I had a REALLY bad couple of days....like...almost quit this STUPID weight loss thing 'bad days'!!! But I know its not stupid and I know I'm not going to quit so today I TRY AGAIN! I am going to log E-V-E-R-Y-T-H-I-N-G I eat today...so I apologize now to anyone who gets an e-mail update whenever I update. I will still weigh in on Sunday, my regular weigh in day, and I will be prepared that I probably won't lose any 'new' pounds...but I'm hopeful that I won't gain if I can get back on track.
I'm not even going to discuss what I've eaten over the last two days. I'm just going to accept that I've had one BAD day and one REALLY BAD day and MOVE ON!!! Today is a new day! : )
When I lost the 40 lbs. in 4 months I was eating breakfast within an hour after I woke up (more like within a half hour). That hasn't been happening this time around. I just haven't been wanting to eat at 6:30-7:00am! So this morning I just ate a yogurt with granola...so that I can jump start that metabolism but I don't feel very full. I'll probably eat my 'regular' breakfast in an hour or two.
Wish me luck! : )
Breakfast: Yoplait Light Yogurt w/ Granola - 190 cal
*Two Cheetos Puffs - 25 cal I was giving the kids some and ate two.
Lunch: Minute Brown Rice (150), Schwans Hot n' spicy chicken breast (150), Light Soy Sauce (20), 2 scallions, 6 sprays of I Can't Believe Its Not Butter - 320 cal
*Larabar Sample - 90 cal Went grocery shopping and they were handing out samples of the Cherry Pie...I'm not a fan of cherry pie or tart cherries...but I REALLY liked the bar!!! : ) Nice little snack...only 3 ingredients!!!
Dinner: Gingered Shrimp Wraps - 396 cal
Dessert: 2-Smart Ones Sundaes (Turtle & Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough) 300 cal I have never tried Smart Ones desserts (any Smart Ones actually). They were on sale when I went shopping today, so I thought I'd try them out...and since I was almost 500 calories under my daily allotment I went ahead and tried two different ones. ; )
Ok, so nighttime is definitely my weak spot! I WAS 179 calories UNDER my daily allotment. Not now, and I really don't want to share this...but I promised myself I would post EVERYTHING I ate today.
Smart Ones Sundae - 170 cal
Cheetos Puffs - 368 cal
Which puts me over by 358 calories! : ( I can accept this and just be more prepared tomorrow night when the snacking mood strikes.
It's okay! You aren't giving up! I'm with you--it started on my birthday weekend (Feb 18th) and I started that slow backslide. But, you just gotta dust yourself off and keep going. Don't say it's a "restart," it's just a speed bump :) Today's weigh-in saw me back where I was pre-birthday, so I'm okay with that; now we both just move on! It's gonna be okay :)
ReplyDeleteYes!! Keep up the good work and good luck with you're weigh in!
DeleteI like that..."speed bump"! : ) Back in 2009 when I lost 40 lbs. in 4 months...it was my birthday that was the beginning of my undoing. So I was very worried that it would happen again this time, but I'm back on track right now. : ) Thanks for your words of encouragement.
DeleteBridge, thanks! It was a pretty good weigh in! ; )
DeleteI call my episodes food frenzies! It happens, but don't let it steer you off your journey. Tomorrow is a new day!
ReplyDeleteI may borrow that term...lol. Thanks for the encouragement. I did get back on track and was pleasantly surprised with my weigh in! Thanks for reading my blog! : )
