another day

Interesting day. I feel like I've eaten better. I had eggs with veggies and cheese around 10 for brunch, then some pistachios. I had the chicken thing I made for girls day, with snap peas instead of broccoli - I liked it better, for supper. I did have some whole-wheat spaghetti but not a lot. I figured since I already screwed up Phase I with pizza the other night a little more wouldn't hurt me.

I have been eating SF candy today still, but not as much as usual. who knows. I don't really have the carb cravings like I have in the past. Maybe that's a good thing. But I do need to up the salad intake. I haven't been eating as much lately. I need to go to OG and get some dressing. I do have chicken and tomatoes so that's a good thing at least.

another bad day

Yesterday was bad. Well, actually all my breakfasts this week have been awful: String cheese and Sf candy. Pathetic. Anyway, my lunch date canceled yesterday so instead of having lunch and then taking the afternoon off, I ended up working through lunch and not leaving until 4:30. So another lunch of string cheese and SF candy. When I got home I ate the leftover pizza from Thursday and pistachios. I will say the pizza tasted damn good and I think the carbs were good for me since I hadn't had anything all day.

Hopefully today will be better. One bonus...I weighed this morning and I'm down to 157. :)

Am I in trouble?

I ate carbs for the first time in almost 2 weeks. I still have 3 days left on this non-carbs thing, but mom came over tonight so I threw in a Kashi pizza. It was yummy, but I felt a little guilty after eating it and I've had tons of energy - sugar rush maybe? hmmm... I don't know. Kashi is pretty healthy at least.

Making headway?

I haven't been writing about my food lately...mostly because it's been awful. I had a chai tea latte on Monday, but I don't think that messed with me too much. What has messed me up is SF Red Vines and SF chocolate. I've been living on those, string cheese and pistachios. I finally forced myself Tuesday night to bake chicken, and I put salsa and cheese on it - which i know is a no-no on Phase I since salsa has sugar - but I figured I needed something and most of the sugar should have baked off. The chicken tasted really good so i was glad I did that. Plus I got to eat it yesterday for lunch and I'll do that again today. I had eggs with cheese, peppers, tomato, and olives last night for supper. That was yummy too until i started eating pistachios again. sheesh.

But it's not going too bad. I'm over the hump of needing/wanting/craving carbs - I'd still like them but it's not as prominent as it was last week. And I'm down to 159 - so that's 5 pounds down. Next week is supposed to be warmer so I'll be back running again. Which is good since I have 60 days until the Brookings Marathon. It's do or die time now. I have to really push training the next few weeks. 60 days to prep for a marathon is insane but maybe I can still do it. If not, maybe i'll just go up and pick up my t-shirt and go. :) hahaha. No... I'd like to run it if I can but I'm really going to have to bust my butt the next few weeks both with strength training and cardio. Two-a-days may be a necessity. (If not three...depending on schedules and such).

So there we go. Let's see how I can do.

Weekend of SF

I spent most of the weekend eating SF candy, pistachios and string cheese. I did have salad and meat at both lunch Saturday and Sunday. But the rest of my meals were awful. Ugh.
I have to weigh in the morning. i'm more than a little nervous.

Not sure about this

Today was an interesting day. I did get breakfast because of the Prayer Breakfast - so I had lots of eggs and real bacon (whoops). I did eat a lot of SF candy but I think I'm going to have to expect that I will do that because I just do. "No popcorn, eat cheese!"

Anyway, for lunch I had salad and chicken. It wasn't bad. The guys I ate lunch with all had cake in front of me though...grrr. And tonight I went out to supper with Lisa and Emmy and I had the salad bar and chicken. It was yummy and I got to bring half of it home for tomorrow.

I need to buy some more pistachios though. Those are my favorite. I can't wait until Tuesday when I can weigh in again. I did on Monday and was 164 or 165. Friday I was 161. I can't weigh this Monday because I'll be in the cities but Tuesday I can. YAY! As long as this keeps working I'm okay with sticking with it.
