Here we go....

303!  I went down a pound in 24 hours!
Still dehydrated though!  darn 64 oz of water is killing me. And my bladder!  So, I made it through another under 1500 calorie day! Woot!
Also, prepped everything for tomorrow's lunch and snacks.  I'll make bfast in the morning, and then dinner when I get home.  I was supposed to make the tuna melt, but I might try to use up the turkey, or make chicken since it will go bad soon. Maybe make some for dinner and tomorrow's lunch.  Yeah, that sounds like a plan!
So I need to devise a plan now that I'm finally going back to work, b/c I eat so early in the day, and I can't change that!
Like tomorrow I have a delay, so I'm going to eat bfast at 6:30/7, eat my snack at 9:30, school starts at 10, eat lunch at 11:30ish, and snack at 3:10 with drama. Then dinner is at 6ish!
So here's the plan on Purple days:
Eat bfast at 7/7:30, eat snack at 10:40, eat my lunch at 1:30, my break time, and eat snack at 4.
On White days there is a problem.  Right now, I'm going to have to skip snack. Like I'll need to eat breakfast, then lunch at 10:40, then snack at 3:10, then dinner at 5.  I have no break after 10:40! Boo!

Oh well, tis the way of it.  I can't get up before 5:30....and sometimes not even then.  I'm so not a morning person.

Walked 1.1 miles today in less time than yesterday! YAY!

Also made those portabella mushroom pizzas. Turned out well, tasted good, lost most of them to the oven!  I dropped the pan, and it sucked.  I had a huge mess to clean up!

I also made this dip and tried jicama.  It's a Mexican potato, kind of, that tastes like a radish, a juicy, apple like radish. The dip, I was nervous about. I used Almond instead of pb, b/c I have a student alergic to pb, then tofu, honey, and lime.  It is surprisingly excellent!  Now let's just hope the jicama goes well with it!

Also prepped my fruit for tomorrow, and had an extra glass of milk today b/c I was lacking.

This week will be better for eating more though. I HAVE to get up early so I will eat most of my meals!  I keep getting up late, and therefore not eating breakfast or morning snack!  Not good! Need to go to bed much earlier.  With getting up early tomorrow, and such a late sleep, I will probably be more tired, and at least go to bed on time tomorrow night!
That is, if we have school of course...
Then there is always the issue more winter weather this coming weekend....ugh!

Ahhhh....it's too late to be up and typing on my journal that no one will ever read but me.  HOWEVER, that is ok, b/c I was reading day 4, and I'm supposed to write it down.  Not just my calories and food, but also why I'm doing this, and feelings of negativity drawing me to eat. Right now, my reasoning is clearer each day:
1. I want to keep up with my friends in Peru
2. I want to feel energetic, youthful, and beautiful.  I am in the eyes of God, but I still don't feel it.
3. I went to the doctor today, and she hasn't found something wrong with me yet, but I'm sure it is weight related. TOO mush fat in my blood for sure. Yuck! I saw it! I need to get healthy.  My life depends on it, my future depends on it, my students depend on it! My family depends on it.  I want to have kids some day....and they depend on it!  I DEPEND ON IT! 

So, God, Please help me.  That is the only thing in this book I can't agree with, that it is all up to me, to empower myself, to be selfish, etc. I can't be selfish, but I CAN cut out the unimportant things in my life that take up time, like laziness! So please help me to work at this.  I cannot do this alone. Help me to become a healthier, stronger person. The person I know I can be!  Thank you GOD!

Night!

P.S. If I do find that I have a reader, even just one, I will put recipes up if you like...if you comment to let me know ;-)
