Monday March 21st 2016
Well. Here we are again.
Due to blowing out my ITB I haven't run in months, and thus, the weight has just piled back on. I ride the bike, but it doesn't work the same for weight loss that running does. Plus, I've been eating junk, so that doesn't help.
Sigh. I can't believe I'm almost (BUT NOT QUITE!!!!!!) back where I started.
So here we go. Back on the train again. Let's see if I'm as successful this second time around. Something tells me I won't be as I won't be able to run several miles each day.
So. We begin.
Breakfast
Chocolate peanut butter smoothie 275 cal
Banana - 105 cal
Cocoa - 20 cal
Tbsp peanut butter (I can't find the Jif PB powder here in Canada so I have to use the real thing. Way more calories. - 90 cal
Almond/coconut milk blend - 60 cal
Lunch
Veggie cheese sandwich with celery 190 cal
2 slices little big bread - 110 cal
1 kiri - 50 cal
1/2 tomato - 18 cal
1/8 cucumber - 6 cal
salt
2 slices jalapeño - 1 cal
1 stick celery - 6 cal
Dinner
Egg over rice with salad 251 cal
1/2 cup sushi rice - 106 cal
sushi vinegar and soy sauce - 10 cal
1 egg over easy - 70 cal
1 tsp oil - 41 cal
salad (1/6 head romaine, 1/4 tomato, 1/8 English cucumber, 2 slices jalapeño, 1 tsp sushi vinegar) - 23 cal
Snacks 368 cal
rice cake 35 cal
1/2 oz red Leicester cheese - 50 cal
Hot chocolate 120 cal
Caro with 2% milk (hilariously, the 11 year old thinks 2% is a treat and tastes like cream; he gets really excited about it. =D) 32 cal
Chamomile tea - 0 cal
1 cup 2% milk - 130 cals
Total: 1083 calories
This is too few. That's good to know, as I was quite hungry from about 3-5pm. It's good to know I have enough wiggle room to have a snack then. I kept myself going with a rice cake and some caro.
Assessment of the day:
Fruit/veggie: 3/5. I should definitely be eating more veggies. I was going to have an orange tonight but I'm too full. I'll have some kind of fruit or veggie tomorrow afternoon and see if that helps.
Dairy: About 2/3. Not bad. Could do better.
Protein: 2/3
Grain:4/5
It's a good start. Let's see what tomorrow brings....and if I'm able to lay off the chocolates...

Lifetime!
I made Lifetime at WW last Thursday. My goal was 127lbs and last Thursday I weighed in at 122.8lbs. Bless their little hearts, they altered my goal to be 123lbs and let me have lifetime. =) I was all prepared to adjust my goal and go through another 6 weeks of maintenance.
My Lifetime materials arrived in the mail yesterday. That was quick. =)
So I guess all I need to do now is:
1. Continue eating healthily most of the time
2. Keep on running
What a difficult journey this was - but it's led me to a stronger place and I'm so glad I started down this road.

Check-in.
Haven't updated this blog in ages.
Reached my WW goal a couple of weeks ago and am currently considering lowering it as I continue to lose weight because of running.
Haven't weighed in yet this week - that's tomorrow - but if I'm not about 123 (my goal was 127) I'll be surprised. It's been a hard week and while I haven't been eating well, I have been running a lot. I'll do nutritionally better next week and will hopefully stabilize.

What I ate
Sunday January 3rd 2009
Wooooeeee were the holidays difficult! =) However I'm back on the wagon and that's good. Furthermore I ran ever such a lot throughout November and December and I'm hoping that helped keep a lot of the extra weight off.
Not sure what I weigh right now as I haven't weighed in for two weeks (They were closed Christmas Eve, and I chose not to weigh in New Year's Eve). This Thursday will be an interesting day for sure.
Today was Fast Sunday so it is rather an odd day for food and drink.
Whole Wheat spaghetti - set point 5
1/2 cup bolognaise sauce - 3
2 cups orange juice - 4 points
2 cups chocolate milk - 5 points
I'll probably have a salad tonight.
