tortillas yesterday. Come on! If we all ate perfectly every day I guess we would be supermodels. Ha! My issue is learning how to not crave the "bad foods." I could eat butter bread, tortillas, and dark chocolate and ice-cream all day long if I let myself. I'm still dealing with a bit of a cold today and am not hungry at all. It is a strange feeling to not desire food. Sort of boring, but I like not craving all the sugars. Today I eat just because I know I need to eat or I'll get a headache.

Breakfast: one boiled egg, cereal, green tea
Snack: apple
Lunch: peanut butter sandwich on whole grain bread, Greek yogurt with blueberries and raspberries, water
Snack: orange
Dinner: Pei Wei take out again.
Apparently I am using my extra tutoring money to purchase take out foods from restaurants! Starting a bad habit!

Day 134 Valentine's Day

Exercise: Under the weather so not exercising today.

Happy Valentine's Day! Happy I'm a bit sick for once because I didn't desire any of the candy or treats that surrounded me all day!

Breakfast: 1 boiled egg in 2 corn tortillas, green tea
Snack: no sugar hot chocolate with vanilla soy milk
Lunch: glutten free pasta with broccoli, greenbeans and chicken, olive oil and spices mixed in.
Snack: one small chocolate candy

Day 133: Townhome Open House

Exercise: NONE Once again.   : (
Didn't sleep well due to a sore throat. Not feeling too hot, but had to have an open house today. As I baked the cookies for the perspective tenants, I managed to eat 5 or 6 of them again! Yuck.

Breakfast: 2 eggs in 2 corn tortillas, green tea, cereal
Lunch: Not home so we bought some Pei Wei for our lunch at our open house. Asian food, 5 cookies, water
Dinner: TBA Not that hungry. Thinking of having some soup and heading to bed early.

Day 132: Setting Goals Again!

This blog is for Saturday even though the date states Sunday.

Exercise: Finally went to Spin class again. Not feeling 100% today and found it quite difficult. Did manage to stay for 40 minutes though. Burned about 540 calories.

Click on Goal Setting

Speaking of goal setting I didn't do well today!
Had an open house today for the townhome we are trying to rent out. Baked chocolate chip cookies for the perspective tenants. Ate 5 of them! I can see myself slowly slipping back off track. It just creeps up on you! First I stopped exercising several times a week. My excuse is my newly busy schedule. Since I'm not exercising as much, my food choices are not as good. My excuse is that I'm too tired now to cook better meals. I see it happening. I've got to make an effort to do my best and exercise again no matter what! I know I can get back on track! When you fall off, you must get back on right?

Breakfast: 2 corn tortillas, 2 eggs and green tea.
Lunch: peanut butter sandwich, lots of cookies
Dinner: Whataburger! Yep. Starving after our open house. The small hamburger (junior) with small fries and water.
Later that evening: some mixed veggies, water, raspberries.

Day 131 Eating Sweets Again. : (

This is actually from yesterday (Friday)
Exercise: NONE

Off campus at another school for some training all day. That means I wasn't able to take my lunch. Very nice of them to provide lunch for us. I devoured a chick-fil-a sandwich along with the greesy potato chips and calorie filled chocolate brownie. If that wasn't enough, I ate 2 small babyruth chocoate candies later.

Breakfast: 2 corn tortillas with one egg and mixed leafy greens with green tea
Snack: apple slices, water
Lunch: See above.
Dinner: 1/2 salmon, asparagus, 1/2 sweet potato, water
Snack: Pulled out my chocoate frosting and ate a couple spoonfuls. RATS! I should throw that stuff away, but it is my emergency chocolate.  I'm considering throwing it out. Sort of. I want to throw it out. No, not really. I should throw it out, but I really don't want to.

Day 130 Ate An Entire Pizza!

Exercise: Planned on it until after work. Realized I didn't have my workout clothes. Out late so I decided to head to Lowe's and purchase lots of potted plants for our townhome open house this weekend. Home by 7pm, but starving. Not able to workout today. Missed Spin class. : (


Breakfast: 2 corn tortillas with one egg and mixed leafy greens, green tea
Snack: apple slices, 1/2 carrot, handful of cocoa powdered almonds
Lunch: glutten free pasta with canned chicken, chopped tomatoes and chilies, broccoli, water
Snack: peanut butter sandwich
Dinner: An entire thin crust frozen pizza!! 750 calories! I can't believe it. If I had gone to spin class I would have burned almost all those calories! Tired, hungry and just needed to make something easy. Mushroom and spinach pizza.

Day 129 Car Fire At Work!

Exercise: Ran 1.5 miles and walked 20 minutes fast on the tredmill. Burned 292 calories. 

How does a car fire connect with healthy eating? It doesn't, but it is a great story!  : )

I was at car rider duty this morning assisting students getting out of their cars.

A teacher (Kate) in front of me yelled, “There is a fire under that car!” I turned.

In what seemed like slow motion I saw flames under an SUV and kids all the way down the car drive walking towards it. Then we realized all the cars  were stuck, jam packed in line behind the burning vehicle with nowhere to go.

As Kate and I barreled down the car drive waving our arms in the air motioning kids to turn around and get out of the way, the entire front of the car erupted in flames and smoke was bellowing from all directions.

Yelling at students to go in the building through another entrance, I screamed (felt like screaming anyway) on the walkie-talkie, “There is a car on fire in the car rider line! Call the fire department. We need to get the kindergarten kids out of the building!” (which was no more than 3 feet from the car rider wing. There was no response. I could just see people standing in the office trying to comprehend what I just said.

In my mind I envisioned the SUV blowing up with all the kids around! I yelled it again and I now tried to get parents out of the car rider lane. Finally they were each able to turn around and get out.

After just a few minutes the fire trucks pulled up to the vehicle that was already engulfed in fire and flames.
No one was injured.

If you are wondering about the people in the burning vehicle I have no clue about that. Apparently I just ran right past it toward all the kids. Kate on the other hand ran to the burning car, thrust open the door, pulled the little boy out and told the grandmother to get out because her car was on fire! Thank goodness for Kate! 

Breakfast: 1 corn tortilla with one boiled egg with mixed leafy greens, green tea
Snack: part of a carrot, apple slices
Lunch: glutten free spaghetti pasta with canned chicken, black beans, broccoli and can diced tomatoes and green chilies, water, peanut butter sandwich on round multi-grain bread (which was supposed to be my snack for later)
Snack: 2 kellogs dark chocolate granola bars. Woops. 110 calories each.
Dinner: 1/2 avacado, bean soup with quinoa, chicken and broccoli, little glutten free pasta with tomatoes, small orange, water
