This weigh in was pretty depressing; I lost less than a pound since last week. That is definitely not in my game plan. I really tried to stay on track today and for my Chinese I ordered boiled white rice (they didn't have brown) and broccoli in garlic sauce (a healthy veg option), but I did splurge on scallion pancakes. I love those things! The veggie roll I got wasn't good, too salty or something, so that was off my plate in a matter of moments. I guess looking back on it, it wasn't an entire disaster. We had a coworkers birthday to celebrate also, hence the chocolate cream pie. I also was too full to eat dinner after my big lunch, so I guess I saved some calories there. Off to a better day tomorrow!

Another boring day, boring work, boring homework...I'm so freakin' bored! My weight sucks; I went up SOME MORE even though I thought I ate pretty good yesterday. I'm really trying today, so if I don't see a loss tomorrow, and you don't see a post from me...send someone! (lol)
Tomorrow at work, we're getting Chinese food and I'm really trying to talk myself out of the normally vegetarian, yet greasy, food I normally order and more into something like steamed shrimp with veggies. Ok, and maybe just one little indulgence like a veggie spring roll or some scallion pancakes...*drool*...I haven't had Chinese in so long, it's nearly bound to be a disaster. So wish me luck and knock on wood and all that, I just need to have the discipline to avoid all the junk and get something healthy.

Happy Humpday!
Sorry about the lack of pictures lately, I've been thrown a bit off kilter with my BF being home. As you can see I didn't exercise for the past two days! Bad, bad, bad...but I'm back on track today. I had also eaten out for three meals the past two days; honestly, I don't know what got into me, but my dismal weigh-in this morning really hit me like a slap across the face. I have to get my act together!

I'm writing this as I head off to bed and to chat with the BF who is still away.
I will say I was very happy with my weigh in today and my mini goal is to be in the 160's by the time the BF comes home (Tuesday). So I have a couple days to drop about a pound. Based on how I've been doing, I think it should be attainable, definitely.
My day was terribly boring, although I did finish the book I was reading: the fourth and final book of the Twilight series, Breaking Dawn. I loved the whole series and I wish there were more. = ( I guess now I should move on the the final Harry Potter book, but I'm too sad to see that series go, too. *sigh*
Oh well, I'm off to bed.

Today was Saturday, but I didn't have much of a full schedule. I kind of have a cough at this point and was having a bit of trouble breathing (I also have asthma) especially since last night's cardio workout. So I really had a relaxing day. I watched the entire show Diet Tribe from Lifetime TV. It was something inspiring to watch. All five women on the show had a goal to lose 30 pounds in 90 days. It was a pretty good show. They should do one with younger twenty-somethings I think, I would like it even more.
I did some yoga in the morning because I felt like I needed some extra stretching. Later on, I did some weights (arms) and did my grocery shopping for the week. The BF is coming home on Tuesday and it's funny to see how my dinners change when he gets back: Sunday - HG Special Salad, Monday - BBQ Chik'n Salad, Tuesday - Sloppy Janes, Wednesday - Tuna Casserole, Thursday - Chili Mac, Friday - Chik'n Parm (of course all of these I make healthy & vegetarian). I find it easier to shop and have the things I need to make healthy meals if I plan my dinners out a week at a time and do my shopping on the weekends.
Weight: 171.8 (down .8)
Food Log:
Breakfast:
- 1 c. cinnamon Life cereal
- 2/3 c. skim milk
Lunch
- Quesadilla (carb balance tortilla, 1/4 c. low fat cheddar, 1 T. onion, 1 T. green pepper, taco seasoning, cilantro)
- 1/4 c. salsa
Snack
- Chobani greek 0% yogurt, strawberry
- 2 wheat crackers w/ 1/2 wedge light laughing cow cheese
Dinner: (I would normally post the recipe for this pizza, but I'm not recommending it, I found it kind of flavorless)
- 2 c. spinach salad w/ carrots, green pepper, tomato, craisins & low fat balsamic vinaigrette
- Hungry Girl Loaded 'N' Oated Spinach & Mushroom Pizza ("dough" made with fiber one cereal and oatmeal)
Exercise:
- 25 minutes On Demand, AM Yoga
- 22 minutes On Demand, A List Arms
Water Intake:
- 8 cups
