The girls did good at there game last night, we ended up beating them 2 out of 3. I got home around 7:30pm with dinner on the table and a clean family room…it was nice. Mike picked me up a garden salad and I added a morningstar chicken patty on the top. I had ranch dressing on the side and just fork dipped it. I also added some sprays of italian dressing. I ate all of it except the cheese and tomatoes.

 

Got a little exercise September 25, 2008

Instead of going to spin class after practice I went to my future sister-in-laws house to exercise with her. We walked/jogged 2 miles and did push-ups, crunches, squats, and a bunch of other stuff that I don’t know what they are called. For dinner we decided on chicken salads with romaine lettuce, carrots, tomato, grilled chicken, peppercinis, some parm cheese, a little bbq sauce and some ranch dressing. It was really good. I remembered to take the picture after I already starting eating.

For snack I had bought a fruit platter thing from McDonalds…it was pretty good. I ate about 1/2 of the yogurt and everything else.

For lunch I had a tuna salad with spring mix, zucchini, cucumber, red onion, olives and a light balsamic vinaigrette.

 

I’m glad it’s Monday September 15, 2008

I’m actually glad it is Monday. I don’t know why but I have the hardest time controlling myself over the weekend. I always eat and drink way too much. So today I need to get back on track.

Saturday night I had a little scare…I ended up in urgent care till 3am. Around midnight I was walking to the bathroom and half way there I felt the worst pain in my foot. It felt like a huge needle got stabbed in my foot. I looked down and saw a huge scorpion running across the room. I started scream to Mike to kill it!!!! He did and put it in a bottle and we rushed to the urgent care which is 45 minutes away from our house. When I got there the doctor said that it was definitely a poisonous one. They took my blood, put in an IV and gave me some medicine so I wouldn’t be nauseous. 2-3 hours later I was able to leave. He said I should be fine. Boy was that scary!

I just realized that I forgot my camera cord at home. I was in a hurry this morning and switched bags…I left it in the other bag. :( Sorry! I’ll have to upload my breakfast and lunch tomorrow. For breakfast I had instant oatmeal and a very ripe banana.

Dinner: I had 2 different salads. They were in a small bowl.

Mike had to leave early this morning to take his CSET in Riverside at 7am. So I was up early with him. I did a 2.2 mile walk on the treadmill and then made breakfast. I had a spinach omelet with egg whites, cheese, salsa and avocado. On the side I had a whole wheat english muffin with lowfat cream cheese. Great breakfast…I love eggs!!!

I made a quick lunch before I went to my mom’s house. She needed help loading songs on her ipod. I made a chicken salad with mixed greens, olives, zucchini, cucumber, sprouts, cheese, and croutons with a light balsamic vinaigrette.

Tonight for dinner I’m planning on making tacos for Mike and a big taco salad for me….and a few light beers to drink. Hopefully I’ll be able to post the picture later.

EDIT: When Mike got home from taking his test we went to his sister’s house, but before we left I had a spinach pizza and 2 coors lights. When we got to his sister’s I made myself a turkey sandwich with mustard, cheese and lettuce with Doritos. I also had 2 bud light limes and a ice cream bar (270 calories). Not a very healthy night, but I’ll make up for it tomorrow. :)

I went to lunch with Mike and he got to choose the place. We went to M&Gs… I got a turkey sandwich with a side salad and ranch dressing. The sandwich had mustard, lettuce, and tomato on white bread. I can’t even remember the last time I had white bread. My lunch was very BLAH…..never again will I order this. To drink I had a sprite. Very disappointing lunch. :(

 

Up late September 8, 2008

I was up late last night watching the stupid VMAs. Ughhh…they were horrible. I couldn’t stand the host, he was awful. But I kept watching and hoping that Britney was going to perform. Oh well, at least she won three awards. Anyways, my weekend was horrible…food wise. I don’t know what it is but during the week I do so good but soon as Friday hits I go into a fat ass mode and just want to eat and consume a lot of alcohol. This is my biggest problem! So for this weekend I want to see if I can go without the alcohol and fast food.

Oh yeah, I forgot to mention that I was doing a weight loss challenge…you can find it here: http://onebodylifechance.wordpress.com/2008/09/03/challenge/

So on to my Monday morning…I didn’t really feel like eating this morning, probably due to the over consumption of food over the weekend. But I had a pear and Larabar. Now I know what all the rage is about with these bars. They are so freakin good!!!!! A little high in calories, but good.

For lunch I made a salad with sprouts, bell pepper, cucumber, carrots, zucchini with the best miso caeser dressing ever. On the side I had some soybeans.

 

 

Leaving early September 4, 2008

I have to leave work around noon because I’m having an early practice today. It’s going to end at 3:15pm so afterwards I’m going to run a few errands then meet my mom at the gym at 5pm to do a lifting class. After the class I’m going out to dinner with my mom at Greenhouse Cafe…they have really good salads.

For lunch today I had the rest of my salad from yesterday and a sandwich on an english muffin with hummus, turkey, avocado and cucumbers.

 

Stuffed to the max September 3, 2008

I started eating my salad that I brought for lunch but then a friend said they wanted to go get lunch…so I put my salad away and joined her at a place called Charlie Brown Farms. Their avocado and sprout sandwich sounded good. I got it on a whole wheat roll with cheddar cheese and no mayo. It was good, but not great. The sandwich from yesterday was much better.

I had a few bites of my salad, I’ll probably save it for tomorrow.
