I AM ALREADY HATING THIS.
I miss ice cream...and bread.
Something happened to my Day 2 Entry so I am entering it again... I found a draft in it's place.... I think maybe the mobile window that was open from a draft I started earlier in the day was auto saved over it when I opened it. So it is most likely my fault :(
So here is what I recall:
BREAKFAST - 340 Calories
I decided to go back to McD for their yummy low calorie breakfast bowl and opted for a tall iced coffee sweetened with extra soy milk as it is only 90 calories! This meal holds me over til about 11:30am. That's when I get hungry, and by 1pm I feel that I could eat a small child if they came too close. So... I ate this at 12:30pm to be safe:
LUNCH - 332 Calories
I left my stupid soup in the fridge at work when I left to go home on my lunch break. Luckily I live five minutes away which makes lunch breaks at home possible. I checked my fridge for calorie friendly foods and figured kale salad with half an avocado, one slice of smoked salmon and very little balsamic vinaigrette would taste decent. It really was delicious and was a measly 234 calories. I didn't think it would completely hold me over til dinner, so I made a carefully measured smoothie. I used 1 cup of frozen whole strawberries, 1 cup frozen blueberries, 1/4 cup kale and one cup of Brasilia Blueberry Water. This was a 98 calorie smoothie. Pretty darn good too.
DINNER - 468 Calories
I had a meeting that lasted until 7:30pm and let me tell you, it took all my willpower not to be drawn into the tractor beam that is fast food restaurants along the way. I knew I was going to have to look for and cook a meal and I was already pretty damn hungry. So when I got home I made what I saw first in the fridge. 16oz. Salmon, 8 stalks broccolette and 7 baby bella mushrooms.
Now here comes the hard part...admittance...and what is infinitely worse is that I have to admit it AGAIN thanks to the deleted entry snafu. So... I got a sweet tooth after dinner and ravenously ate a banana with Nutella. I will not even tell you how much Nutella. Ok, it was like 2 tablespoons. Maybe more. DON'T LOOK AT ME!! I am so ashamed...in fact I was so upset with myself because I knew I had ZERO intention of putting that in the MyFitnessPal Diary that I threw the remaining jar of Nutella in the trash. It has NO PLACE IN MY HOME UNTIL NEXT YEAR. Anyways, I received encouraging messages from my handful of readers that told me they were proud that I told on myself and prouder that I threw it away so... that helped. haha... (Thank you!)
I did have a logged snack of Rold Gold Pretzel Thins that were 120 calories which brought my total calorie count for the day to 1450. SHHHhhhhhhhhh... It was 1450..
I had mentioned as well that my brother mentioned that I should try the keto diet he has been on as he has had a lot of success with it, so I downloaded a pdf of a book some chick wrote to check out the recipes. If anything, it will give me a little more creativity in the kitchen. He, like me, does not have the time to work out and I will say it again, if anyone comments on this saying that I do have the time because they do I will punch said person right in the nose. RIGHT in the nose... when I see them.
On that note, I will leave you with an important update from Tony the Tiger:
The struggle is real. I commend your honesty, and strength to just throw out the Nutella. Tonight I wanted some homemade banana bread and thought about sneaking in a piece, but I had already completed my log. So instead I went and brushed my teeth and rinsed with some crazy strong mouth rinse in order to prevent myself from eating lol. As for workouts, well, im not a fan of leaving my home to workout so instead I throw myself on the floor and watch yoga videos on YouTube, and every now and then I do them. Yoga with Adrien, you may want to check her out ;-) Also, I don't think you need any fancy meal plans, you're doing a great job, the most important part is consistency and doing what is easy for you. Seems like you're on your path :D
ReplyDeleteThanks Brenda! I will definitely check out the youtube channel you mentioned! :) And brushing teeth is a good idea... I'll try that tonight.
