Day 47

We had a bunch of soccer and baseball stuff going on today, and it was freezing out, not fun! I tried to eat correctly today, but we werent always at home. Thank god for stuff like cheese sticks. It was so cold twice today I ended up with a large coffee with cream from mcdonalds. Maybe all that caffiene will help me burn off a few calories :)

Good news and bad news. Good news is Ive lost a bunch of weight, bad news is that Im swiming in all my work clothes. I need to do some shopping.

Snack: Cheese stick
Dinner: Rueben sandwich and few fries
Snack: air popped popcorn

Day 46

This week has gone pretty well, and I expect that on sunday when I weigh in Ill be somewhere around 115-116lb range. About 5 pounds from goal. Im looking forward to cooking and eating on my own. I have alot of ideas for foods and recipies. I have been running quite a bit and trying to do as many pushups as I can, and I can really start to notice it in my upper body. I cheated at dinner, but made decent choices so it wasnt so bad.

Breakfast: PB Granola bar, greek yogurt, banana
Snack: Cottage Cheese, Apple
Lunch: Bean and Ham soup, Salad, Bread
Snack: Nacho Chips
Dinner: Subway Flatbread roasted chicken veggies and mustard
Snack: None

Day 45

I had a bad day food wise. I was on plan all day except lunch. There was a pizza party planned to celebrate a few peoples big promotions. I had planned on having a small amount and a salad and call it good. For some reason I was extra hungry in the morning, and when the pizza showed up a chowed down. The pizza was cut in squares, about 3 or 4 inches on each side, and I at 5 plus a salad. I fell full afterwards, but really angry that I couldnt control myself. It was also my day off of running so that made me feel worse about it.

Well only one thing to do, get back on plan. Which is what I am doing today, and I will run again for the next three days. I needed the day off, and probably the carbs in the pizza, so maybe it wasnt such a bad thing.


Breakfast: NS PB granola bar, Strawberry greek yogurt, banana
Snack: HB Eggs, Apple
Lunch: Pizza, Salad
Snack: BBQ Soy Chips
Dinner: Chicken pattie with bun, Salad
Snack: PB Cookie

Day 44

I was on plan today, until dinner. On wednesdays we usually go over to the inlaws for dinner. My mother in law had made goulash, which is one of my favorites, so I had a couple of serving of that. I have been running alot and my legs feel a little tired, so I think I needed the carbs anyways.

This week I upped the running from 2 miles at a time to 3 miles at a time. I ran the last 4 days in a row, but I am going to take tommorow off to let my legs heal up.

I burn about 450 calories when I run the 3 miles, so I have been adding a protien shake the last few days after my run, to help make up some of those calories.

Breakfast: NS Oatmeal, Peach greek yogurt, banana
Snack: Cottage Cheese, Apple, Protien shake
Lunch: Split pea soup, Salad, Bread
Snack: Cheese Puffs, grapes
Dinner: Goulash, Salad, Mixed Fruit, Green beans
Snack: None

Day 43

Was on plan today except for water. I have done really poorly on the water for the last week, and my weight hasnt changed, Im sure that isnt a coincidence. Im back to work starting tommorrow so hopefully that will help me get back on track. Working at home I have been able to run for the last 4 days.

Breakfast: NS Flakes and berries, Strawberry greek yogurt, banana
Snack: Cottage Cheese, Apple
Lunch: bean and ham, Salad, Bread
Snack: Nacho Chips, grapes
Dinner: Meatloaf and mashes potatoes, Salad, bread and almond butter, apple
Snack: PB Cookie

Day 42

For the next couple of days I am working from home which is great, but I find it hard to be so close to the food all the time. Im really tempted to cheat throughout the day. Ive tried to stay away from the snacks, but since Im running almost every day now I allow myself a few grapes or some veggies every now and then.

Breakfast: NS Cereal, banana, greek yogurt
Snack: apple, cottage cheese
Lunch: NS Bean and rice, salad, bread, almond butter
Snack: Nacho Chips
Dinner: Pizza, Salad, Bread and butter, broccoli, apple sauce
Snack: Choc caramel nougat bar

Day 41

Im running a little behind on my posts, so I am going to try to catch back up today.

Today was weigh in day.

Total weight loss so far is 28.4. I am 118, so only 2 lbs this week, but I have been tinkering a little with how I will do maintainence, plus later in the week and this weekend my water intake was pretty low.

We had a soccer game today for my daughter and everyone was hungry afterward so we went off to applebees. I had another one of the under 550 calories meals, once again it was good. I used that as my dinner and then had a NS lunch at dinner.

Breakfast: Oatmeal, Yogurt, Banana
Snack: Apple, Cottage Cheese
Lunch: Applebees
Snack: Nacho Chips.
Dinner: NS Tortalinni, Salad, bread.
Snack: Choc chip cookie
