Katie (courage to be's) Fresh Start

wow... i haven't posted for a few days! My schedule got a bit busy this weekend - and eating, while not terrible, certainly wasn't really good.

so let's just focus on today and move on!

bkfst: honey bunches of oats w/ almonds & skim milk (170) + 12 oz h2o
lunch: michelina's lean gourmet - beef pepper steak & rice (270) + applesauce (50) + fat free chocolate pudding (80)
snack: 1/3 monster cookie + coffee (80)
dinner: chicken fried rice ( ) + glass of wine (90)
out at concert: pretzels (160) + 2 vodka/cranberries (400)

total cals:
h2o:
exercise:

oh, and I've figured out that I'm eating too soon in the morning after taking my acid reflux meds... so if I eat later breakfast (9:30 or so) then lunch comes later... and so does snack and dinner... but it may help with the later night cravings?

weight loss is very slow for me. I haven't been posting here as much, but I have been doing fairly good with the whole eating thing. If i just got to the gym a few more times a week I think I'd be good.

dinner: rice and chicken (350ish) + broccoli (30) + rum and coke (270)
dessert: frozen yogurt (100) + strawberries (25)

total cals: 1445
h2o: 16
exercise: 45 min elliptical/8.3 miles

road trip distance: 1.5 miles

ALSO - I saw a thread for a workout "road trip"... I'm very excited about moving back to Iowa and just calculated that it is 605 miles from here to my new home... so until I move back in December, I'm going to try to get that many miles in workouts! For the elliptical and running stuff I can do, I'll just include the actual miles... other activities, 1/2 hour = 1 mile... SO this mornings workout = 1.5 miles... I'll continue to add to it as the days go on.

*sigh* i'm not quite sure why I suggested mickey d's for dinner... especially when i told myself that this morning I was starting a new... and i did start with the exercise! but it seems like whenever i have the exercise thing down, I mess up on food and when i get the food right, i can't find time to exercise... if I can get it all balanced, then i might have a chance!

The black and white picture from your wedding is about the prettiest thing I have ever seen! It has made me smile. Thank you!
 
well - i didn't do too bad today... but i could have had something different for lunch - we had a luncheon at school, but i could have opted for the salad bar instead of the hot buffet line... and i could have skipped the cobbler... the # of calories was fine - but did my body get really nourished with all of that? could i have eaten more lower calorie foods? yes.

I did get back into the exercise today - and worked out hard! it was nice =)
 
i'm recording my calories on fitday now... it might help me analyze things better.

My calories for today: 1767, w/ 40 oz of tea drunk (water) and 12 oz h20 ... but no exercise - too much schoolwork.
