Friday at home

The power is out at my office. I am home, unexpectedly, and not managing well. I don't even know how to enter into Livestrong what I have eaten today. It's not terrible... but it's not great. So, I'm going to track points today instead.

breakfast: egg+egg white, milk, feta, spinach and zucchini w/little OO: 4

Bites, licks, tastes of chocolate cake: 2

Toddler Carrot Muffin with Raisins (plus some batter): 3

crumbs and few low-fat pita chips: 2

mango: 1

Okay. It's 12 noon. I have not eaten lunch. I have a 1 p.m. conference call. I'm going to do JW now so that I can burn some of these calories. Then I'll have lunch. This day need not be a waste-land of eating!!

turkey sandwich: 5

JW upper and lower body--IT WAS HARD! 3 days of exercise in a row and I'm feeling it! But, in a good way...

17 eaten so far.

In the end, I entered everything into Livestrong... I felt less bad about my intake after the exercise... I still ate nearly all my calories burned. But, I skipped my piece of the chocolate cake after dinner.

Wednesday intake

 I ate nearly all my exercise 'calories'. Not sure why... I was at home. There was food around... I was feeling kind of low. Still, overall I did okay. And I didn't eat crap.

Monday intake

I was so busy yesterday that I didn't have time to think about eating more than I was supposed to... I came in just a few calories under my target.

Two really good stories on NPR

One on why we gain weight as we age.

The other on how our brains react differently to food if we are in weight-loss mode!!

This 2nd one made so much sense to me. I am very aware of those emotional feelings about food. I wonder how far away we are from supplements of that hormone they mention being given to people post-diet to help them maintain...

Sunday intake

I did really well today. I did eat 1/2 a scone, but then took the remaining 4 to my friend's house this morning and declined when she offered me one.

I tracked the salad from California pizza kitchen, but I had dressing on the side and I didn't eat most of the nuts--pushed them to the side. So, I'm doing better on calories/fat than it appears below.

I still have some calories left for today, but I also didn't completely count the salad--which had some dried cherries, avocado, and edemame in it. Probably added 100 calories all together since I snacked on some edemame while cooking, too.

I didn't get to exercise. Instead I took a nap in the morning, and visited with two different friends--one with Michael and one on my own (during which time I bought the jeans!).

I felt much more in control this weekend!!

Size 31 Lucky Jeans

I bought a pair of Lucky jeans at Marshalls today! Size 31, which corresponds to a 12 (I think). They are a little snug and they definitely create a muffin top... but they are sexy. And, per Indya, they are "reach" jeans. At $32, I didn't feel bad about the purchase.

I also bought a new jog bra. Wearing that more often will help the Lucky jeans fit better.

Saturday intake

It was a good day. I ate awesome treats, but not a lot of food total. I exercised. We socialized. Went to the grocery store as a family--which I find fun.

It's true I ate 700 calories of scone, but damn... they were good!!

And, I didn't really go over since I had all those calories burned (Thanks, Jackie!).

I'm wondering lately what my measurements are... I think I'll try to do them tonight.
