Sunday Recap

I really wish the weekend was longer. I could go for another sleeping in day.

Sunday was a better food day.

2 good things:
1) No Fast Food
2) I bought a pint of Haagen Dazs coffee ice-cream (Kroger was having a sale) and did not proceed to scarf down the entire thing...I only had 2 bites from my boyfriend's serving.

It's time to start focusing and acknowledging the positive points in my day, not just the bad ones.

Sunday
No breakfast. Boyfriend doesn't go to work until the afternoon so this is the day we get to sleep in late together. I <3 Sundays.

Lunch: Rice, some kind of meat thing (I have no idea what it's called), egg

Snack
Apple


Dinner
Ajiaco, rice, avocado, aborrajao (plantain)



Other:
2 bites of coffee ice-cream, 1 slice of birthday cake

I don't know why but it always seems like I've eaten way more than I do.

Today's weigh-in - I'm pretty much right where I started (258). But that's OK. I'm committed to doing this and I know I won't be where I'm at for much longer.

Dear Boyfriend,

Thank you for not letting me eat that pizza last night. I hate to admit this, but you were right and I was wrong. I was acting like a spoiled brat. I am grateful that you care and worry about my health so much. Thank you for always looking out for me. Te amo.

Love Always,
Your Girlfriend

Weekend Check-In

Ok, I've been really bad with eating (surprise, surprise) and the exercise, but I promise I will be back tomorrow (Sunday) and TRY to get back my mojo (eating right and working out mojo that is).

I'll share a bit of awesomeness that I got to experience Friday night! Enjoy!

Close but no cigar...

I never really understood that saying =\

I started off so good yesterday, but as you will see all my efforts were for nothing. I can't really explain what happened.

Thursday
Breakfast: oatmeal, almonds, banana

Lunch: Hamburger, broccoli, God's greatest creation - watermelon

Snack: cantaloupe, strawberries, crumbled up Oat's and Chocolate bar
Not pictured: 1 oatmeal cranberry walnut cookie from Jason's Deli
1/4 of a ham sandwich
handful of Munchies
1 pan dulce, 1/2 churro

Dinner: roasted chicken, rice with veggies, tomato and avocado salad (I forgot to take a picture)

Hmmmm?? It doesn't seem too bad. I could have swore that there was more food.

Exercise: I actually saw a tumbleweed pass by my elliptical machine.

I really have to start getting back into healthy habits. Getting back into? Ha! Who am I kidding? I was never really there. But I was behaving way better than I am now.

I feel the fluffiness creeping back on. And it's starting to get really hot here. It's hard being fat in the heat!!

Fresh Start?

Fresh start is my middle name.

I have been all over the place lately. I've been eating like no other and my elliptical machine is collecting dust and cobwebs.

Yesterday was a really rough day because it was the one year anniversary of my dad's passing. I just wasn't all there. I pretty much ate myself into a food coma. It's not like I ate food to comfort myself because trust me, eating until you are sick to your stomach is not comforting. I just ate and ate and then ate some more. I'm really feeling it today.

So what am I in need of (a good a** whipping, maybe?)? A fresh start, of course. I'm off to a good one this fantabulous morning. But it's only 9 in the morning and I have the whole day to make some mistakes (or not).

Struggling

I wasn't going to post because I have not been good with the eating, but I'd rather be accountable than just sweep it under the rug.

Monday
Breakfast: oatmeal, banana, raisins, peanuts
Lunch: fried rice, shrimp and chicken, veggies
Snack: see Previous post, 1 slice of watermelon
Dinner: rice, beans, arepa, chicharron, steak, avocado
Snack: split a banana split with Boyfriend

Exercise: none =(

I know there's really no excuse but I just didn't feel right yesterday. I was EXHAUSTED. My eyes hurt, my head hurt, just a really ugly day for me. I know I still could have gotten a workout in, but laziness got the best of me.

I hate days like this.

Confession

I just had, not one, but two slices of coconut cake.

My tummy is not a happy camper.

A gain on the scale

That title says it all. I was up 1.2 pounds this week. Blah! I ate way too much food this weekend.

Friday
Breakfast: oatmeal and raisins
Lunch: lasagna, broccoli
Snack: apple, Oats and Chocolate bar
Dinner: here's where I went buckwild...Me and the boyfriend went to Hooters to catch the Laker game and I had 3 chicken wings, some steamed shrimp, onion rings, french fries, a strawberry daiquiri and some pepsi

Exercise: 30 minutes on the elliptical

Saturday
Lunch: Met up with the boyfriend while I was out running errands. Split a Chipotle burrito and some chips and guacamole with him. Those burritos are HUGE and so good.
Dinner: Buckwild Day #2...Boyfriend's parents had family over the house this day and we indulged in some empanadas. I had about 5 of them. I drank lots and lots of cans of coke. And to top it off, boyfriend was hungry and asked me to accompany him to get a midnight snack. I obliged and had a Filet o Fish

exercise: 30 minutes on the elliptical

Sunday
Our day to sleep in!
Lunch: scrambled egg, arepa, orange juice
Snack: apple
Dinner: Boyfriend's parents invited us out to eat to celebrate his dad's birthday. We ended up at one of our favorite restaurants - Shogun! Hibachi fried rice, hibachi veggies, hibachi shrimp and chicken, salad with ginger dressing, soup, 2 pcs. California Roll, 2 Shirley Temples, 1 scoop of Rainbow Sherbet...I think I did good with this meal because instead of eating ALL of my meal, I ate only half and saved the other half for Monday's lunch.
Snack: 2 cups of Popcorn...I would have ended up eating the entire bag of popcorn plus a can of coke but I got scolded by Boyfriend =(.

I am really disappointed with my progress this week. But it's not like I really worked hard at trying to lose weight. I need to seriously take some time and think about what it is that I want. I need to focus and COMMIT and no more effing around.
