Deanna's Diary!

I fully plan on taking advantage of Daylight Savings Time and waking up bright (or dark actually) and early to get part of my workout in. That way I have less to do after work tomorrow night!

I love to start the day off with a morning workout, it seems to instantaneously WAKE ME UP!!! ALL DAY!!

It can be difficult to end a full day with some more working out. Good for some, not so great for others. I'd be awake all night..

Oh wait..I already am. :p​
 
Sarah: Ahhh yes, I suppose you're right :p I'm just a big late-night snacker that I end up overdoing it in calories at the end of the day. I suppose the best thing to do is work on having a little snack after dinner and calling it quits! And I never did get in my AM workout :/

RunningGirl: I HATE waking up early to workout in the AM but once I'm done I feel soooo good for the rest of the day and I love knowing that my workout is done for the day! Unfortunately, just getting up and finding the motivation to workout that early is the biggest struggle.

So yesterday I didn't workout in the AM like I'd hoped. It's not even that I woke up and thought, "F*** it" I just didn't even hear my alarm! And last night was just not a good night, either. I went to the dermatologist yesterday and basically I got this huge blister on the space between the thumb and pointer finger and it hurt sooo bad! I couldn't (and still can't) hold anything because it would hit it and cause excruciating pain. And since I couldn't close my fist, hold a weight, or do anything else, I wasn't able to workout. That, and I had absolutely ZERO motivation to work out. I was feeling good all day but that night I felt really sluggish and just blaaah. Yeah, and my eating wasn't so good either ..

Today, and I apologize if this is gross, I went back to the derm so they could pop the blister (ewwewew). I asked her when I'd be able to do stuff with my hand and she said within the next 24 hours, but I wouldn't want to do any weight lifting or running or anything crazy .. FABULOUS. That's basically what I was asking and she shut me down. So, no workout for me tonight! I feel so lazy not working out for two days in a row, but once I'm good to start again (hopefully tomorrow!) I will just have to kick butt during my workouts to make up for two lost days. At least I did something productive tonight- I made a list of healthy meals and recipes and went out and bought good food to eat :D I hate a baby yogurt and piece of toast for breakfast this morning- no wonder I feel deprived! Can't wait to try my new recipes!

Ok, just one thing I wanted to complain about: I thought daylight savings time was supposed to be a good thing! I figured, "Gee, I get an hour extra sleep and if I go to bed an hour earlier than normal I'll be able to get up really early for sure!" NOPE! I'm still sleeping til around the time I was before and to make things worse, I'm always so tired during my PM workouts, because it feels an hour later, that I don't even want to workout :/ My body better adjust soon because I NEED to workout!

11/2

WORKOUT:
None :(

FOOD:
B: 2/3 c. Egg Beaters, slice of double fiber wheat toast w/ butter + jelly
S: Baked BBQ Lays, 1 piece of a Pazza (pizza-type thing)
L: 1.5 c. Cheerios w/ skim milk and sugar
S: PB crackers
D: Half ham and swiss cheese sub
S: Greek yogurt, some Special K crackers

Good news is, I drank between 64-70 ounces of water! :D Just what I was aiming for.

11/3

WORKOUT:
None ..

FOOD:
B: FiberOne yogurt, slice of double fiber wheat toast w/ butter
L: PB+J
S: Chocolate cupcake (I always get a small treat at the bakery I work at on Tuesdays, and even though cupcakes aren't the healthiest thing, I only ate one instead of the two I usually get!), Special K crackers and Wheat Thins (this is where I went waaay overboard ..)
D: Half Italian sub
S: FiberOne yogurt, few bites of homemade snack mix

Yeah, definitely no more crackers in this house for a while; they're my weakness!

Ughhh, starting to feel a cold coming on! Of course I'd get a cold when everyone else is getting the flu! :p Hopfully this won't get in the way of my workouts.

