Kombucha and hot lemon water in morning.
Breakfast: full fat yogurt with sugar free raspberry jelly. 200
Snack: coffee with milk
Lunch: cooked kale, leftover chicken, half an avocado
snack: green tea
1050 cal before end of workday
Snack on fruit in car ride home around 5:15pm before dinner.
6pm Dinner maybe only around 400. - was like a cup of cooked kale, also cooked string beans, mushrooms & peppers. and a darn protein bar.
I'm kinda eating too many bars lately. But most of the time, they are more natural, less ingredients, and just an easy way to consume energy on the go. However, the Quest bars, are slightly addictive and not exactly balanced. But when I just want a glob of protein, neat and compact, they are soooo good. LOL.
Total around 1600 and eager to go to bed. Been up since 2am bc I guess I had some things on my mind. I am not upset or anything like it though! All in all, it was a successful day! Reading and bed :)
8pm ended up eating my fave tasting natural high fat Bulletproof choc collagen protein bar.
so around 1850 which is prob still slightly under my maintenance calories since I do that amazing weightlifting :) i'm telling you - THANK GOD FOR WEIGHTS. THEY SURE DO AN OTHERWISE SEDENTARY BODY GOOD!
Progress as of today: 0 lbs lost so far, only 2 lbs to go!
Perfect Beach Day!
Chips 250, kombucha 100, 350.
quest cookie dough protein only bar 200,Chips 140 before leaving apt.
2 large peppers 150, 2 medium plums 100...250 here.
Bulletproof Protein Bar made with Collagen, chocolate flavor. 230 (i'll just say 250)
1200 before dinner, good.
Large Volume Dinner: take-out Thai vegetable soup, pint, around 200 with shirataki low cal noodles (listed as 0 calories, but, who knows - they are only made of yam fiber.). then around a cup or two of broccoli with added sea salt100 at most, then some of friend's chicken 150?, followed by one fried spring roll 100?, and some fried rice 150? - and i'm gonna add around 100 cal more bc I had some of her veggies, etc: total here 800. fine...and more importantly, filling and balanced by adding that extra fat / carbs from the rice and spring roll. I should feel good in the morning. also the salt - good idea - bc I was sweating a bit at the beach.
total today: 2000. fine by me. and glad I was able to do a 1200 cal day yesterday though...lately seems easy to get one in on the weekend. I think the only way for me to lose weight is to have these lower cal days mixed in.
Progress as of today: 0 lbs lost so far, only 2 lbs to go!

Today I need to do errands - get a quote for repairing my car door- I wasn't being careful and scratched it. I am so upset at myself for being so careless. I may try to repair the bumper too. I am hoping it will be under $600 to repair. bumper and car door. Bumper always had peeling paint. Got a quote for $675 so will repair car this week near my work. The place opens at 8:30am, and I get to work at 8am. will ask my boss if a coworker can pick me up from there...and then they repair place said I could use my car after work to go home & drop it back off the next morning for the second day of work. it's good - i'll have my car for going to work - and can get it repaired during the two days while at work....good deal.
Leg / ankle hurts a tad bc I am using it more today with a few errands... but overall should be fine if I keep stretching it.

small coffee with little milk 30
for some reason, got a terrible stomachache after having a vitamin water zero, 2 medium apricots and a KIND bar before PT...I think because of...well, sorry, TOM. It's really been this way awhile now - veggies and fruits are not my friend for a few days each month. it's just too much. anyways, made it thru. calories were only 300 before PT.
1630...decided on a more decent dinner, around 7:45pm back at home:
fried egg 100, wrap 100, avocado 100, chips 200.

Progress as of today: 0 lbs lost so far, only 2 lbs to go!
Definitely opt for greek yogurt. Don't opt for the ones that are flavored. You can flavor them yourself with fruit (strawberries) or other things. The additionally jelly etc that they put in is all sugar...
The most filling ones for me are Fage, the 2% or even full fat. 2% is best if you are watching calories. the non fat varieties of greek sometimes don't keep me satisfied long... You can add lots of healthy things to your yogurt. If you get non-fat, you can add some nuts and fruit...
Definitely greek is healthier than the regular yogurts. It has more protein, less sugar.
9:45am: nuts and soup 150, 2 small plums 50, strawberries 50, cup fiber one cereal 120 and cup 30 cal almond milk: 400....and kombucha 70.
470...prob laundry soon...
I could maintain my weight so easily if not for my binges like yesterday! I don't really regret it, but it doesn't help me move forward. moving past it though, bc now it's all I can do.
12pm: cooked steamed veggies 130
600, good! :)
1pm Lunch: microwavable eggplant rollettes, tofu, shirataki noodles. may eat half now, some later. 200 total. (200 leftover), chips 100, one of those bars I ordered 230 (overall good calories for lunch @530cal)
1150 or so..
3pm strawberries 50
1200...
4:40: greek yogurt and chocolate chip cliff bar 400
1600...
goal today is 1750.
that with yesterday = 2250/day. or if I do still go above calories, i'll try to use tomorrow to balance it as well. because I am not in a mood to limit so much today....
weights tonight, just wishing my ankle and calf pain would stop. I feel it everyday, most of the day.
Under 2200, fine.
No exercise.
