Today, today!

So, for breakfast I had half a bagel with some blackberry jam and an apple.

Later for a snack I had a handful of cinnamon shredded wheat.

Then I had classes for about 5 hours straight and was starving, because then afterwards I went to target, and then afterwards Cody, Molly, and I made a stir fry. It was good, and we used brown rice, Oh! ANd I also had 2 egg rolls as well.

After dinner, we were thinking ice cream...so YES!! I bought a Ben and Jerry's. But don't worry! I didn't eat it all-I only had one serving...and later into the night I really wanted to get it out of the freezer and eat it. But I didn't! But I'm thinking I should not had the ice cream around in the first place...so now that I'm thinking clearly, what am I supposed to do with it?!? I dunno. But right now it's out of sight, out of mind.

I worked out twice yesturday. I did not work out today. But I have dance tomorrow so that's something, and maybe I'll work out later. Molly wants to go work out on friday!! So I'm definitely going to work out with her!! (She worked out with me yesturday) PLUS!!! Friday is also the start of "tap club". And let me tell you: tapping is one heck of a workout if you do it right!! So I'll be very physically active on friday too! YAY!! That will give me my goal of working out 3 times this week not including dance class. Saturday I have Arts Bash, but perhaps I could even get a workout in then. Sunday I have auditions, but not all day long-So maybe if they go well and I'm excited afterwards I can blow off some audreneline running.

Alrighty!! Talk to you soon Blogger!

A Delicious Cup of Soup

Yummmm. Right now, I am eating a delicious cup of soup.

I worked early today, so this glorious, hot, flavorful, cup of instant soup from Lipton is my first meal of the day. Literally, it is so good!!

And I did work out this weekend! So I met that goal! But unfortunately, I did eat unhealthy food this weekend: ice cream and chocolate fudge! Then last night I watched the illusionist and snacked on m&m's and this yummy caramel popcorn sorta stuff.

However-I did not drink any soda at all. I usually don't ever drink soda, but I'm trying to make sure I never drink it. It is bad.

Right now I'm a little tired. I have classes and guitar lessons still. I want to work out today, not quite sure when I can squeeze it in. But we'll see.

Ciao!

Back to Normalcy...

So, now that I'm done being sick. I am back to eating food. YAY!!!! Today I had

Half a Bagel with Peanut butter and an apple. (And ya know what: I didn't feel like I had to finish it all!! YAY! Very exciting for me. I had probably about two bites left of my bagel and was like hmm ya know, I'm done!

Then I had a banana. For a snack before theory at 12(I love bananas soooo much!! they are so yummy!!

At 3:00 I had a small (I mean really small!) cup of lentil soup. It was equally yum yum yummy!!!

Around 5:30/6ish I had a can of veggie juice, a handful of carrots and a slice of pizza. (smaller than my hand). And I only had one slice because that's all that was there. :) But I forgot when I ate it that it was my enemy!!

I also had dance class today-worked up quite a sweat.

Good Things: Ate small portions, I'm under 140. Now I need to work on being under 135. (A little at a time baby!!) I ate very healthy! I drank lots of water.

Bad Things: I tend to eat a lot later in the day. So I need to be more aware of that. I didn't get to exercise much this week, because of how the lovely week started with me being sick and I didn't want to exhaust myself by doing too much.

My goals for exercising is to exercise once while I'm at home this weekend (friday night or sat. morning). So that I can put 2 stickers on for this week. And next week I want to exercise 3 time, dance classes NOT included. I know 3 times doesn't seem like much, but I want to build from there. If I can do 3x a week not including dance class for 4 weeks straight, then I will buy myself a new top or something I want that is not food, haha.

Well I am done eating for today, so I better stick to that. I'm sure I can do it!

ciao!

sick

So, right after I wrote that lovely blog I had some cereal with a banana. However, it didn't stay down for long. Later that day I barfed it up, then barfed again and again and again and again. Yeah, so I definitly had a 24 flu or something. I feel somewhat better today. I am still kind of afraid to eat anything. But i've had some chicken broth and sprite and water.

Hopefully I'll be fully recovered by tomorow. Oh, so obivously I didn't work out yesterday, we'll see about today. I'm still feeling pretty weak, and I have dance today-so hopefully it won't be too intense.

back at school

So here I am.

Yesturday I ate well, accept!! I lost a huge battle! Breakfast were correctly proportioned and healthy, but my roomate got pizza for her friend and me because we helped move her stuff in. I put pizza on my enemy list because I can't eat just one piece. I ended up eating four slices (it was a medium pizza so the slices were smaller) and through it all I kept rationalizing about it, (like stating that the slices were smaller than a large pizza). Not matter what, just have a hard time saying no to food when it kind of involves people, because I don't want to hurt their feelings by rejecting it, and I don't want to sound like a vain freak and say "oh I can't have pizza." I know this sounds weird, but I'm dead serious.

So maybe I can learn to say instead of "I am forbidden to have pizza" I could just lie and say "Oh, no thanks, I don't really feel like pizza." Then they will not buy as much pizza. And then while they're eating it in my face I can battle internally.

I will not die if I don't eat pizza. In fact, it will probably make me feel better if I avoid it.

I had work early today, and I felt rather sick before hand, so all I had were graham crackers. My stomach is feeling a little better and I think I might chance eating a grape fruit and some cereal.

I am exercising today. I'm hoping my roomie will go with me. But either way I'm going! Yay! I'm excited to put a sticker on my lovely exercising chart!

Things So far

Things are going pretty well. I go back to school tomorrow, so I am very excited about that. Last night I made workout charts for my roomate and me for the semester. She seems to be interested in working out and eating healthier too, so maybe this will be a little easier than I thought.

I admit, my friend brought back some candy from her trip to Florida for me, and as you have already found out I feel really bad about turning down gifts. I am thinking of adding chocolate to my enemie list, I hadn't realized that I didn't.

Today I have had a bowl of total with a banana for breakfast and a small baked potato with some chopped green peppers and colby jack cheese and some ranch dressing and then a handful of raisins.

I love food, so this s a hard process, but I guess it's also a good thing because I also enjoy healthy foods. The main things I need to work on is continue to stay to a normal meal schedule, to not eat after 7:30, don't over eat, and consistantly workout.

Hopefully having a fitness chart will help me keep up with my regularity of exercising. I think I am having a much better attitude now than I was at the beginning of all this, and that will make all the difference. I can do this!! I am excited to do this!! I am doing this!!

The Diet War! Rescue the skinny me!!

So today on Tyra Banks talk show, (I'm on break and was waiting for the numbness in my cheek to wear off), she had guests that were trying to lose weight. She talked about it like it was a diet war, and every time you wanted to eat something you know you shouldn't and didn't it's like winning a battle.

So today I made a list of my enemies who I must avoid. I know that some people don't believe in restricting food, but for me, there are some foods that I know I will eat too much of if I eat them:

cookies
donuts
cake
ice cream
any sweet coffee drink
french fries
hash browns
bacon
syrup
and dare I say it:
pizza! (this one becaus I can't just have 1 slice ya know!!)

I might add more to the list but that's all for now! So anytime I see those foods, I have to think that they are my enemies and want to make me fat. (I know it sounds goofy!)

I need to rescue the skinny me from the chunky me!

So, I think exercising will be part of the training for the war, to help me fight the battles. I also found a pretty good list of healthy food to eat, so these foods will be my allies, BUT! like any ally, you cannot rely on them all of the time (meaning over eating), you have to rely on your own slef discipline.

Don't worry skinny me! I'm coming!!!
