Day...ugh.

169 again. *sigh*
Then again, I earned it.
This weekend was a DISASTER (not capital "D").
I started out meaning to be good by making a huge vat of my famous "magic soup". It's delicious and low-cal...the only trouble is that it is mega-high-sodium, so I was reluctant to do it so close to weigh-in day ( a reluctance which appears justified!). Anyhow, I ended up snacking on carbs ALL DAY on Saturday...soup and sugar-cinnamon pita chips...stayed within my calorie range, but set myself up for the carnage of Sunday.

Sunday BEGAN with Movie Theater Butter popcorn and ended up with a freshly baked layer cake. Dear Lord- do you KNOW how many calories are in layer cake? No? Well, I won't ruin the rest of your life by telling you....a LOT- which, coincidentally, is the same amount of cake that I ate. Frankly, I was astonished to see anything in the 60's this morning when I stepped onto the scale.

I meant to be back on the wagon today, but it ended up going all to hell. I was set to go to court in Carter County all day- but got called to the bench. My secretary had sent a message that Susan was sent home from school for being sick, SO I had to make the drive back and spend my entire day at home NOT working...I didn't have much juice at the gym tonight. I ran (well, WALKED for 15 mins, ran for 10 :$) and then decided I would try the weights instead of doing the bike and the eliptycahoweveryouspellit. Ugh. It is AMAZING how quickly you (meaning I) get weak! I could barely lift my gym bag and I lifted an embarassingly small amount of weight!

Ah, well...I'm within my calories this week. I'm going to put in a white strip and then my retainer in the hopes of staying on track.

Day...whatthehellever

Friday is going to be dubbed "So-so"...I'm still not asleep (although I AM typing this from bed). There was some good along with bad.

In the "good" column, I went to lunch at Toro Loco's for a pre-Cinco de Mayo celebration and limited myself to only 10 chips, NO sour cream on the chips, and just the onions and shrimp from my fajitas (no tortillas, no beans, no rice). It was still a fattening lunch, but I felt in control the whole time, which is an achievement.

Dinner was rather decadent: Pizza Hut meat lover's pizza...Mmmmmmmm, I had two pieces (they SMALLEST two!) and then a 100 calorie pack for dessert...and I also gave in to the temptation of pita chips...so I probably went over in total calories for the day- alas.

Workout-wise, I did better...ran 2 miles (and I was flat-out RUNNING at 5.2 mph at at least a 1.0 up to a 3.0 incline), biked 5 miles and elyptical-ed for 10 mins...Did my sit-ups too, although it was technically after midnight when I did.

After gymming, I went to the tanning bed again. I think I'm FINALLY getting a smidge of color.

I'm going to make some homemade chicken noodle soup tomorrow...VERY delicious, but VERY sodium-y :/ I hate eating something like that right before Weigh-in. However, it is too much work to make from scratch on a weekday.

Days...9 and 10? I'm losing track

Okay, I'm going to have to come up with a new post title, because I've hopelessly lost track.

Yesterday was a good day- finished under in calories and really kicked it at the gym.

Today...not so good. I'm still in range (although 1500 feels high for me), but I had taco bell tacos and McDonald's ice cream...and I've decided that pita chips are little sugar bombs that I should avoid...I'm going to try to eat more wholeomely tomorrow.

Skipped TKD tonight...actually, I suited up and went to class, but they were sparring, and I HATE sparring.