Need to get some rest to stop this cold and I'm gonna try to get up early AGAIN in the AM for a workout (;

-D
 
Stayed home sick today (though I realized I wasn't even sick..) and actually managed to eat well! Last time I was home for awhile I ate out my whole house. I tried some new healthy recipes today and apparently they kept me pretty full!

WORKOUT:
30 min cardio

FOOD:
B: French toast sticks, chocolate Teddy Grahams - 400 cal
L: Cheese pizza w/ FiberOne and oat crust - 300 cal
S: Babybell cheese - 60 cal
D: Lean Cuisine mac and cheese, broccoli - 325 cal
S: Chocolate "cake" thing - 250 cal
MISC SNACKS: Grazed on quite a few Teddy Grahams and chocolate chips ..

Well, today's eating would've been great but the snacking really gets me! You don't think about how a few calories here and there really add up but they do! AHH gotta quit the grazing thing. Worked out a little bit tonight, too. I was gonna follow up the cardio with some strength training but I was feeling a bit light-headed. Plus, the cardio was way intense I felt a little sick after.

Actually, I'm just feeling a little sick in general today. Soo tired, going to bed!

-D
 
Hey Deanna! Here is the program I used for running :) You are going to have to create an account before you are able to access it. It is an 8 week program - if the link doesn't work let me know!!!



~ Sarah
 
DAY ONE OF MY 4-WEEK CHALLENGE!

I originally had a "challenge" with myself that was 8 weeks long, but I've been slacking severely, so I'm changing it to a 4-week challenge :X The end date is still the same, so it's basically just pushing through the last 4 weeks and reaching the new goals I've set!

GOALS:
Drop one dress size (putting me at about a size 8)
Get weight to 140's (ideally the mid-low range)
Run a 12-15 minute mile (honestly, I'm not sure if this is too much time or too little! So the closer to 10 minutes, the better)
Be able to do 8 REAL pushups (I usually do those "girly" ones and even those are half-assed)
Have every day have a colored sticker (I put stickers on a calender that represent how I did with eating and working out that day, whereas black circles means BAD DAY!)

Totally doable! I just have to get my mind focused on those goals for ONE MONTH. Then, of course, I'll keep going and set up more goals, but for now, telling myself it's just one month makes things easier for me :) I don't have specific guidelines to follow really, just eat 1200-1500 calories a day and workout between 50-90 minutes a day. I put stickers on a calender I have to show if I've had a good eating day, workout day, or overall day that I use and sometimes I cut myself too much slack when giving myself a sticker! So I'm only giving myself a sticker when I've followed the day's plan to a T. What sucks the most is that the doctor says I shouldn't exercise for another week, on top of last week where I was told not to. WTF! That is setback. Tonight, though, I couldn't NOT workout, so I went on On Demand and did a 20 minutes "Bollywood Dance" workout and a 20 minute pilates workout. Normally, this wouldn't be good, but since I wasn't expecting to workout at all today, I'm happy with myself! I should be able to get back to actually working out (and starting my running regimine!) in a few days, rather than another week WOOO!

WORKOUT:
20 minute dance workout
20 minutes pilates

FOOD:
B: English muffin w/ peanut butter - 280
S: Apple Cinnamon granola bar - 130
L: Pita pizza - 260
S: Teddy Grahams w/ chocolate chips (yeah, oops) - 160
D: Lean Cuisine macaroni and cheese, broccoli - 300
S: FiberOne yogurt, Apple Cinnamon bar - 180
And I snacked on Teddy Grahams a few times when I got the urge to eat (which was quite a few times :X) Sooo, probably around 150 extra calories.

Overall, ate under 1500 calories which was my goal! I felt soo guilty eating the Teddy Grahams/chocolate chip mixture I had, even though it wasn't too many calories. It just made me feel weak, like I couldn't avoid the temptation! Definitely need to quite the grazing (I feel like I say that often..) because it's extra calories just adding up! Good news though, I had an epiphany the other night that if I just say "NO!" when I want to go for seconds, eat something unhealthy, or eat when I'm not hungry, I actually listen to myself most times!

