Mon. June 25

- 2 bowls of Corn Flakes in milk w/6 Equal packets total
- 2 pieces of toast; one w/peanut butter, one with Nutella
- About 1.5 cups of peach yogurt w/Benefiber
- Small piece of chocolate cake
- Caesar salad w/grilled chicken (Jack Astor's)
- Granola bar
- Half a medium box of potato wedges (Metro grocery store)
- 2 small chicken breasts
- A few handfuls of onion Sun Chips

Foodwise, I think today was kinda meh. But I think my fitness was pretty good today. I got a good 2 hours at the gym, where I upped my weights on some of the machines, and then I got about 50 mins of pool time in the evening. Fairly decent, I think.

Also, I'm planning to be more diligent this week and get to the gym for like an hour every day before work (on the days that I actually do work). As well as going to the pool on days that I'm not working. I also want to pay more attention to calories this week and pre-make baggies of snacks and what not to have with me and eat when needed to keep my metabolism going. :)

Nom!

 

Sun. June 24

(I put off writing Sat. June 24 for so long that I can't really recall everything I ate and I'd rather not guess or leave stuff out. Sorry)

- Pulled pork pizza (Shoeless Joe's)
- Medium blizzard w/Reese's pieces and M&Ms (Dairy Cream)
- Small caesar salad
- Medium sized steak w/shredded cheese
- 2 granola bars

I got to go swimming today. And what do I do after going swimming for an hour? Get ice cream of course. lol. I really should've gotten a frozen yogurt or something, but oh well. Maybe next time.

Fri. June 22

- 11 chicken nuggets w/honey
- Banana "shake" (banana, cup of milk, bit of Benefiber, bit of protein powder, 2 Equal packets)
- Several medium pieces of chocolate
- Several twisted pretzels
- Half a spinach cheese dip app (Kelsey's)
- Broccoli cheddar soup (Kelsey's)
- Small chicken caesar (Kelsey's)
- Medium strawberry cheesequake blizard (DQ)
- Handful of peanuts
- 2 granola bars

Again, I'm not sure how to compose my thoughts properly, so I'll just do this point form...

- I'm about a few pounds above the weight I told myself I'd never let myself get to again (unless I was pregnant) and I've been that for at least a few days. I tend to deal with this with heartbreak, a shoulder shrug and a sugary breakfast. Really need to be more proactive about this.

- I took a quick stroll through Stitches today and there's so much cute and inexpensive stuff I'd love to buy and could probably fit in now, but I know I'd look better in their stuff 15-20lbs lighter. This isn't gonna be some goal or incentive; if I want their stuff, I'll buy it. I just need to keep this in mind.

- I'm considering doing a 5K. I'm fairly decent at running (used to cross country in grades 6-8) and since I've recently found out 5Ks is only like 3.1 miles, it seems a lot more doable. If I really train and push, I could probably do it in 25-30 mins and get a good work out for a good cause. I'm considering Run For The Cure in September, but we'll see.

- On days that I gym, I usually walk there (25 mins), do the bike (30mins), do elliptical or rowing machine (30mins), then walk home (another 25). I asked the receptionist at the gym is she thought that was a good amount of cardio (I pretty much knew the answer, was just kinda looking for some ego stroking) and she said it was really good and it makes me wanna get more cardio day to day.

- When I gym, I feel like if I don't have time to use a cardio machine, there's almost no point going. However, I need to remind myself walking there and back is good cardio, so I can just focus on using the weight machines.

Ok, I believe that's it for now. Thank you for you're time. :)

Fact! (old-ish pic, but still true)

Thu. June 21

- 2 bowls of Corn Flakes, in milk, w/6 Equal packets total
- Can of tuna, w/a little mayo and lots of peas
- Orange
- Several cucumber slices
- 2 servings of Crystal Light in water 
- Quarter Pounder, only ketchup, onion straws, lettuce and cheese (McD's)
- Strawberry pie (McD's)
- 16 twisted pretzels
- Several licorice wands

I'm not even sure how to start to type out this thought. Ok, so, when I was adding peas to my tuna, I saw that there's only 80cals per 3/4 cup. Later at night, I had those pretzels (at I think it was 190cals per 16) and it kinda got me thinking that if I could just snack on really low calorie foods between 4-6 times a day and add some decent cardio, I could definitely drop some decent weight. And, you know what's stupid about this? This is what soooooo many people recommend to lose weight. I've heard it before, I've told it to other people, but it's just like one of those moments when information actually clicks in your brain and get it and retain it and put it to good use. It kinda makes me wanna face palm. Dumb blonde, ya know. lol. It would be nice if I could have several days off to actually put this into play. Actually, that's probably not the best idea. Even though I'd like to say I could do this, I know I'd get bored and just pig out on junk. So, this might be a better idea for work days, where I don't have access to all kinds of junk in the house. Just set a timer on my phone to make sure enough time has passed before I eat again and only bring the recommended serving size of food. Definitely gonna need to get my S together and try this.

So true, lol

Wed. June 20

- 6 pieces of ribs
- 2 Eggo waffles w/syrup
- Several medium pieces of homemade dark chocolate almond bark
- A cup or so of homemade beef and broccoli
- About a cup of blueberry yogurt w/Benefiber
- Several cucumber slices
- Double Quarter Pounder, only ketchup, onion straws, lettuce and cheese (McD's)
- 2 Strawberry pies (McD's)

The almond bark seems to be pretty good. I figured the milk chocolate would help make it more tolerable, but it sorta defeats the purpose of it being healthy. I've heard 70% (or above) D chocolate is the healthiest and then kind I bought was only 54%, plus I added the milk chocolate to it. Oh well. It's better than just straight up M chocolate, I guess.

Not exactly, but ya. lol

Tue. June 19

- About 1/3 of a serving of general tso chicken on fried rice w/lots of peas added
- 2 Eggo waffles w/syrup
- 2 pieces of whole wheat toast; one w/peanut butter, one w/Nutella
- Several dark chocolate covered almonds
- A few cups of homemade beef and broccoli
- Apple
- Peach
- 3 servings of Crystal Light in water
- Dieter's (cleansing) tea
- Quarter Pounder, only ketchup, crispy onions, lettuce and cheese
- 50mg of milk chocolate

So, I feel like a I got a decent amount of stuff accomplished today before work. I walked to the mall, hit up a few stores, picked up a few things I wanted at Bulk Barn, came home, did laundry and then went to work. I picked up some dark chocolate covered almonds cuz I know almonds are good, I know dark chocolate is good, so I figure the 2 of them together is gonna be good. I also won't eat either of those things by themselves, so I though them combined would make them more tolerable.

Also, when I got home from work, I decided to make like a homemade almond bark using 400mg dark chocolate, 100mg milk chocolate and a lot of almonds. It's setting in the freezer right now, so I hope it turns out alright. :)

That's kinda badass. I would love to have something like this, but I'm sure the pain factor is crazy. :/
