Ahoy!

Breakfast: overnight oats and 1/2 a banana

Lunch: pbj, string cheese, pear, and chobani plain yogurt with a truvia packet

Dinner: Went to Macaroni Grill (planned it out ahead of time) did the create your own pasta with cavatelli, pomodoro sauce (tomato basil, essentially) and double fresh spinach (according to the website, it was 590 calories) I SKIPPED THE BREAD AND OIL. IM SO PROUD.

No workout, because it was a late workout. I’m pretty glad I didn’t, because I was STILL sore from squats on Monday. I feel better today. 

Have a healthy day, everyone!

Helloooooo!

Today, after a nice weekend, I continued into being healthy while also being a REAL MOTHERFUCKING ADULT with an occupation and shiiiit. (ew, gross)

Breakfast:

Overnight oats with 1/2 a banana in it.

Lunch:

pbj on 1 piece of bread, string cheese, apple, carrots

Snack:

10 mike and ikes that stared at me in my office, pre-diet change (i bought 3 boxes for 3 dollars…im disgusting)

Dinner:

4 oz salmon with evoo/lemon juice/garlic on it, mediterannean bagged veggies, and a sweet potato

Dessert: 

Frozen Greek Yogurt—Peach. omnomnom

Exercise:

I worked til 6 today, so I did that blogilates squat challenge and that was all. I don’t intend to work out Mondays or Wednesdays because of my schedule…although you could probably count crawling on the floor with kids under 4 as a work out of some kind.

I hope you guys had a great day as well! I’m gonna go pack our lunches. :)

Have been awesome!! Tuesday was totally preparation… e.g. grocery shopping, packing for the next day, and making yummy stuffed red peppers for dinner while watching the election. Good stuff.

The last two days have been really good! Logging again has gone really well. The preparation before the actual day is so critical for me. So far, so good! I’m happy I’m getting back into the groove!

Intake today:

Overnight oats with 1/2 a banana

pbj, string cheese, pear, baby carrots

salmon with evoo, lemon juice, and garlic, mixed vegetables, brown rice.

2 srv peach greek frozen yogurt 

Exercise: 

Not hitting the exercise hard yet, but Aaron and I did take Rosie for a walk for about 30 minutes, and I did a glute exercise from pinterest while watching Beetlejuice. :)

CW: 159.5 (-3.5, but I think that was mostly bloat)

Have a good night, guys!

HI!

so, clearly a big day yesterday. I got a job, and reminded myself of how far I’ve come since March 10th. 27 pounds in 24 weeks! That kept with my goal of 1 lb a week, and even with some days/weeks that i wasn’t at the top of my game, I’ve still managed to reach my goals. I am SO proud of myself. With that said, I have about 10-15 more. I use that range because I think around 135 I’m going to focus more on muscle gain…but we’ll see how I look and feel then.

Intake:

breakfast: i tried the new dannon greek yogurt, and I really liked it! Not quite as much protein as Chobani, but it was yummy and had 80 calories. I’d recommend it to a friend. I had that with some vanilla almond granola. 

snack: apple

lunch: the country club I’m working at (though tomorrow is my last day since i got a big kid job!!) gives us free lunch at the club dining room. which is awesome. I had a pecan salad with grilled chicken and balsalmic dressing. They do go a little over board on the pecans but it’s SO yummy.

dinner: celebratory hot dog with some fries at a momnpop hot dog stand.

after dinner: 3 michelob ultras when i went out to celebrate! :)

exercise: 20 minutes of walking

Also, I measured myself yesterday and I lost an inch on my thighs and an inch on my butt! hooray!

ok thats all. :)

Intake:

breakfast: yogurt and granola

snack: apple

late lunch: pecan/strawberry salad with grilled chicken and balsalmic dressing

snack: cranberry walnut mix

hiimstillhungrywhatthefuck: 4 fucking fudgecicles (160 cals, but thats not the point. thanks shark week…i cant stop eating.)

dinner: 2 oz flank steak with A1, potatos with onion, zucchini (all baked by my dad…who is heavy handed with the oil even when i ask him to measure.)

dessert with friends: small twist cone.

walked 20 minutes (appx)

over: 156

not bad considering.

we’ve already planned on pizza tomorrow night. im going to go easy on breakfast and lunch to plan it out. and saturday will be a booze fest. 

whats life if you can’t live it, right?

also, if anyone cares, i am writing a “blog” i guess about my wedding planning process. idk if anyone will ever read it, but i’m starting planning RIGHT NOW and i think it will be good to reflect on how crazy i get throughout.

snack: 1/3 cup cashews.

Ok. exercise….where art thou? answer: i am in limbo. my options:

• go to the rec center across the street. get a freaking membership. 
• ———-but oh wait, what if i get a job and move, and then i wasted that money.
• ok, just pay $6 a go.
• ———-that’s a waste….get a membership (see above for that. it keeps going in circles.)

So my interim job until i get my big kid job (any day, pleeeeeaseeeeee), has a gym. I just filled out the paperwork to be given free admission. hopefully that goes through soon so i can be utilizing that ASAP. luckily, my eating has been on point but i really do miss working out. i want to work on my muscleeee. 

when i was in cape cod a palm reader told me something big would happen august 15th. OBVIOUSLY I WANT MY MONEY BACK.

oh, and wedding planning is stressful with such a limited budget. im just trying to find a LOCATION that won’t break the bank. 

i think that brings you all back up to speed. i promise to try and be more diligent!

both of my parents said i looked really good! how exciting. i told my mom how much more i wanted to lose and she was like “um…where the heck would you lose it from?! thats still so much!” 

even better than that, for me, was that my mom let me come up with the grocery list for the fam because i’ll be doing the cooking (to help them out and so i wont go insane when they try to feed me pasta every day.) so having that reinforcement of “we want to eat like you do, we dont care what it is, we know it’s good for us, just make whatever you want.” is gonna be pretty awesome! it’s the same as it was at my apartment…but making it for 3-5 people. (depending on who’s home.)

I MET THE PUPPYYYYY. AND SHES PERF. shes still in crate training so i have to sleep downstairs to hear when she cries to go out in the middle of the night. i don’t mind, my parents need a break from it so they can get some good sleep.

so i guess since ill be waking up a few times tonight, i should hit the hay as well.
