Mon. August 20

So, obviously, I've been gone for a while. I didn't plan this little break, but it was for a very good reason.

My sister had her baby on August 7; a little boy named Jack. He's adorable and I love him. He obviously takes up a lot of time though, on top of work, sleep and social life.

So, that's kind of all I have to say right now. I'll probably be getting back into the swing of things here soon, but I'm just gonna take my time enjoying the baby. Can't get these times back.

Jack <3

Fri. August 3

- Egg, sunny side up w/lots of extra whites
- Oatmeal w/raisins
- A few handfuls of baby carrots
- Several cucumber slices
- Peach
- 2 Crystal Light servings in water
- Small homemade smoothie (strawberries, bananas)
- 2 square pepperoni pizza slices (Pizza Pizza)
- 5 chicken bites w/BBQ sauce (Pizza Pizza)

So, I bought a scale today (among a few other things). It's digital, can hold up to 400lbs, can switch between kgs and lbs and can differentiate by .2lbs, which is really great. And, like when comparing between 2 different scales, I "put on" like 3lbs in the 30 seconds it took to weigh myself on the household scale and my new one. lol. But that's ok, it just means I'll know what I am more accurately.

Those bastards.

Thu. August 2

- Bagel w/peanut butter and strawberry jam
- Strawberry cheesecake Jello cup (130 cals)
- Orange Jello cup (80 cals) 
- A couple handfuls of baby carrots
- A dozen or so cucumber slices
- Orange
- 2 servings of Crystal Light in water
- Granola bar (110 cals)
- 2 Jello cups (160 cals)
- Half a spinach cheese dip app (Kelsey's)
- Bowl of broccoli cheddar soup (Kelsey's)

- Medium strawberry cheesequake blizzard (DQ)

I had trouble eating breakfast again today. I had the bagel and it wasn't sitting as nicely as I'd like in my stomach, but I was in a rush this morning, so I wanted/needed something else (that I found appetizing) to help fill me up a bit more and hold me til lunch. I was feeling better shortly after though, so I guess that's good.

Also, I ate my feelings today. I fully admit and understand that. I won't go into the whole story, but basically I was looking forward to going swimming after work and due to a scheduling miss-communication, I didn't get to. Add to that they fact that I was only running on less than 4 hours of sleep (when I'm used to 8+), I just needed food and I was gonna have whatever I wanted. I was actually extremely close to getting fish and chips, but I opted for the burger and had the soup as well (which was a mistake) and then got a medium instead of a small ice cream cuz F the world in that moment. I'll probably pay for this tomorrow, but oh well. Story of my life. Anyway, time for sleep. There are some deals at Walmart tomorrow that are calling my name. lol

lol!

Wed. August 1

- About 1.5 cups strawberry yogurt
- Bowl of Corn Flakes in milk w/3 Splenda packets
- A few handfuls of baby carrots
- Several cucumber slices
- Orange
- 2 servings of Crystal Light in water
- Quarter Pounder, only ketchup, crispy onions, lettuce and cheese (McD's)
- 2 strawberry pies (McD's)

I was debating going for a run before work today, but I finally decided to go for it. I ran around my complex like 5 times, took 18 mins, burned 260 cals, so I can't complain. I know that any physical activity, no mater how short, is good. So, I really gotta remind myself of that and squeeze in little exercises when I can.

Do want!

Tue. July 31

- About 500mL chocolate milk
- Half a spinach cheese dip app (Kelsey's)
- Bowl of cream of broccoli soup (Kelsey's)
- Side caesar salad w/grilled chicken (Kelsey's)
- Strawberry cheesecake jello cup (130 cals)
- Medium sized steak
- Strawberry dried fruit bar (50 cals)
- Granola bar

Pretty much everyday, without fail, I have breakfast. I don't understand people that say they can't eat breakfast or that just don't (for whatever reason). However, today I tried to finish of some leftover spaghetti and it just wasn't happening. I had like 1 mouthful and I was done. I had that chocolate milk and that was it and then I headed to the gym. I was gonna walk like usual, but it was POURING. Cuz I'd slept late, my dad offered to give me a ride on his way to work, so things kinda worked out well like that.

At the gym, I decided to push it on the treadmill and was able to do 5Ks in 32:58. It was awesome but, like the last time I really pushed it on the treadmill, I spent the next several mins feeling a touch woozy and debating whether to run to the garbage can, the bathroom or just lie on the floor. After that, I decided to do about half the number of reps on various machines I use, did 30 mins on the recumbent(sp?) bike and then kinda called it a day at that point. On the way home, I popped into Walmart and picked up a large box of 324 diapers and 400 wipes (for my sister) and then carried them home. So, my arms got more of a work out and I burned 217 cals in 27 mins. lol

Afterward, a friend and I were gonna go swimming, but he fell asleep, so that didn't happen, but that's ok. I think I got a pretty decent amount of fitness for the day.
