Well, yesterday was as perfect as I was going to get. I kicked *** at the gym, (ran 2 miles on treadmill then 45 mins of circuit training w/weights) and managed to eat fairly well. Didn't eat badly but ended up with a higher calorie intake than usual. Still 1641 cals wasn't too bad and I burned off around 500 at the gym.
For today:-
Breakfast - Bowl Grape Nuts w/1% milk and raspberries, tea with milk.
Snack - cherry toms and cottage cheese
Lunch - Chicken Salad from Chik-Fil-A, pear, baby carrots
Snack - Apple w/peanut butter
Dinner - Chicken and Biscuits (home made) w/cauliflower
Water - 2 liters
Exercise - Today is rest day after last night, my little legs are sooooo sore! Tonight I will likely exercise my cringe muscles by watching the American Idol auditions whilst consuming delicious chicken and biscuits, mmmmmm!
I am going to miss my goal of 80 miles for Jan by 7...oh well, vacation got in the way! if i would have put miles skiied or miles walked while on vacation I would have exceeded 80
I had a bowl of oatmeal and 1/2 banana for breakfast. Added some cinnamon and sweet and low into it...very yummy this morning!
I have been not doing so well planning for my day(s) here at work, mostly because I am bored with eating healthy!!
Today is speed work on the treadmill... 440x5 splits plus a 1/2 mile to warm up and cool down. add in 45 crunches and thats my workout.
PMS monster strikes again. I made smoothies for Jeff and me last night after dinner (not bad--bananas, frozen strrawberries, skim milk, a little vanilla, and a little Splenda), which would have been fine if I'd stopped there. But no...I then scarfed up some leftover Chinese takeout (pork lo mein). Best estimate per Fitday: 2065 calories. Actually, that's not horrible, I guess, but I was hoping for a low day.
Today will be better, but I will have to work for it! My craving for something sweet and salty grabbed me hard this morning, so I bought some yogurt-covered pretzels from the cafeteria downstairs. We're having lunch out at a restaurant today for a going-away party for a coworker whose last day is today. Here's what I'm thinking for today:
yogurt
yogurt-covered pretzels and strawberry milk
something as low-cal as humanly possible from Famous Dave's for lunch--I'm on my own since their website/online menu does NOT provide nutritional info
2 Morningstar Farms veggie burgers on wheat buns w/spinach and honey mustard
Assuming lunch is less than 700 calories, I should be able to stay below 2000 for the day
Well, looks like my lunch can DEFINITELY be less than 700 calories now--the girl who we were all supposed to be taking out to lunch is in the hospital with a nasty virus on an IV drip to rehydrate her Her brother says she'll be okay, but what a thing to happen for your last 2 days at a job! In any case, it means I'm not oging out to Famous Dave's (bbq place) for lunch, so I can pick something more sensible from the cafeteria downstairs
I just looked at fitday... I've had 7 portions of fruit and veg today! But that's so many carbs (yes really - I never really counted the carbs in veggies very seriously!) that my fat is down to 11%
I need about 50kcals of fat! Then I'm all out on calories! I think I need to eat a pat of butter!
My goal is just to stay on plan today, nothing heroic! And to walk home from work. I've been having a hard time getting back on track so even two days in a row of doing what I'm supposed to do is an accomplishment right now!

I weighed today. No budge. That gets so depressing and irritating. I know I lost eleven lbs total in one month, but now that I'm weighing regularly, NOTHING. I'll weigh tomorrow and if nothing I'm going back to weighing once a week. At this rate I'll not look that great when my mom comes in late feb.
Today is a "FAT" day, meaning I feel fat in all ways. Ugh.
ugh. i couldnt stand it. went to chacho's and got a shrimp (grilled) taco. oh well, not TOO terribly horrible (keep telling myself that). at least i know i have bad *** exercise tonight and a no fat dinner already cooked.
