I have lost 5 pounds in 2 weeks. Not that great, but it's finally coming off.

This morning for breakfast I had a pack of cheddar crackers with peanut butter filling.

For lunch, I had another pack of crackers with some tea and water

I have been drinking sips of tea thoughout the day.

For supper, I made a corn chowder with onions, green onions, turkey bacon and shrimp. it was delicious, but I think I ate more than I should have.

I couldnt make it outside today to exercise because the wind today is so fierce, that it was tryin to blow the car off the road. We also had a death in the family this morning. Cayce lost his grandfather to brain cancer this morning.
        

Food Journals

I haven't been logging my meals. I also haven't been eating alot because I have been feeling sick. I started my monthly yesterday and I am feeling worse than ever. I have been walking some and doing more housework than usual.

I am going to get up early tomorrow morning with Cayce and work out at least an hour. He has been doing good in his GED classes.

I have eaten a Lean Cuisine pizza today and a small slice of white cake.

Tonight for supper I am going to open two cans of Chunky's sirloin steak soup over some rice. I'm hoping I'll have a appetite.

Food Journal: Day 4

I knew today was going to be a bad day. Cayce kept the air off all day and it was very nice outside. I ate 3 times today.

I had the rest of my mac and cheese this morning for breakfast and the rest of my hot chocolate I made last night after my blog post.. oops.

It started getting warmer in the house and I started drinking alot of water.

Around 3:00, I made tuna fish sandwiches on honey wheat bread and duke's light mayonnaise.

I continued to drink water and started have little panic attacks because I was so hot.

Around 6:00, Cayce and I started cooking dinner. I made a crunchy onion potato bake and Cayce and Bud grilled hamburgers.

I feel so shaky and tired. I'm going to go to bed early tonight.

Really not happy about my food intake today.

Food Journal: Day 3

I haven't eaten much today. When Cayce left for work this morning, I made me a hot chocolate with two scoops sugar and probably 2 tablespoons white chocolate caramel latte creamer.

For the girl's lunch, I made them salads, and I had some ham and turkey that I had cut up and put into the salad, not enough to make me full or to make a snack. I still had my vitamin water from yesterday and I finished drinking that today.

For a snack around 3:00pm, I ate 4 to 5 grapes, and I drank my vitamin water.

At 6:00pm, I made a box of macaroni and cheese. I put 1 and a half spoonfuls in my little black bowl, and Cayce grilled hotdogs and I had two hotdogs with 1 tbsp. ketchup.

Now I am drinking a seagram's escapes strawberry daiquiri, and it will be one bottle of water for the rest of the night.

I wieghed myself this morning, and I weighed 267.4

Food Journal: Day 2

This morning we woke up around 5:30. I had some diet pepsi and went straight back to bed.

After Cayce got back home from the vet, we slept until 10:45. I made us protein shakes with some strawberries.

At 12:30, I did 30 minutes of zumba.

At 1:30, I had 2 lean cuisine garlic chicken spring rolls and a pack of Ritz whole wheat crackers (to go pack) and the rest of my diet pepsi.

When Cayce got back home with Widow, he brought me a dragonfruit vitamin water.

At 5:00, I made a family stouffer's meal. It was chicken alfredo. I had one bowl. At 7:00, I took 5 more bites, and drank more vitamin water.

9:55pm, I'm drinking my vitamin water and regular water.

Little Exercising

I haven't been exercising like I wanted too, but I am watching what I eat. I didn't write my food intake down yesterday, but I know what I have eaten today.

This morning, I ate leftovers of a chicken broccoli pasta bake. I had a cup of hot chocolate.
For lunch, I made a TBLT( turkey, turkey bacon, lettuce and tomato). It's what the girls and Cayce had last ngiht for supper. I have drank water till 5:30pm.
I made a honey mustard chicken salad for supper. It was delicious. Right now, I'm going to be drinking water.

I'm going to make some wildberry muffins later to have tomorrow morning for breakfast. Widow has her spay surgery in the morning, and so we have to get up around 5 to have her there for check in. I'm hoping that Cayce will get back at a reasonable time tomorrow morning, so we can do some Zumba or go walking at the local track.
