I'm no longer afraid of what I can't do. I'm afraid of what happens if I don't try.

Food Plan: Day 2

I have to say, it was great being back on track today. I must have been doing something wrong because today I ate everything on my list and didn't want anything else. I mean, don't get me wrong, there was really NO reason for Mo to have leftover snickers cake in front of me;-) but I'll forgive him only because it was his birthday cake....and he's 30 so I'm sure it's like a mid-life crisis or something..hehehe! xoxo!

Here's what tomorrow has in store for me.

Breakfast
1 cup diced cantaloupe
1 cup milk nonfat
1 cup cheerios
.5 bagel
1 tbsp cream cheese light

And here we go!

Mijo and I went grocery shopping after I spent 30 minutes of figuring out a food plan for this week. I'm going strictly off Sparkpeople and not improvising in any way this week.

So here is my food plan for tomorrow. 2/11/08 (feel free to steal--this will keep you well under 1300 calories (closer to 1200) and in all healthy areas of nutritional values)

Breakfast:
.5 Banana
1 Yogurt, Yoplaight Light, Strawberry and Banana
2 slices Toast, whole wheat
1 tbsp Jelly

Lunch:
2 cups lettuce leaf salad shredded
.5 can Tuna, Canned in water
8 Whole Wheat hard pretzels
.5 tbsp Kraft Mayo light mayonnaise

Dinner:
.5 green bell pepper
2 oz flank steak
2 oz colby cheese
2 flour tortillas
.5 cup salsa

Snacks:
.5 Banana
.5 oz Tortilla Chips
5 tbsp Salsa

I'm Frustrated!!

No matter how hard I try,I can't get better! I was fine yesterday and woke up today feeling like crap. I feel like the kids and I keep passing this back and forth to each other. Note to self: Next year..........EVERYONE is getting the flu shot!

Weigh in--1 pound weight gain in the last two weeks. I'm not impressed. But in my defense..I have nothing.

TGIF--almost!

All I need to say is thank goodness it's almost Friday. I am so happy for this week to be over. It has been a bad bad week and I have noone to blame but..everyone else, just kidding..ME!! ME MEMEMEMEMEMEMMEMEMEME! I take all the blame. I haven't made time to make lunches and my wonderful bosses have been buying me lunch..which I totally appreciate of course....but tacos de carne asada and pizza is probably not at the top of my list..right?

Anyway, starting next week, I have a full hour after work to workout before I pick up the girls. I now officially have no excuses. The sun is shining, testing is almost over (1 more day), no more wrestling, no more rushing around. I should be good to go!

With that said. I'm looking forward to a long weekend of rest and relaxation. One more Saturday of wrestling and that's pretty much all I have planned. It's been a long week of sleepless nights and let me tell you..this cara is NOT looking pretty....ugh.

See..I Told You So

When you don't hear from me....I'm not doing so hot.

Okay well to be fair, I'm not doing too bad either..but mostly because I am sick. I will say I'm not doing well because I'm eating about 1 meal a day. It has been a ridiculous week at work and next week will be more of the same...my job tends to be on the slow side most of the time, unless its testing time...then...it's long hours and lots of stress. And since I'm not feeling well, when I get home, I just crash....

However, I'm going grocery shopping today and will presort a bunch of snacks and meals to make this week easier for me. I'm hoping my honey does his part to help us out and cooks some good meals on the days I can't be here to do it.

I've had a really bad cold I guess, and am worried that I went straight from a cold to a flu because my stomach is very very sour right now. yuck. BUT to get me through the stress of this week, I promise to workout 30 minutes a day. I'll need some me time to destress and will attempt to eat more than one meal a day....I promise!

Oh I forgot to mention in here, but I am going to an every two week weigh in. I don't want to be a slave to the scale so my weigh in dates will be Saturday mornings and my next weigh in is next Saturday. See you then!

JK I will be checking in this week if anything to post my workouts and food goals...

adios! super bowl is on ;)