I also realized something really important that is probably what makes saying "no" to things so difficult: I don't WANT to say no. I mean, I want to lose weight and get healthy but I also REALLY want those blueberry muffins. Maybe that's normal, but I came to the conclusion that that is my big problem- I can't say "no" because I don't want to! Getting my mind on the right track and automatically know that being healthy and in shape trumps a treat that will only taste good for a few minutes EVERY. TIME. Then I'll finally be able to kick the bad eating habits!

-D
 
Sarah: THANK YOU! I'm so pumped to start! My friend actually came up to me today and was like, "Let's start going to the gym, I need to run." Um, PERFECT! My goal is to finish this program and run a race, thanks to your inspiration! Though I'm not sure how many races take place in January ..
 
WORKOUT:
20 minutes yoga

FOOD:
B: 1/2 c. oatmeal w/ cinnamon, sugar, and some brown sugar; apple cinnamon granola bar
S/L: PB crackers
S: mini butter cookie, FiberOne yogurt, handful Teddy Grahams
D: Ham and swiss sandwhich on white, Baked Lays, mini Krackel candy and mini PB cup
S: Handful Wheat Things, handful Teddy Grahams, 2 Apple Cinnamon bars, apple

Arghhh, my eating is soo messed up! I think if I could just figure out a rough idea for an eating schedule, I wouldn't snack so much! Everytime I pass by the pantry I grab a handful of Teddy Grahams or crackers, or when i pass by the fridge, some chocolate chips. Note to self: NO MORE BUYING TEDDY GRAHAMS OR WHEAT THINS! Seriously, they are my weakness and are sooo easy to just nibble here and there which adds up to basically me eating an actual snack or two .. I'm still trying to work on an eating pattern that will work for me- one day at a time I guess!

Still can't workout, so I technically haven't scheduled an workouts. Last night I did some low impact workouts and tonight I did 20 minutes of yoga. Not much by any means, especially when my normal workouts arwe about 60-90 minutes of high-intensity cardio and strength training. I wasn't actually going to do any type of workout tonight, but since I ate a little over the calorie target, I had to just so I could put that sticker on my calender! Hated the workout, by the way, probably didn't help that it was midnight and I have a killer headache!

I'm hoping tomorrow I'll be able to get back to working out HARD! If not, definitely Thursday :) I'll be heading back to the gym to start running just as soon as I find my iPod (or buy a new one..) Ugh, major headache so heading to bed!

-D
 
Just wanted to post real quick before I work out! Hopefully this will make my posts a litttttle shorter since I basically write a novel everytime I come on here!

Sooo, last night I went to bed somewhat early with the intentions of waking up at 5:30 this morning to get half my workout done. Did it happen? Umm NOPE! I really need to learn my lesson that i's PHYSICALLY IMPOSSIBLE for me to wake up any earlier than 6:30 in the morning if I've worked the night before. It totally screwed me over and I ended up being late cause I had to shower and stuff, but I digress. Thankfully work let me out an hour early tonight which means working out an hour early sooo I'll have more time to relax tonight :D

I've eaten sooo good (mostly) today, so I'll post everything up later tonight after my workout! Tonight is an hour of strength (while watching The Vampire Diaries, YAY! Love that show) then half an hour of cardio. Check back later!

-D
 
I totally forgot to post yesterday! It was soo late and I was already in bed when I remembered, so I was gonna make a post from my phone but I fell asleep before I could! I honestly don't remember what I ate and I'm too tired to remember, but I did NOT get any stickers on my calender, just a big black X because I didn't workout and ate a few too many calories.

