This is going to be boring, but it's helpful (to me), so I'm going to keep posting what I've been eating.
So, yesterday's food diary continued:
1 cup applesauce (100 cals)
a few bites of tofu salad (mostly the tofu) (150 cals?)
2 pints hefeweizen (416 cals) [damn, I had no idea it had that many calories till I checked just now... I see why they call it a "beer belly"!]
Yesterday's TOTAL = 1,616 calories
Workout = none, unless 20 minutes of laughing until I cried counts. I've been throwing out all the boring people in my kitchen and it actually seems to be helping quite a bit. ;)
Today's food diary:
3 slices wheat toast (330 cals)
4 free range eggs (280 cals)
2 pats butter (100 cals)
1 packet oatmeal (160 cals)
coffee w/ 2 sugars + nondairy creamer (70 cals)
TOTAL= 940 cals
Okay, today I am really, seriously going to stick to under 1500 calories -- no sudden hefeweizen happy hours -- I will have red wine only. (Too bad the pub we always go to after work has 10,000 different delicious beers but only the vilest wine imaginable. Oh well, I will be strong -- it's a small price to pay for a thin, toned bod!)
I'll update later. Still haven't weighed myself yet -- I don't know whether to be apprehensive or excited! I've definitely been eating less, but now I need to start working out for real again... I miss being strong & fit & lean & toned! Tomorrow: rock climbing gym??
Haven't weighed myself in a few days, but I think for the most part I've been making progress. Tomorrow is weigh-in day, so we'll see. I think I'm going to start posting my food diary up here, because writing down what I eat always seems to help me lose, and I'm sure it'll be even more effective if everyone else can read it!
Today's intake:
Coffee w/ milk + sugar (85 cals)
4 free-range eggs (280 cals)
2 slices wheat toast (220 cals)
small pat of butter (45 cals)
crackers (12?) (320 cals)
TOTAL = 950 cals
I'll update later, in case I eat anything else, which I probably will. But I'll keep it light. My goal is to stick to 1200 calories a day. Wish me luck! :)
