Day 2

Everyday there are baked goods in my office. Today was doughnuts and I held strong!

Breakfast:
PS Coffee
Banana
Strawberry Chobani
Lunch:

Salad w/leftover salmon, corn, lentils, and Light Vidalia Onion dressing

Dinner:

Spaghetti Squash (Eaten before I could take a pic!)

Sauteed onion, red pepper, and tomatoes with EVOO, Oregano, Salt and pepper, mixed with roasted squash and cubes of fresh mozzarella. I usually make this with feta but I didn't have any and had just bought an awesome assortment from The Kosher Cheese Guy!

1 cup low fat caramel delight ice cream.

I will probably regret this choice but I needed it for my sweet tooth!!!

No gym as I was at a Dr's apt but tomorrow is another day.

Today

Today was harder than expected as apparently I am used to eating incredible amounts of food.

Breakfast:
Coffee w/sugar free Pumpkin Spice creamer
Banana
Apple
Strawberry Chobani
Lunch:
Salad- lettuce, tomato, cukes, corn, can of tuna, light sweet vidalia onion
Dinner:
Sauteed onions, garlic and zuchini w/cup of brown rice and 1/2 lb terriyaki salmon (see pic)

Work Out:

BodyFlow- The instructor changed the class and it was taught by two people! Weird and annoyingly distracting. But it was faster than usual so I most likely burned more calories than usually.

The only downfall was today when somebody brought us danishes! I had 2 bites (urghhh no self control). Onward!

Oh. Hey.

Over the past couple of months, I have been logging my food on the WW app to no avail. Working out 3 nights a week has toned up my stomach but the past month of holidays has changed that. I went from a 153 with a flattish stomach in a zipped size 8 to what feels like a whale with a humongo blob belly at 156.5! So I am back to maintaining this blog! I will be eating healthy and logging my workouts here from now on!

So back by popular demand:

Monday (PRE DIET):
Coffee and Creamer- trying to cut back on the creamer its a very unhealthy habit!
Chocolate Popems ( in a meeting - working in the healthcare industry is ridiculous with the doughtnuts!!!)
Fiber 1- 2 point Brownie
Snyder of Hanover Peanut Butter sandwich pretzels
1 bowl of yellow split pea soup
Dinner at Mocha Bleu:
1 slice Margarita Pizza
French Onion Soup ($9!!!!)
Shared Disco Fries  aka French fries with mozarella cheese soaked in gravy aka heart attack on a tray
1 cup pumpkin ice cream

Tomorrows Lunch is packed and ready to go:
Coffee and sugar free creamer!
1 greek yogurt
1 salad with tuna can and lowfat sweet vedalia onion dressing
1 apple
Dinner-Sauteed Onions and Zuchini and Brown Rice
BODYFLOW class at 6:30!

GOOD LUCK TO ME!

A healthy lifestyle

I joined the gym! It had to be done and I have been wanting to join this specific one for awhile. They have great classes for me (Body flow- mix of yoga and tai chi but more upbeat, pilates, yoga, and zumba), daycare, and a pool! And I am being way better with eating fruit and veggies instead of oreos!
Dinner 2 nights ago: Chicken breast w/carmelized onions and steamed broccoli

Yesterday Eats:
Banana
Coffee
Peach nonfat Chobani
Cat cookies - Awesome lowfat trader joes (1 serving =15 cookies=3 points)
Humongo Falafel w/roasted eggplant spread for lunch at 2pm w/diet coke
Dinner- Sauteed peppers and onions over brown rice (this recipe)

Exercise- Body Flow class at 24 hour fitness!

Back on my game

So on Monday I bought a bag of Mint Oreos for the weekend and they were gone by Wednesday. NOT ok. So I am back on track now which just means I need to be really conscious about eating vegetables when I am hungry and want to snack.. not cookies.


Recent Dinner: Grilled Chicken, steamed broccoli and sauteed mushrooms (if only I always ate like this)

Another Dinner: Tortilla pizzas.. very thin and yummy! Roasted mushroom, tomato and pepper (3 seperate kinds G-d forbid my husband eats a mushroom)

An ACTUAL salad for lunch!! Hasn't happened in a month!!

Tuna, lettuce, tomato, corn, roasted mushrooms, peppers, cukes a squeeze of dijon mustard and a Tbsp of light mayo w/some apple cider vinegar.

Everyone has been telling me I look skinnier which is annoying bc I STILL WEIGH THE SAME! But whatever I am being very strict this week and have also started eating earlier in an effort to boost my metabolism in the morning.

Yesterday looked like:

Banana - now at 8:30 am not 11

Iced Coffee w/fat free vanilla creamer and skim milk

A chocolate chip brownie oat bar from Trader Joes (Amazing! and 3 points)

Chobani -nonfat peach- finally cheaper than $1 each when you buy 6!

Above tuna salad for lunch

Chili dog for dinner - downfall of the day. there is always one!

This week I have big plans to be on my game. I can do it.

Recent Eats

This week I ate whatever I wanted... What else is new.. but on Monday I weighed in and I got:

Starting Weight: 167.5lbs
This Weigh-in: 155.5lbs
This weeks gain: -1.5 lb
Total Difference: -12 lbs

The week in food pics:


 Grandma Birthday Cakes- She loves Strawberry Shortcake but the rest of us were getting sick of it so we got 1 chocolate and whipped cream and 1 strawberry shortcake.

The lowest point of the week might have been the hubs leaving a plate of extra icing on the side and coming home to find I had eaten all the extra sugary frosting...
The Bud loves food too!

Dinner last night:

Sunday Treat: Iced coffee from Wendys of all places.. 99 cents!!

Another low point: Yesterday at work I ate 2 Dunkin Doughnuts!!! 2!!! That is 30 points. NO MORE!

But I did find 2 point yogurts! Yoplait Greek.. hopefull they taste good.

And that is my rambling post for the day.

Fashion blog anyone?

Please ignore the mess that is my apt.. but this is an example of my work uniform:

Banana Republic tank and cardigan, J Crew factory minnie pants (called something else there), Jessica Simpson wedges (bought on sale at marshalls and super comfy basically worn everyday). and a little bud in the corner!

This is my uniform. Can you tell I don't want to talk about weight....

I gained 2 lbs. I attribute this to to my lack of control and eating out both on Shavuot (aka the fatning dairy holiday), Mothers Day, and also the shiva period that followed my uncles passing away.

Starting yesterday I am back in the weight loss game for real.

Starting Weight: 167.5lbs

This Weigh-in: 157 lbs
This weeks gain: +2 lb
Total Difference: -10.5 lbs

Yesterday I ate:

Coffee
Fiber Bar
Salad for lunch w/ 1/2 avocado and some feta
1/2 cup nonfat vanilla frozen yogurt blended w/ice and coffee!
1 salmon avocado roll
1 sweet kani roll
cantalope

AKA HUGE difference.
I can do this!
