Lost track of the days

I have stopped titling each post with the day because I'm not being consistant with my post.

I had bacon and egg on whole wheat toast for breakfast, lunch was General Tao's chicken with fried rice that I share with my son and for dinner I had Pop.eye's. The chicken was not good so I didn't eat it but the fries were delicious.

Monday, 8/15 I had a BLT for breakfast. A 6" Subway's Italian BMT on honey oat bread for lunch and dinner was a Chicken quesadilla panini sandwich. Workout was 1 hour boot camp class and 1/2 hour turbo kick class.

Tuesday, 8/16 I had a BLT for breakfast. A 6" Subway's Italian BMT on honey oat with a bag of sweet potato chips and 2 oatmeal cookies and dinner was a large strawberry and blueberry smoothie with whey protien. I had 1 oz serving of Sun Chips and 2 pretzel and cheese snacks. Workout was 1 hour Zumba class and 1 hour pilates class which was more strength training and cardio than pilates.

Weighed on Friday, I'm currently 249.6 lbs.

The weekend is here and I'm already starting out on a bad note. I went to the movies to see The H.elp and I had a small popcorn along with a movie size theater pack of Twizzlers. After the movie I had 3 tiny cup cakes, which were probably 100 calories each. Then I had a frappuccino from star.bucks. I topped the night off with fried chicken and french fries. I sabotage myself every weekend. I have a pretty decent week and then the weekend gets here and it all goes out the window.

I did not go to the gym since this weekend.

Today I had a bacon and egg sandwich on a plain bagel for breakfast. A grande ice coffee from star.bucks with 3 splendas and half & half. For dinner I had a large red snapper with a large heaping of mixed veggies. Then it all went to shit again. I had 2 small bags of cheese curls, 5 swedis.h fish and 2 smack size snicker bars. Did not workout today but I did a lot of walking.

Day 3 and 4

Its only day 3 and I'm already slacking. I forgot to post yesterday.

I had the usually breakfast yesterday. For lunch I had Chipotle, a chicken burrito bowl with a little cheese. Dinner was a fried snapper with about 3 cups of mixed veggies. Again, I had some potato chips. I also had a late night snack which was about 1/2 grilled chicken breast with a tiny multi-grain roll. The potato chips are doing me in.

I went to a Body Pump class at the gym last night which is a strength training.

Today, 8/11 I had the usual breakfast. No condense milk or sugar in my ice coffee this morning which is a plus. I had a small slice of Lemon pound cake.

Lunch:
3/4 cup of brown rice
3 oz steamed shrimp
1 oz teriakyi beef
1 oz roasted turkey
1 oz chicken with broccoli
1 cup of broccoli
10 oz diet Mountain Dew

2 slices of multi-grain toast
1 fried egg
3 strips of bacon
12 oz coffee
2 tbsp half and half

I've decided to stop using the condense milk. When this can is done I will not repurchase another one. I basically have the same breakfast everyday. When I get tired of it and I will find something else. I need to add some veggies and fruit to my breakfast.

Took my vitamins. I take a multi vitamin, salmon oil (a source of omega-3), calcium with magnesium, an antioxidant and an iron pill.

Lunch:
12 oz Turkey Lentil soup with lots of veggies
1/4 chicken parmigiana panini sandwich
Green Tea with 3 splendas (no soda today, go me!)

1 hour Zumba

Dinner:
Salad (from Tossed)
roasted chicken
bacon bits
goat cheese
dried cranberries
broccoli
chopped tomatoes
roasted corn and black bean salad

I had a small bag of Wise onion and garlic potato chips along with 5 Swedish Fishes. I'm not going to sweat it because tomorrow is another day

Day 1 and counting

Today I decided to blog about my journey with loosing weight. I've been overweight all my life. I was a chubby kid and an overweight teenager. Last year I decided to do something about it. I thought I was serious but apparently I wasn't. Since last year I have lost 25 lbs. That is just unacceptable! I know what I need to do to lose weight but I refuse to do it. I love to snack, I snack when I'm bored, happy, sad and busy so I'm not an emotional eater. I just love to snack. I love salty and crunchy things, potato chips are my weakness.

So, today 8/8, I'm going to blog about my weight loss journey. It seems to work for others so maybe it will work for me.
