Made it through

It was a longgg day but i made it. Everything reminded me of hot fudge sundaes for some reason though. Anyway, I ate pretty well. Tomorrow I am going to have an insane day, mostly out of the house and having lunch at a party, so I will have to really try to find good food options.

Breakfast
2 eggs scrambled in .5 tblsp butter

Lunch
2 italian sausage with peppers/onions (no bread)

Snack
handful of Snow Peas

Dinner
big salad: romaine, baby spinach, shredded red cabbage & carrots, cucumber, mushrooms, scallions, sliced almonds and a bit of shredded cheddar cheese w/ 2 tblsp olive oil & 4 tblsp red wine vinegar

Day 3

Right at this exact moment I don’t feel like I’m gonna make it This is soooo hard. Why do I start craving after I’ve eaten a meal???

Day 2 menu

I am using Fitday to keep track of my fat/carbs/protien, weight/BMI and calories. I like to list my daily menu here to as a review. You can see it was a salty & fatty day. I was fine until the evening which is when I usually head for sweets. Lucky for me I konked out with DS while putting him to sleep and you can’t eat if you aren’t consious right?? lol I had ZERO energy yesterday and no motivation. I am proud of myself for getting through the day! I think I will feel energized once I get over the sugar.

breakfast
Avacado

snack
2 artichokes
1.5 tblsp butter

Lunch
salad: mushrooms, radish, cucumber, scallions, shredded carrot, shredded red cabbage, romaine, baby spinach
2 tblsp olive oil/4 tblsp red wine vinegar
1 can tuna (packed in water)

Dinner
2 beef hotdogs w/sauerkraut (no buns or condiments)

Snack
Snow peas
2 tblsp ranch dressing    …mmmm….yum!

Day 2

Yesterday went well. I didn’t eat any junk the whole day and  I started using Fitday which is a great free program to keep track of food, excercise, weight, etc and it generates all these great graphs and reports. Free I found it really hard after dinner not to eat something sweet. I was so bad before though, I’d go eat a spoon of frosting right out of the can just to satisfy the sweet tooth. I ate alot of fat yesterday and that kept me full, I also ate alot of veggies and a really good salad for dinner. The fat came from avocado, cheese, ranch dressing and olive oil so they were mostly good fat. I could use more protien but I am too lazy to boil an egg (just being honest, and I don’t like cold hard boiled eggs) so I just had an avocado and can of seltzer for breakfast.  I have to find something to satisfy the sweet tooth, get over it mentally or find a huge well of will-power because it is going to be hard!! Off to Fitday now to update …

Getting started again

The only way to start is with the first bite. I went to the produce store and stocked up on some of my favorite stuff. I do know how to eat well but it doesn’t matter when I am in Psycho Eating mode. It’s like I think *this* pile of White Castle won’t effect me and heck, neither will this pint of Hagaan Daaz. Huh? Duh. So, I HAVE to make a point of having the right stuff to well, stuff my face with!! I am going to try to avoid processed foods, lower my corn intake, avoid sugars, eat fresh veggies, salad, chicken, fish and add whole grains as I start to lose pounds. I will add berries and apricots if it’s going well but fruits (bananas especially) make me bingy. I love Bartlett Pears and hope to add those in as well.

Piggy Piggy

Well, it’s been 5 months since I posted and in that time my eating has spiraled so quickly out of control. I have spent the last 5 months abusing myself with food and I feel like crap. Out of breath, chest pains, lethargy, headaches, pms, blotchy skin oh and of course I am FATTER. I just had a physical with EKG and that was fine. I will be having blood work done this week or next so it’s good timing to make a change.

Another horrifying motivator…I just bought our Beach Pass for the summer. It’s about the last place I want to be right now but the kids love it and I do it for them. If I can get in better shape then I can enjoy it too
