Last night was so-so. I walked around the mall (not really exercise, but…). When I got home I had 7 triscuts (110 calories). Then I had a lean cuisine (300 calories, 7g fat). But I was still hungry. I had taken a metabolife at 2:00 pm. But I was starving! So I was talking on the phone to Mark (my ex-roommate) and while on the phone I ate a lean pocket meal (8g fat, 280 calories). I was fine until I ate that.

Woke up last night and had a glass of fat free milk (100 calories). So, calorie total for the day was still under 1200 calories. Not bad, but being under 1000 would be better. It was those damn lean pockets that pushed me over. They are the breakfast kind. Now they’re gone, so hopefully it will be ok.

I really wanted beer last night. So I took 2 bendaryl and went to bed by 8pm.

Snack: 1 kudos bar (100 cal, 4 g fat).

Lunch: slimfast 220 cal, 3g fat.

Total so far today: 460 cal, about 15-16g fat.

Walked for 30 min today at lunch. Was too hot; now I’m sitting at work sweaty in a dress. Definitely not going to work. Must find a way to do that and not stink after.

The post I made yesterday is entirely gone. Crap.

ANYway, yesterday I had a glass of orange juice for breakfast (80 calories), a thing of yogurt for a snack (70 calories), a thing of soup for lunch (130 calories), tried to eat vegetables for an afternoon snack but they tasted like chemicals (I did choke down about 4 mini carrots). AFTER WORK I WALKED FOR 30 MINUTES! YAYAYAY! It was 99 degrees, but I walked with a pretty fast pace, up some inclines, and I THINK I got in at least a mile if not more. Then for dinner I had an uncle bens pasta bowl (380 calories, 7g fat). Bedtime snack was one fig newton, a glass of 1% milk, and a few banana chips throughout the evening.

I turned town candy bars yesterday, and I walked. Overall, I’m pretty proud of myself.

The problem with me is if I do good for one day, I expect the scale to change dramatically. That is unrealistic. I should be happy with one good day, and try to repeat it the next day. I’m feeling very hopeful and I hope I don’t get discouraged, because I should be very happy with my willpower, even if the results aren’t showing.

I was told yesterday that if I live in Colorado, I have no choice but to become active and physically fit. That is true, everyone in this state is that way.

Motivation for today: Hopefully within 3 weeks (by August 9), I’ll be able to wear some clothes that fit too snugly now.

This morning I had one slice bread (40 calories) and 1 tbsp of peanut butter (100 calories, 8 g fat).

Yesterday, I finished up the day by eating a salad (regular dressing, so the whole thing was probably 350 calories and 14 grams of fat, max). I also had a beer (150 calories, no fat) and 2 lean pockets (280 calories, 8 grams of fat).

It’s obvious where my problem is going to lie. The evenings.

Did not walk. I’m so tired after I get home. Yesterday I went tanning and to the grocery store after work. It is clear I’m not going to have the willpower to exercise in the evenings. That will still be a goal, but I need to get my exercise over early so if I skip the evenings, it won’t be a big deal.

This morning had 2 breakfast lean pockets (8 g fat, 280 calories). Now drinking 1 glass iced tea and one glass water. Brought vegetables to snack on, and a 70 calorie yogurt stick.

I’m going to try and add an extra dose of Metabolife at 2:30 in the afternoon to see if that will help my evening eating. Also, yesterday I bought tons of diet meals from the store (frozen).

Motivation for today: I don’t want to look pregnant any more!

Since breakfast, I had 3 glasses of watered down iced tea, a cup of applesauce (about 70 calories) and a slimfast (220 calories). Plus the lifesavers, probably about 550 calories so far today.

OK, well the rest of the day didn’t go well yesterday. I had taco bell for dinner, which was at least 1000 calories and only God knows how much fat. I backed out of exercising and out of walking. I was asleep by 8pm.

Today, I started off with 2 metabolife and 1 vitamin, and a slim fast (220 calories, 3 g fat). I’m now enjoying a tasty life savers (15 calories, 0 fat) and an iced tea (no calories). I’ve done well to stay away from pop the past 4 days at least, but even when I have one, it’s diet so no bigge.

Today I want to think about how much more comfortable I’d be sitting down if I didn’t have my fat rolls. I also want to think about people’s perceptions of me, and how much more professional I’d look with the weight off.
