Well, still writing. And still fat. Not majorly depressed today, so let's just call it even.

Breakfast:
Coffee
Banana
Sun flower seeds

Lunch:
Chicken salad croissant
Cashews
Dried Pineapple

Dinner:
Jalapeño Pizza
Cinna Sticks

If not for the take-out for dinner, it would have again been an acceptable day. Portion control was better during the day today. No exercise still though. Really, REALLY, REALLY need to get into some.

Tuesday, August 24, 2010

Well, still writing, but still not dieting. I'm literally depressed with how fat I am each morning, and yet so depressed and tired on the whole that I don't really do anything about it. Circle of depression and fat. Bah. I'm hoping that writing may pull me out of it.

Breakfast:
Coffee
Banana

Lunch:
Tuna fish sandwich
Cashews

Dinner:
Pepperoni Pizza


No exercise, I really should get into the habit of taking a walk at lunch at work, but we've just been so swamped and ridiculous that I feel bad if I take more time than it takes to swallow a sandwich at my desk and keep on chugging.

Day 3 of consistency. Nice.

Breakfast:
Coffee

Lunch:
Leftover toterllini & garlic bread

Dinner:
Pizza - 2 slices pepperoni


No exercise again, and I meant to eat better for dinner, but I got out of work very late and just begged Marc to grab take-out. *Sigh* I must get better at this

Tuesday, August 17, 2010

Ok, at the very least, at least I've got two blog days in a row!

Breakfast:
Oatmeal
Coffee w/Splenda

Lunch:
Salad & One Crab Sushi Roll

Dinner:
Leftover Tortellini & Garlic Bread w/Olivio

Still no exercise, because work has been CRAZY. Need to get less fat. And stat!

Monday, July 12, 2010

For those of you who don't know, I turned 27 on July 6th. New year, new me. I've been slacking off on both the dieting and the blogging about it. I know that I do not want to stay fat forever, but it is hard to get motivated, because let's face it: I love food, and I kinda of hate exercising.

Today I ate

Breakfast
1 packet Quaker Oatmeal

Lunch
Leftover chicken and pasta

Dinner
Spaghetti and meatballs

Dessert
100 Calorie YoPlait Caramel Yogurt


If I were 16 with a high metabolism, this wouldn't be bad. But I'm 27, and due to personal life problems have been eating like a cow and laying around like an even lazier cow for the last month. I'm blogging again in an effort to make some change, ANY change, in hope that by starting the change snowball, other things will flow with it.

Sunday, April 18, 2010

So, I fell off the wagon again. I had a road trip spanning Syracuse, Fredonia, and Rochester, so I basically just ate whatever was in front of me for four days.

My mom says she started the South Beach Diet, and lost 5 pounds between Monday and Friday, I might give that a go and see how it goes. With it, you can eat however many calories you want supposedly, as long as they are not carbs.

Thursday, April 8, 2010

Ok, again today, I am shocked that my calorie count is so low, because I just ate crap all day long. I really do need to get to the grocery store, so that I can get healthy calories and carbs into me.

Weight = 178 lbs. Calories today = 1550

Breakfast:
Dunkin Donuts Everything bagel w/margarine
Dunkin Donuts Coffee with milk and splenda

Lunch:
Taco Bell Baja Fish Tacos
Hush Puppies

Mid Afternoon Snack:
100 Calories Pepperidge Farm Cheesy Crackers

Dinner:
12 Chicken Wings, Honey Garlic & Mild Flavored


Again, no exercise. Again, I blame this on the two jobs and being tired. However, the being tired has once again saved me from the late night snacking. Mmmmm sleep, tastier than food some nights. I do really have to start exercising though, because I go on a cruise on June 3, 2010, and I want to be skinny, blond, and tan. But then, doesn't everyone?

Wednesday, April 7, 2010

Ok, today I thought was just going to be a crapshoot, because I have not bought groceries and pretty much had to purchase breakfast and lunch. However, eating crap all day pretty much got me less calories than the copious amounts of food I've been eating while dieting. However, probably not as much nutritional value, so I probably still lose in the long run.

