Kids on a two hour delay today. Made coffee this morning and enjoying a nice warm cup of it! I made Mark and the kids sausage and cheese english muffin sandwiches.... they smelled so yum. But here is what I've had so far...
Breakfast: Coffee with skim milk and a bit of splenda, english muffin with a little almond butter, and a banana.
11:45 am... Lunch.... salad with grilled chicken and a small baked potato with a bit of butter. Thought I'd start adding the times I eat to help myself keep track of the days I feel satisfied and look at how often I ate and what I ate. Really wanting a latte from downstairs but am fighting the urge! Also drinking Green tea with lunch.
12:30 pm ... had a yoplait yogurt.... I am craving sweets so badly!
2:30 pm.. couldn't keep myself from getting a hazelnut nonfat latte... just had to do it... also had a cookie! I am pmsing.... just wanna go nuts with the sweets... grrrrrrr

Well here I am again. So many times I feel like I'm repeating myself. I am back up in weight and frustrated. Not understanding why I can't get myself to be healthier and more active when I've been successful at it in the past. So today I have started anew. The eating part so far has been ok... mind you it is all of 1:30 pm! But I have wrote out a complete weekly menu and plan to follow it to a tee which I think will help. In addition, I need to get myself to exercise and so I plan to make my way down to the basement for at least 20 mins on the treadmil. I have a horrible habit of letting everything and everyone come before taking care of myself... thats how I'm in the situation I'm in with my weight. It is worth it I know... I want to feel confident in my skin. I want to be healthy. I want to be able to enjoy my clothes rather than be frustrated by what doesn't fit. I want to be a role model to my children.
Breakfast: 1 cup cooked oatmeal with a bit of splenda, 1 cup skim milk, an orange, and 2 cups of coffee.
Lunch: 3/4 cups brown rice with 4 oz of smoked salmon. A small salad with light salad dressing, and green tea.
Snack: reduced fat string cheese and carrots, cherry tomatoes, broccoli, and cauliflower.
Dinner: 4 oz steak, broccoli, asparagus, salad with light sesame ginger dressing
Snack: 1/2 c of trail mix.
Ok.... only got in about 40 oz of water today and need to increase that. Overall... I'm happy with my eating for today.

seriously..... it's been that long since I've journaled anything..... and I have lost alot of motivation too and think it is because I've not been focused like I was all along. Very frustrated lately! Still working out about 4 days a week but irritated and trying to eat healthy still but noticing that I'm just not paying attention to how much and what I'm putting in my mouth. Journaling is so beneficial and so I am going to start it again and want to try hard to stick with it. Work has created so much stress that I've been more overwhelmed than I have felt in a long time. So again.... I need to find time to do things to take care of myself... this is just one way to do that.
8 am.... piece of whole grain toast with little butter and two pieces of turkey sausage. Also having a cup of coffee with sugar free vanilla caramel creamer.

8 am.... walked on the treadmill for 34 mins doing intervals.
Well after talking with a friend last night about this whole weight loss thing I have decided to do things a little different. She is concerned I'm not eating enough.... I"m concerned about eating too much because of wanting this weight to come of. However I totally get what she is saying so I've decided to keep track of calories of things too... we'll see how that goes... wondering how frustrating it may be but I'll give it a go. So here we go so far for today:
Breakfast: 7 am
One Maple Oatmeal muffin (made these a few nights ago and they are pretty good) 220 calories
1/4 tsp of butter on it 25 calories
6 oz of milk 60 calories
Snack: 9:30 am
2 wasa crispbreads 90 calories
2 tbsp pb 190 calories
1 tbsp honey 60 calories
coffee with 2 tbsp sugar free creamer 30 calories
11:30.... guess a little snack.... an apple and 1/2 a turkey sandwich on whole grain with mustard and hot pepper cheese. I'll have to figure out these calories later... I have no idea.
2:30 ... had pistachios 170 calories and a choc chip cookie (only one) from downstairs. Also finished 20 more oz of water to make 40 oz total for the day. Also drinking hot tea plain. Freezing here today....

8:45... home with jared... he's sick so I cancelled my clients and am spending the day taking care of him and getting caught up. My cell phone is ringing off the hook as my business phones are always forwarded to my cell phone when I'm not in the office. I can't even explain how many people have called.... I made a piece of whole grain toast with a little butter and 2 soft boiled eggs. Also had 2 pieces of bob evans sausage and my usual coffee with sugar free hazelnut creamer.
11 am.... 1/2 c of pistachios and a clementine.
1 pm.... 3 dill pickles, some pretzel crisps, and a can of progresso lentil soup. I gotta get going on my water.... not really drinking much that last two days so I'm pushing myself to drink it. Not sure what is up with that. Just carrying around my water bottle everywhere I'm going. Cleaned out some of my drawers and saw cute panites I wouldn't be able to squeeze myself into at this point. Put them in the back to pull out for later when I'm at my goal weight. Sorry if thats too much info.... I love girly stuff like that and miss it! So that was good motivation for today.
3 pm... had full of mini marshmallows. 20 oz of water.
4 pm... 34 mins of interval cardio on the treadmill and later did abdominal exercises!
5:30 pm... had italian turkey club salad and a banana. Also had handfull of choc covered dried cherries from Mark's dads. Had 20 more oz of water making total for the day 40 oz.

9 am.... had a cup of coffee with sugar free hazelnut creamer and an omelet with mushroom, onion, and cheese. Also had 2 pieces of bacon and a piece of whole wheat toast. Feel like being lazy today but the kids insist on going to the Y! So guess I'm going to have to go.
11:30 am.... 100 calorie hostess cupcakes. Now they are all gone... just bought them yesterday but between 4 of us here they are bye bye... which is good because I only had 2 packs total and it took care of my chocolate cravings.
1 pm... a serving of pita chips and hummus. A clementine and 20 oz of water. Just finished walking/running on the treadmill for 32 mins going 2.145 miles. Will be going to the Y with the kids and lifting weights and swimming for about 2 hours later today. Made them an appt with the trainer for today and Tues so that will keep my motivated to get there too.
2 pm went to the Y and lifted weights for 1/2 hr or 45 mins while the kids worked with their trainer. Then we went and swam in the pool for over an hour. I did 24 laps... yippee! Now just 40 more to make a mile... geesh! I am wiped out I say. When we got home I ate an apple and have drank 20 more oz of water. We are going to Mark's dads for dinner tonight and I am so hungry. Did alot of activity today and feel great about it!
6 pm... Had pot roast with carrots, baby new potatoes, and tomatoes. It was very yummy. I also had one grand roll and about 1/2 c of cole slaw. Also had about 12 choc covered dried cherries. These are my weaknesses at Mark's dad's house and I can't wait until they are all gone but I think I must be the only one that eats them because they are always still there! Passed on the drumstick (ice cream) though which was good... those are 340 calories! Oh my!!!!! Drank about 10 more oz of water. Feeling pretty tired tonight.
