Hello hello! It’s already 4:40 on Sunday afternoon which is disconcerting because I just havent been very productive with schoolwork this weekend.

I realized it may be very hard to write consistent entries on the weekends because I am always so busy running around doing errands, seeing friends, trying to do schoolwork etc. But while I probably wasnt as good foodwise this weekend as I was during the week, I definitely stayed more or less on plan and ate much better than I would have previously. I went to the gym on friday, but not on saturday because it was my rest day. But i did go to the gym today and did over an hour of elliptical, abs, and a few weights. Now its already almost 5 and I still have to shower and do so much work. Well, I guess along with my weight managament I should figure out time management.

Anyways, back to getting on schedule with the food and exercise journals:

Today/Sunday

Breakfast: One Packet of Lower Sugar Oatmeal (120 cal), and one low fat string cheese (70). half a sugar free redbull (5)

Lunch: 6inch subway turkey sandwhich on honey oat with provolone and veggies. other half of the sugar free redbull (5). after doing a bit of math and looking at the (excellent) subway foods nutrition site, I realized that my subway sandwich was more calories than I would have liked or thought. a 6 inch turkey sandwich is 280 calories, on WHEAT bread, but i didnt realize it and when I put it on honey oat bread, that adds another 50 calories to the sandwich, then my provolene cheese added 50 calories, and the oil vinegar mix added 45 calories. which makes what i thought was my low cal subway sandwich 425 calories. i might as well be eating fastfood! obviously thats not true, but it was certainly over the amount of calories i had hoped for.

so now i am trying to decide what i want to eat for dinner. i definitely dont want to go to the dining hall, because i think i would go overboard there. so im currently deciding between eating: a low cal (under 100 cal) soup and a protein bar, under 200 cal, or an activa yogurt (70 cal) and a soup, or what exactly. i know that later on i want to have a green apple as a snack and i may be going for a light coffee later, so im trying to prepare for that. anyways. im sure ill figure it out soon, and then i’ll post it. anyways, i just want to keep my dinner under 300 calories today because my lunch was so many.

Dinner:Vegan Chicken Noodle Soup (90 cal), Activa (70 cal) dinner total = 160 cal

Snacks: Iced Grande Non-Fat Sugar Free Vanilla Latte -Starbucks(80 Cal) 1 green apple (60 cal) about 1/4 of a 100 calorie bag of popcorn (30 cal (to be safe)) about 1 handful of trailmx (i dont know the calorie content, wish i did, ill say about 75)

Total Calories for Today: 1030! I feel really good that I was able to recover from my lunch mistake.

Workout: 1 hour and a few minutes on the elliptical, ab work out, weights, and stretching.
