Day 2

Breakfast

1c of coffee - with splenda and Sugar Free Vanilla Cream (2TBSP) Coffee Mate

Sugar Free items vs Non Fat - you will see that many items will be lower in Calories when sugar free than if it is low fat. So beware of what you are buying and compare it ALL.

 

I will NOT give up my coffee. WILL NOT!

Calories - 15

Yogurt - Blueberry flavored - Dannon Lite and Fit.

1/4c of fresh blueberries

  Calories - 120

Total Breakfast 135 calories

Remaining Calories - 865 to work with

Snack

100 calorie pack - mini striped fudge cookies

Zero Vitamin Water

If you don't have these in your home - MUST buy. These help with the sugar cravings and snacking. As a tip - always try to keep your snacks below 100 calories. If it is already portioned for you, so much easier for you. Less likely to cheat.

Remember it is mind over matter.

Don't forget the water or low/no calorie drinks.

 OH and if you have to ....well, pee, GO! Don't hold it. Pee is how you get rid of fat and toxins!! DO IT! And if you can, lots - that is why drinking a lot of water helps. You literally FLUSH it out! :-) I know, TMI?! But I swear it is true.

Total Snack 100 calories

Remaining Calories 765 to work with

Lunch

1/2 of a Lavish Bread (see previous posts about foods I like for more info)

2 slices of ham

2 slices of thin swiss

Lavish bread is 50 calories, ham is 30 a slice and the swiss was 80.

My mustard says 0 calories unlike the mustard listed on the subway site. Why, I don't know!

Pickles - if you like dill pickles - they can be you friend! They are ZERO in calories and you can snack on them ALL DAY LONG!

I WILL NOT LIE. I AM HUNGRY. BUT, did you know that I have already LOST 2LBS! So, this is what I am doing! Keeping up this work.

The picture doesn't do it justice but trust me YUMMM!

Total Dinner 396 calories

Remaining calories 109 to work with!

Maybe some ice cream? - I could not have another bite!



A REMINDER to Myself

Wait!!!! Why am I doing this?

This is why I am getting back to it! This is where I was and NEVER want to be. Though by no means am I in trouble with my weight - but also don't want to be there either. As a reminder, I put together this collage.

I am sharing the same before and most of you have seen the after pics too. But being together. In one spot. In front of me. Brings it to a whole new level.

Why I work so hard. I don't want to ever be "back there". I can't stand the thought of gaining back and loosing out on all that hard work. Let alone the whispers of - she lost all that weight. What a shame. Blah blah blah.

Love,

Lunch - July 29, 2012

July 29, 2012

Lunch

We went to Subway - which I am NOT a fan of - but if watching what you eat - it is the best best option while out and about.

6 in Black Forest Ham w/NO CHEESE -

pickles, onion, lettuce, banana peppers and mustard

 on the 9 Grain Honey Oat bread.

unsweet iced tea with on sweet and low

MISTAKE was that I had it on the Honey Oat and not the regular 9 Grain Wheat. Difference of 50! Calories. I could of had the White and would have been better off with the calories by 60!!

The reason why Subway is great - you can add and add as many veggies as you want on your sandwich. ALL without adding any calories or very very little.

Total Lunch Calories = 350

(290 if I had got the right bread plus 10 for the mustard - 300. Boo me for not paying attention).

Drink had no calories

Had 850 left - 350 for lunch = 500 for dinner, dessert and/or snack

Weight. WAIT! WHAT? Breakfast

WEIGHT WAIT!

OKAY - summer, vacations and all this fun! Thinking I am moving more equals I can eat more. NOPE!

I have put on about 25lbs since the beginning of the summer. Between Disney and everyday cravings for ice cream - correction frozen custard - I am killing it!

SOOO - since many ask what I ate while loosing weight - I am going to put it ALL right here for you to see. GULP. HA! Keeping myself accountable too! (I can do this).

I will include my cheats. Common sense should tell you what I am doing right and wrong. BUT I want to see (and for you) to see what I am doing and how I rebound - or NOT. Like the yummy Jitterbug Jackhammer with Hot Fudge from Andy's. GOOD GOLLY! You have to google that one or I will salivate more than I am on this 104 degree day!!

OK - Here we go! Comments and recommendations are always welcomed. I am always looking for better ways or recipes or anything to help with my diet.

Plus, share what you are doing and how it has helped you in your lifestyle!

 

July 29th - Breakfast

2c of coffee - with splenda and Sugar Free Vanilla Cream (2TBSP) Coffee Mate

Sugar Free items vs Non Fat - you will see that many items will be lower in Calories when sugar free than if it is low fat. So beware of what you are buying and compare it ALL.

Calories - 30

Yogurt - Blueberry flavored - Dannon Lite and Fit.

1/4c of fresh blueberries

I chose the Dannon, as the flavor is the best, in my opinion. But it also has the best calorie to portion that gets me full. I used to buy the big container and measure it out. You can do that or buy the individuals - they are perfect.

I mix the extra berries into the yogurt for extra yumm - though good with out. But Blueberries are good and good for you. Not to mention it helps fight so much. I am not going to mislead and quote - so if you don't know the benefits of blueberries on things like AGING - google. it.

Calories - approx 120

Total Breakfast 150 calories

Remaining Calories - 850 to work with

**diet for me is 1,000 calories based on my activity level per my DOCTOR. There are sites that help you determine this - see previous posts for more info - BEST YET CALL YOUR DOCTOR and find out what is best for you.

***per previous posts - I have been off all and any meds since February of this year (2012).

Love and XOXO,

Kerryanne
