Day 7

I was up .8! Dang, does not working out one day really mess me up that bad?
So I was down every day, but in the past two days I am up 1.4! Tomorrow will be the end of the first week. Hopefully I can be very good today and be down a bit again. (I need to reach the goal of 2 pounds per week!)
A part of me thinks - 'Ok, I did have two bottles of water before bed, one at 9 and one at 10'. But I still wished it was lower. I want it to be a SOLID weight, if that makes since. Not up and down, up and down. I want to get lower and just keep on going.
Last night there was a huge storm. Thunder, lightning, pouring rain. I swear it lasted FOREVER. We went to bed at midnight, but it had already been storming for at least an hour. Then ALL NIGHT LONG, I swear, it just kept on going. We have two windows right above our bed and that rain was POUNDING. And the thunder seemed to stay right over us for an hour. It was sooo loud. Haha, it was a little funny because earlier in the day I was telling Jon that we needed another Texas thunderstorm (there was one when we first moved here, but it was nothing like that!) I guess someone heard me because I got what I wanted (I wish my body would do that too :))
It's about 8:30, I haven't had breakfast yet. I am staying home from church because of the pink eye. I feel like I could go (and I actually want to go!) but I don't want to spread it, and it can be spread easily. Oh well. I know it's Sunday, but I think I will work out or maybe Jon and I will go for a nice walk, depending on how warm it is (I can just imagine the humidity after last night's rain!)
Breakfast:
Honey Nut Cheerios and skim milk: 250 calories
Yogurt: 100 calories
Total: 350 calories

Fruit Snack: 80 calories

Lunch:
Pineapple: 50
Leftover mashed potatoes: 300
Chicken: 50 calories (or less - I wasn't feeling it)
Total: 400 calories

Dinner:
White Rice with butter: 250
finished the chicken from lunch: 50 calories
Grapes: 50 calories
Total: 350 calories
total so far: 1130 calories

And then Jon made brownies tonight. Did you know that one package of brownies prepared makes 20 servings? Jon baked them in a 8x8 pan, so they were thicker. And did you know that there is 170 calories in each of those 20 servings? Well, I cut them the pan into 16 pieces. And they aren't very big! BUT, I contained myself and only had ONE :) So that's about 200 calories a piece. Dang, that adds up so fast. And honestly, I usually cut them into pieces twice that size.
Dessert: 200 calories

Total: 1330 total (1500)

I am going to round up to 1500. I feel like I ate something that I don't remember. I am racking my brain and I can't think of what it was.

I need to eat more veggies. I just don't really like them. I want salads, but with a yummy marinated chicken, etc. And I do love zucchini and squash. I just need to prepare them before they go bad, I think that's my biggest problem (and a waste of money).

I went to WalMart again for bananas, and they had a ton of brown spots on ALL of them. Blah. I will try HEB (the other store here) this upcoming week.

Oh, and I did do weights for 20 minutes today. My arms were starting to shake! So I did SOMEthing

  3. So I was just testing stuff out....this morning I weighed 134, and then after dinner and dessert I weighed myself again and I was 140! Obviously I didn't gain 6 lbs in a day, so I wasn't worried about it. Don't get too hung up on the scale, just keep doing your best!!
