dinner = 1/2 cup green beans, 3 oz pork loin, 1 cup mix fruit, 2 spoonfuls of asian salad, and 1/2 cheddar biscuit (not pictured... my husband didn't want to eat the very bottom b/c it was too crunchy, and i just couldnt let it go to waste... oops!) still managed to keep the calories low at - 260 calories

post work out snack-a-roo - spicy thai pineapple wrap - 40 calories

so total intake was 390 calories!!   
and i decided to restart the ABC today... so Success for Day 1!!!  under 500 calories... yah!



Exercise I also ran 1 mile, 9:30 seconds, which is 6.2mph pace. (which only burned 90 calories, but hey, i'll take it!)  I have a 5K Friday night, which is my very first 5K.  Wish me luck!! 

challenge = photo food diary

i am challenging myself to take a pic of everything i eat through the day and post on here... the good and the bad... accountability = success = UGW!

beginning again

so today is day one of ABC diet, which is 500 cal or less. and also, one thing i love about ABC diet is that it is fairly easily to burn all the calories you take in, and that always makes me feel super accomplished!

here is my plan:

Breakfast
Coconut Mocha K-Cup with Splenda - 0 cal

Snack
Clementine - 35 cal

Lunch
Smoothie (Spinach, banana, strawberry, pineapple) - 120 cal

Snack
Veggies from veggie tray - 25 cal

Dinner
Slushie (diet sprite, strawberry, mango, pineapple) - 75 cal

Exercise
Walk my doggy, 30 min ( -88 cal)
Jog 5K, 35 min (- 280 cal)
And go to beginners cycling class, 45 min ( -300 cal)

Total Intake = 255  cal
Total Burned = 668 cal
Net = - 413

i'll update tonight, when the day is over... seems a lil ambitious, even for me!

 

abc... again

so i am pulling out the tried and true ABC diet... i am going for a personal best, to make it past 14 days.  and i really need the weight loss. i am super depressed this morning the scale was 119.  mega fat, super huge.  i am disgusted with myself right now, which isnt it good thing bc it makes me want to binge more....

so here are my weakness and my plan to manage them..

salty snacks, like cheese cracker (my favorite!)... spicy pickle spears (5 cal each), or banana pepper rings (1 calorie per ring)

chocolate... every girls weakness i am sure... i found this arctic zero chocolate ice cream that is gluten free and it has only 150 calories in the whole pint, so 1/2 cup has like 37 calories... or a sugar free fudgesicle at 40 calories.

skittles....  frozen strawberries, 1/2 cup 25 calories.

so next time i am craving one of those 3 of my favorite binge foods, i WILL make a consicious decision to eat the alternative or just drink a glass of water. :D

what are your favorite binge foods?? and would could you sub that would help you lose the weight?!

summer time is approaching

summer time is coming up so quickly!   its time for a new plan...  i haven't been watching what i eat much, i mean i still eat way less than a normal person, but i also have my binge days, that are just crazy.... but anyways,  the first day of Summer is June 21st.   that is in 71 days... and i am still FAT!  eeeekk!

so i also have a derby party to go to May 4th, which is in 3 1/2 weeks, and i really need to lose weight by then.  I bought this really cute dress, but i bought it a size too small, as motivation.   i think i need to lose like 7 to 10 lbs to fit in it.   hopefully that is doable by then!   So to be between 108 and 105 by then here are my weight range goals for the next few weeks.  

Saturdays

4/13 ~ 114.1 - 113.7

4/20 ~ 112.1 - 110.8

4/27 ~ 110 - 107.9

5/4 ~ 108 - 105 

totally hope i can stop binging! :-(

nothing like some good thinspo...

so so

well things are going ok.  i made it the 2 days on the apple fast and lost 2 lbs, got down to 113 lbs... now i am teetering back and forth between 113 and 114... i really need to buckle down, but still just don't feel motivated.  i did really well today tho, i woke up with what seemed like the beginnings of a cold, so i took a sudafed (the real stuff)  and it fixed that problem, but it also took away my appetite.   i didn't plan on today being a fast day, but it ended up being one... i had 2 cups of coffee and 2 bottles of water and not once did i feel hungry or even think about food.  coincidence??  maybe i'll take one tomorrow too and see if i get the same effects.

i'm back.... i hope!

hey ladies... sorry i've fallen off the face of the earth for a lil bit.  i've been really unmotivated and a little down... no particular reason, i guess its just the winter time blues...  but i'm tired of laying around being lazy and mopey!  so I'm back.  and I am ready to catch up on your blogs and start posting and replying more.   also  i'm ready to get back to losing weight, instead of gaining!  so this morning i weighed 115 lbs...  after 118 a couple days ago, (not proud of that at all, probably my tipping point!)  

do you guys remember that I had my family in a weight loss competition?  well obviously, I lost b/c I gained some weight during it... but my husband won!  he lost 10.4 lbs!  and really he didn't need to lose weight, he is already a slim built man.  but his little abs are peeking out now and it is sooo super sexy!  anyways...  we made a deal with each other about losing 5 more pounds a piece, so that is a little motivating for sure too! ;-)   

anyways,  i am going to try an apple fast for the next two days.  I am hoping I do well and if possible maybe continue the apple fast longer... but my Goal is 2 days, and if I meet and exceed that, then woo hoo.  :-)   i've read where some people lose anywhere from 3 - 10 lbs in 2-3 days on this fast, so here goes nothing... hoping for 3-5 lb loss.... we'll see where it takes me!

wish me luck, and let me know if you wanna join the fun! :D

pic update

so here is a picture update.  this was taken at the very end of January while on my birthday cruise.  I was about 112 lbs at the time.  i have gained back a little bit, i am at 115 lbs... but i am starting a raw vegan diet cleanse on Wednesday for lent.  so i am giving up meat and processed foods basically.  hopefully i can make it the 40 days and hopefully i will finally get out of this rut of losing and gaining the same 3 lbs!

need help

i am in desperate need of some help... i can not stop eating... its horrible... i have been exercising at least, but i just wanna eat all the time and constantly cave to my cravings.  i need some tips, hints, suggestions to overcome this...  i am back to 115 lbs..  :-(   i feel like crying.

110.6

yah!  a new low!  110.6 lbs!   finally i see the number 110 on the scale!  now just 0.6 lbs and 8 days left... i think this is in the bag.   but then again every time i start to feel confident i binge like crazy.   so don't hold your breathe if you follow my blog!  haha...
