Official Start
This is today’s pre-planned food journal. I’ve got a few calories to add to it somewhere.
Here’s the WW Points breakdown:
Breakfast (2):
- Omelet – 1
- Grapefruit – 1
Lunch (4):
- Pasta Jessica, half serving - 3
- Salad – 1
Dinner (6):
- Salmon – 3
- Casserole – 3
Snacks (7):
- Strawberries – 0
- Orange – 1
- Protien smoothie – 6
At my official start weight of 152.4 lbs, I get 22 points everyday. That meal plan is only using 19. I didn’t realize how few points the breakfast and lunch were going to be. There really is a lot of food. It’s all core except the cheese in the casserole and the protein smoothie, though, so that’s gotta be a good thing.
Yay for a great start! And 3 points of extra treats! The nice thing is, according to Sparkpeople, my extra calories need to come from fat and carbs. I’m thinking frozen yogurt….
Owning up.
I spoke earlier of getting my act together and getting back on Weight Watchers. I really need to.
About a month ago, I weighed 132 pounds. That was a good number for me. I was comfortable there. I wanted to become more strong, so I started a gym regiment that had me lifting weights 5 days a week. And I gained weight. The only problem is, I gained icky, ugly weight. Not the shapely, muscular weight that I’d be okay with. I wasn’t counting my points/calories as strictly anymore, but I was burning so many calories each day I figured it would all work out.
Well, it didn’t. I am going to post a picture of what I look like today. At 152 pounds. I gained TWENTY pounds. I am seriously disgusted with myself. Here goes nothing:
And now the whole world knows how smooshy and icky my body is. *sigh*
But maybe it will help me to whip this ass back into shape. Tomorrow marks precisely one month until my 25th birthday. I’m hoping to be at 140 by then. That’s 30 days. Or four weeks and two days. So technically my goal should be 144 with a healthy 2 lb per week loss. But I am thinking that a portion of my flubber is related to all the sodium I’ve taken in so I’m trying to factor in that bigger than usual loss the first week.
I am going to weigh in each Friday morning and report it here. I am also going to post my daily food journal. Really, I promise. If I don’t harrass me about it and then I will.
Oh, and…
I want to start my food journal again. I’m getting all soft and blubbery and I’ve gained loads of weight. I know it’s because I have been shoving my trap full of fat and sodium.
I am going to experiment with steel cut oats tonight to bring in for breakfast.
I’m gonna have to get back on weight watchers. Blech. I got down under goal a couple of months ago and now I’ve gained almost all of it back. I’m hoping that I can get this extra poundage off of me once I start chugging water and eating veggies again. We’ll see.
Tryin somethin…
We’ll see how this blogging thing works out. I’ve tried it before, but I always felt kinda restrained because people might read it *gasp*. But I know that I need to get stuff out and find a way to express myself. So I’ll use this place to vent, cry, whine, laugh, smile, amuse myself and just be. My goal is to post daily….a journal about my day and a journal of what I ate and my workouts. There will be more than that, though, because I am in front of a computer so much everyday, I know I’ll need a place to go when I get bored. Here goes nothing!
