Stay on track!

ASo I had to go out and buy new pants last night. The ones I bought about a month ago, no longer fit. They are too big! I haven't lost any weight since then but I am still losing inches, or at least some half-inches. I pretty much wear a solid 8 now, whereas before it was 10 with sometimes an 8. I even tried on some 8's in one brand last night and I would have needed a six to fit into them. That's c razy! I know it depends on the brand but I have never worn a consistent 8 before. How exciting.


Breakfast - 40g instant oatmeal (plain) - 150
1/4 cup milk - 24
1tbsp brown sugar - 35
coconut - 80
raisins - 100
12 almonds - 90
total - 479

Lunch - sweet potato and black bean chili (I made a huge batch once and froze it in lunch containers) - will say 500?
979



Dinner --
56g linguine - 200
6 meatballs - 180
oil - 75
tomato sauce with lentils - 125
1/4 cup alfredo - 80

1639

And then, for the disaster moment, I had this sweet tooth that would not go away and I had no discipline in my body, so I made gingersnap cookies and I ate three of them. They are, apparently now that I am figuring out the math, about 140 cals per cookie. That is 420 extra cals, which brings my daily total to 2059.

How disappointing.

I overestimated a lot on the dinner, particularly because the sauce wasn't actually served with the shiskabobs, I just brushed it on and it all dripped off into the bottom of the pan. But still..

AHad a rough weekend. Went out drinking on Saturday night, ate a bunch of terrible food at dinner, then spent the night praying to the procelain gods. So I guess I'm not really sure how many calories I ate, since most of it came back up. How classy of me. The one or two times a year that I actually drink, I am so not used to it that I get sick. And it's like, debilitating, should I go to the hospital sick. And it's never planned, it just happens.. I get in with some friends and they're buying shots and it's just like... ugh. So I spent all day yesterday sleeping on the couch, couldn't eat anything until later at night. And wouldn't you know, this morning I weighed 154.6! But it's not a loss. Just water weight.


Breakfast -
2 cups kashi - 240
1 cup milk - 90

ASo I did not fall off the wagon... I've been drilling with my unit for the last two weeks. Weighed in at 155.8 this morning. Cheers to maintaining! Especially when there was food everywhere for the event I supported, and I was so busy I didn't have much time to PT.

Ohhhmg I ate so much bread and soup for dinner. I'll say it was 1,000 cals because I have no idea and I want to overestimate a little. It was a broth-based soup at least.

Lunch -
soup from last night (chicken and dumpling, but it's homemade so i know everything that's in it)
est. 500
908
it's basically water with chicken bouillon, shredded rotisserie chicken, no skin, chopped carrots and onions, and the "dumplings" are just flour, buttermilk, salt, and baking powder combined into a dough, rolled flat and pizza-cuttered into 1inx1in squares. I threw them into the roiling broth with carrots and onions to cook, then added the shredded chicken later. Then I mixed in a roux of cornstarch and water to thicken it. there is no oil or anything, since everything was cooked in the broth. the calories from last night were definitely all of the delicious whole-wheat bread with butter from whole foods. and the shredded extra sharp cheese i topped it with! but today for lunch there is no cheese and no bread or butter, just soup.

dinner -
1 tunafish sandwich
- water packed tuna, celery, cashews, shredded carrots, mayo, mustard, salt and pepper. - 300
1 bagel flat - 110

Things I am proud of -
I didn't have dessert even though I was craving it last night.
I went for a run and did situps until failure. I didn't stop during the run.


Things I am not proud of -

I stopped off after work to pick up some new uniforms and the guys at my unit were having beers. I am new, so when they offered me a beer I drank it... and then I drank another one. Eeee!!

AThis weekend was pretty off-track, so I am fasting today. Normally I don't fast just because I'm too active, but I feel like I need a reset and this is a great way to do it. So this morning I had some hot water with chopped lemon, and I'll have some tea around lunch time. I am also going to be continuously drinking water. Tomorrow I will feel refreshed and like I am starting from a clean plate!
