WootWoot it is FRIDAY!!!!!!!!! PAYDAY!!!!! HOLIDAY WEEKEND!!!!!!! WOOT!!!!!!! YAY!!!!!
Wake up 5:45am
Shower/coffee/ hair/make-up/smoothie/pack food/ drive to work/ work/ gym/ vitamin store/ grocery store/ drive to my mom’s / drive to my house/ make dinner/ blog/ shower/ bed!
Coffee: 2 TBSP of SF Non-Dairy Creamer + 2 sweetener packets ( I drank a little less than half it was rather warm in my house this morning making it unappetizing)
Pictures from my drive in:
Smoothie: 1 scoop of Vanilla Whey + 1 tsp of SF orange Metamucil + ½ of an FRS in Citrus Pomegranate
Breakfast: I ordered take out…. YIKES! Now here is where you can tell a big difference in my mind set on this journey. We ordered from a place called EastCoast… Normally I would get a Farmers Breakfast Pizza with mozzarella cheese… It’s about a 10inch pizza with eggs, potatoes, bacon, sausage, and loads of cheese. It’s delicious… Greasy… and salty… I would order that an in the course of an hour eat the whole thing and feel like a miserable failure in life… TODAY! I ordered egg whites with mushrooms no cheese. It was ok, but it felt greasy… I didn’t like it. I kept thinking how if I would have made it at home it would have probably been a ton less calories and salt…. Needless to say I won’t order it again, but I was proud of myself for not ordering a breakfast pizza! I also had 2 cups of very large grapes! YUM!
Breakfast Picture:
Snack: UTOH this day seems to be doomed…. Banana Split Day…. To celebrate one of my co-worker’s birthday they set up a banana split bar…. Bananas, Neapolitan Ice Cream, every flavor of Smucker’s topping you can think of, mini M&Ms, crushed peanuts, sprinkles, canned whipped topping and maraschino cherries! YIKES AGAIN!!!!!!!
Here is what I went with:
1 large banana topped with 1tsp of mini M&Ms, 1tsp of crushed nuts, approx 3TBSP of whipped topping, and 4 maraschino cherries. Totaling about 285calories. Not bad. I could have just not participated or just had a banana, but this way I felt like I good a nice sweet splurge, but didn’t over do it. I figured out that if I would have done 3 scoops of ice cream and 3 liquid toppings(I would have went with chocolate, marshmallow, and caramel) it would have totaled about 800+ calories easily. I don’t need to splurge that deeply!
I was very proud of myself. I was thanking God for giving me strength in an area I’ve been so weak in my whole life. It’s amazing how prayer will deliver you where you need to be!
I only had to work a half day today so I was able to hit the gym early! Scratch that I was able to go shopping and spend my paycheck!
Gym: NO! lol
Target Find:
My friend Tiff had gave me a piece of this to try! It is to die for!
Giant Eagle Market District! I bought some crazy good stuff. I love this store, but seriously I cannot afford to shop here! I bought my Mom some cookies, bread, and candy! She’s skinny she can afford the calories! I bought myself some low cal garlic tortillas and some ingredients for upcoming recipes! YAY!
Lunch: McD’s grilled snack wrap Chipotle flavor with added pickles and extra lettuce…. I know I’ve complained about this before but it really annoys me that they charge you an extra 25cents for extra lettuce!
Dinner: I wasn’t hungry when dinner time rolled around and I was running short on calories today. I decided since it was so hot and I wanted a light a refreshing meal to go with 2 cups of watermelon and 2 cups of grapes.
Wal-mart I bought what I needed for the picnic on Sunday, the treat I’m making for my Faithfully Fit girls on Monday, and some food for the rest of the upcoming week. I also thought this was totally cool!
Snack: 1 cup of coffee from Sheetz with 2 caramel macchiato creamers and a splash of skim milk. I also had two small bites of almond cake that I had bought at MarketDistrict.
Calories: 1,300 Water: ugh another day of not drinking a lot of water… I must kick this up tomorrow!
Today I threw myself another mini pity party. It’s really starting to bother me that I don’t have a lot of close friends or people who I can rely on. I keep praying that God will continue to move people in my life that will support and love me. It would be nice to be able to just pick up the phone and have someone there on the other end willing to listen, meet for coffee, or go for a walk.
It’s way past my bed time and I’m thoroughly exhausted!
Praises: I’m so thankful that I’m able to have a comfortable lifestyle. I can’t imagine not being able to go to the store and not buy what I want or need even if sometimes it has to go on credit cards! I can’t imagine having to live a hard life of labor or in a third world country. We are truly blessed in this country. I’m thankful that God has allowed me to have a comfortable life and provides for my every need. I’m thankful for a job that provides great benefits and a boss who is relatively easy to get along with. God is so loving and He provides us what we need when we need it and I know He will continue to meet my every need.
xoxo