FOOD:
B: Yoplait yogurt, apple cinnamon granola bar - 230 calories
S: 3 mini Halloween candies - 150 calories?
L: Pita PB+J - 300 calories
S: PB crackers - 190
D: DD ham and cheese flatbread sandwhich - 390 calories
S: Yoplait yogurt, slice of toast w/ butter - 175 calories
TOTAL: 1435 calories

WORKOUT:
50 min strength training
30 min cardio

YAYYAYYA FINALLY had a GREAT DAY :D I haven't had a legit workout like that in probably over a week and it feel sooo good! I'm so excited because I've actually come up with an eating plan that is easy for me and never leaves me hungry. Ok, so it's more like a schedule than a "plan" but whatever it works! I think that's been what my biggest problem with eating is: I can't find the right pattern that is gonna work for me. Well I think I've come up with the solution and it's worked wonderfully today!

Tomorrow is my "free" day and what was originally supposed to be my off day, too. Today was the first day I could actually workout, so that only leaves me 4 days, including today, to workout. We'll see. I have the intention to tomorrow afternoon, but if other things get in the way, I won't be too concerned.

Sooo tired, heading to bed!

-D
 
HEYY! omg how are youuu? i need to get myself together -- im reading through your journal and youre doing such a good job with logging your food! AHH i need to workout toooo!! i want to get down to about 140 in 4 weeks too. maybe sooner if possible! lets do this together! :)

hope u have a great weekend! xoxo lux
 
Lux: I'm dionng pretty well! Great to see you back on the forums and back to working out :D You were def missed around here. YES! Sounds like a good plan, we can totally get into the 140's in a month, if that!

Ahh, I've been such a bad poster lately. I've just been feeling soo overwhelmed with everything lately that by the time I'm finally done everything it's nearly 1AM and I'm too exhausted to post anything. Unfortunately, this is also affecting my workouts because I barely have time for them! I'll admit I am a procrastinator, which sucks up a lot of time, but it's still so hard for me to keep everything going without DYING! Ugh, I CANNOT wait for Thanksgiviing break! Even though I plan on fully enjoying Thanksgiving, I'm still going to use my break to get my life in order! Seriously, know that break is next week is the only thing keeping me going. I'm so disappointed with myself though that I've hardly been making any progress :/

To sum up Friday and Saturday: TERRIBLE. I went waaaay overboard on Friday that I made myself sick and had to cancel my plans for that night. I'm so ashamed I did that to myself. But the funny thing is, I ate around the same amount of calories that I did this summer, but this time it was so much that I felt sick. Hopefully that's my stomach shrinking! I realized that I need to come up with a seperate plan for Friday-Sunday because they don't follow the same schedule as my Mon-Thurs. I think having a plan will help me IMMENSELY. Yesterday was better, but still not a "good" day. Today would have been a good day but we had a little going away party today and I didn't plan out what I was going to eat, so I didn't do so well. Just like, an extra 200 calories, but that adds up. Plus, I didn't work out (ugh, sooo much work to do I had barely any time!) And I know it's not a good excuse, but it's hard for me to do well when things pop up that get in the way of my goal that don't usually happen (Ex: going-away party, having a ton of work to do) and that things like that happen in "real life", but I would really like to kick off a permanent healthy eating habit with clear days that make it easy to follow my plan. Does any of that make any sense? Oh well.

Way to tired to post food and workout, but I pretty much summed it up up there ^^

-D
 
Hello Deanna,

My Apologies for being gone for a couple of weeks, no internet. ;)

But I am BACK, FROM OUTER SPACE!!!

Sorry to hear you've caught a bit of a cold here. I hope you get better soon, and can get back into it!!

