Day 974: Hello!

The Office is over. One of the best series finales ever. I mean, it was no Seinfeld finale… (said no one ever.)

Happy BT Thursday Yo!

Happy BT Thursday Yo!

Anyway, it has been too flippin’ long. My eating has been up and down like crazy and I have this Dietbet that I sadly mildly care about at this point. I know that sounds bad, but maybe I’m just not cut out for weight losing competitions. I’m way too awesome at self-sabotaging. Need to work on that. Anywho, I ate really well today which just makes you feel better all around. Let’s talk food and stuff!

Breakfast: Waffles with a smidgen of peanut butter 3.5 points.
Lunch: Turkey Tom with avocado instead of mayo 7 points
Snack: Yummy yogurt. 3 points

Screen shot 2013-05-16 at 10.47.32 PMFor dinner, we decided to consult the best website since spacejam.com (yes, this site still exists!) we went to Skinny Taste for some low-cal deliciousness. After arguing for hours on end about what to make (it’s all so delicious!) we decided on Skinny Taste’s amazing chicken cacciatore! We won. It was flippin amazing! So flavorful. So hearty. So low cal. I had two servings which was about 12 points. 

PB2Snack: I FINALLY found PB2 in Tallahassee! I was so excited to try it (if you’ve used it, post your favorite recipe in the comments!) I made a serving and ate it with celery. This is a beginning of a delicious relationship. 1 point for 2 tbsp!

So today I got to 26.5 points which is right where I want to be. Time to keep this going. See ya tomorrow.

Day 965: Thursday Stuff

If you haven’t read Brooke’s amazing blog, check it out as soon as you are done reading my ridiculousness. Last night, Brooke reached her weight loss goal! She has lost almost 180 pounds!!!! Check out her “After” blog (just click on the photo and it will sent you straight there!)

Anyway…Hello!

It feels like I haven’t actually written anything for a while. Well, now I’m back like a boss. Losing weight and taking names (or something like that.) Today was full of deliciousness, better yet, most of it was pretty healthy!

Let’s get started!

Breakfast: WAFFLEWICH!!!!! It’s been too long. No photo because I ate it in one fell delicious swoop!

Lunch: So today was my friends Cindy’s last day at work [insert sad face here] so we all went to Paisley Cafe for lunch! It’s one of those places where all the things are delicious so you change your mind every time you look at the menu. I went with the tomato bisque and the grilled cheese sandwich. Food porn at its finest, ladies and gentlemen!

(This is where I drank a crapton of water.)

WatermelonyumDinner: For those of you who don’t know, I LOVE WATERMELON!!! It’s my favorite fruit…okay…my favorite produce. So when my my friend Tristan the Tristastic made watermelon gazpacho the other night, I was SWOOOOOOOOOOONED. Tonight, Megan and I made our own batch. This deliciousness has watermelon (duh), tomatoes, shallots, cucumber, yellow bell pepper, basil and mint all combined in to one bowl of amazing. We got to use Megan’s new hand emersion blender too!
(I have a bad history with emersion blenders. In 8th grade, I put my finger in the center of the blade and turned it on, slicing right under my finger nail, causing an enormous amount of blood to spew henceforth. I cried and sat outside waiting for my Mom to get back from the store. I was an odd child.)

Anyway, so that’s all I really had today. It was an awesome day. Tomorrow should be just as awesometastic. See ya tomorrow.

Day 958: Thursday And Stuff

Your body feels awesome when you feed it right.

HELLO!

I feel awesome right now! I won’t bore you with the details, but my body feels better even after just eating right and a little bit of exercise. Basically, I’m glad to be back on the weight loss wagon. L

Let’s talk food!

Oh yeah, I live in a beautiful place.

Snack:
Cheerios-2 points
Lunch: Two salmon salad sandwiches (using a can of salmon from Sam’s Club)-13 points
PizzaDinner:

ProofExercise: 
So I’m doing a May challenge with Jenny Hodges of MetamorFit fame (she’s lost more than 200 pounds! You may have seen here on the Yahoo! homepage and other shows) to burn 500 calories of exercise everyday. That’s 15,500 calories!!! If you want to join the challenge, join the event here!!! Anyway, so yesterday I played some serious racquetball and today I did a healthy combination of spinning, lifting, jogging and shuttle runs. I feel awesome and I smell gross. I win.

So that about does it! I got to 32 points so I’m AOK. See ya tomorrow.

 

Day 956: I’m Here…

It was an insane week. But it’s done. Let’s just move on.

As far as everything, you haven’t missed much. I kind of lost control with my eating. Life is finally back to normal (no more class, no more papers, no more school stuff).

I’m exhausted (my life has been straight up Crazytown since last Thursday and I’m still feeling it) but I’ll be back to regular blogging from here on in.

Now to the weigh in. I did eat a lot of sodium (hence the “I hate sodium” status on my FFK FB Page) so I was up .8 this week but I have a good feeling things are going to get back to where they were. I was crazy to get a glimpse of what can happen when I just stick to my eating plan. The weight really did just peel off. I’m ready to get back to that.

Alright, let’s talk food and points and stuff.

Breakfast: Egg and toast 4 points
Snack: 
Cheerios 2 points
Lunch: 
Salmon salad sandwichs 13 points
Snack: A delicious combination of Cheerios and Honey Bunches of Oats 5 points
Dinner: 
Chilitastic deliciousness 9 points
Total: 33 points 

Not a bad day! I worked out for an hour today too so I’m in good shape. It was Leg Day and out of all of the bros at the gym, the only guys using the leg machines were me and one other guy. We both went for the squat machine at the same time. I let him go first and he said “it’s Leg Day!” and I said “I guess no one else got that memo…” Oh gym humor…see ya tomorrow.
