Day 19

I knew munching last night would leave a mark, and it did. I weighed in at 210.4 lbs. this morning.

For breakfast I had a bottle of chocolate milk and a cherry danish.

Throughout the rest of the day I consumed 4 more danishes (for shame!), and a Sunkist, a lunchable, some goldfish crackers, and some iced tea, and 2 small fish filets. It's the first day to myself I've had in six weeks so I decided to take a break and just eat whatever I wanted...

Day 18

Well, no setbacks today. 209.8 pounds. That's a loss of 8.5 pounds in 18 days. Not bad.

For breakfast: two mini chicken biscuits and iced coffee

At work: about one fourth of a bottle of water.

Lunch: Coke and Mexican rice

Snack: three terriyaki chicken nuggets, and two or three bite size chocolate bars.

Walked to my friend's house.

Dinner: grilled cheese and coke.

I drink a lot of coke...probably should stop.

After supper I drank the rest of my Dr. Pepper from yesterday, and I ate a lemon biscotti and a handful of goldfish.

Day 17

210.9 today. Bit of a relapse. Happens when I eat candy. But I had a small handful of candy corn today anyway. I also had an apple, a small handful of pretzels, a glass of iced tea, a bowl of chicken and dumpling with carrots, two glasses of soda, and some terriyaki chicken nuggets. And about half a 1 liter bottle of Dr. Pepper.
I need to crack down hard again.

Day 16

210.3 lbs. this morning. Official 8 pound loss!

For breakfast I had the same as yesterday.

For lunch I had a lunchable and a rootbeer.

After work I had a handful of candy corn.

For supper I had KFC.

After dinner I had a small handful of Swedish Fish.

Day 15

Ah yes. 210.4 lbs. this morning. Even lighter. I am happy.
For breakfast I had iced coffee and chicken biscuits again.
I had a coke after breakfast.
For lunch I had a quesadilla and slushy.
I had a bit of a workout teaching swim lessons. Not much but something.
After lessons I had half a homemade donut.
For supper we had burritos with Mexican rice and Coke.
After supper, I had a bottled water, and a single saltine cracker, and a glass of Arizona honey and ginseng green tea.

Day 14

211.0 lb. this morning.
Chicken biscuits and iced coffee for breakfast.
I was feeling dizzy so I got chicken nuggets at work to go with my cereal. I had rootbeer with my lunch as well. I refrained from eating the biscotti I packed to go with my cereal originally, though.
I didn't get much of a workout but I probably sweated out a bit of weight at work. Gross, I know.
For supper we had chicken, broccoli, and mashed potatoes, with rolls and cola.
After supper I was really hungry so I decided to have a banana but only ate half of it because it was overripe. Then I broke down and ate that biscotti with iced tea. But I guess, it's okay to splurge once in awhile.

Day 13

SEVEN POUNDS GUYS I'VE LOST SEVEN POUNDS IN 13 DAYS. Today the scale read 211.3.

For breakfast I had iced coffee and the last set of my sausage biscuit sandwiches.

I painted my room some. It wasn't much of a workout but it required a bit of stretching.

For lunch, a little bit of eggnog, some goldfish, and tomato soup, and some apple juice.

To celebrate losing five pounds, I went shopping and bought a new skirt.

For supper, I had Taco Bell. After supper I had a cookie and glass of milk.

Day 12

More progress! 213.6! It isn't much but it's something.

For breakfast I had the same as yesterday. At work I had a full workout. Between hauling stuff and climbing shelves like a monkey, and then being on fries...lifting, spinning, running, etc.

And for lunch I had a lunchable.

After work I had a rootbeer and a lemon biscotti. Then an hour or so later I had the last two jumbo marshmallows.

We had soup and biscuits again for supper, but it was beef soup instead of chicken like the last two nights. I had iced coffee and another biscotti after dinner.

It is late and I am so hungry right now...And I've noticed I actually have views on these posts so if someone knows anything about purses, I am looking for one that is as far as I can figure a cross between a hobo bag and a messenger bag. 

Day 11

I reached 213.7 again. I never thought I'd be happy to see that number on the scale but I am. I got too fat and now I am reaching for health and it is progress, so I am glad.

For breakfast I had iced coffee and my two sausage biscuits. That box is really lasting a long time...

For lunch, I had a fish sandwich, fries, and a soda. Bad. I know. I forgot to pack my lunch and had to eat at work and was in a hurry before customers came and wanted me to take their order off the clock so I just ordered the first thing I came up with. And just in time too because I had no sooner swiped my card than a customer showed up. I also did some heavy lifting at work.

For supper I had the same as last night and a small handful of Jelly Beans after dinner because my sister shared with me. And also between work and supper I had a bite size chocolate bar and four maple candies...I have a bad feeling about tomorrow's number on the scale but I will pray and hope it is at least the same, if not lower.

Day 10

214.8 pounds. Should probably get rid of that candy.
For breakfast I had two mini sausage biscuit sandwiches and a few sips of mountain dew.
At work I had some hi-c.
For lunch I had cereal, bacon, and a lemon biscotti with a Capri sun.
At home I had the rest of the candy (at least it's home?) and a jumbo marshmallow.
For supper we had chicken soup and biscuits. I had coca cola with mine.

Day 9

This morning I was 214.3 pounds. I guess that splurge last night left a mark.

For breakfast I had my two mini sausage biscuit sandwiches as usual.
Then I had rootbeer at work and then for lunch I had a lunchable and later more rootbeer. During work I did some heavy lifting. And after work I had a low-fat iced cream cone and some sour patch fruit.

