Ugh.
A lot going on. All of us have been sick. Twice. Terrible. Sickliest October on record. We didn't bother to go to the doctor to see if we had h1n1 or any of that nonsense. Wasn't worth the copay for them to not do anything for us, so we just didn't bother.
We continue to be broke, although D did get a short term/high pay project that should take some pressure off, at least temporarily, so that's cool.
Jilly's birthday party is this weekend. I can't even begin to fathom how insanely I'm going to have to clean my house. We're not even doing a super big thing--only about 15-20 people, but still. It's kind of a big deal.
I feel like Jilly is getting bigger every day, and I just love her to pieces.
Halloween was a bust for a thousand reasons.
We were supposed to go down to the city for a big party, and we were supposed to do these fancy costumes, but the person who's friends' house we were supposed to go to didn't come through on his costumes or D's, and his car broke down to boot, so that whole thing was out the windown. Then we got sick, and I couldn't finish sewing ours. Then, I bought Jilly a tutu and figured I'd just dress her up like that, but then someone got murdered in the basement apartment nextdoor on Halloween, so...umm...yeah. That kind of ruined the holiday.
Yeah. Shot twice in the next door apartment.
No one was home in my building. D was at CLE. I was at the grocery store with Jilly and Bill. I got home to find every imaginable emergency vehicle around my house. It was a nightmare. Seriously, the chick who rents the apartment called the police at 3:15, and I got home at 3:30. Awesome. Anyhow, my entire house, and my yard, which we share with that building, were all taped off with crime scene tape. I literally couldn't leave my house without talking to the cops, the news, and a CSI team, so we kind of decided to lay low.
As to the whole murder thing, I didn't know him, so I'm not upset on the personal front,and since it was almost certainly an inside job, I'm not really worried or afraid for myself or my family since I don't believe we've exactly got it coming if you know what I mean. It wasn't random violence, so I'm not too worried basically.
That being said, I was still pretty shaken up about it though for obvious reasons.
So...yeah. That's my update.
I'm going to try to post more.
I keep saying that, but I do meant it. God knows I spend enough time doing NOTHING on the internet. Maybe it would be more compelling if more people did it, but people in general haven't been updating much, and the community has been so quiet, it's kind of a bummer, especially because I could really use soemthimg positive like that.
Anyhow, with that, I'm off to sleep.
By the way, have I mentioned that I have off tomorrow? I am so loving that.
I'm going to run on the treadmill, play with Jilly, and clean. Maybe I'll even update. = P

Ok. So something is making me want to EAT. Last night, my downstairs neighbor brought up these damnable flourless peanut butter bars, after I told him I didn't want any part in his baked good debauchery, and tempted me with them. I'll be damned if I didn't want to eat the whole damn pan. Ugh. I had the teensiest bite and then waved them away.
Worse still, I've been sick and have been feeling simply too run down to run, so I haven't really been working out hardcore really. I've been walking a litttle, doing some pilates abs, and doing some yoga, but that's it really. Nothing even remotely cardiovascular. I'm hoping to run today.
Feeling fat even though my weight is as stuck as it ever is.
Bfast: whole wheat english muffin, eggwhites, low fat cheese, coffee with soy milk
Lunch: sandwich with whole wheat bread, turkey, lettuce, tomato, avocado, and mustard
Snack: ???
Dinner: homemade lentil soup with turkey burger
Fin.
I'm going to rely on tea to help keep me from munching additionally. It's the only way.
On a side note, I caved and bought these ADORABLE shoes. (Two pairs! What's wrong with me? Whatever. I'm not sorry! Don't judge!) I planned my entire outfit around them today, and everyone told me I look amazing and that my shoes are super cute. YAY! Talk about a boost for the ol' self esteem!!
So cute. Both pairs are suede. One pair black. One pair brown. Both make it look like you have legs forever. So cute. <3

