Step 1 I tracked today, I have 6 cals left of my 1983 that my program gave me as "goal for weight loss" (1lb a week by my own calculations). I'd like to eat better than that but for a first day back on tracking its not that horrid. Now to make it to bed without eating anything else!
So I did horrible yesterday. I got really depressed around midnight and have no idea how many calories I consumed except a lot.
B - sweet potato with .25 cup of greek yogurt and 1.67 tbl of peanut butter-caramel dip
S - corn muffin
L - tuna salad on rye triscuit crackers with half a banana
S - celery stalk w/ 1 tbl of peanut butter
D - 1-1.5 cups of whole wheat spaghetti noodles with a peanut butter soy sauce, 1 cup of broccoll, and a cucumber salad
S - 2 large peices of cheesecake with chocolate syrup, lots of chocolate morsels dipped in more chocolate syrup and probably something else my brain wants me to forget
Because of this and thanksgiving, I'm delaying my weekly monday weigh-in to at least wednesday. Stupid me
I did really well this week until today, at least that's how it feels.
B-two pieces whole wheat 35 cal toast with butter-140cals
D-chinese takeout. This consisted of white and fried rice, honey chicken, general tso's chicken, and 4 crab rangoons. Also two small pastry type puffs and some chocolate pudding. The only good thing about this was I ate more rice than the chicken. I ate all of the honey chicken, but only a little of the general tso's. Also I still had rice and pudding left. I stopped myself from eating all of it.
I tried calculating it out online and my daily calorie count came to almost 1700 cals. My goal is 1200-1500, so only about 200 over. Not too bad, but still feel guilty.
Oye Over my cals by at least 25, went up for supper I knew that would ruin me but I did it anyways. It's all tracked in my software and will be there when I don't post a loss next week. The tracking DID keep me from eating even more just knowing I'd have to account for it i wanted to keep eating though :|
B - 3 doughnuts (small-ish)
S - handful of mint m&m's
D - small scoop of mashed potatoes, two large servings of stuffing, turkey with gravy, 2 large portions of mac and cheese, 2 dinner rolls
S - 2 peices of apple pie, 1 peice of sweet potato, and some vanilla ice cream
I got caught up and ate more than I meant to, but there you have it.
B - .75 cup of vanilla yogurt with 1 tbl of peanut butter and 1 low-fat graham cracker sheet
S - corn muffin
L - .5 cup of turkey dipped in 1 tbl ranch and .5 cup of celery dipped in 1 tbl of ranch
S - tangerine
D - broccoli and corn calzone (homemade) with kale chips (1 cup raw)
S - sweet potato pie
B - .75 cup of vanilla yogurt with 1 tbl of peanut butter and 1 low-fat graham cracker sheet
S - kale chips (1 cup raw)
L - black bean soup and .5 cup of broccoli w/ 1-2 tbl of ranch
S - apple
D - twice-baked potato with .25 cup of turkey and .25 cup of broccoli and 1 cup of roasted cauliflower
S - sweet potato pie slice w/ 2 tbl vanilla ice cream
I'm coming back to this again... I can't believe how bad I've been doing since thanksgiving. Its hard to stop. But I will try to attempt this again.
Well I am supposed to do 1300 cals a day but I will gladly accept this 1500 today since it is MUCH better than recently. Tomorrow I make it my goal to finally do 1300.
