A day of frustration!

*eyes opening* running late, oh no I know I have a jam packed morning….. this isn’t looking good from the start…

Wake-up: 5:50am

Shower, coffee, make-up, clothing, pack lunch, make breakfast, blend smoothie… run out the door… get gas… speed to work… make it just in time…

Smoothie: 1 scoop of vanilla whey protein + 1 tsp SF orange Metamucil 6 ice cubes + 1 cup water

Breakfast: 1 egg, ½ cup of egg white, 1 slice FF cheese, 1 Fiber One wrap

In the picture you will see a yogurt I did not eat the yogurt at breakfast I was full from the wrap!

Long rant about MyFitnessPal diet site:

This is where my day begins to take a turn in a downward direction…. I received an e-mail from one of the forum moderators on the diet weight loss site that I use.  The e-mail stated ‘it had been brought to their attention that my signature and picture on the site had a religious connotation to them and that site rules state to post in the forums you cannot have anything of religious content as it is found offensive’.  Really?!? But your website let me choose the name ChubbyChristianChick and I’ve had said picture and tag-line for over 3 months with no issues… weird…. This got me hot… I get that not everyone in the world is a Christian.  That’s ok.  I have tons of friends who aren’t Christians. However, it is a huge and important part of who I am and what I am doing in my life right now at this very moment!

Maybe people don’t understand that until I accepted Christ in my life I was weak. I was leaning only on myself and I would fail each and every time I would attempt to lose weight. I should have given up by now. I should have thrown in the towel and gorged myself on cake. BUT! Because of who He is I am capable of being who I am right at this moment. A person who is making drastic changes in her life. I was a person who 4 months ago couldn’t walk a flight of steps without panting. NOW I am stronger and each day I learn and grow in my relationship with Christ and my relationship with my body.

So I guess maybe I can see why people would have an issue with that. Because I am making changes with the help of Christ while others stay stagnant. Frustrating....

Back to food….

Snack1: 1 Dannon Light&Fit Strawberry Yogurt (pictured with this morning’s egg wrap)

Exercise burst: 15minute walk around the building!

Lunch: 1 cup of 8-grain whole wheat pasta mixed with 1/2 of a light cheese stick, 1 TBSP bacon crumbles, 3TSBP Light Kraft dressing, and salad seasoning as side: 1 cup of steamed zucchini

Today was the yearly ‘carnival’ where I work.  They provided free hot dogs, popcorn, and this year a cold treat.  I did not have a hot dog (mostly because I’m picky about my wieners and I like to keep them LowFat and Kosher) I did however partake in a frozen treat! And 1 cup of movie style popcorn!

Now I know what you are thinking… Way to blow all of your calories on one item…. WRONG!  I was praying that this place would have at least one sugar free option and to my surprise they had a few choices! I went with SF strawberry! It was sooooo tasty and cold and just what I needed. According to what little information I could find online it has approx 10 calories and oz.  I’m not sure how many oz were squirted in but it was juicy at the bottom so I tracked 50calories for it.

Snack2: 1 cup of movie style popcorn (from the carnival) 2cups of sugar free Jell-O

Shopping! Ah yes my favorite sport! I love to shop! Unfortunately my BF was with me so I had to make it a quick trip.  I was looking for a new pair of running shoes. My feet have been killing me lately and I think it is the lack of support the current shoes I had were offering.  Dang unsupportive shoes just like a man J !  I wanted to go to a running store and get fitted but I am not ready for that investment just yet. $100+ not right now…. Maybe when I’m a millionaire… In the mean time I guess the hunt for shoes continues.... Its so frustrating to me because I have wider feet and I know because of my weight I need a good pair of shoes! grrrr!

Dinner: Dunnananannaaannaaa I’m Loving it!

1 grilled chicken chipotle snack wrap with extra lettuce and pickles 1 fruit and walnut salad without the nuts!

Wednesday night bible study! I love bible study and getting to see my church family. We always get home so late from bible study…. I'm currently chomping on a DumDum sucker! I needed something sweet and for under 25calories it takes the edge off! Blog….Bed!

Exercise: Today I only got in a 15 minute walk during my 1st break....frustrating...

Water: Ok. Not exactly the amount I should have but excusable this once.

Prayer requests: Please pray for a woman in my weight loss group named Terry who injured her knee during Monday night’s kickball game.  Please pray that God touches her with His healing hands and takes away her pain.

Praises: Thank you Jesus for giving me the strength and wisdom to make the right choices.  You are an amazing, awesome, and faithful God. I’m so thankful that I’ve found You in my life and I know now You’ve been standing here all along just waiting for me to turn to You.
