Photo Food Journal ~ June 14th ~ Monday

Tuesday, June 15, 2010

I woke up yesterday with my hubby at 5:30 because I wanted to work out and get it done. I actually ended up getting to bed at 10:30 the night before so I felt pretty good. If I stay up any later than 10:30 then there is no way I am getting out of bed before 7am. My plan for this week is to make sure I get to bed early, get up early and work out. So far I am off to a good start.

Anywhoo, I split my breakfast into two parts because for one I dont like working out on a real full stomach but its a good idea to eat something before working out and for two If I eat my full breakfast that early then I end up getting hungry again by like 9:00.

I did 30 minutes of The biggest loser boot camp video and then ate -

Breakfast 6am: 1/2 cup milk blended with 1/2 scoop protien powder & 1/2 small banana, sprinkle of sliced almonds
(NO PIC)

Breakfast 8:30am: 1/2 cup V8 Juice..... 3 egg omelet with tomato, red bell pepper, fresh basil, salt, pepper, onion mrs dash & 1/8 cup 2% cheddar cheese..... 1/2 everything bagel thin.... 1/2 tbls cream cheese 1/3 fat

Breakfast total: 418


At lunch I desided to split a hot pocket with my daughter because when I bought them I dident realize that they have almost 300 calories a peice... really dosent seem worth it when you think about it. I really wanted a hot pocket though and it was good even if it was only half.

Lunch: 1/2 ham & cheese lean pocket, 1 serving alexia sweet potato fries w/ ketchup & malt vinegar, small salad w/ shredded carrot, kens honey mustard dressing, & bacon bits - 399


Snack: 1 box cracker jacks.... I never even thought of getting these because come on how can caramel popcorn and peanuts be ok to eat... but I was in the grocery store and came accross them and picked them up and saw that they only have 120 calories!!! wow, who knew. they are great because they taste good, are portion controled and great on calories - 120



For dinner I got some steak on sale the day before. We hardly ever buy beef or chicken so it was a treat. I really enjoyed this, its basically steak cut up into peices and cooked in a nonstick pan with cooking spray. Its usually made by just cooking the steak whole and putting the relish on top but I wanted to stretch my 1/2 pound of beef farther so I had more of the relish then steak. anyway, Then the relish like sauce thats over it is diced onions, garlic, carrots and canned tomatoes sauteed and then simmered for a few minutes in 1/2 cup chicken broth with 1/2 tsp oregano & 1 tsp rosemary. very tastey........ the potatoes diced and boiled untill just tender and then tossed in a little olive oil, minced garlic and dried rosemary and baked in the oven for 15 or so minutes untill kinda crisp.

Dinner: Steak with tomato vegetable sauce..... garlic rosemary potatoes.... canned green beans.... ketcup ~ 429


snack: small bloody mary... 1/2 cup V8, 1/2 oz vodka ~ 57 cal
(tall glasses are great because they give the allusion that you have a bigger drink lol)


snack: 1/2 cup cookies and cream frozen yogurt, whipped topping, lite hersheys syrup - 184
(NO PIC)

Total Calories for the day : 1608

Summer Goal Dress ~ ACHEIVED!!!

Sunday, June 13, 2010

Yay... I bought this dress about 5 months ago hoping to look good into it by summer. At first I couldent fit into it and then I looked really lumpy in it.... Now I think I look pretty rockin... I saw the pictures after I cropped them and was like... "wow thats me?". Its hard to tell how you are gonna like clothes when you cant fit them yet though, I dont think I particuraly like the bottom of the dress. I would love it if it wasent all spiky on the bottom. But anyway, I still think I looked pretty good. Here are some pics so you can see for yourself.

March around 195 or so ... too hippy.


Today - 180


I cant wait to get some more clothes that I feel really great in.
