The good news from last week is that I didn't gain any weight. The bad news is that I didn't lose any either. So I'm still at 158.8. That's totally justified, since I started off strong, then devolved in to a dehydrated, ice cream eating mess. Anytime my routine gets disrupted (traveling, company, not grocery shopping, lots of events), I find it really hard to stay consistent with eating healthy and exercising.
I'm feeling just...blah. My clothes feel tighter, and I feel uncomfortable. No good. So the goals this week to help with that are:
Breakfast was cherry tomatoes (50) and a tiny bit of homemade ranch dip made with fat free sour cream (30), plus a glass of water. Look, I just don't really like sweet stuff for breakfast.
Then we went to the Farmer's Market where we picked up three types of tomatoes ('cause I love 'em!), some blueberries, and an orange watermelon.
Lunch was a BLT made with whole grain bread (100), center cut bacon (70) which has 25% less fat cooked on the Foreman grill and then drained, lettuce and tomato (duh, 25), and Miracle Whip light (25). I also had some watermelon (50) and two glasses of water.
So, why center cut bacon and not turkey bacon? Sodium and weird ingredients. Read this and this if you are curious. And of course, check the labels when you go shopping.
Snack was half of a cucumber (25), sriracha hummus from the Farmer's Market (100), and a handful of pita chips (70).
Dinner was six raw oysters (60), a salad (100), two small fish tacos (500), and a third of a banana pudding dessert - I asked for the bananas plain and not covered in caramel (225). Plus five glasses of unsweetened tea with lemon.
Exercise was a two mile walk.
Calories: 1400 out of 1400
Water (or in this case, unsweetened iced tea): 8 out of 8
Exercise: yes
I'm feeling just...blah. My clothes feel tighter, and I feel uncomfortable. No good. So the goals this week to help with that are:
- Drink 8 glasses of water a day.
- Exercise every day except Friday.
- PLAN BETTER!
