Hi everyone! I really had good intentions of posting last night, but we ended up playing games till midnight and since I have to start work at 6am, blogging was the last thing on my mind. I am super excited Ashley is joining us. She is going to do so great!. Since we stopped we have talked several times about starting again, but have never actually started blogging so I am happy we are finally doing it!. Shelly is right, Katie doesn't need to be blogging/dieting, but I on the other hand was not as good as Katie was over the holidays. I am ashamed to say I gained all but 7lbs back from my original start weight and now that Sadie is almost a year I don't have an excuse to blame anymore. So hopefully I can get motivated by this blog again and start shedding the lbs like I did last time.
So... Yesterday was super hard for me. Katie called me Saturday night and said "tomorrow we start again" giving me no mental time to prepare. I had already eaten my last pre-diet meal which means I didn't even get to gorge, which is kinda good I guess!. It made yesterday really hard though. I just wasn't there mentally yet, so I had a lot of snacks! Here is my breakdown....
Breakfast: 2 Eggs, scrambled in a Carb Smart Tortilla.
Snack: 2 string cheeses
Lunch: Cheeseburger. (ugh, that hurts to write especially knowing Katie and Ashley had a turkey burger!)
Snack: 2 Graham Crackers and 1 package of Fruit Jammers.
Dinner: I didn't have dinner because lunch was at a weird time and I had snacks in place of dinner..
Dessert: Strawberries and Banana's lightly dipped in DARK chocolate fondu.
Total Calories: 1368
Oh my gosh, I am seriously so embarrassed writing all that down. Yesterday I didn't feel so bad about it, but looking at it now it's no wonder I gained back my previously lost weight. UGH!.
Two things that I didn't know that really surprised me as I was talking with Katie last night. Bananas are SUPER SUPER high in calories. I had no idea. I thought Banana=Healthy. Yikes. Also, Milk.... not so good for you. I thought it was good to help get your dairy (which it is), but it is also super high in calories.
Until tonight.... :)
You ladies are fantastic! If I wrote down what I ate yesterday you would all be happy with yourselves - of that I am sure. When I have this next babe I would LOVE to join in the challenge (if you want another participant). In fact I would like to join now (not as losing weight, but watching my weight gain). What do you all think? Is there room for one more on your blog?
ReplyDeleteThere's always room for one more. Just text me the email you use for your blog and your starting weight/ goal and I'll try to set up a ticker. I've never tried it for weight gain but I'm sure there is a way to do it. Then you'll have a chart you can reference.
DeleteIm with Shelley theres always room for one more! We can keep each other going and its nice to have support when you are trying to loose weight and keep it off. Come join the fun :)
