It's been a lifelong struggle, but this time I'm making a lifestyle change. No point in giving up, because I will always end up in the same dilemma. I want to be happy with myself, not disgusted with what I eat and that I don't do exercise. That's all changing now, and I plan on keeping that change permanent. No one said it was going to be easy to do this, nor did they say it would be a flawless journey, but I'm prepared to make the effort and learn from my mistakes as I go along!

I wish I had a dollar for every calorie I consumed at lunch..
I actually ended up at Chipotle for lunch, because my friend Fredy wanted to go there. I debated eating the whole burrito, and ended up devouring it in about 15-20 minutes. I don't feel gross though, like I usually do after eating a huge meal.. Plus, my uniform doesn't feel like it's about to rip open. That's a good sign, I think.
We went to Landmark mall afterwards and walked around. Fredy got a milkshake from Chic-Fil-A, but I was way too full to do that, and I'm glad that I didn't want it. That would've meant I consumed like over 2,000 calories in less than an hour. Not good. I probably had like 1100-1200 calories just from Chipotle. But, I didn't eat a morning snack, and I'll probably be too full to eat an afternoon snack.. so it kind of balances out.. (I hope).
I'm going to try and drink a bunch of water this afternoon to flush my system! I'll let you know how it goes..
Not Bad
I lied about lunch. I got a craving for Panera, and so I went there and got the You-Pick-2, Frontega Chicken Panini and Broccoli Cheddar Soup. This is starting to become "the usual" for me. I was super satisfied and full afterwards, so I didn't eat anything until last night around 9:00 pm. I had beans, rice, avocado, crema, and some cuajada cheese. I got full quick from that too.
I also had a rootbeer, which was 160 calories.
I must not have done too bad, because I weighed 247.4 lbs when I got up today. At least the scale has moved.
I've eaten a 140 calorie bagel with a little bit of cream cheese and diet Cranberry Juice for breakfast.
I'm contemplating Panera again for lunch, but we'll see what the boss (mom) says. Haha

I Gotta Refocus
My afternoon snack yesterday was a blueberry scone from Panera.. It was very satisfying, and 440 calories, as well (ahem..)
I did some weight lifting last night and some crunches, and little quick 2-min aerobics. Not much, I know, but Charlie wouldn't go to sleep so I was using that as my excuse to be lazy.
Then, a little after 11 pm, I actually made a smoothie (1.5 bananas, a small container of applesauce, a small container of apple juice, a peach yogurt, Benefiber, and ice). I think that was the tastiest smoothie I've ever made, even though it didn't have much fruit in it at all. But seriously though, that was one kick-butt smoothie (and I'm sure Benefiber will be kicking my butt later, as well).
This morning the scale read 248.4 lbs. I don't think I'm making much progress. I know my diet hasn't been ideal, lately. I need to think carefully about my food decisions before I eat. At least today I should be eating in at lunch. I might take a walk too, if it's not too hot.

Oh Thank Heaven!
Lunch was in a hurry because of a staff meeting. I could have stayed in the office and eaten a ham sandwich (yucky).. but I opted to go to 7-Eleven and grab something else. I got the TGI Friday's Chicken Quesadillas, a big bottle of water, and a 99 cent bag of Sweet and Spicy Chili Doritos.. Ok.. not the wisest choice for lunch, but I don't think it was terrible. The 2 Quesadillas total had 520 calories and the Doritos had 310.. So that was like what.. 830 calories? I don't think it was too bad at least. I'm really full too, by the way.
I don't plan on eating a snack for a lonnng while.. although I'm not suppose to eat my snack until 3:00 pm or after, anyways..

Maybe I can just skip the snack if I'm still full (yeah, right!).
Mickey D's Please
Yesterday Charlie was sick and I ate pretty healthily, but couldn't blog. Today, I had to get up extra early because Charles is going to the Zoo!!
So, I suggested that mom and I stop by McDonald's for breakfast, and we did. I got the sausage, egg, and cheese biscuit, a hashbrown, and a diet coke. Hey, a girl's gotta live once in awhile, right? Haha.
I am full right now, and usually, McDonald's breakfast keeps me full for awhile. I plan on having a healthier lunch than breakfast.
Oh and I forgot to mention that last night I did a 6-mile walk (sorry mom for being late!) burning about 600 calories.

I'm baaaackk
Well, it's been awhile since I've blogged. It's not that I didn't want to, though. It's because my computer hasn't been working.. But anyways, it's good to be back. The weekend was ok: not great, but not horrible, either. Today's weight was 248.2 lbs.
I just ate lunch. A ham and cheese sandwich with mayo, a few crackers w/ pimiento cheese spread, and a really small piece of hershey's chocolate.
I'm getting ready to take my lunchtime walk.
Nothing exciting to report, though!
