Today was a good day in general. I had a great day with work, school was good, but most of all I de-cluttered my room. This may be crazy but if my room is messy or cluttered it makes me feel all weird. I feel a lot less stressed if I have a clean, simple room. I threw out 2 bags of old stuff and put together a box filled with stuff for my mom to sell at a future garage sale. I also am giving 2 bags of clothes away to charity. I got rid of my old bathing suits, all my old pairs and leggings and a bunch of sweaters that were too big. It is always a great feeling to get rid of like, the 7th bag of "fat" clothes!
What also pulled me out of my blahness was a lot of compliments today. At school I had 3 people ask "Have you lost more weight?!" So great to have your hard work recognized. To top it off I found this picture...
This was 2 months before I started my journey I was a size 22/24. I am NEVERNEVERNEVER going back. I will keep that promise to myself until the day I leave this earth.
Here is my journal from today:
Breakfast: Eggwhite & cheese on whole wheat toast: 175
Strawberries: 25
Coffee: 50
Total: 250
Snack: Greek yogurt w/ blueberries: 170
Lunch: Vegetable soup: 100
Turkey on whole wheat: 170
Total: 270
Snack: Rice cake: 30
Apple: 80
Total: 110
Dinner: 4 oz. Salmon: 175
2/3 cup brown rice: 150
Salad w/crasins & light walnut vinaigrette: 190
Total: 515
Snack: Pistachios: 160
Total: 1475 calories.
Water: 80oz.
I ate 6 times today and still am 135 calories under my 1600 goal. Eating 3 smaller meals a day, and 3 snacks will help you maintain your metabolism. Not eating for long periods of time will slow it down, and make it that much more difficult to lose anything!