For dinner we had pot roast with vegetables and garlic bread. I did not eat all my meat or vegetables but I had two slices of garlic bread. They were small, and I was craving bread.

After dinner I had a few pieces of candy. I hope they do not leave a mark as the candy and eggnog did last night.

Day 8

I forgot to weigh myself before I ate this morning. But afterwards I weighed 213.7. I think it is safe to say that, quite literally, this sickness is taking the stuffing out of me.
I ate two sausage sandwiches on biscuits. We were all out of cheese so I didn't get any.
And for lunch I had a lunchable with mountain dew.
I had swim lessons to teach today which is a bit of a workout and when my last class didn't show I had a small actual workout for myself.
And I had a jumbo marshmallow, a lemon biscotti, and eggnog for a snack.
Then for dinner we had tacos with rice and corn on the cob.
For a snack after dinner I had a lemon biscotti again, and water and a handful of gummy fruit. And then some eggnog and another handful.

Day 7

It has been exactly one week since I have been cataloging my food consumption and exercise. And I have lost exactly three pounds. I reached 215.3 pounds. When I reach 213.3, I will buy myself a new garment. That is my plan: to renew my wardrobe piece by piece every five pounds I lose. I realize once I reach my goal I will not be able to wear the things I first got, but if I really like them I will take them in. If not I will donate them and at least I will have more clothes that fit me in the meantime.

I am sick today so instead of listing meals I shall just list the things I ate. It is not a flu, nor a cold; it is a few different, random but probably connected, ailments that I am suffering from, so it is not exactly a list that one would expect from a sick person.

Chocolate covered blueberries
A small serving of fried rice
A 1 liter bottle of Sunkist
A pumpkin cinnamon roll
A glass of milk
A lunchable
Apple juice
Iced green tea
A chicken sandwich.

Day 6

I was in a hotel again so last night's splurge did not leave a mark I can see. For breakfast I had iced coffee and another sausage and cheese mcgriddle sandwich. For second breakfast (I've been sent away to work out of state and they send us on break really early here) I had pancakes and a hashbrown. I've been dreadfully splurge happy this weekend...

For lunch I had Taco Bell after craving it for many days. It was so delicious. On the road home I had iced tea and a small handful of goldfish. We also stopped and took a short walk on a small trail across a bridge.

For supper I had beef stew and a biscuit, and I ate chocolate covered blueberries later. Also I hauled my heavy luggage up two flights of stairs in one trip.

Day 5

I was in a hotel so I did not have access to a scale. For breakfast I had chocolate covered blueberries, half a sausage and cheese biscuit (a full size one not my usual mini ones) and iced coffee.
For "lunch" I ate sausage and cheese on a pancake bread thing and had *shocker* rootbeer. For a snack I had chocolate pudding.
For dinner I had fish and chips and then after dinner my friend and I had eggnog and nachos and kitkat bars while we watched Brave.
We did visit the pool and I kinda half swam the length of it a few times. Mostly chased rubber balls and hid from my friend who was throwing them back at me...but it was a tiny workout and better than nothing.

Day 4

Finally I had a healthy drink with my sausage and cheese biscuits today. I had green tea. I forgot to weigh myself before I ate but after breakfast I was 216.3 pounds.
I had water at work. I didn't do heavy lifting worth mentioning. I was bad though and ate a fried chicken sandwich, fries, and a shake. I packed food but I was so cold...and I am not often cold. So I got got food at work.
Then I had to ride five hours somewhere and the only fast food place we found was Dunkin Donuts so I had a flatbread sandwich and a donut with a eootbeer.

Day 3

Weighed 216.2 pounds.
Ate sausage and cheese biscuit sandwiches again, but no apple
Had rootbeer at work.
Did some heavy lifting at work.
Had meatloaf and fried rice and a cookie when I got home.
Had cocoa with whipped cream and a jumbo marshmallow after.
Too tired for meat on the bones of this entry.

Day 2

Well, the scale was a little nicer today. It said 216.6 pounds. Thing is, as bad as I said yesterday was, because it looked back written down, it was actually a lot better than my usual habits. So weighing less today doesn't surprise me at all. I know I can't expect results like that every time I do better than usual but it is still encouraging.

For breakfast I ate an apple, and again two of the mini sausage and cheese biscuit sandwiches. I did drink a rootbeer with it but that was only because my iced coffee had gone completely sour and I needed caffeine to wake up for work.

At work I did a little bit of heavy lifting. I had rootbeer again there though. The water makes me sick there so I can't drink it, and rootbeer somehow just makes me feel better. It makes me happy. And at work I always need something to lift my spirits because...well I work in fast food. In the drive thru. Although...this weekend I have been told I get to spend in the kitchen and I am super excited because I actually really love working in the kitchen.

For lunch I ate a lunchable. That was all. And when I got home I had a two bites of cookies that I broke off giant cookies, and I ate a two-bite-sized piece of coffee cake our neighbor sent over. For dinner we had leftover Italian food so I ate that. After dinner I had an iced coffee and that was it.

Day 1

Today I did not do incredibly well. I weighed in at 218.3 pounds. For breakfast I ate two mini sausage and cheese biscuit sandwiches and drank white grape juice. I had no snacks til lunch but for lunch Dad got KFC. And I ate it. I did a little bit of pool exercise while I was teaching my swim lessons this afternoon. But then I ate the toblerone bar my boss gave me with a glass of soda. And for dinner we had stir fry with fried rice; then I had a biscuit and coke for a snack after supper. And then I had a jumbo marshmallow with a rootbeer. Not. A. Good. Day.
