I wish the title of this post referred to a week full of events related to the hit ABC series LOST (Only 3 months ’til it returns!!) but sadly it refers to the past seven days of my weight loss. Over the last week I had gained 2 pounds and then lost 1.5. I’m back down to 190 as of this morning.
I’m feeling a little better though. I’m ready to forget about my poor exercise and less than perfect diet this past week and concentrate on making my way through the 180′s. I need to start working out a little harder and more consistently now and drink more water. I’m going to fill up my water bottle right now.
Hang on a sec…
Okay I’m back.
Here’s what I ate yesterday.
I started early, like 3:30 AM. I had woken up and couldn’t go back to sleep and I was starving so I had
- 6 grapes
- 1/2 a Weight Watchers String Cheese
- 3 Sunsweet Prunes
Breakfast was Chocolate Honey Bunches of Oats with 1% milk and a kiwi (skin on, of course):
I finally made it back to the school’s gym and had some treadmill time. Again I started running and ended up walking, but I did better than I have been. I think I ran for close to 20 minutes. I ended up doing 3 miles in 43 minutes.
Lunch was in prepared quickly and ended up being salad and yogurt:
This was salad greens with some dried cranberries and cherries, almonds, pistachios and some of Ken’s Lite Accents Raspberry Walnut Vinaigrette Spray (only 1 cal. per spray!).
And some plain Oikos with Kashi GoLEAN Crunch and honey.
My afternoon snack was a Fage Total with Honey. These were a manager’s special on sale for 72 cents! Of course the sell by date was two days ago but I had to get at least one for that price! I knew I couldn’t let it sit in the fridge much longer either so I ate it became yesterday’s snack.
I got just a little bit creative for dinner. I had a big salad with grilled chicken, grilled peach slices, grapes and almonds and some more vinaigrette. It really could have used some walnuts and feta cheese.
Then I was still ravenous the rest of the evening. After dinner I had 3 more prunes. Then I had some Low Sodium Ezekiel toast with light ricotta and honey while watching SYTYCD.
Then I had 3 Dove Dark Chocolate Promises while watching Glee. Then I was still hungry and I can’t go to bed on an empty stomach so I had another kiwi.
I’m pretty sure I went a little bit over my calorie range yesterday, but that’s okay. I usually don’t feel bad about it if I’ve chosen good foods and I only ate when I was hungry, which I did.
Not a bad day for the most part.
