Diet Daze

So, I ate chinese, and I totally spaced on the carb blockers.  They probably don’t do anything anyway, but it helps me mentally… oh well.  I did not get a workout in because friends came over to play guitar hero, so instead I had two cappuccinos…yikes.  Also, I am totally not on my eating plan.  [...]

Well, I did work out again, but it was quite shortened.  My knee is popping like mad.  I’ve always had bad knees, since I was a kid, but I was never active enough to really make them bad enough to do something about, lol.  Anyway, they don’t bother me often, but since I started to [...]

So, I did it again!  I’m so proud of myself because once again, I really didn’t want to work out.  Technology was conspiring against me, and I still did it.  First, I couldn’t get my (junky) mp3 player to turn on.  Then, I watched one episode of Friends, and the TV died on me.  At [...]

So, my grand plan for today through Monday was to work out for an hour each day, and today I actually did it.  I’m really kind of surprised with myself.  I didn’t do it this afternoon as planned (I took a nap instead), but once I got home around 9, I forced myself to go put [...]

When I was in Spain for study abroad, the lady I lived with made the best coffee ever– in this little miniature percolator pot on the stove, and it was nice and strong, and a little thicker than normal coffee.  Well, I was talking to a couple of the other Italian TAs yesterday, and we [...]

Oh, I forgot to add a big milestone:  I’m halfway to goal!!  Just 41 lbs. more to go.  I did the first half in about 3 months, so that leaves another three months to finish up.  It’s doable in my goal time (I’m actually running about 3 weeks ahead), but it’ll be very close.  They [...]

Well, today went well, except I subbed the applesauce for the veggies again for dinner.  Also, I ate a creamy HNS in the same day that i had a bar, and I’m not supposed to do that.  Too many carbs, apparently, but there’s still a big calorie deficit, so we’ll see what happens.
Tomorrow holds a [...]

Today went fairly well.  I veered off ever so slightly for dinner because I just didn’t want broccoli….ever have one of those times when something just sounds totally unappetizing?  That was broccoli for me today.  Hopefully it doesn’t cause me too many problems.
Breakfast:  cheese toast, 1 egg white, HNS
Lunch: 2 oz. chicken, 1 oz. parmesan, [...]

It’s been going okay…slight variances from the plan, but nothing too terrible.  Yesterday was 100% OP, and here’s the damage today:
Breakfast:  cheese toast, 1 egg white, HNS
Lunch:  8 ritz wheat crackers, about 4 oz. cheese (total guess here, but more than 2 oz. for sure)– this was at a friend’s jewelry party, but it was around [...]

So, i got 3 hours of sleep last night, and I’m in bed, ready to go to sleep.  i still have to go grocery shopping, but i did go in and get a chicken tonight, so I had a good dinner, and I must say I think it’s made me feel better.  for a while [...]
