So I went to the shore for the weekend and forgot to blog. Bad Mae, bad bad Mae. Anyway, I ate a LOT of crap at the shore over the weekend, because that's what one does on vacation, eat crap. But now I'm back to the office, and what should be some regulated intake of food, except for the fact that I'm used to being fat. Bah!

Breakfast:
Coffee

Lunch:
Papa John's Breadsticks

Dinner:
Peanut Butter on Toast

Man, I think my eating habits are getting worse. It also does not help that work has us on 10 hour days. Plus I have an hour commute, and a girl does need to sleep some times. So there's no chance at exercise. Bah. Must find more time in the day.

Thursday, August 19, 2010

Day 4 of remembering to write down what I ate, although its also day 4 of stressing out over work, and eating too many calories to combat stress and depression.

Breakfast:
Coffee

Lunch:
Burger & fries

Dinner:
Garlic bread sticks & cinna-sticks!

Too much take out and way too little exercise, must take up running and dieting, must stop stressing and sleeping too much. Ugh.

Wednesday, August 18, 2010

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

Thursday, April 22, 2010

Ok, today, we again have plenty of groceries and good intentions, and I think it went quite well. I still think that I need to restrict hours at my second job so that I can get a gym schedule going on.

Weight today = 178 lbs, Calories consumed = 1300, Calories burned 80 Total calories = 1220 AWESOME!

Breakfast:
Apple
Dannon Light and Fit - Strawberry Banana

Mid Morning Snack:
Banana

Lunch:
Smart Ones - Swedish Meatballs

Mid Afternoon Snack:
Orange
Balance Bar, Mint Cookie

Dinner:
Smart Ones - Three Cheese Ziti

This was a rocking day all in all! All I have to do is add a gym to my routine and I will be kicking some weight off.

Wednesday, April 14, 2010

Alright, having groceries certainly makes dieting easier.

Weight today 178 lbs. Calories consumed = 1550, calories burned = 140 calories ... overall calories = 1410 = AWESOME!

Breakfast:
Banana (well actually half of it, cause half of it was REAL bruised)
YoPlus Light Yogurt, Honey Vanilla

Mid Morning Snack:
Balance Bar, Mint Chip

Lunch:
Healthy Choice, Pumpkin Squash Ravioli

Mid Afternoon Snack:
Orange

Dinner:
Salad: spinach, red leaf lettuce, roasted chicken, tomato, onion, almonds, 1000 island dressing
Healthy Choice French Onion Soup - with low fat croutons & low fat cheese
2 slices Pepperidge Farm 15 Grain Double Protein Bread w/Olivio

After dinner snack:
Weight Watchers Chocolate Mousse Popsicle


I have to stay, I'm still raving about the Weight Watchers popsicle. It tastes like REAL chocolate fudge, and has a whopping 60 calories. It's definitely one of my favorites. I managed to go for a walk after work today, and do 20 situps and 10 push ups. I didn't catch the walk at work lunch, because things were HOPPING at work, and I pretty much ate at my desk while working through lunch.

I think I need to join a gym so that I can jog on an elliptical, jogging on pavement hurts my ankles.

Tuesday, April 13, 2010

Ok, groceries purchased, eating habits doing better because of having more food.

Weight today 178 lbs. Calories consumed = 1700, calories burned = 180 calories

Breakfast:
Banana
YoPlus Light Yogurt, Honey Vanilla

Mid Morning Snack:
Balance Bar, Mint Chip

Lunch:
Healthy Choice, Creamy Basil Pesto
100 Calories of Pepperidge Farm Crackers

Mid Afternoon Snack:
Orange

Dinner:
Salad: spinach, red leaf lettuce, roasted chicken, tomato, onion, almonds, 1000 island dressing
Cambpell's Tomato Soup
2 slices Pepperidge Farm 15 Grain Double Protein Bread w/Olivio

After dinner snack:
10 Townhouse Crackers


Ok, so although I ate more calories than I do on some of my junk food days, I feel like they are better calories to have consumed overall. Complex carbs and veggies and what have you. ALSO, I finally did get some exercise in today. I went for a 20 minute walk on my lunch break, a 10 minute walk after work, and I hoe-ed up my entire garden patch, which took me 15-20 minutes. According to Spark People, this burned me approx 180 calories, leaving me at 1520 calories for the day. Which is not too shabby. I'm looking forward to getting some exercise in tomorrow as well. And eating diet food again. Yay for commitment, boo for swim suit season getting even closer.

