finally downloaded the 5K app that has spoken intervals.

it’s so annoying to keep checking my phone for times on a stopwatch! woo. off again to run tomorrow morning. 

3 lbs away from my prom goal? woo!

i can do it! this long 5 day weekend is all about intense cardio sweat sessions and loading on the veggies. 

I CAN DO THIS. (165 here i come, then it’s only 5 more lbs to 160! ahh!) 

phew!

went running (in the fog and mist) and got a reeeeeaaaalllly good arm workout in!

Did the first day of chest and triceps.. holy shit. my arms are jello! 

Cooking is going really well. I’m prepping meats every three days (turkey/chicken muffins, Tilapia, etc) starches at the beginning of the week (Quinoa, etc.)

Breakfast:

• Four egg white omelet with bell pepper (i really can’t stomach more than that first thing in the morning). 
• On a slice of Ezekiel Bread (starch+Protein+veg)

Mid-morning (too early for meat, so i chose a small meal option)

• 6oz plain greek yogurt (Fage) + 1 Cup raspberries 

Lunch:

• 4oz Tilapia + Spinach salad (1 Cup)
• 1/4 cup quinoa 

Mid-afternoon

• 2 Turkey muffins (sounds gross, but it’s more like big meatballs)
• 1 Cup Spinach salad 

Dinner:

• More tilapia (for now, looking into other lean meats)
• 1/2 Cup black beans (starch) 
• bell pepper strips 

Evening (how long did it take people to start being able to eat this last meal? i’m so FULL) 

GAH! i’m not usually up this late, so sitting here doing hw, hunger is setting in! i need to go to bed before i implode! 

(thank god i live on the third floor, no kitchen to tempt me. focus.) 

Food Diary: guess who’s finally back in the 160s!

you guys know how hard it was for me gaining that weight back a couple months ago, but this is finally the incentive i need to keep going! this cruise is major motivation! 

Breakfast:

• Fage 0% yogurt (100 cal, 2pp)
• 1/2 cup strawberry halves
• 1 tbsp flax seed. 

UGH.

My mom is going to get some food for if we don’t have power in the wake of this hurricane thing. and he goes:

“do you want me to pick you up any hurricane snacks?”

NO MOM I DON’T WANT CHIPS/COOKIES/SHIT LIKE THAT. 

i know she doesn’t mean to, but those things are not helpful to my progress, and actually really bothers me. 

ever since my derailing, i’ve been trying to figure out ways to keep me on track. one was listing some of my weaknesses/triggers. doing this helps me visualize what is toxic/what i definitely do not need in my life. 

1. fatty breakfast foods (pancakes, bacon, etc)

2. oreos

3. salted tortilla chips

i’m sure there’s more, but this is right now.
