What a great way to start the day, another 1 point something pounds down. I now officially weight 229 lbs. As today is my weigh in day, this will remain on my list over there on the right even after today has passed.
Today is my 35th birthday (and President Obama's birthday too! He's 48 today) and I'm having cake. If you want to see what kind of cake, go here. This is not my regular blog, so I'm not going to talk about my regular stuff.
Yesterday for breakfast I had a sugar-free cinnamon roll pudding. For lunch I had a slim-fast. For snacks during work I had some pork rinds. And for snack after work I had a Good Humor Almond ice cream bar. Well, to be honest I only ate 2/3'rds of it because it made me a little sick. My son ate the rest. For dinner I had a small bowl of homemade soup, minus most of the broth. It was pretty good but the meat I had in it was a little dry and got stuck on the first bite. After that, I basically shredded it, and at it little bits at a time.
So, I think that's all for now. I may come back later if I have more to post.
It's a good day bra'! (from that carl's jr. commercial - lol)

Can't..resist.....must.have...treats...
Weigh in this morning sucked. I'm up .7 lbs. Luckily still holding steady in the 239, but if I keep eating like I did yesterday, I'm gonna have problems.
I know I haven't gotten my first fill yet, but any gain feels like failure. Especially after eating everything I could get my hands on yesterday. I know, it's NOTHING like how I ate before. All those bites that I took would have been whole items instead of just bites. I would have eaten the whole salad, and gotten myself a whole dessert. Actually, I probably wouldn't have gotten a salad. I would have gotten an appetizer, and a big burger or steak, and eaten it all. I have nothing to be ashamed of for eating what I ate yesterday. It was bad, but still, just a drop in the bucket comparatively.
I did get in my exercise yesterday. I did 15 minutes on the elliptical at the gym. I'm walking today. Tomorrow I'll get back on the elliptical and do 20 minutes instead. The 15 was just because I was chicken. I wasn't sure I could do it, so I set it low. I was fine, and probably could have gone another 5-10 minutes. My legs would have been rubber, but I could have done it. Hopefully by Thursday I'll be over my monthly issues too, which makes the whole shower/change thing easier too.
So today I'm trying to switch up my eating a little. I didn't eat on my first break like I usually do. I'm drinking water instead, trying to get down about 20+ ounces before I eat. I snacked on 3 radishes while I was drinking water to keep the hunger down a bit. I figure they have almost no calories, so it doesn't hurt me to eat them and drink at the same time. I just looked it up, and a whole cup of radish slices is only 19-23 calories, depending on what site you look at. Nothing. lol
I'm trying to push back when I eat, so that I'm not so hungry after work. That's when I get the most trouble. I get home, start snacking, and it turns into what you saw yesterday. I need to be full when I get home so I don't feel the need to graze. I sure can't wait for my fill. I would love to feel as full as I did the weekend after surgery. Yeesh.
Here is the list of what I'm eating today:
For breakfast I'm having a can of tuna (80 cals) with 1/2 a tomato (15 cals) chopped in, and about 1 1/2 tablespoons of miracle whip (55 cals). For lunch I brought a can of cream of celery soup. I know, no protein, but an easy way to fill my belly with low calories. It's only 90 calories per serving, so even if I eat the whole can I'll only get about 225 calories.
Total for breakfast and lunch: 375 cals.
For dinner I have planned to make baked lemon chicken with mushroom sauce. I'm going to try my hand at wild rice on the side, and probably a salad. I'm not very good at making rice though, so wish me luck.
So if I eat a chicken breast with some rice, the lemon chicken is about 392 calories, and the rice is about 82 calories for a half cup.
Total for dinner: 474 cals. (if I eat the whole chicken breast)
Total for the day: 849 cals.
Assuming that I don't snack. Wish me luck.
Current weight: 239 lbs.
