Day 7
Sep 07 2009 22:45

I made it through the weekend! I was suppose to go to the gym for my first work out but they were closed...so tomorrow.

Yesterday was a high calorie day...I was out all day at the Aquarium and then hung out until the fireworks with friends....I started out good with a sandwich and some baked lays at around 11:30 am (in a rush, had to skip breakfast)...but then had a 32 oz minute maid Lemonade....way more calories then the sandwich and chips combined!  I have to stick to water!...I did notice that my tastebuds are adjusting though...the lemonade seemed super sweet.   .  While walking around the mall everyone wanted to go to cold stone creamery...it looked so good!!!....I went in and got the smallest and lightest thing I could find....sinless raspberry sorbet about a cup and 1/2 and only 200 calories (It was so good i thought it would be way higher) Later on I had a 100 calorie kudos bar and a strawberry bran muffin...(my healthy friend thought ahead and gave me her extra snack)about 3 hundred calories...not bad......I walked around all day and didn't get to eat again until around midnight at the afterparty....all they had was pizza...so I had one slice of papa johns pizza and 1 of the cinnamon treats...about 400 calories...eek!  I didn't drink any alcohol and ended up driving home around 2:30am...still really hungry...I wanted to go to white castle so bad....I didn't.  I got home and my parents had a box of leftovers from a steak house...i couldn't resist...i ate a 3 oz piece of steak and 5 breaded mushrooms and 2 large onion rings with bbq sauce...another 400 calories....i ended the day with about 2200 hundred calories...it's not as bad as I thought it was going to be...I need to make sure that I'm prepared if I'm going to be out all day where healthy food is not accesible.  

I'm feeling good about making it throught the first week.  I haven't gone crazy and binged on a bunch of bad things...sure yesterday i ate some not so healthy things but I did okay.  Today I was right back in line with Shredded wheat for breakfast and lean chicken and veggies for dinner...well within my calorie goal...I posted my future "before" pictures today...hopefully looking at them will help my motivation!
