While Babysitting, the mom had made a cassarole of spaghetti noodles and italian sausage. It was good, but i didnt eat much of it. I had a small amount of some homemade mango sorbet (it was soo good!) and then oh yeah, like half of a poptart- because it was the only thing i could get the baby it eat. and he had to feed me some, then he would eat some. hahha.

when i came home, i had a beer and some baked chips and salsa.

Day 13

ok so i know i fail at life.

I havent wanted to post cuz i know ive been bad. Katie and I bought a chocolate cake the other day, and ive been snacking on that WAAAAY too much. sigh. But its almost all gone now, and im going to the grocery store tomorrow to get healthy stuff.

i cant even really remember what i've been eating, so im just gonna start with today:

so far-

bowl of Special K

Ritz cheese crackers and a diet dr. pepper

in a bit im going to meet mere for lunch where i will have a salad from the salad bar on campus! yay!

i also had some chili with my salad.
for dinner i had some mexican.. taquitos..which are really just tortillas and chicken. i got the guacamole salad instead of rice and beans. oh. and i had a margarita.

i went contra dancing for like 3 hours tho.. and that is a damn work out! you get quite sweaty!! it was sooooooooo much fun tho! i think im gonna go next week!

Day 9

today was iffy.

I had a bowl of grape nuts trail mix cereal for breakfast which was actually really really good. I might buy some for my house too. It kept me full for a long time too.

for lunch I had some whole wheat pasta with tomates and olives. and some pretzels.
I snacked on some goldfish and some random kids cereal i found in teh house. it was also a whole wheat oat thing, so it was pretty healthy i guess.

but for dinner we went to wholly guacamole, which is a kick ass mexican restaurant! I know i ate too many chips (i cant help it, they're my weakness) but then i only ate half of my enchilada burrito. oh i also had some guacamole... but that's actually not too bad for you, avacadoes are yummy!

when i got home i took a long walk with the dogs (like 30 minutes) but i lost my ring in the process :( i'm going to go looking for it this afternoon when its actually light outside. I'll be home tonight (yay!) and then back to a normal gym schedule (yay!...wait.. no!!!!)

Days 7&8

OK so i've been at my boss's house taking care of his dogs and mother for the weekend, so I haven't exactly been eating normally. I also do not have a scale, so I have no idea what i weigh. I also don't have constant inernet, so I'll try my best to remember.

some fruit
1/2 a doughnut (mere's fault :)

Day 6

Ok, I guess i'll get this thing a little better organized now that i have two readers! (yay!)

Weight: 161 (which is after eating all day, but i think i might just try to stay consistant and always weigh myself at the end of the day)

Goal: 150

Food:

Special K with red berries (which actually is really good- and not bland)
Special K 90 calorie bar

then the bad part of the day comes

3 cheese sticks... but i threw away the fries!!!!

hahha i halfway tried at least..i hope my cray days will be done soon so i can get back to a normal gym and eating schedule. Tomorrow i'm going to the gym then out to Grandma-sit. They eat pretty healthy, so i should have good things to make while i'm out there. alright i guess that's it. i'll be better i promise!!!
