Day 8

After yesterday's "diet depression" day, where I felt like I was getting no where, that I was afraid I was never going to get throught this the right way, and that I am going to be doomed to failure. Today I am the complete opposite; I am ready to walk to the ends of the earth, do what ever I can to make this thing go right, hopeful for the future! I think I am bi-polar! I'm hoping it's just getting used to this diet thing. Today was Labor day so you can see I planned according to it. I am eating fruit today, but it is suppose to be a good fruit for my since it's mostly water!

OK today I am furious frustrated with myself. I can tell weekends are going to be my hardest to over come; boredom eating, snacking, choices of meals, and overpowering temptations. I have to say we did not do much today and you can tell by what I ate all day. the only real meal was supper; every thing else was snacking!

Breakfast:

Snack:
2 pickles

Snack:
2 pickles

Supper:

Totals:   Calories-1675    Carbs.-47

Ugh! today was a very boring day and I can't believe I've messed up this whole weekend! How am I supposed to get where the Dr. wants if I keeps messing up on the weekends!

Day 6

Today I stayed pretty busy and we had to be out and about a lot today doing Sat. things. I went over on calories by 240 but agian I don't care cuz it's still less for me! Plus today I didn't go over on carbs., and I was a LOT better when I went to go get groceries today. Last week when i started I was FREAKIN out on how to buy groceries, but today was kind of fun. I actually found more things to get for lunches and snack that are better for my and that I LOVE to eat.

Breakfast:
5 sausage patties

Snack:
2 pickles (full)
1 pkg. of Cocoa Roasted Almond (the 100 calories pkg.)

Supper:
OK this is where things get dicey (litterally) I made a small pizza but I only ate the crust of the serving recomendation the other slices I took off all the stuff. But when I added the calories and carbs. I added all the amounts of the whole pizza (which I did not eat, I did leave some for tomorrow and I shared w/ the kids).
crust (2 slices)
parmesan
1/4 c. pizza sauce
1 can sliced olives

Day 3

OK today was the worst day ever and not just for my diet but for life! I woke up with my daughter sick, we were terribly worried because swine flu has popped up here finally and I was freaking out about that. Then my son decided this was the week to turn into Mr. Hyde at home and school so that was fun dealing with him this morning. I had to take a cab to work, and then when I got to school there was a girl who wanted to go bizirk all morning. I didn't have time to eat breakfast trying to get DD a Dr. appt, call her school, calling DS's teacher to talk with her, and then call him in tardy when he was rnning behind. Then when I did leave I didn't plan or take my lunch.. So I have been flying by the seat of my pants all day! So I know this was a set back today and the I went over in calories, but this was a BAD day! I'm not giving up because I haven't failed, I just messed up.

Today all I had was:
2 hamburger patties
Skim milk
1Tbsp. Ketchup

Day 2

Ok well at least I didn't get a headache today, but I went over on my calories today (really). I am not going to write every calories just list what I have eaten and then the totals, because as you can see fron yesterday's post it didn't work so well.

Breakfast:
2 boiled eggs
1/4 cup cottage cheese
1 small tomoato

Lunch:
Progresso's chicken noodle soup 2 servings

Like I said earlier I didn't get a headache. But I forgot to bring anything to drink to work, so other than my milk at lunch I was thirsty (I can NOT drink faucet water unless it's to make tea). I was also grumpier than HELL today. I came home roaring like a bear! I had to put myself in numerous time out to keep from blowing up at some one.

Day 1

Here's today's food list. I did ok; I went over on my calories but I was way low on carbs, and we didn't go for our walk tonight because Matt and I had diet-headaches.

                    Item                                                    Carb. count        Calories          
Breakfast:
2 eggs with a Tbsp of cilantro, 1/4 c. shredded

Total                                                                             42                  1134

OK, so mis-calculated I was still under my 1200 calories and like I said waaaaay under
my 150g. carb limit. Matt has been real supportive today, especially when I was read to scarf down supper, and he told me to slow down and enjoy it. He is also doing well on his diet, but like I said we both have a headache from lack of over-eating.

The Day Before

Well this is my last day before I start my diet, and I am scared that I won't be able to do it. I am scared of the headaches I will get, the cravings I will have to ignore, and many more other little doubts that pop into my head a million times a day.

The Dr wants me to lose atleast 10lbs. by the end of November. She wants to see if exercise and a low-carb diet will bring down my blood sugar so she doesn't have to treat me as prediabetic. My husband and kids will be walking with me at night. Matt is restarting his slimfast diet that he did a couple of years ago, because it worked so well. He just gained some back because he was unemployed for a year. My kids just need to get more active, and grow into their weight.

I want to use this blog as a daily counter for calories and carbs, also to keep busy in those idle times I am bored, and to see my progress hopefully. I am not here to preach to others of how well my diet will work because I don't know.

I need to stay as close to 1200 calories a day and 130-150g of carbs.
