Ugh. I feel like it's day 15253. Not really I'm just being dramatic because it's been a long week... and it's only tuesday. But I still feel good. I have been having more weak moments recently, though. Nothing huge, it's just I could be doing better. Like today I ate at Chipotle for dinner and consumed 690 calories in one sitting. Terrible. BUT that is the last thing I am eating today so I am still within my 1500-1700 calorie range. I just keep putting off going to the grocery because I just have NO money. Im so broke right now. Being broke when on this new lifestyle change... not easy.
My sister called the other day and said I should get a scale for my food. She said that way I can weigh my meats and such and have a much more accurate calorie count. So as soon I am less broke. Im gettin' one. Along with some groceries.
I am still struggling with late night snacking, though. I think that is my worst enemy. I hate it. I find I have to just get out of the house so I stop snacking. It's horrible. Anyone have like a special thing they do to help them, cause I got nothin. I don't want to go all day doing great, then in three bites, ruin it all.
OH I had my session with my personal trainer yesterday!!! She was so great. Her name is Silvia and I love her. We didn't do much workout wise, just a series of a bunch of tests. Nothing more embarrassing than a BMI, i'll tell ya that right now...
I'm gonna meet with her again next week and get some workouts together. I pumped!
Off to memorize some Shakespeare. kill me.

Hey ryan wood! Its mace-face!
ReplyDeletefirst off I just wanted to start his comment off by telling you that I LOVE YOU.
here is a tip.... i agree that late night snakin is the hardest thing ever! Try and suck on some ice... and if you want a little tang to it. pour on a little bit of lemon or lime juice.
sonic ice is the best!
anyway I love you ryan wood!
love,
macie!
Keep fresh fruit around. And get a bunch of different varieties - strawberries (which are VERY cheap right now) grapes, kiwis, grapefruit (rubbing nips) - it helps alot with the late night snacking!

I was going to say what Shawn said. ha Just get healthy snacks like fruit that you can munch on without feeling guilty. That way you won't have to not eat at all when you are hungry at night. You can eat a bit and not feel bad. Also, isn't Salsa pretty good for you seeing as its just veggies and seasoning? Maybe you can get health food chips (made of all veggies or something) and eat that as a snack?!
ReplyDeleteKEEP IT UP! Its not always going to be easy but STICK TO It! :)

Fruits + veggies are good for snacking. Whenever I get hungry at night I always drink a glass of water first (I'm usually just thirsty, not actually hungry) but if I'm up doing a paper or memorizing, I've found popcorn is a good, low-cal snack (the microwave kind that isn't covered in butter) you can get the bags that are individually sized (and its also considerably cheap if you go for the classy walmart brand!!)
ReplyDeleteAdri says she used to put tape across the doorway to the kitchen after 8 oclock. That eliminated any mindless snacking. She also says that eating 600 calories in one meal is not the end of the world. You just have to count it and work it into your plan!
ReplyDeleteWe are so proud of you! Wish me luck as I face the bar food capital of the world!
Love from your sisters in Chicago!

also chew gum. It helps curb your appetite when you are craving a late night snack.