TTYL :seeya:​
 
RunningGirl: Hey girl! Glad to see you back :) Yeah, sometimes I'm not able to get on here caue my internet is soooo sloooow and I don't have the time to sit around an wait for it to do something! :p

WORKOUT:
80 min cardio

FOOD:
B: 2 c. Cheerios w/ skim milk and some sugar
L: Ham and cheese sub
S: Apples w/ PB, handfulish Frosted Mini Wheats, tablespoon of chocolate chips
D: Mini cheese pizza, broccoli
S: 100 cal Yoplait yogurt

Not bad, not bad. Finally got off my lazy butt and worked out! That little voice that tells me, "Oh noo, what's the point in working out?" and "50 minutes is enough, let's go have dinner" was present, but I was able to quiet it down and not listen to that ridiculousness. Also figured out my eating/working out schedule so I'm not constantly thinking about when I'm gonna eat again and what not.

Bad news, though: my gym membership has been cancelled :( I cancelled it about a month ago because I never went there anymore, but since I'd already paid for November, I could still go until the 17th! I'm soo mad I totally forgot to tell them NOT to cancel it! I mean, I can easily sign up again, but there's that dumb startup fee (I believe) and I really liked my membership number, it was so easy to remember :( Ahh, I'll probably end up re-joining since I NEED to get running and the cold isn't good for my asthma until my lungs get used to running!

Bedtime for me! Got called out of work tomorrow which means no late night workout and I have time for everything else on my to-do list :p

-D
 
Hey Deanna, great post today. You're meals are shapin up!

WoW 80 mins of cardio, you're ROCKIN IT now!!

I wonder if they'd consider signing you back up if you asked about it? Just by saying something, like I understand that you have these policies for a reason because there are a lot of ppl that might take advantage (blah blah blah), I've really been working hard on myself (*OMG DROOOOL :drool5: does anyone but me get ads of half naked dudes on their page, with chocolate abs of steel?) Sorry, and my attention is back)

so working hard on myself, & (maybe you've been there for more than a couple months?) I was wondering if you'd be able to pardon my cancellation? As I'd like to continue coming to this Gym without having to re-pay the sign up fee.

ORRRRR

Sometimes when I've been on Craigslist (kind of scandalous) or other sites like that where ppl try to sell their memberships with no sign up fee's, and they can transfer the name to yours & you get what they've paid for, of course what you'd now be paying for. I've found a few of those lately, and I'm like, DAAAUMN if only it was a closer facility.

Anyways, Have a goodnight! :)​
 
RunningGirl: Aw thanks! I actually didn't even think about politely asking them, I'll have to try that out! IDK about the craigslist thing, sounds kinda shady! haha

WORKOUT:
45 min strength training
30 min cardio

FOOD:
B: 2 c. Cheerios w/ skim milk + sugar
L: ham and cheese sub
S: plain bagel w/ plain cream cheese, Teddy Grahams
D: 2 c. Cheerios w/ skim milk + sugar
S: Babybell cheese

Good day, almost! Those freakin' Teddy Grahams literally came out of nowhere and landed on my counter, so I couldn't resist! ARGH! Threw them away, though :) Although I went over my 1500 calorie limit today, but I'm not stressing because I had a good workout! Getting back into the routine and I hope I can stick with it!

Read something in Allure magazine today about willposer. They basically said it is linked with a gene that has to do with other addictions, like drugs and alcohol. But really what I remember is that we have a "self-control muscle" which is where we store our willpower. They gave tips on how to strengthen that muscle to have better control over your decisions and what not. I suggest checking it out, very interesting.

Alrighty, heading to bed! Tomorrow is my "free day", which I'll have better control of this week as opposed to last week's disaster! Also planning on working out in the afternoon because I didn't work out Monday ..

