my lunch was actually a full piece of chicken and more rice and all... but i just couldn't eat it... it was good.. but just couldn't do it..
I started making my meal plans for next week and am keeping that in mind.. more snacks.. less big meals...
I am still under in my calories.. but fine on everything else i am watching... I feel like i am constantly eating but am still not hitting those calories! blarg!
I find myself looking forward to my apple juice at night... i measure it out.. and then dump water in it to help get my water servings in LOL...goes down sooo much easier than plain water!
And yes.. i ate a damn cookie at work... but jesus i had PLENTY of calories left and i really wanted that oatmeal cookie!
i am still munching on the damn cheerios... i am gonna eat them all and drink my watered down juice and play online until i am tired :D
any pointers on reaching the calorie goals without bumping other things up?

REFLECTIONS:
Today was surprisingly easy.. As long as I bring enough healthy snacks to work I don't think i will have a problem. I even avoided eating a giant chocolate chip and caramel cookie! talk about will power.. My "breakfast" was supposed to be veggie fried rice.. the recipe seemed ok.. first bite seemed too oniony.. second bite was just gross... so i tossed it... which is how i had a sandwich LOL
The apple juice is probably the highlight of my day... i am sipping it as slowly as possible.. even watered it down to get that 4th cup of water in...
I am under my calorie goal by almost 300... its weird because i am not even hungry!
Two days down! only.... erm... a lot more to go!
Lets start with the menu
Breakfast:
2 slices of whole wheat bread, 1 tbsp of peanut butter, 1 tbsp blueberry jam
Lunch:
Half a piece of lemon chicken, about a cup of brown rice and wild rice, 1 cup green beans, 1 container of yogurt, and 1 banana pecan oatmeal cookie
Dinner: 1 full egg + 1 egg white scrambled, 2 tortillas, 2 oz shredded cheese, and half a cup of salsa.
random munchies: 1 small apple, 10 baby carrots, 18 grapes, 1.5 cups of cheerios (dry), 1 stick of gum
I have been trying to drink the same damn bottle of water since i woke up today.. am about halfway through it. I am not a water person.

Today went pretty well since I was not at work and eating on a time limit... It was a TON of food... I actually had to cut my dinner completely in half because i couldn't eat it all. That is the only reason i was able to drink though... had PLENTY of calories left that i could play with.
I also realized that eating something big in the morning makes me sick the sandwich barely made it down. I think that I am going to see if that changes this week.. and if not just set it as toast and peanut butter or an apple and peanut butter or whatever as breakfast and add an extra snack. We will see how it plays out...
I am not a water person.. i want my coke sooo bad.. i can barely drink this water... i am determined to finish this bottle before i sleep tonight though.
On a more depressing note.. I went to the bar with a couple of friends.. it is ladies night and you get in free plus two free drinks.. a kinda new friend named Cassie was trying really hard to get me to dance. I love to dance.. but not when people are around... she cornered me and asked me why... I told her the truth.. After going out and getting weird looks from people because of my weight and having someone say "oh look at the fat girl dancing"... it is not enjoyable anymore... I was fighting back tears... i know she meant well and i know she just wanted me to have fun like the rest of them.. but it isn't something I can do...
I ended up leaving pretty quickly after that... i still have one of my free drink tickets in my pocket as a matter of fact...
blarg.. oh well i just need more motivation to lose the weight..and maybe that was it..
Yet again I am going to attempt the weight loss crap..
I am doing it a different way though. I am not going to jump in and kill myself with workouts and eating less like i used to..
This time, I am starting out by changing my diet... no gym time.. just diet changes..
I am going to try to keep a journal and keep this blog up to date...
I am planning menus for each day and trying to keep my calories, fat, carbs, and proteins in a specific range.
The ranges are:
Calories:1840-2190
Carb:207-356
Fat:41-85
Protein:60-192
seems pretty doable (btw i got these numbers from www.sparkpeople.com)
I have a set menu for a week at a time and am trying to eat just that.. i am going to TRY to drink only water (or juice when it is noted) but i am a coca cola addict... and coffee...
I will be weighing in on Tuesday mornings at 5:30 am NAKED haha....
Starting weight.... (holy crap i don't wanna post this...)
277.8
