Worked Out...

for 45 minutes today at the gym. I shall be joining the one close to home this week. Get ready for a skinnier Maggie bitches!

I have changed.

Days like this I realize how my eating habits have changed. I'm about to go to bed & I've realized that I've only eaten one meal today. This morning I wasn't hungry when we left, so I just had a cup of coffee. Then after the photo shoot I was starving so Justin & I went to Flat Top. I made two bowls of veggie stir fry & some fake chicken. Dinner time rolled around and I wasn't hungry, I was still stuffed. The old Maggie would of ate because "it's breakfast time" or "it's dinner time" even if I wasn't hungry. I'm kinda proud of this. Anyone who is overweight knows what it feels like to never really feel full. You have to learn how to recognize when you're body is fully, especially when you just overeat all the time. Learning to only eat when you're hungry is new to me.

Relapse!

Ugh, I was really sick this weekend which I used as an excuse to eat really crappy food. I didn't exercise either.

I'm finally starting to feel better, but I still ate garbage... then I get really down on myself. I need to go grocery shopping. I need to start exercising. Why don't I just do it?

Thanks Sandi!

fitday.com is awesome... easy to track everything & it's nice to see how much nutritional value I get out of my food.  I don't really eat very much meat, maybe once every 2 weeks or so & mostly in the form of fish, so it was really nice to see that I actually do get a good amount of protein in my diet.  I also noticed how many carbs I eat!  Everything I eat has such a high carb count.  Even though I probably eat more veggies & fruit than the average American, I still feel like I don't eat enough of them!  Here's today's chart, click to make it larger.

For lunch I made a yummy wrap with tofurky slices w/ cheese & jam- gross?  no, tasty.  Then roasted brussel sprouts for dinner w/ a baked potato (w/ a little Agave Nectar on it & cinnamon) and Boca Meat sloppy joes.

Good Day.

1 Banana, 2 WW points
2 Clementines, 1 WW point

1 Low Fat/Calorie frozen lunch- Spinach, 7 WW points

1 mini bag of 100 Calorie popcorn- 3 WW points?

Panera for dinner, you pick two Low Fat black bean soup & Greek Salad- 10 WW points

That brought me to, 23 points & then I finished up with one of those no pudge pumpkin brownies... not bad.

Not Bad.

Bad weekend, but back on track today.

pb&j sandwich for breakfast w/ hunger filler bread, the "better than pb" peanut butter & sugar free jelly

black bean burger for lunch w/ a clementine

coffee w/ splenda

rockin' tuna casserole made with tofu "noodles" for dinner from Hungry Girl
No Pudge brownies w/ pumpkin puree in them

I'm not even weighing myself until the weekend.

Happy Thanksgiving!

This year I think I ate the least amount of food I've ever eaten on Thanksgiving. I didn't even really plan to. I kind of wanted to give myself a free day, but once you've lost a significant amount of weight & do not eat as much food as you used to, your stomach kind of tells you when to stop. I ate my normal weight watchers bagel w/ weight watchers cream cheese for breakfast & I even got in some cardio this morning. I filled my plate once & didn't even manage to finish the 1 plate... I think Justin even ate less than I did. When it came down to dessert I must of put 3 slices of deliciousness on my plate & ended up only having a few bites of each of them. I do not feel overly full right now, I feel very content. I didn't eat dinner, just thanksgiving lunch. I know I ate WAY more than my points allowed, but it is thanksgiving & if you don't allow yourself a little here and there, you will end up caving on something far worse. I'm proud of myself for exercising this morning, I'm sure that will help my metabolism to break down all the calories I scarfed down & I am also proud that I didn't bring any leftovers home. Trust me, I would of loved to eat a giant plate of stuffing for breakfast.

Tomorrow I am back on track.