Night!
-D
 
Pretty decent weekend, though no workouts :X I STILLL cannot seem to eat any lower than 1500 calories, which is my max I allot myself. Lately it's been like, 1600 because I graze kind of a lot .. Yeahh, no more! This week is gonna be FANTASTIC. Though on Thanksgiving I'm not micromanaging my calories and obsessing over how many calories that slice of pumpkin pie has and what it does to my total calories for the day. Nope. I'm gonna enjoy my Thanksgiving, but come Friday, it's back to watching what I eat. And ever though I'm working Black Friday at my work and there's gonna be a bunch of food for us, I'm just going to indulge a little, being careful that everything fits into my scheduled calories. I refuse to deny myself of yummy treats during the holidays! I just won't go overboard :)

Ok so last night, I went out for pizza at my favvvvorite pizza place with some of my friends. I usually get 2 slices of cheese pizza and sooo wanted to last night, especially cause I was starving. But nope, I only got one! At first I was like, Wahh I want two pizza not just this measly slice ): But low and behold, after eating and taking taking a break and chatting with my friends, I realized, HEY! I didn't even need another piece! Not a big deal, sure, and even though I was legitamately hungry like, 2 hours later, still it's progress in my book! My eating habits yesterday were phenom and they better stick around.

Back to the week tomorrow, booo! But thankfully I've only got two days and then Thanksgiving break! YAY!

-D
 
hey hun! omg so proud of you about hte pizza thing! u have AMAZINGGG will power. i was out with coworkers whiel they ate burgers the other day.. i ate like a few fries. soo hard! haha.

but anyway im glad to see youre doing well! i knwo you asked about my food intake as of lately.. i havent been working out and ive been eating acutally wahtever i want. in large quantities. i ate myself to death on indian food all summer. hence hte gain wegiht. but since ive been losing the weight -- i usually just eat a piece of fruit or a serving of cereal in the morning.. some fruit for lunch adn maybe a sandwich, chicken,m rice, or basically whatever i want. i just dont eat in large quantities - which is basically waht my problem was. and on teh weekends, im still going out to grab a drink ro two wtih friends nad eating out. but oi think as long as i dont bingeee im fine. :) i want to live normally. when i was doing my workout hardcore last year -- it was just really draining cutting back so much. i also lost weight really quickly but-- ughh it was kinda hard. i think now that im so close tyo my goal weight.. i can slow down the hardcore diet thing. anyway best of luck!

hope u have a great thanksgiving! keep in touch! <3
 
olux: Yay congrats on avoiding the burgers! I probably wouldn't have been able to ..:X Your eating is so good, girl! Now I gotta get mine looking like that :)

Oops, sorry for the lack of posting. This dumb computer is sooo slow and getting to this thread takes like, 10 minutes ughh. Thankfully I'll be getting a laptop soon, so logging in won't be an issue!

Anyway, hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving! Mine was good. Didn't eat a whole lot of the actual dinner because the dessert is my primary focus on Thanksgiving. Had some mashed potatoes, turkey, 2.5 rolls with butter, and broccoli. We ended up with 5 different pies/cakes, so for desert, I just had a little bit of each. Of course, before that, I had been pre-gaming with the extra pumpkin harvest cake we accidently bought. I'm a sucker for anything pumpkin and my mother thought it was a brilliant idea to take out the extra cake and have some the night before Thanksgiving! I was doing so well not even wanting anything, and then I had some and .. I had more. And a little bit more. By Thanksgiving night my stomach was upset and I was soo full.

And Thursday wasn't even my bad day.

For me, the day AFTER Thanksgiving is the WORST because, instead of making healthy sandwhiches with the leftover turkey, I'm hovering over my kitchen counter with a fork and a box of half eaten pie. Um, not good. If I hadn't started eating it at all, I'd be fine. But since I started, there was no going back .. I worked the midnight shift at work until 6AM for all the crazy Black Friday shopping. We had a lot of food in the break room, but fortunately, I was allergic to most of it so it was easy to say no. So a recap of my day:
Orange juice, bagel with cream cheese. Cupcake. Pie. Pie. Pumplin harvest cake. Pie. Pumpkin harvest cake. Lean Cuisine mac and cheese. Seriously. I didn't have a real meal all day, practically, considering my bagel was at 2AM, cupcake at the normal breakfast time around 6, then PIEPIEPIE the rest of the day. And I noticed when I ate (which was straight out of the box, mind you. I had no patience for plates) I didn't even think about what I was doing- I was just inhaling it. SO BAD! After all that dessert, I had to end my day witha REAL meal, so I'm feeling a bit better. All the pie has been eaten annnd, after stuffing my face with cake, I threw out the rest. DONE! Tomorrow it's back to regular eating and no more holiday food (til Christmas!).

