Week 2: Rough start
Ok so i havnt had much time to write in the past few days b/c ive been incredibly busy and tired as hell.
Week one ended on the 7th. It was a long week one. One of the longest i have had in forever. But im proud to say that the following has happened:
I have not ate any fast food
I have consumed more water in the first week then i was drinking
I have cut cokes down to one per day and im almost down to 3 per week
I have gotten more exercise in not much but some
Week 2 started on the 8th which was yesterday. Ive been PMSing like crazy and so ive ate a bit more then i should but i have hopefully ( at least i think) stayed within my 1500 calorie limit for the days. Today is the 9th.
Yesterday i made homemade hamburger soup. It was awesome. I got the recipe from my faithful girls on the budget homemaking site that i use. Its a yahoo group ( which by the way , thank you yahoo for finally doing something RIGHT) The only bad thing was that it wasnt low in calories or fat b/c of the meat but it was meat and not bread so that made me feel better. I did make cornbread too. But its actuallynot high in calories or fat as i dont use a lot of things ( oil) in it.
Today i made Chicken Marsala. Total breakdown of food:
Chicken- i had one small breast so thats 100 calories
Mushrooms, heavy cream, spices- around 100 calories for the servings i had maybe 150 for the cream but really not that much
Mashed potatoes- i had the equivalent of one large potatoe with butter ( not much) so im going to say around 200 calories total.
Lunch i had my leftovers so ill say 300 calories for the meat
No breakfast
Drank water and juice today so around 150 calories for that
Chocolate mousse for dessert- i only had about 2 oz if that so 150 calories ( the only thing bad in it was the cream)
Cookies- 1 (200 calories)
so around 1300 calories for the day i think? That leaves 200 left over if i underestimated ( which i dont think i have done) And im no where near hungry at all for the rest of the night.
Ive been getting in some exercise b/c ive been cleaning out the house for an upcoming yardsale at the end of the month. So this week im going to start with the walking. The gym revised their hours ( again) so im trying to revise my workout schedule. I want to start getting in there as much as i can during the week and just do things around here on the weekend. Like a monday to friday kinda workout. I want to get at least 2 times in a day. However with gas the way it is this is not going to be easy. I thought about just going early in the morning for 3 hours and then walking around the neighborhood late at night.
Can you tell im indecisive about things? I try not to be.
Anyways week 2 is off to its start. By the end of the week i want to have at least burned off enough calories to lose 2 lbs. Wish me luck!

I commend you for being able to keep track of calories. This is something I’d never be able to do because I love to cook and I love to eat. |
