today was a great day at work, very mellow because some of the work got shifted around.  i got to catch up with the stuff that i had to complete, (projects) but nothing new really came my way, so all day was a catch up day! wonderful.

also, i went to a myers-briggs seminar that was held by my work, so i’m excited to see the results of that test.  these days, i am way into learning more about my personality and behavior so i know why i think the way i think and why i feel the way i feel.

this morning i overslept about 30 minutes, so eating was off.  for breakfast i had an apple, for lunch a granola bar, later string cheese, then yet again another granola bar.  total was about 400k by around 5 p.m. not good

for dinner i had 2 tomatoes and 1/4 avo i don’t know how many calories that is, i would assume 200? i don’t know.  then after that i had more chips (300k) then the rest of the espresso ice cream (400?) so i would estimate about 1300k again.  though the calorie number was good, i know i need to be eating more of the healthy stuff.  hey, but all the junk in my house is gone now, so no more of that processed foods in my house unless i have people over

one thing that will help is if i buy food in individually wrapped packages.  like when i bought the tofuttis from trader joe’s, since they were individually wrapped, it really helped me not to eat too much.  but with a carton of ice cream, i honestly can’t resist that extra spoonful!

so here’s the plan for the rest of this week:

am. eggwhich, as usual (300)

p.m. cheese, granola bar, apple (300)

p.m. chicken stir fry (300)

mango or smoothie (200)

totalling about 1100 calories. 

it’s so hard, because i have about 10 pounds to go, but i know it will take a long time, maybe a couple months.  i know i beat the hardest part, finally, which was controlling myself and not binging.  but when it comes to losing weight, that is really a day by day thing!!!!  and i know from the past, if i work out 4 or 5 times a week (incorporating both weights and cardio daily) i will lose weight soo fast! so soon enough, i’m certain that i will get there, but it will take time and hard work.  so for right now, continue to focus on the healthy eating…and i know eventually i’ll get the motivation and energy to start working out seriously.