The good thing about Thursday was, I GOT IN MY WORKOUT! I HATE waking up in the morning and working out so I told myself I'd do it after dinner .. Thankfully, I knew better and worked out that morning so I could come home and rest before work! So glad I did! I did 50 minutes of strength training and 30 minutes of cardio. I couldn't done more cardio but .. whatever haha. No workout today, though, I didn't have much time between getting home from work, sleeping, a few errands, then back to work, but that's ok! I still have this weekend which will make it 5 days of exercise!

The small flicker of good in my day? I avoided another cupcake during my second shift tonight! But uh .. then I went home and ate some cake.

Long, probably confusing post. Sorry if I rambled! Lots to say, plus I'm tired :p Hope everyone enjoyed their Thanksgiving and did a little better than I did :D

PS: Don't even remember food/exercise for Wednesday, but I do remember it was a good day!

-D
 
Pretty good day, did well with my calories and worked out! I got home at 8:30 and I had just about convinced myself that a workout was not necessary, but then the rational side of me took over and I managed to! It's like I consider weekends to be different from weekdays, where eating wrll and working out isn't as important as it is on weekdays .. so weird. But that's changing and I'm so happy about today :)

B: 1 c. Egg Beaters, 2 slices toast w/ butter and jelly
L: 2 large slices cheese pizza
S: 100 calorie yogurt
D: Lean Cuisine mac and cheese
S: Mandarin orange slices

Feelin' a little hungry, so I might get a small bowl of Fiber One cereal, even though I have a rule to never eat past midnight. Hmm ..

Off to bed, soo exhausted!

-D
 
Soo last night was crazy and I was up til 2:30AM working on a paper so I had no time to post here :/ I did 50 min of strength training before work and planned on doing my 30 min of cardio after, but those plans were interuppted and totally not my fault that I couldn't workout! Haha. At least I didn't talk myself out of working out, though; I fully intended to come home and finish my workout! Eating was good. I had a cupcake, which had more calories than I planned for a snack, so instead of a 500 calorie dinner I had planned, I stuck with my 290 calorie Lean Cuisine! Buuuut, around 1 this morning I had a bowl of Cheerios because I was still up so late. Not sure whether I should consider that part of my eating for Sunday or today .. I consider those the "lost hours" of the night when I don't know where those calories belong! I don't usually eat like that anymore, so I guess it doesn't matter much.

WORKOUT:
80 min cardio

FOOD:
B: Cheerios w/ milk and sugar
L: Baked BBQ Lays
S: 10 crackers w/ peanut butter, Cool Whip ..
D: Cheerios w/ milk and sugar
S: 1/4 Ben and Jerry's Half Baked

Food .. not so good. But I saw it coming. I had the most stressful, aggravating morning and it didn't get any better from there. I probably cried or almost cried a good 5 times today from stress and stuff. Add that to the fact that it's TOTM, my snacking got a little out of hand and I had am ice cream craving. The oversnacking was most likely from such a small lunch, but I wasn't hungry then plus my planned eating schedule got messed up and I went overboard with the crackers and peanut butter .. Honestly, I'm not fretting. I had a bad day and TOTM caused me to snack more than usual (though the crackers and PB kept me full for like, 6 hours!) so I'm letting myself off the hook. I mean, I did do 80 minutes of straight cardio tonight so I think that almost cancels it out ..

New day, new month tomorrow! My December goal is to reach AT LEAST 149, which is about 10 pounds, and fit into a size 8! I can do this!
