Blah, Blah, Blah

Sooooo apparently I'm way too busy for this thing but I will give you as much of an update as feasibly possible.

Sunday:: I ate a small bowl of soup for lunch, cause I've been extremely sick, some kind of bronchial congestion something or other, then for dinner I went to Santa Fe Steak House with my family and I had the Sante Fe chicken which was a grilled chicken breast, plus two sides. I got steamed vegetables and fries because french fried potatoes are the most important food group! That pretty much wraps up my Sunday.

Monday:: I ate nothing for breakfast, had some chicken nuggets (for protein) and some french fries for lunch, and red beans and rice for dinner. Lots of protein... and grease i suppose. Oh well...

Tuesday (Today):: I had an egg white omelet for breakfast a salad for lunch and a cheese sandwich and some baby carrots for dinner. PLUS, I ran today!!! Not far, cause I'm not a runner, but I ran two blocks, so score one for me!!!

Hopefully tomorrow I will run some more and eat better. I have to take some promo model pictures on Sunday, and I gotta look as fit as possible. Wish me luck and continue to help me through this.

MISERABLE FAIL

So I know it's been a day or two, but it's okay because I have a FANTASTIC memory....

FRIDAY:::::
Decent enough day, I suppose, as far as food goes. I had an apple, a buscuit and some orange juice for breakfast, a tiny piece of left over grilled chicken for lunch, and then for dinner I went out with my friends to a Japanese restaurant and had some vegetable rice and sesame chicken.

SATURDAY::::

Today, I had the leftover sesame chicken from Friday night... and then I pretty much ran around town busy with errands and then I had my first night working as a promo girl. I went to Fox and the Hound with my new friend Lucy, and we did promotions for Tuaca liquer... It was pretty awesome. I met a lot of new people, made some cash, overall not bad. After sitting in construction traffice for an hour on the way home, I was starving... so I made a 12:30 am run to Wendys and ate some spicy chicken nuggets and had some french fries... but I'm doubting still that I exceeded 1500 calories.


I've been really sick the last few days which is very rare and extremely unusual (boy was that a redundant statement) Seriously, I've been sick maybe 2 in the last 3 or 4 years, but this sinus cold thingy I have is seriously kicking my butt.

I've have been slacking so bad on exercising. In one week I've only been walking one day, and that's the extent of my exercise. Not good...

Okay, guys and gals, until tomorrow (or later today really)!!!

Ehhh... could be better

Well I did pretty good today, as far as food goes. I had some rice cakes (only a few because my little brother ate most of my bag :( Grrr...) Then I had a peanut butter and jelly sandwich for lunch. I cooked dinner today, well my mom cooked some yellow rice and made a salad, I made some kick butt baked chicken. That's what I had for dinner :) Go me... Then I decided as I was cleaning the kitchen that I needed to find a way to get rid of all the apples that I bought the other day, because as much as I like apples, there's no way in tarnation that I can consume an entire bag. So I decided to make up my own cake concoction. I used a boxed buttercream cake sliced some apples and added some pumpkin spice to the mix. I made some homemade vanilla icing, so while it's still fattening I lose all those yucky preservatives. I don't know how it's gonna turn out yet, but I will definitely let y'all know tomorrow.

I know I said I was gonna do no sugar... that's hard, real hard. But I also promised myself that I wouldn't deprive myself of things that I wanted, and I figure that as long as it's in small portions and in good moderation, it won't hurt too much.

Tonight I still have to do my squats, and ab workout, but as far as the walking thing goes, I just can't seem to find the time and energy... I need to get on it though and quick. I'm taking some head shots and body shots next week so I can start getting some promo work and maybe send my stuff out to Casting offices and try to be cast as an extra in the movies that are filmed here in Louisiana. All that and the pageant on top of it all... just have a lot going on. Keep your fingers crossed cause I'm gonna need all the help I can possibly get!!! Until tomorrow!

Well, so much for that...

Well day 2, and I'm already slipping. This isn't gonna be easy at all. I did well until dinner. I had an apple for lunch, peanut butter and jelly sandwich and some snap peas for lunch, but by the time dinner came around I was starving. I've been sick, so walking in the 100 degree weather wasn't an option. I stuffed my face with 4 pieces of pizza, I usually only eat one so that shows you how hungry I was. Anyway... I hope to get back on track tomorrow, I need to kick it up a notch and start really working this out.

BUH-NAH-NAHS

So today was day one of skinny or bust... and I think I much would have rather prefered busting. I have eaten well, a subway veggie sandwich (no mayo and oil and vinegar instead) I had some cheese and then I went on a food run because with no sugar in my life I am sure to spontaneously combust. So I bought some snap peas, carrots, apples, some flavored (but 0 calorie 0 sugar) water, and some of those quaker rice cakes. Who'd've thunk that the apples are more fattening than the rice cakes, but I really don't care I'm a fiend for apples.

I walked a mile, I intended for more but this 100 degree Louisiana weather is torture. I thought about shooting basketball but go figure, the ball is MIA.

I'm proud of myself, but it's only day one, lots more to go, lots of tears will be shed, mostly because of lack of sugar. Wish me luck.

Let's Start at the Very Beginning, a very good place to start...

As I stripped off my clothing to dip into my warm bath tonight, I noticed pudge that I haven't seen in a LONG time. I then realized that I haven't really exercised in about 6 weeks, when I graduated college. An experience that I took for granted if for the sole purpose of the more than 1 mile that I walked daily as I darted to and fro classes.

So as we speak I am eating my last fireball, and in about 45 minutes I will eat my last piece of pie, and tomorrow I will bust out the tennis shoes, walking shorts, and sports bra, and begin my new crisp and clean lifestyle.

I guess I got a little inspiration from that show on Bravo, "Thintervention." I've decided to cut out unessential sugars. If the sugar isn't part of a fruit and or vegetable I will not consume it. I vow to walk at least 2 miles a day, which is a realistic goal, but my heart will be reaching for 5 or 6. I'm a sweets freak so this will not be an easy task, I am not going complete health nut because I am promising myself a diet free cheat day once every week.

I have yet another incentive for getting fit, I am single (truly single) for the first time in a long time and as much as I miss him and as much as he was the love of my life, I refuse to let myself get soft and squishy, I need to be in my very best shape because you never know when you will meet Mr. Right (or Mr. Right Now). I'm also going to be in a pageant on the 2nd of October so hopefully by then I will have lost at least 5 pounds, more would be better but I won't kill myself.

I won't give myself an overall weight loss goal or preferred clothing style, because I've learned in the past that when I put that kind of pressure on myself, I stress out and binge eat. So when I feel better and I feel like it's enough, then I will stop.

So wish me luck readers, I hope that you will all give me some kind of inspiration to stay afloat and keep my goals within reach. I am planning on giving daily updates so I can keep track of how well I'm doing, and maybe some healthy recipes that I will try every now and then. So it's time to get SKINNY or I will BUST out of my clothes!
