Someone wore her grumpypants today!

Woke up on time this morning! Praise the Lord I think my prayers to become a morning person have finally been answered! I woke up not only on time, but a few minutes early! Stay tuned.... it goes down hill from here.....

Wake-up: 5:15am

Weight: Not moving… still stuck where I was on Monday.  I’m not going to let a number get me down.  Just work harder to get it moving…

Shower… Coffee= 2TBSP SF Hazelnut Creamer +2 sweeteners…. Drive to work J

Breakfast: ½ cup of dry oatmeal cooked slowly on the stove top with 1½ cups of water and 3 TBSP of SF Polamer’s Apricot and Fiber Jam.

Breakfast was good, but it wasn’t enough.  Next time I will either double the amount of oatmeal/water or I will add some protein powder.  Some morning I feel like I’m starving. Do you get that way? No matter how much you eat it isn’t enough or you feel like the food is running right through you? Some days I eat breakfast and I want to eat again.  I realize I’m probably not really hungry just bored or maybe anxious about something.  However occasionally there are days where I feel famished all day.  Not because I’m not hydrated, stressed out, or bored but I genuinely feel famished. Today is one of those days.

Snack: 1 ½ cups of seedless red grapes

Snack: 1 Dannon Light & Fit Vanilla Yogurt with PB

That was all before 10:30am L  *sigh*

I decided to make a 100 calorie bag of popcorn.  Filling and salty that will work.  I ate just over half and gave the rest away.  I’ve drank nearly 60oz of liquid already and it’s not even noon….. odd….

I also wore about 8oz.  I didn’t screw the lid down on my cup and forgot.  Grabbed said cup and splish! Oh my I see it’s going to be a rough road today Lord.

11:35am I started praying hard that things would change themselves around today. That I would straighten out my calorie mess and finish this day strong in the Lord and faithful in my journey.

Wonder if I can count all the times my hand went from a plate to my mouth today as exercise!?!?

Lunch: mmmmmm tasty wraptastic lunch-a-liciousness!

Today I had a fiber one wrap, 4oz of grilled chicken, 1 cup of lettuce, and 1 cup of tomatoes.

I made a wrap with 2oz of the grilled chicken half of the lettuce and 1 TSBP of Kraft Honey BBQ Sauce.

I at the rest of the lettuce and tomatoes with some salt and pepper sprinkled on.

This was satisfying yet I kept having that hungry feeling all day.

Snack: 1 Fiber One Chocolate Chewy Bar

Gym: 30minutes on the treadmill with an average speed of 2.5. Not bad.  Not the best.  15 minutes on the recumbent bike.  15 minutes of lifting weights.

I was going to skip church tonight.  This isn’t like me.  I just really wasn’t in the mood.  I’ve had a serious case of the grumpies all day! I just frankly don’t want to be around people.  I know that sounds awful and horribly unchristian of me, but you know what? Sometimes I have some seriously unchristian moments! Today is one of them.  I’ve been trying to work it out with the Lord asking him to help me out.   By the time I was half way through my work out I was feeling a little better and decided to go to church.

Dinner:  I stopped at McDonald’s and grabbed a ranch grilled chicken snack wrap.  I of course added extra lettuce and pickles!  This helps to bulk it up without bulking up the calories. I also got an apple dipper with caramel.  Yummms 100 calories and super sweet!  That definatly hit the spot. 

Church… home…. 100 calorie ice cream bar…..

Back to the grumpies.  They came back after church.  I’m not sure why it is.  Maybe sometimes my BF just gets on my nerves or maybe it’s because I’m stressed out or striving too hard.  I was thinking a lot about this while on the treadmill.  Why are you so grumbypantsed today? What is so wrong? Is it because you are disappointed because you haven’t lost as much weight as you would like? Is it because sometimes you work so hard and don’t see the results? Is it because you are jealous of other people’s happiness? Other people’s success? Maybe…. Maybe it’s all these things…. Maybe it’s none of these things…. Maybe….. Maybe there is some ripple or some flaw in your relationship with Christ…. Or maybe just maybe you woke up on the wrong side of the bed? Either way I’m thankful that Christ makes us new each day and I’m hoping the me He makes me tomorrow is not grumpy!

Now I’m gonna hit the hay and call it a night before I hit my BF!

Here are my calories for the day:

 Totals: 1,474    Goal:  1,647   Remaining: 173  Calories earned from exercise: 367

Praises: I’m thankful I got through the day without seriously flipping out, saying something totally ignorant, or hitting anyone.  I think before I found Christ I would have been a ranting lunatic today. I’m loving and keeping faith that Christ will make me new again.  I’m thankful for the people God has put in my life to keep me real and keep me praising!
