Food Plan 1-31-13

Hello everyone. Today was again another hard day. To be honest I don't at all feel as if im losing a single pound and I understand why. I have been worrying to much and counting every carb to the point of no return. I also don't feel as if I have been eating the foods I should be ether. I will be trying much HARDER in February. I've also been adding a workout routine as well. I try to walk on the treadmill for 15-30 minutes at night. I also will be adding sit ups as well. My goal is to lose a total of 30 pounds. Im only 13 pounds away and I can taste it. Cross your fingers for me.

LUNCH:
             AB Chicken Chili 20 Carbs
             Grilled Cheese 20 Carbs
Total: 40/50 Carbs

SNACK: P.S I had NO idea this cookie had so many carbs...never again!!!!!!!
                AB 1/2 Chocolate Chip Cookie 24 Carbs
Total: 24/20 Carbs

DINNER:
             RR Burger Minus 1 Bun Plain 22 Carbs
             Mac and Cheese 20 Carbs
Total: 42/50 Carbs


So today I epically failed in the snack department. Tomorrow I won't be posting a meal plan I will just be posting my first weigh in. Maybe those 4 extra carbs didn't count

Meal Plan 1-29-13

Hello everyone! This is day 2 of my January/ February Food Overview!!!! Everyday I am going to try a post what I ate each day including weigh loss weigh ins every friday.

Today was your usual tuesday. Of course I blew my no sweet rule but however I managed to stay within my carb limits. I am managing to not craze as much sweets so thats awesome. My goal is to have no sweets tomorrow. If I have one I won't be mad but it would be better to go without. Tomorrow I doubt I will have time to do a food post but I will deff. try. Today wasn't as hard as yesterday. So now what I ate...

LUNCH:
        1 Skinny Cow Bar 14 carbs
        Chick-fil-a 12 count nuggets. - 2 Nuggets. 17 Carbs
        4 fries (I suggest skipping this) 9 1/2 Carbs btw: THATS JUST CRAZY
Total: 35 Carbs out of a possible 50!

SNACK:
      1 Skinny Cow Bar 14 carbs
Total: 14 Carbs/ 20 carbs

DINNER:
         3 Slices Cheese Pizza 39 Carbs
Total: 39 Carbs/ 50 Carbs

SNACK: 8fl oz 2% Fat Free Milk 12 carbs
Total: 12 Carbs/ 20 Carbs

 My new little secret for a snack is 2% fat free milk. It has ALOT of protein and vitamins. Thats like having cheese and some meat. It also fills you up. :)

Meal Plan 1-28-13

Hello everyone! Long time no post. As usual life doesn't give me a lot of time to post so my goal for the next few weeks is to post at least 5-7 days a week. Cross your fingers it will work.

So today I started back on my diet. Even though for the last few days I have been stuffing myself with junk I still managed to lose weight?!?!?!?!? Anyway today I have what I ate today straight from my food journal. I managed to do pretty well for the first day even though I did eat ice cream (1/2 cup of course) Its been really weird lately because all I crave is SUGAR! Maybe hormonal? Anyway by the way last thursday I saw my wonderful nutritionist. She managed to get me to tell the truth about all the well "CRUD" I had been eating. She even let me buy a wonderful book which I will review later about all the calories and carbs in food around us. Changed my mindset for sure. So now for what I ate. It wasn't the best but with my crazy sugar high I think I did pretty well.....


Lunch:
        1/3 cup white rice 15 carbs
        baked chicken 0 carbs
        green beans 3 carbs
        +  2 Skinny Cow Bar 28 carbs! BAD IDEA! DO NOT DO!
Total: 46/50 carbs

Snack: 1/2 Cup/ scoop Ice cream. (This is okay if you stick with the 1/2 cup)
15 Carbs/ 20 Carbs

Dinner:
           Chicken Chili 14 carbs
Total: 14 carbs/ 50 carbs

Snack:
         1 cup 2% fat free milk
Total: 12 carbs /20 carbs

As I said this deff. wasn't the best way to start my new diet but everyday is a new day. My goal tomorrow is to have nothing sweet. Lets see.

My Little Secret.....

Hello again everyone! Today I want to share a little secret that can zap your appetite why giving you the wonderful taste of pasta. I want to introduce you to vegetable pasta. Its a multi colored pasta that has a full serving of veggies. Not only is it super yummy but your get 100% of the benefits of real veggies. What do they taste like? REGULAR PASTA. It just looks a little...well...colorful. My favorite is to make it into a yummy healthy mac and cheese. If you are a picky eater you will LOVE this. Its perfect for little kids to because it looks colorful but taste so amazing.  You can pick it up at any grocery store. The carb. levels are the same as regular pasta but if you give yourself a lesser portion and include a protein you will still lose the weight. So stop worrying about gooey veggies.....try this pasta. :)
