1590 for the day. Now to scramble and get the house clean since I've been gone all day for the past two days before my mom gets here tonight.

I made it up at 6:00 this morning. Today was strength training day. Boy was I tired! Got to bed too late last night. I had to cut out the last set of my upper body exercises. I pulled something in my shoulder blade area. It hurts if I move wrong.

Chloe made me an unauthorized smoothie as a surprise for me. I drank some, not all, but it was probably enough to top me off for the day.

Weigh-in #39

I weighed in reluctantly this morning. Surprisingly I'm down 2 lbs. Let's see if I can remain disciplined enough to keep it off this time.


My workout was minimal this morning. I'm working on getting up at 6 am, which I did, but it took me a long time to make it down to the treadmill. Possibly because I kept dozing through my prayers. I had to cut my run short due to time constraints. So, including my warm up and cool down I was on for 30 minutes, 2 miles, and 300 calories. Not quite the prescribed 3.5 miles, but probably okay since my ankle is giving me trouble again.


breakfast (308):
breakfast burrito (243)
1/2 c. milk (65)


lunch:
Went out with hubby to Rumbi Island Grill. Had grilled chicken and shrimp over brown rice with tropical salsa, and a side Caesar salad. I can't find the nutrition info on it. It must have been a new or special menu item. I'd guess it to be 800+ calories going off of other things on their menu. Delicious. I could have not eaten the rice and saved myself probably 200 calories.


snack (137):
cheese stick (80)
nectarine (57)


dinner:
I probably could have salvaged the day after lunch's splurge. I ruined it with this meal. It was a crazy evening of 7 children running around, two of them crying babies. I gave in and ordered pizza. I ate three pieces and had two glasses of root beer. I'm going to guess 1000 calories. It got worse when my dad stopped by with cookie dough. I ate 6 cookies, I think, which is another 540 calories, IF my count is accurate.

So, to "celebrate" my two pound weight loss I ate like a pig, and the feeling of my pants finally fitting right that I had this morning has been exchanged for a folded over, uncomfortable waistband due to a bulging gut. Way to go me. It's like I forget about it during the day. Although, that's not really true. Because I think about it while I'm eating too much. I just seem to not care momentarily. I've got to get over that.

On another note, I went to the doctor today to discuss meds and blood work. My thyroid is off, I'm vitamin D, vitamin B, and iron deficient. My progesterone levels are low, and my testosterone levels are off. I'm a mess. And a pig. A big, out of control, pig.

breakfast (225):
Kashi with milk


1 hour of Zumba


snack (137):
string cheese (80)
nectarine that tasted like grass, disappointing (57)


lunch (385):
polish sausage (190)
bun (100)
apple (95)

chocolate, banana, raspberry protein shake

dinner:
biscuit topped chicken pot-pie (2 helpings, I don't know the calorie count)

FHE treat (166):
2 peanut butter blossoms at 83 calories each

1153 known calories. I'm betting I'm over quite a bit.

Someday I'm going to sleep through the night. Someday when preschoolers quit wetting the bed, and babies quit being sick, and preteens quit being in plays that I have to pick them up from late in the evening, I'll go to bed earlier and sleep the whole night without interruption.


No Zumba this morning. Baby is sick and ineligable for daycare. I'm sad to miss Zumba again this week, and sad for a sick baby. I'll have to get strenght training in sometime today.

1 slice french bread
krispy kreme

date night treat (Is it really a treat if it pads your hips and clogs your arteries?):
Peanut Butter Cup Perfection from Coldstone

Oh night, thou art mine enemy...

Didn't make it up this morning. I'm starting to think its not in the cards for me to get to bed early. Chloe was up later than expected at her play, baby threw up again. Cadi wet the bed, baby woke up every two hours all night long... tired.


breakfast (318):
breakfast burrito (243)
4 oz. grape juice (75)

snack (245):

protein shake

lunch (373):

2 c. romaine (16)

carrot (25)

broiled chicken breast (230)

green onion (1)

green pepper (2)

celery (4)

almonds (20)

dressing (75)

I really need to plan my afternoons and evenings better. I didn't do well. We made snickerdoodles for scouts, and I ate a bunch. Dinner was a leftover rush to get people fed between crying baby and getting Chloe out the door for her performance. I ate half a ham sandwich, a couple more cookies, and a handful of candy. So healthy and calorie conscious... Not helping matters is that fact that I realized I'd forgotten my meds for a couple days. Stupid pills. Stupid that I need pills. I guess I should be thankful for them. They have their pluses and minuses.

I did manage to get my running in. 3.5 miles on the treadmill while watching Men's Olympic Figure Skating, free skate. Including my warm up and cool down it was 4.25 miles and over 600 calories. I'm running faster, longer. That's good. Now if I can just get the eating, and sleeping under control so all this exercise will do something other than my heart some good.
