Okay, I was just sitting thinking why in the hell has my scale has not moved into the 160′s this week. I ate healthy, and exercised religiously then I thought what did I eat on  Sunday:? You all are going to kill me. Start sending the cyber butt kicking my way please.

  1. Meal 1: Protein shake (200 cals)
  2. Meal 2: Mediterranean chicken salad from La madeleine. {this salad consists of a bed of lettuce, cucumbers, olives, artichokes, feta cheese and grilled chicken along with a vinaigrette dressing. I ate the whole thing thinking it was low in calories, WRONG!! The entire salad is 710 calories. Stupid! Mental note only eat half
  3. Meal 3: So bad .  . A Chuychanga from Chuy’s. Cals lets say 1200 w/ the beans and rice. Yikes!!
  4. Meal 4: ice cream 250 cals totaling: 2360 cals and what I should be eating min 1300-1500 cals for weight loss and for maintenance for me should be 1600-1700 cals per day.

Lets just say I messed up and I will need to watch Portions again in order to enjoy these item from time to time. I am not saying that you can never have these items, but next time  since I found out the calories count will definitely eat only half the salad and half of the meal so that my calories will not mess up a good days workout and a week of hard work in weight loss.

Where is the scale at as of today. I don’t want to even say it but I will be honest, 173. Grr!! So here we go again to get it down and then some by June 30th. I can do it!!

Today my plan is:

Meals:

  1. Meal 1: poached eggs, turkey sausage, and half banana
  2. Meal 2: Protein shake after my tae bo amped workout
  3. Meal 3: String cheese and 1 serving of grapes
  4. Meal 4: Grilled chicken, salad and green beans
  5. Meal 5: Kashi lean bar with fruit

Well, I am off to play with my little one and try to take a nap when he does. I was up late until 3:00am. I found out my dad (lives in Wisconsin) was rushed to the hospital late last night. He could not breath, not to mention he has congestive heart failure and diabetes too. Later I come to find out that he may have had  an allergic reaction to a medication that was prescribed to him very recently from what the nurse explained to me. It a mess. He also has a clogged artery in his left leg the he will need to go into surgery for too. So please say a prayer for him please. I was so sad and almost went on a emotional food binge, but I stopped myself. Sorry to babble. Just needed to vent a bit. Chat later
