Well, it's been a good day. I had my mini-orals with Reber (that sounds dirrrty) and they went well. I finished my paper and it's not bad, not necessarily good either though...whatev. Ate all day long somehow and now just sitting! Here's an estimate of what I consumed:
Breakfast:
frittat (egg scramblers, mushrooms, potato, tomatoes, onions and cheese) 4 pts
coffee with milk
Snack:
Coffee with milk
Lunch:
Baked Doritos 3 pts
carrots/broccoli with 2 tbsp ranch 3
Snack:
Orowhat thin and w.w. cream cheese 2
Dinner:
Salad 1
lean cuisine 6
Snack:
Yogurt 1
p.b. 2
w.w. cheese/turkey 2
So over by 1 point (24 total) but not too bad. Especially considering I was soooo hungry. Oh wait, I did have a cinnamon roll. Dammit! It was homemade and worth every point/calorie. Probably 8? Take that out of my weekly allowance. Dammit Kezia. Better luck tomorrow. :)

Day 4
Okay, so after a good day yesterday I'm trying to keep it going. Somehow those sacrifices of yesterday make me feel that I deserve a treat. But we all know I don't. Ha ha. I'm at Blue Chip working on my paper and it smells so delish that I want some food but lord knows it's not exactly healthy. Maybe I'll slip over to Hy-vee and get some saltines and fruit. Or yogurt? Can you do that? Bring food into here? OR oh my gosh, get a smoothie from next door. yeeeeah.
Breakfast:
oatmeal (3)
p.b. (2)
coffee with milk (1)
Snack
saltines (2)
w.w. american cheese (1)
coffee, coffee and more coffee (1)
Snack:
soft pretzel (6?)
Snack:
popcorn (1)
orowheat thin and cream cheese (2)
Lunch?:
Salad (3)
Oh my gosh, too many carbs today. Plus too much time to think about being hungry. It's only 7:15 and I've used 22 of my 23 points. And I haven't eaten dinner nor do I feel full. In fact, I feel hungry. Crap! I think crackers, popcorn and orowheat thins should not all be consumed in the same day. So soup for dinner. On a brighter note, I did buy a pair of patent black kitten heels for $10 last minute for my recital and I've discovered they're my new favorite shoes. Not bad for $10.
End to Day 4:
1/2 a bag of broccoli
2 tbsp hummus
1/2 cucumber
honey bunches of oats (sans milk) 2 cups?
So I kind of killed it with the cereal but Nathan brought it and it's like my crack. Still, that kind of snacking is better than what I ate a year ago: pizza, chips, candy. It feels good. Oh and my paper is done so I'm going to read myself to sleep. Good day, overall a damn good day.

Day 3
Well, I went to my W.W. meeting today and was up 2 lbs. Now, that's obviously noooo good and now I know the damage of vodka gimlets, jimmy john's, burgers and candy in such excess as I consumed them. Having said that, I am more motivated now to lose the total 2.8 I gained in the last 3 weeks than if I had weighed in at or below last week's weight so there's the silver lining. I had a strong start to my eating today, check it out:
breakfast:
1/2 frtta (3 pts)
orowheat thin (1)
w.w. cream cheese (1)
sugar-free, + fiber jam (0)
coffee with milk (1)
And I've already downed 45 ounces of water....ooh, plus I worked out for 55 minutes ans surely managed to sweat out all the vodka from last night. So it's doubly good for me! Now, here's to hoping the rest of the day goes well....brb.
Okay, part 2 of the Day 3:
Lunch:
smoothie (4pts) -- this is a guesstimate, I think it was more like 3...but better overestimate than under. and I LOVE smoothies!!!!
Dinner:
1/2 cup rice (wild/white/brown mix) (4)
1/3 lean ground beef (3)
1/4 black beans (1)
1 slice w.w. american cheese (1)
Snack:
raspberry mint tea (0!)
So not bad overall. But I'm quite hungry and it's only 9:15 and I need to write so let's hope this tea carries me over. As for my mental health I've done very little today but some good things happened. Like I found a paper worth recycling, my boss approved my San Diego trip and my auntie's helping me out. Stay tuned for tomorrow!
p.s. I used 19 of my 23 points but now I'm getting McDonald' ice cream (3) so....yeah, well done! Which is a good treat for a job well done on my Schubert. Heheh.

Day 2
Well, today is off to a better start than yesterday. I hope to hit the gym and I have NO excuse not to except that I don't reeeeeally want to go. I've decided to get rid of a LOT of my clothes. Luckily, many of them just don't fit well anymore and I think that by keeping them around I'm giving myself the option of gaining weight. That's NOT good. So I'm going to work on that in a few....write more later. I just know you're dying to hear more!
Breakfast:
fritta (egg scramblers, tomatoes, potato, mushrooms, onions, lunch meat)
coffee with skim milk
(not bad kezia, not bad at all)
Okay, so here's the follow up of yesterday:
Lunch:
rice, beans, ground beef and cheese
1/2 yogurt
vodka and crystal light
vodka gimlet (2) and vodka cranberry (double)
Can you sense a theme here? So all that vodka caught up with me and after seeing Finn Riggins (which was awesome!) I downed a Jimmy John's Slim 5 (which is anything but slim b/c it packs salami, provolone and some other fatty meat) and salt & vinegar chips (which frankly should be illegal in bags that market themselves as 1 serving but are actually 2!!!!!!!!!!!!). Don't worry, I'm not really thinking it should be illegal but the truth is that even thin or fit people (which are not necessarily the same!) don't need that kind of food. The Midwest should do what they do in Seattle which is blatanly post the calories/fat/nutrition info. at the menu. Because no matter what your metabolism does for your body your inner organs do not need saturated fat, massive quantities of sodium, processed food, etc. Let's get healthy people! Especially since I just found out K.C., Mo is the 6th fattest city in the country!!!!

Day 1
Okay so I've decided to do a wellness blog....my goal is to write even the tiniest bit everyday as recap of the daily improvement of my physical and mental well-being. Mostly I want to journal my eating habits because after losing 30lbs I'm in a bit a rut or easily distracted by pizza, beer and other things. So here it goes!
Today I ate horribly from the very start.
Breakfast: coffee with milk and pb&j tortilla wrap (not bad)
Church time snack: 5 cookies....shiiit son. And not teeny tiny ones but saucer-sized ones made from scratch with loads of butter, sugar and coconut. Heavens.
Lunch: I'm not sure I actually had this?
Snack: rice with black beans and low-fat cheddar cheese (probably passes as lunch?)
something else not so healthy but I can't remember what.
Dinner: 2-egg scramble with turkey, tomatoes, low-fat cheese, mushrooms and onions
double-fiber whole wheat english muffin with REAL butter
(oops, i'll just poo it out though with all that fiber)
So no fresh fruits or really any fresh veggies, lean protein was ok, too much fat and not enough filling foods. Damn. I blame church and those cookies. God provided them. On a happier note, I took the day for myself to regroup. I cleaned thoroughly (minus my roommate's tower of crusty, week-old dishes), did laundry and spent a good hour or so at Hastings reading gossip magazines. That is perhaps my favorite indulgent waste of time! I love going alone and sitting anonymously gorging on the tabloids and all the useful information they have to offer. So tomorrow's got to start stronger...I see it ending weakish because we're supposed to go downtown and drink but like most things I think will happen it probably won't. And that might save me some calories! Okay, eat well, be well, and make wise choices. Ta-ta!
