Still writing. That's a plus. Still fat. That's a minus. Still working too much and not getting out of my cycle. Another minus. Looks like we end up in the negative. Bah!

Breakfast:
Coffee
Banana

Lunch:
Tuna fish sandwich
Cashews
Dried Pineapple

Dinner:
Grilled Strip Steak
Corn


Minus the fact that I ate WAY too many cashews and dried fruit today, if I had stuck to healthy portions, today would have been a good day. But my body can put away a surprising amount of food, and my head does not always stop it from doing so.

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.

Monday, August 23, 2010

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

Monday, August 16, 2010

Alright, I really do have to get back with the program here. Because I tried to put on one of my old "fat skirts" this morning, and even it wouldn't fit. Bah!

Breakfast:
Oatmeal
Coffee w/Splenda

Lunch:
Salad w/Chicken & Apples

Dinner:
Tortellini & Garlic Bread w/Olivio

No exercise currently, which I have to switch up, but I've been working extra hours, because things have been hectic at work, so it is hard to fit in.

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.

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.

Thursday, April 1, 2010

Alright, had both jobs today and gave into a chocolate craving at the Depot. Did not get to exercise, but was on my feet for most of the night at the Depot.

Weight 178 lbs - Calories = 1650 - not too shabby

Breakfast
Yogurt - Dannon Lite and Fit - Strawberry
Balance Bar - Mint Cookie Crunch

Lunch
Healthy Choice - Butternut Squash and Pumpkin Ravioli
Carrots
100 calories of Pepperidge Farm Crackers

Dinner
Light Life Veggie Masala Meal
Orange
More Crackers
Twix Bar

After Dinner Snack
2 slices Pepperidge Farm Double Protein Whole Grain bread w/Olivio & Garlic

Sooooo my weight's still holding steady. Still need to exercise. Maybe now that the weather's getting nicer I will give it a go. Also, that Healthy Choice Ravioli soooooo much tastier than all the varieties that Smart Ones offers, I may start getting more of those. They are a little more expensive though, and I usually do not have coupons for them. Sadness :-(

Tuesday, March 30, 2010

Ok, so today is somewhat better, because I was forced to go get some groceries, because I have both jobs today.

Weight 178 lbs - Calories = 1505 (not bad!)

Breakfast
Apple

Lunch
Sushi
Ritz Crackers - 140 calories

Mid Afternoon Snack
Balance Bar

Dinner
Light Life Veggie Masala
Orange

After dinner snack
2 pieces Pepperidge Farm Whole Grain Double Protein Bread w/Olivio & Garlic


Much better day than yesterday, still no weight loss, probably because of the fact that there is still no exercise. Apparently dieting for me can only maintain my weight ... so while I'm not getting fatter, I'm not getting skinnier either. Sadness.

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.

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.

Tuesday, March 9, 2010

Back on the boat. I must say, I also find Spark People quite useful in tracking what I eat. Plus it gives me a calorie total for the end of the day, and lets me know whether I am on track to make my goals or not. And it reminds me to drink enough water, etc. However, it divvies meals into b-fast, lunch, dinner, and snack... and I am trying to eat constantly throughout the day in small meals. But I do love the calorie counter. Today, I only consumed 1437 calories! Weight loss, here we come!

Weight Today 178 lbs - SLIGHTLY BETTER! WOOT!

Breakfast
Banana
Dannon, Light & Fit Nonfat Strawberry Yogurt

Mid morning Snack
Balance Bar - Caramel Nut Blast

Lunch
Smart Ones Broccoli and Cheddar Roasted Potatoes
100 Calorie Packs, Cheese Nips Thin Crisps

Mid Afternoon Snack
Carrot Sticks

Dinner
Orange
Smart Ones Three Cheese Ziti Marinara

After Dinner Snack
Pepperidge Farm Whole Grain Bread - 2 slices with Olivio, toasted

All in all, not a bad day, it could have used more variety, a multi-vitamin and some exercise, but I had to work both jobs, so those things did not happen. Sadness. But I think with Spark People and the Wii Fit... I really should be able to get on track and be in swimsuit shape by swimsuit season!