Monday, April 12, 2010

Alright, today did not go so well, because I did not have groceries.

Weight 178 lbs - still, because I am a lazy, lazy lazykins.
Calories 1500 - but a bunch of them were junk calories

Breakfast
Pepperidge Farm Crackers - 140 calories of them.

Lunch
2 Baja Fish Tacos from Taco Bell / Long John Silvers
4 Hush Puppies from Taco Bell / Long John Silvers

Dinner
Top Round Steak - Grilled
Alexia Select Sides - Chipotle Roasted Sweet Potatoes with Black Beans & Corn


Dinner was by far the tastiest meal today. The Alexia sides are amazing, and not all that bad for you either. I really did mean to exercise today, but I got caught late at my first job and it was 7pm before I knew it. So I just got some steaks and headed home. And I had a whopper of a headache, so I just headed to bed early. However, early bedtimes do prevent me from late night snacking, which is good.

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.

Tuesday, April 6, 2010

Alright, today was actually ok. Minus dinner, which was 800 calories, which was the calorie total for EVERYTHING else I ate today. But I was tired when I got home from work, and Marc had already purchased a pepperoni pizza from Price Chopper, so I just ate what was put in front of me, instead of making myself a salad.

Weight 178 lbs. Calories 1600

Breakfast:
Yogurt - YoPlus Honey Vanilla
Strawberries

Midmorning Snack:
Balance Bar, Mocha Chip
Banana

Lunch:
Healthy Choice Grilled White Meat Chicken & Roasted Red Pepper Alfredo Sauce
100 Calories of Pepperidge Farm Crackers

Midafternoon Snack:
Apple

Dinner:
Pepperoni Pizza from Price Chopper


Managed to stay away from the night time snacking, which is good. But this was because, I was pretty much exhausted and went straight to bed. Still haven't managed to swing exercise into the groove, but I blame this on the two jobs, and my complete and utter lack of time to myself.

Wednesday, March 31, 2010

Ok, so today is somewhat better, because I was forced to go get some groceries yesterday, I tried to make a dinner that both Marc and I could eat without making him feel like I was forcing him to diet.

Weight 178 lbs - Calories = 1611 - not too shabby

Breakfast
Yogurt - Dannon Lite and Fit - Strawberry
Apple

Mid Morning Snack
Balance Bar - Mint Cookie Crunch

Lunch
Smart Ones - Pasta Primavera
Orange

Dinner
Reuben
Sweet Potato Fries (baked not fried)

Sooooo my weight's holding steady. Just need to throw some exercise into this mix so that I start losing weight.

Tuesday, March 23, 2010

I think I'm slacking, because I'm putting things off till next week, when my work and sleep schedule will finally be acceptable enough to get in some exercise. And because I plan on heading to NYC this weekend, and when you go out you have to eat whatever the heckfire you feel like.

Breakfast:
Apple
Dannon light and fit - strawberry

Mid morning snack:
Balance Bar - Sweet and Salty Peanut

Lunch:
Smart ones - Salisbury Steak w/mac and cheese
140 calories worth of Ritz crackers

Mid afternoon snack:
Carrots

Dinner:
Light Life Veggie Masala
Banana

After dinner snack:
Left over garlic bread

Minus the after dinner snacking it would have been a good day for the diet. But a crap day for exercise, but what else is new. I have to work each night this week at the job that keeps me on my feet, so that makes me feel slightly better than lying around at home on the couch. I will walk a bunch this weekend in the city, I look forward to that.

Thursday, March 11, 2010

Ok, today was AWESOME. I only managed to consume 1050 calories. And because Marc and I had a tiff, I went straight to bed instead of having any late night snacks! At least fights with your boyfriend are good for something!

Weight today 178 lbs

Breakfast:
Dannon, Light & Fit Nonfat Strawberry Yogurt
Apple

Mid morning snack:
Balance bar - mocha

Lunch:
Carrots
Smart Ones Broccoli and Cheddar Roasted Potatoes,

Mid afternoon snack:

Smart Ones Fettucini Alfredo

No exercise today, because I worked both jobs. But I finally get what my mother says about your body just FEELING better when you are eating healthy. I'm less achy, and sore and more awake quite honestly. No lunch break work out yet, but I WILL get there!