Weight Today = 178 lbs; Calories Today = 1450

Breakfast:
Dunkin Donuts Everything bagel w/margarine
Dunkin Donuts Coffee with milk and splenda

Lunch:
Chicken Salad Wrap w/ Tomato and Roasted Red Peppers
Small side Macaroni Salad

Mid Afternoon Snack:
100 Calories Pepperidge Farm Cheesy Crackers

Dinner:
Sweet Potato Fries with Salt


I just felt sick when I went home today, so I went to sleep. I got up later and heated up some sweet potato fries, cause they were easy to make and looked good. Then I went back to sleep. So again, no late night snacking, due to my intense desire to get more sleep. Still no exercising, though, and that is not good for my calorie count or my need to actually start losing weight.

Monday, March 29, 2010

Alright, today's not gonna be awesome, because I do not have a lot of groceries. And because we're going to the movies tonight.

Weight 178, calories - entirely too many

Breakfast
Banana

Lunch
Smart Ones: Pasta Primavera
Ritz Crackers - 140 Calories

Dinner
Taco Bell Quesadilla & Cheesy Potatos

After Dinner Snack
Movie Theatre Popcorn
Milk Duds

Man, crap day for diet all in all. No exercise either today. But I did get to see the love of my life, John Cusack in "Hot Tub Time Machine" ... which wasn't all that bad, but that's because I did not expect too much from it to begin with.

Sunday, March 28, 2010

Fell off the wagon again. I did diet on Wednesday and Thursday, I just didn't keep track of what I ate. I definitely did not diet on Friday, Saturday, Sunday, because I went to NYC to visit some friends and see some folks who were in town from California. I had copious amount of fattening food and loved it. But I also did a ton of walking around the city, so I feel like that might make up for some of it.

Weight - 178 lbs. Calories - entirely too many.

Well, here's to hopefully being better from now on, as always.

Monday, March 22, 2010

Alright, game on. I know I won't make it all the way through the diet tonight, because I planned a pasta dinner out, because it's the only day I don't have a double, and cooking one meal for Marc and myself is just easier sometimes. Weight = 178. Calories = somewhere in the 2200 range. And at work, I have started taking the long route to the bathroom, which involves an extra flight of stairs, so even though lunchtime exercise hasn't started yet, I feel like this may be helpful.

Breakfast:
Apple
Dannon Light and Fit Strawberry

Midmorning Snack:
Balance Bar - Carb Well caramel

Lunch:
Smart Ones: Chicken Broccoli Fettuccine Alfredo
Ritz Crackers - 140 calories worth
Banana

Midafternoon Snack:
Orange

Dinner:
Creamy Basil Pasta
Garlic Bread

Minus dinner, not a bad day. And there was no post-dinner snacking, because I was wicked tired and fell asleep at 9:00 pmwhat

Sunday, March 21, 2010

Ok, so I fell off the wagon on the weekend again. I'm trying to diet during the week, and eat what I want on the weekend so long as I work out on the weekend. Not so much working out this weekend, as I had a work party and work to attend, and I made a fondant cake of Homer for the Home Depot. He was super cute, perhaps I shall post a photo of him later. However, the work party also had tons of fattening foods, which I ate. However, I was paid to be there, so that was kind of neat.

I promise to be better this week. As always. I will get there though, spring is looming and purchasing a swim suit for my vacay scares me.

Wednesday, March 17, 2010

St. Patrick's day. It's my Irish heritage, so I ate well tonight. Which was possibly a poor decisio, because my weight is still 178, and my calorie intake was somewhere around 2500. Diet fail. But a happy St. Paddy's day.

