So, I sucked it up and did an unofficial weigh in this morning.  I knew it wouldn’t be good because I ate a really salty and carby dinner last night.  But, by having my unofficial weigh in today, and not putting the first one of the week on Monday or Tuesday, I’m ahead of the game in being on track, instead of taking today casually, shoving some cheese in my mouth here, candy in my mouth there.  No this is going to be a 100% on track day today.  No snacking if it’s not on track.  And I’m about to head out to the gym and then grocery shopping for the week!!

Breakfast: 1 chicken apple sausage (120) and a cup of blackberries (70)-190

Snack: short nf latte (70)

Post gym lunch: scrambled egg whites (100) with sauteed mushrooms and spinach (60)-160

Dinner: chicken (130), noodles (40), soy sauce (30), peanut sauce (60), carrots and bean sprouts (60), egg (50)-total: 370

Snack: Kombucha (70), some turkey (50)-120

“Dessert“-some reese’s pieces-120

total so far: 1030-DONE

Workout: 45 min jogging/walking including day 2 of week 6 of c25k, and 45 minutes weights and abs

Update :  Have had a really productive day so far, went to target, the gym, starbucks, trader joes and whole foods!  Now I’m home, going to shower, do some work and then later tonight, make my meals for the week! Woohoo!
So far, 100% on track today, and it will be! WOOHOO!

Goal for this week!!: Onederland! For real, not close to, not almost, but REAL Onederland!

Ok here’s a Friday Summary and a running tally of today (Saturday).

So yesterday was on track until the evening.  Up until dinner I ate completley on track, but then I didnt go to the gym at night because I was super sore from the last two days, and then I went out to sushi for dinner, which was fine.  But then I went out with my roomate and had two drinks (rum and diet cokes) and when we got home, I snacked too much on salty foods (like fresh popped popcorn, and some cheese and crackers), which I think definitely affected by unofficial weigh in this morning.

So Friday’s Food:

Breakfast: yogurt (60), 1 tbsp flax (30), 1/2 banana (55), 1/4 cup of cereal (35), ½ cup of berries (35)-215

Lunch: turkey meatballs (200), ½ cup of sauce (50), spinach (25), mushrooms (20), 1 tbsp parmesean cheese (20), carrots (40), no pudge brownie (150)- 505

snack: green apple (70)

Dinner: various sushi (500)

total: 1290

Bar: 2 rum and diet cokes, popcorn, cheese and crackers and reese’s pieces

no gym, plenty of water

Saturday/Today:

snacks while cleaning the kitchen this am: some reese’s pieces (80) and some popcorn (50)- 130

brunch: chicken apple sausage (120), 6 crackers (46), some cheese (80), some blackberries (20)- 266

now, off to the gym, run some errands, and then dinner tonight.  it’s going to be a not really healthy dinner tonight, but my goal is to not finish the whole portion and drink lots of water

back later!! gym today and tomorrow! hoping for a better unofficial weigh in tomorrrow!!

update:

gym: 45 min ellipitcal, 45 min weights and abs

food the rest of the day:

1/2 banana

ramen & 2 potstickers

boba

some cheese and crackers

even though food wasn’t on track today, glad I went to the gym.  tomorrow’s plan is to be 100% on track with both food and gym, and planning on having a great unoffical weigh in monday!!

Well, my Official Weigh in today was good, but not great.  I weighed in at 200.6, SO close to onederland, but not there yet!! Well my goal is to make it to Onederland tomorrow.  I’m going to let myself have another “official”ish weigh in tomorrow where I’m aiming for onederland.  I’m so close and I want to get there and dont want to lose track, so my goal for today is to remain 100% on track (hopefully eat NO no pudge brownies), be completely on track with my food, and go to the gym tonight.  and i think I’m going to a bar tonight, and if so i’m only going to drink max, 1-2 rum and diet cokes, which is pretty low cal.  ok more, blogging later but just wanted to update about my weigh in! so close, but not quite there yet, argh!

Today was pretty darn perfectly on track with food and gym and I had agreat unoffical weigh in this morning! life is good!

Lunch: turkey meatballs (200), ½ cup of sauce (50), spinach (25), mushrooms (20), 1 tbsp parmesean cheese (20), carrots (40), Hershey’s kiss (22)- 377

dinner: shirataki tofu noodles (40), 2 tbsp peanut sauce (60), 2 tbsp soy sauce (30), 1 chicken breast (130), some shredded carrot (25), egg whites (50)- 335

dessert: one no pudge brownie + a little more (150) (because i got an awesome incredible makes perfectly cut brownies, brownie pan, truly incredible)

total for the day: 1307–DONE (could have done without the brownie, but oh well…at least they were no pudge, right?!)

Unofficial weigh in today was great, lower than yesterday, which is always great, hoping for another good unofficial weigh in tomorrow, and for a great official weigh in Friday!!

Workout:

33 min elliptical, 10 min walking, 40 minutes weights and abs.  (i had a bit of a gym problem, i didnt eat that much this afternoon because I wasn’t that hungry and I knew I was eating a big dinner, but then I got really light headed and dizzy and not feeling well, so I did about 95% of my workout, but I couldnt do all of it).  From now on, I’m going to keep a granola bar or something my gym bag, so that in case i get light head, or low blood sugar, I can fix it without leave the gym.  but otherwise, I’m glad to be back at the gym!! It feels so good to workout!

Goals for tomorrow:

1) eat 100% on track. breakfast, lunch, and dinner! plan dinner before I get home

2) lots/plenty of water!!

3) full gym workout. 45 min cardio and 45 min weights and abs!

Back tomorrow y’all!! Love to be back and blogging and food tracking and gymming!

So today was a mixed bag, but pretty on track! My food was pretty much 90% on track.  Exercise was not so on track, because I stayed at work until 8pm so my gym time was pretty much gone.  But I’m gymming for the next 5 days which is great!! weds-sun gym, here we go!!!  But, I’m glad my food’s on track! that’s the most important thing for me! woohoo! here’s to another on track day tomorrow.  I am eating out tomorrow night, but I’m going to make smart choices and eat small portions!! and going to the gym before dinner!
