  day 16 i'm kinda defying the diet as of late. it seems that just because a lost a whole whopping 10 pounds, i think i can eat like i want. NO! NO! NO! i CAN'T eat anything i want, yet that's exactly what i'm doing.

it has to stop! for today, i'll just mark what i had and move along.

breakfast:
- half an iced lemon pound cake from starbuck's (250 cal)
- 16 oz sugar free vanilla non fat latte (160 cal)
in my defense, the starbucks was a gift so i couldn't really turn it down. i didn't know it was coming.

total breakfast calories = 410

no snack

lunch:
- 1 original recipe drumstick from KFC (140 cal)
- 1 original recipe thigh from KFC (350 cal)
- 1 biscuit (220 cal) WOW! FOR 1 BISCUIT?!?!?!

which brings lunch to a grand total of 710 calories! WOO-HOO!!

dinner:
i'm thinking i'm gonna go for some sushi. i haven't decided yet. might as well. i'm at 1120 calories so far. what's a pound of rice gonna hurt?

  day ??? i forget what day i'm on. i did not, however, forget to eat this weekend. i won't say i overate, but i sure as hell ate more than i probably should have.

today, i craved chocolate cake. i don't know why. i'm not even PMS-ing or anything. hopefully, i'll fare better tomorrow and get back on track.

i said i wouldn't weigh for a month. i cheated. i weighed. and it looks like i lost about 10lbs. probably put about five of those back on, this weekend. we'll see. i'll weigh again on day 30. wish me luck.

  day 8 breakfast:
- 1 choc muffin (120 cal... half a muffin just isn't cutting it anymore)

lunch:
- angel hair pasta w/2 shrimp and 1 scallop (i practically ate a whole bowl)

i ate lunch early today. i was super hungry at 11:00. i'm feeling pretty gassy and i want to burp. i want to burp loud and long just to get it all out! i drank a diet coke (0 cal) hoping that would do the trick, but it didn't. HM suggested going to have a beer after work. i just might do that.

dinner (i totally cheated):
- half a chipotle burrito, filled to the gills

  day 5 dinner:
- shrimp fettucinne in a garlic butter sauce (375-400 calories*)

breakfast:
- half chocolate muffin (60 cal)

lunch:
- chicken enchilada childs plate with rice and beans (i ate a little more than half of it)
- half a tortilla

i'm stuffed since lunch. and tired, too. doh! just remembered i didn't take my vitamin b. duh! although, i have to say, the vitamin b12 really isn't doing a whole lot for my energy like i thot it would. maybe it needs to get circulating???


* i say 375-400 because the whole meal itself, was 2 servings at 500 calories per serving. i put half of that in a bowl to eat. i ate more than half of the bowl.

  day 4 went to a party last nite. did not ruin the diet. at least, i don't think i did.

snack:
- snack size cheez-it's (100 cal)

dinner:
- dessert size plate; half w/greek salad, the other half with some beef strip/rice/almond thing
- one bite of whatever that birthday cake was made up of
- 1 vodka/soda, 1 white wine

the white wine may have hurt, but it was just ONE. i really should have just had water, but it was a party and everyone was doing it. ;)

breakfast:
- half chocolate muffin (60 cals)

lunch:
- other half of chicken breast w/barely any spanish rice (less than 1/4 c.)

for a snack, i'll probably have the other half of the muffin around 3-ish. i was pretty hungry when i left work yesterday. i don't want that to happen again and pig out at dinner and make myself sick.

  day 3 i haven't felt hungry, but i still haven't started walking again. i know... i'm a slacker. i also need to not wait until i'm hungry to start making dinner. i'm stupid that way. i'm not hungry so i don't prepare anything. then, i'm completely starving and can't wait 'til it's done. ugh.

last nite for dinner:
- 1/2 chicken breast with 1/2 c. spanish rice

today for breakfast:
- 1/2 chocolate muffin (60 calories)
- coffee w/sugar free creamer

lunch:
- 1/2 chicken breast with 1/2 c. spanish rice

no snacking. LOTS of water.

tonite, i'm going to a birthday party. it's catered at a supposedly really good restaurant, so i'm sure i'll have plenty of choices and not overdo it with anything in particular.

  ALL TIME HIGH! i went to the doctor last week. i weigh 225 lbs. sick, huh? the nurse said that she couldn't believe i weighed that much because i "don't have any rolls" in my stomach. i'm thinking, it must be hiding in all the back fat. i've gained 20-25 lbs in the last 6 months. it's time to do something about it. for now, i'm watching what i eat, cutting back portions, and trying to walk 2 miles a day. i know that doesn't sound like a lot... 2 miles, but it's a start. and that's all i need for now. i'm also going to start riding my bike more. not that it ever did much for me in the "excercise" sense, but i did enjoy doing it.

i will not weigh myself for another month. i hate weighing. i would rather just feel it in my clothes. i am taking the advice of Addie, tho, and i will track everything i'm eating. i'm going to track it, here. i will attempt to post, daily, what is going into my mouth, how many calories, etc. we'll see how it goes.

my current goal is just to get back into a size 14. i would be happy with that. for now. my overall goal is to be a happy size 9/10. we'll see how that goes. to get into a 14, i think i have to lose about 60 lbs. oh god! tough start, huh? this is gonna suck. but i have to do it. i have to do it for my health. and for myself. i'm not happy with myself right now; the way i look or feel. and i want to have kids. one day. i don't want to be "the fat mom". i want to be able to run around with my kids and do fun things with them. irk! back up, cuz that is SO far in the future.

well, wish me luck! not that anyone is reading this, but still.
