Day 9

I'm so tired of wearing a t-shirt and jeans to work.  I want to wear a nice outfit, but I'm just not comfortable in my skin right now to wear something nice.  Some days I feel like this weight will never come off because I can't control myself when it comes to snacks.  Last night I had a 1/2 serving (.5 oz) of pop chips and then I ate 1 serving (1 oz) of Utz cheese curls.  I finished the bag of cheese curls and don't plan on buying more anytime soon.

Breakfast 9:00 am
1/2 cup of broccoli
1/4 cup of home fries
1/4 cup of imitation crab with shrimp
2 strips of bacon
1 hard boiled egg
12 oz coffee with 2 packet of Splenda and 1/2 tbsp of cafe al fresco caramel syrup

Lunch 1 pm
2 cups of salad greens with cilantro, spinach and olive oil (.5 tbsp)
1/4 cup of brown rice with dried cranberries, beans and nuts
1 oz of grilled chicken
6 fried calamari rings
1 oz of grilled salmon
.5 oz of steam sweet plantain
1 steam vegetable dumpling
1 cup of frozen yogurt (new york cheesecake with 1 tsp of crumpled oreo)

I've started telling myself on my way home from work that I have to workout tonight.  If I don't do that I won't workout.  I'll get in the house, get on the Internet and then I'm done for the night.  Last night my son called me during my workout, I had to walk around in a circle so that my muscles didn't get cold.  I was really enjoying the workout and I wind up going for an extra set of the HIIT 15.

Dinner 8:00 pm

2 oz Turkey breast packed in water (Berkley & Jensen) with olive oil mayo
17 Carr's salt and pepper water crackers
2 oz. Utz kettle classics sweet potato chips made with pure peanut oil

Snack 10 pm
Skinny Cow milk chocolate dreamy clusters

Tonight I did Jillian Michael's 30 day Shred level 1 as my workout. I made it through the entire video with a few modifications.  I can't do a jumping jack because it hurts my knees to do them.  During the jumping jacks I ran in place instead.  I can't wait until I reach my next goal of 239 so I can buy my heart rate monitor.
