The day after

Thanksgiving... YAY! I worked all day from 8:18am til 6:45pm. Yay me. Yeah, right. Well it was a murderously slow day, to be expected. Everyone was hanging with their families eating turkey.

So, anyway I came home from work and made a turkey breast and mashed potatoes and stuffing and deviled eggs and we finally ate dinner at 10 ish. It was really awesome and now I have turkey for the rest of the week. I really love turkey, I think I should bake one every week.

I have not blogged the last couple of days and I feel really bad about it. Sorry Val! No excuse would be good enough to write. I will just continue to keep my promise and write as much as possible.

Well, that's about all I have to say for now.

Day 1 again

I am posting as i promised I would start doing everyday no matter what. So here goes. It's been pretty good today. I am getting ready to have dinner with my Dad and Eva and Becky and their mangy little dog. It's been a good day so far. We'll see how it ends.

TTFN,
Emily

Ugh

Ugh. That's what I feel like. I did okay on the diet today, I am just really run down. It's the lady time you see. Makes me feel like a pile of doo doo. But, i worked out yesterday and I will work out tomorrow as well.

I liked Val's rules, so I am going to incorporate them into my daily life. I like the one about no TV. It's a killa!!

Off to a rocky start

To start off I have to say that i've been doing pretty good. I haven't been keeping track of calories for the past few days but I've tried to keep an eye on my portions. I have been working out. Actually, yesterday I was so tired all day and I told myself that when I got home I was going to take a nap. But I didn't. I started watching The Biggest Loser from Tuesday night that I had recorded on my DVR and totally forgot about working out. Until they got to the part where they did the last chance work out. I got my butt off the couch and worked out, actually hearing them do the workout motivated me to work even harder at mine. I finished feeling like a noodle and man did I sleep well last night. It was really worth it and I felt accomplished. : )

I've noticed that it is easy for me to get off track when people stress me out. Like my sister. But, I probably use that as an excuse too.

Anyway, she started school this week and Eva asked if I would take her on Thursday and Friday, so I agreed (partially because it involved $20). I go over there to pick her up and I had 1 cup of coffee, 1 little debbie oatmeal pie thing, egg mcmuffin (300 cal), and 2 chocolate chip chewy cookies. So, I got off to a rocky start today, but I can redeem myself.

The Plan:

Turkey Sandwich for lunch: (270)

2 slices of wheat bread (80)
3 slices of Turkey (90)
mustard (0)
100 cal bag of popcorn (100)

Dinner (310)
Lean cuisine...don't know which one yet.

2 snacks at 100 cal each, banana and yogurt.

I WILL NOT EAT AN TOOTSIE ROLLS AT WORK TODAY!! I FREAKIN SWEAR!!!

I suppose that's all I have to say for now, except:

Another thing on my mind is my education. I was on the HCC website and I think my AA will be in Education, then transfer to USF for Psychology. I'm just rolling that around right now. The AA in Education offers a lot of classes that I find interesting.

I am thinking of doing addiction counseling, or school counseling.

I am Emily am this is my lame blog for today. I did not weigh in but I will tomorrow. I am in such a blah turdy mood I really don't have anything good to say, except that I did work out today. YAY for me!!!

I did:

12 Squats with medicine ball
12 Lying shoulder pullover
12 Seated row
12 Bench press
12 Standing Bicep
12 Seated shoulder press
12 Crunches

It took about 15 minutes.

That's all for now.

Back Again

I'm glad to see they don't delete you for inactivity. Well, I'm back for good this time. This week I lost 5 pounds, so I am pretty much where I left off. I have made at least one decision, from now on it is not called a diet, but rather a plan.

Today's Plan:

Breakfast: (350)

1/2 cup Egg Beaters (80)
2 slices of turkey (60)
2 slices wheat toast (80)
1 Tablespoon butter (light) (50)
1 cup of coffee (30)
1 cup of light and healthy OJ (not simpson, that would be gross) (50)

Lunch: Turkey Sandwich (336)

2 slices of wheat bread (80)
3 slices of Turkey (90)
1 tablespoon light mayo (50)
Tomato slices (16 - got this number from http://www.calorieking.com/ )
1 bag of 100 calorie popcorn (100 - yes, i had to type it, lol!)

Snack: (165)

1 medium banana (105)
Yogurt from walmart (60)

Dinner: (300)

Chicken parm from Lean Cuisine (260)
1 slice of wheat bread (40)

Snack (72)

Apple Medium (72)

1223 calories for the day.

Also, I will be doing some weightlifting on the Bowflex when I get off here, it will only take 15 to 20 minutes. Since it is so nice outside, I will really try to ride my bike. i will really really think about it. I just might do it.

Even though I had a horrible experience last time with Darryl. You see, he left me at a traffic light, so he already crossed the street and i was waiting for it to change. When the light changed, I hopped back on my seat, but not before the waistband of my pants got caught on the seat. So, when I hopped on, I mooned the drivers of the cars behind me. Yep..... good times. Later down the road, same kind of scenario except this time, I fell off the bike and did a "jelly-roll" yeah, that's when a big girl falls off a bike and rolls in the grass. jelly roll. I did it.

But you see, I am still willing to get back on the bike, that's saying something right? Or am I just crazy?!?

Also on the agenda today: drink a shitload of ice water.

TTFN.