Breakfast:
Apples
Dannon, Light & Fit Nonfat Strawberry Yogurt

Mid Morning Snack:
Balance Bar, Triple Chocolate

Lunch:
Weight Watchers Smart Ones Fettucini Alfredo with Chicken
Orange

Mid afternoon snack:
Pepperidge Farm Whole Grain 15 Grain Hearty Double Protein with Olivio

Dinner:
Chicken quesadilla
Cheesy bacon potato skins


Dinner was awesome, but way tooo many calories! I did get some Wii Fit in today, so there's the helpful benefit of exercise, but really, all in all today was too many calories, and even though there was some exercise, there was not enough.

Monday, March 15, 2010

Another failed day. I managed to skip both breakfast and lunch today, existing on diet coke and water alone. This is because work got RIDICULOUSLY busy, and I didn't really even have time to breath, let alone think, let alone eat apparently.

Marc also managed to forget his mother's birthday! So we went out to dinner with her tonight, we went to Red Lobster, where I had pasta. I know I'm supposed to be cutting down on the carbs, but if I'm dining out, I may as well get what I love.

I also did not exercise today. A failed day. Boo.

Sunday, March 14, 2010

Fell of the blogging and dieting wagons again today. Because of daylight savings, I slept much longer that intended, and upon waking, because I hadn't eaten all day, decided it was acceptable to go to the Chinese Buffet with Marc. Epic decision on my part. Tasty, tasty food, too many calories and loads of regrets. And I had ice cream afterwards, because if you're going to ditch the diet for a day, you may as well ditch it all the way.

Weight 178 - and we wonder why!

Friday, March 5, 2010

Now, I know I'm going to fall off the wagon tonight, because I have two birthday celebrations to go to, and one involves dinner out. And if I'm going to buy food at a restaurant, I am certainly not going to purchase the diet option.

Weight today 179lbs - still ick

Breakfast
Apple
Activia Light Yogurt - Raspberry

Lunch
Smart Ones - Pasta Primavera

Mid afternoon snack
Hot pretzel w/mustard (made fresh at the biergarten)

Dinner
Fig and Cheese plate
Bread
Coconut Curry Pasta (the small portion)
(All from New World Bistro - sooooo tasty!)

After dinner
6 beers - Bud light

A bad day for dieting, but a good day for birthdays, and tasty, tasty food. No exercise or yoga today, but I did buy batteries today to put in the Wii fit next week... so that should help the exercise situation.

Monday, March 1, 2010

Ok, so while the dieting has not kicked it up a notch yet, at least the recording of what I've been eating has been going better.

Breakfast
Orange

Mid morning snack
Protein Bar - Carb Well - Balance Bar

Lunch
Smart Ones - Tuna Noodle Gratin

Dinner
Chicken Francese with Pasta
Too many pieces of bread
Salad

After dinner
Sweet tarts

Ok, so I did not eat my disgusting yogurt today, couldn't help it... couldn't force myself to do it, and I also forgot to pack some veggies, because I'm out of plastic baggies. And I didn't eat my banana, because I just didn't want it... I'm going to have to do better at eating consistently tomorrow, and keeping my metabolism up!

Alright, so Marc and I both had the night off, so we went out to dinner. And I'm supposed to meet my sister for dinner tomorrow. However, I really need to get on this diet, because I got into my fat pants today, and my fat pants are tight. Which is NO GOOD. And it is now MARCH. And MARCH = springtime, and springtime = too soon to bathing suit time for comfort. MUST, MUST, MUST start exercising. Maybe I can go for a lunchtime walk each day at work. That might help. I know I won't today or tomorrow, because I am too busy and planned my day poorly. Maybe Wednesday. Yes, Wednesday will start the hardcore dieting and hardcore exercise. If I'm not behaving after Wednesday, yell at me!

I know, I've been on hiatus.

Due to a serious bout with the flu, even though I had my flu shot this year, I was eating whatever I wanted, not exercising, and not really giving a rat's behind about the results. I just wanted to get better, and to be able to breath out of my nose again. So having nearly achieved those two things, I hope to start up on recording my eating and exercising habits again tomorrow.
