Day 5…still sticking to my caloric intake.

            Today, did not start up well. I got up late and had to rush out, therefore, breakfast consisted of a tangerine. At 11;30 am…I finally took a break to eat and since I forgot to bring my lunch, I had to buy from the cafeteria. Unfortunately, the items being sold, do not have nutritional labels, so I bought a whole wheat chicken salad wrap, that I estimated to be 315 calories. I had a piece of cake for dessert, ( extremely disappointed in my self), but, I ate the sponge and the pudding filling and left the chocolate topping alone…sigh…still some work to do….since I was feeling guilty when I came home, I had a mixed salad with lentils and fried fish ( I know fried, but, I shared half with my boyfriend). I had to “guestimate” most of my foods and I tried to find the equivalent online and add 50 calories more, however, I’m sitting at 1350 calories ..but  I  do not feel that I could have gone over….I sneaked a peek at the scale and it said 230 but that was before I had dinner and it was a wacky day. However, I have 30 mins on the treadmill tonight and I plan to stick with it… I think I can make the 4 pound loss this week…actually I’m quite confident about it.

         To wrap up, I will need to make some changes for my goals next week but I’m on my fifth day and I’m doing better than I thought with a few slips here and there…I will make it this time and I’m not giving up, it’s time to shed that heavier me and let the “skinny” me through…Okay, now back to home work…take care everyone…

Day 4..Not that great!

             I had a rough day today and my eating habits reflected that. I’m currently sitting at 1350 calories and later tonight I shall have a glass of milk and I think that will be that. ….. maybe an omelete. Before  I get started on Day 4…Let me recap Day 3…. I did do my belly dancing excercise and I ended my day with 1424 calories. I’m sstarting to feel good about counting what I eat and following the portion size. I still feel a bit tired when I work out and although I wanted to eliminate carbohydrates from my meals I still eat them. However, I’m really sticking to the portion control and I plan to eliminate as the weeks go by…besides this eating plan is in place for 2 months and every week I shall re-evaluate…. back to  recap: so it was a good day yesterday and I went to bed early and I felt alive this morning. So maybe the 7-8 hours of sleep is not a myth. Now to today!

               I had taken a frozen meal for lunch , but after two bites, I ate the chicken and threw away the rest. That was at 11:00 am and my class last until 1:30 pm, so I knew I was going to be in trouble, since I had already devoured the grapes I brought as a snack. At 12:30, my friend was eating an Aero chocolate bar and she offered a piece and I took it..yes, I did, and I chewed it slowly and it was so good ..but I refuse further offers ..which I’m very proud about. However, at 2:00 I was starving, I live 2 hours away from school so when I arrived at the bus terminal I was starving, all I kept thinking about was the “Cheese pie” that they sell there. There was one left, but, it does not have a nutrional label and I decided to forfeit it for “Miss Vickis” chips which is stated as 320 calories for 1 bag with 18 grams of fat..yikes…I ate the whole bag, but, ate slowly and when I got home I ate a whole wheat kaiser roll with two TBSP of peanut butter ( yes, I did measure it out)….the problem, I really did not want to be eating so much carbohydrates and after I entered my info. ..I realized how distorted my intake was, even though I remained under my maximal caloric intake…. Anyways, tomorrow is another day and I plan to fare better….I’ve schedule my excercise at 10:00 pm tonight ( I really need to work on morning excercises)..I hope everyone is fearing well…Skinny vibes to all….
