I took today off from work. YEA! Any day off of work is a great day! I am a part time employee right now, but I seem to work full time, filling in at our satellite office. Next week I�ll be starting a new position (99% sure of it) and that is full time. I�m happy and sad about it at the same time. We could use the money, because we will be trying to buy a house soon, on the other hand, I like having a few days off during the week to get stuff done, laundry, cleaning, errands and cook for my sweet husband.I have two new goals in mind. The first one is to weigh 217 by August 30th. Last year around this time I got down to 218 for my trip to Arizona. I maintained that for 3 weeks. Then I gained about 10 lbs in 2 weeks when I was there (every one was feeding me and I just couldn�t say no!) and over the course of the year about another 5 lbs. So, I want to weigh less than I did last year even if it only a pound.
My second goal is to wear a pair of shorts that I bought last summer. Unbeknownst to me they were mislabeled and I didn�t try them on. When I got home and discovered that they were too small (just by a size or 2) I figured that I would fit into them eventually. Well here�s my chance!
I have a lot to do today and that is a good thing. I will keep busy and keep out of the fridge. If I don�t allow my self to get bored then I�ll be ok. But this weekend is all about hiking, fishing and beautiful Mother Nature. We are going to Mt. Hood. There is a lodge there and the ski lifts are still running. You can ride them and take in the beautiful scenery from up high. My sister-in-law�s boyfriend has a cabin up there and we are going to meet them there. I can�t wait!! I love weekend adventures. So I will be packing and getting things together for that. To busy to binge. Hey, that sounds like a slogan.
Food front: My caloric intake was good, I stayed under 1600, but I think I am getting bored of eating some of the same things. I won�t give a rundown, just the percentages due to there are two days worth and it�s the same stuff I�ve been eating.
Wednesday:
Calories: 1438
Fat: 27%. Carbs: 49%. Protein: 24%
As much as I like Slim Fast, I don�t thing it is the best thing for breakfast. It has 40 g of carbs.
Thursday:
Calories: 1583
Fat: 47%. Carbs: 18%. Protein: 35%.
For lunch I went and picked up a piece of fried chicken. I ate coating, skin and all. I honestly didn�t think it would be 850 calories. Half of my calories in one meal! When I got home I was feeling feverish and yucky so I went to bed early and without dinner. Good thing, because I was cutting it close to my calories anyway.
Off to start my day and stay busy, busy, busy.
