Day Twenty-Two (Three Weeks!? :O)
Nov 06 2009 09:11

I’ve gotta say, I just lost any respect I have ever had for Brooke Shields. Latisse? Really? How vain is society when people want longer lashes at the risk of a whole slew of side affects!? Ugh. This is so beyond plastic surgery (which I don’t oppose most of the time, but people need to realize bigger boobs won’t make them happy).

ALSO I HAVE BEEN SO BAD LATELY ABOUT LOGGING MY CALS. I haven’t done it at all. I mean, I’m doing three 400cal meals, plus snacks… so it’s pree easy to calculate in my head. But I really should be more diligent.

Breakfast:

Poached egg – 70 (Mmm… I do love me a poached egg!)

Slice of bread – 55

Dried Cranberries – 130

Kashi Honey Sunshine Cereal – 100

½ cup skim milk – 45

 Lunch:

Tuna salad – 160

Apple crisps – 40

Pear – 100

Vitamuffin – 100

Dinner:

Chocolate milk – 160

Fruit and oat bar – 240

Pre-workout snack:

Frozen yogurt popsicle, 3 shasha lemon snaps

Other snacks:

Almonds (70), pear (90)

Veg:

None. UGH. I was barely home today. I don’t know why it’s so hard for me to eat veggies!! I think I’m going to have to rethink this old veggie-as-main-snack, since I’m worried with only 1300-1400 cals and lots of exercise I’m heading towards starvation zone (thus the choice of almonds and a pear as an evening snack to up my cals). However I also need some veggie incentives!! I know their health benefits should be enough, but it just doesn’t seem to be! Eurgh! I do like my three squares a day though. It’s such a better fit for me than all the small meals. With small meals, I think of snacking. “Oh, I’ll just have another small meal, I’ve got loads,” I think. I can never fit higher-calorie foods into these meals either, because their cap is too low. No, this 400-cal three squares is working great for me! Breakfast at 8, lunch at noon, workout snack at 4 (sometimes is adjusted), dinner at 6. I think I’ll throw another snack in there at 8. I want to maximize my loss, but I don’t want to deprive my body of nutrients. I also don’t want to get back into old habits of 1000 calorie days.

Exercise:

20 min weight lifting

3 mile run; 1 mile walk