Ok. Can we talk?
Because seriously, my stomach is starting to freak me out.
Don't get me wrong. It looks better than it's ever looked since baby.
When I stand up or lie flat, my stomach looks fine. Hell it looks pretty decent even. It's flat. I no longer look pregnant. You can even see some definition emerging. Life is good.
Until I sit down...especially if I slouch even a little, this spare tire of flab comes out of nowhere, this mysterious puddle of flesh just descends. It's totally disgusting. I never want to sit again. It's not untoned muscle. I can't tell if it's fat, and it's basically that all of the last 5-10 pounds I need to lose are all on my mid section or if it's loose, extra skin from the pregnancy that just aren't going to go away. I don't get it! What is it, and more importantly, WILL IT GO AWAY??? Or will it at least shrink? Or as I lose weight will it just contine to get crepey and weird looking? Help? So many women have children, and yet no one talks about this. Wtf?
Things otherwise are looking good. Legs and bum are looking good. Arms and upper body are looking good. But I'm not gonna lie: I've always been an abs girl at heart.
Don't get me wrong; I'm not sorry. I wouldn't trade Jilly for anything, but this gut is just gross, and it makes me feel FAT. Everytime I sit I basically never want to eat again.
Also, WTH isn't the scale moving? I feel like I am eating SO healthy, and I am working out. The scale needs to move. It HAS to move, because right now this is making me feel like I can't eat and lose weight, and that is obviously bad.
The scale.needs.to.move.

Tuesday. Feels like Monday, but I'm loving the idea of a short week this week.
I did wuss out and not workout yesterday because I am totally sore.
Today the Biggest Loser is on, so D and I will lift and do abs and stretch while we watch because that is our Tuesday thing.
The scale.is.not.moving. So annoying.
I don't get it.
I'm going to keep working out like a mad woman because eventually that scale will have to move in the right direction. It's just got to.
Tomorrow I'm running.
Anyhow:
Bfast: whole wheat English muffin w/ peanut butter
Lunch: lean burger on whole wheat toast
Snack: fresh carrot, cucumber, and celery juice (all hail the juicer)
Dinner: falafel w/ homemade hummus
Monday, October 12, 2009
12:27PM
Ok, I'm sore, which means I had a really good workout yesterday.
Yesterday I ran (2.5 miles), walked outside (1.4 miles), and lifted weights and did some abs. I kinda focused on my back because I'm always bending forward because of Jilly, and my back killllllllls.
Yesterday:
Bfast: low fat corned beef hash, egg, coffee and soy milk
Lunch: 1 cup chili
Snack: a few pieces of turkey
Dinner: chicken and veggie stir fry made with Barilla plus noodles
Bvg: 2 glasses red wine
Today:
Bfast: 1 whole wheat english muffin, 2 eggs, 2 pieces bacon, coffee with soy milk
Lunch: sandwich??
Dinner: falafel w/ homemade hummus?
I am sore, so I'm thinking about taking a day off from working out, as much as I don't want to. Maybe I'll run or just do yoga. I don't really want to not workout given that I have today off from work, and I'll be more inclined to not workout later in the week when I have work, you know?
One thing I really need to do is work on costumes. I don't even want to hear what Bill will say if he gets home and sees I've done nothing all weekend. It will not be good, and quite frankly, I'd deserve it since I said, nay...swore up and down, that I would work on them. Instead, I've basically worked out all weekend instead! Worked out, taken baths, given myself masks, you get the idea. Enjoyable, but not what needed to happen for Halloween to happen.
Gah. I am so dehydrated it's not even funny. Gotta push the H2O today. Anyone here use the DailyPlate?

4:32PM
Yesterday we hung out with Mike all day, so I didn't work out. It was my only day off that so far this week.
Today I ran, and we walked Mugs too. Figured it would be best to really get outside and enjoy the beautiful weather. I figure between the walk and the run, I must have burned a ton of calories, which should make up for yesterday.
I think I'll try to run tomorrow and Monday too.
I'm toying with the idea of running either a 5k or a 10k this Thanksgiving.
I really want to lose at least five pounds by the party, and I want to look super in shape. I want to look amazing. Not that anyone will be looking at me really with a cute baby around, but when they do, I want the general consensus to be that I look fabulous!
So far I've had an awesome day. My house is clean; I had a nice breakfast with my family; I played with Jilly; I ran, and we all walked in the park in the sunshine. Best day ever.

7:24PM
I went to the dentist today, and I got a super glowing report, which is a pleasant change. While my teeth are in perfect condition (I'm a proud member of the no-cavities-club), they were always nagging me about my gums, saying that they were a little inflamed. Well, a few months ago, I saw the Sonicare on sale at drugstore.com, and I bought one hoping it would fix the problem, and did it ever! I was a fan of it just because my mouth felt so ridiculously clean after using it, but the dentist was blown away and said everything is drastically improved, so I'm pretty psyched. I feel like a kid who just aced a test. How sad is that? Lol...
In other news, I'm in the middle of planning Jilly's first birthday. I can't believe she turns one in less than a month! How can that be? I can't even believe it. I mean, people always tell you that time flies and that children grow up so fast, but all I can say is you never really understand until you have your own. It's amazing. The one caveat is pregnancy. I felt like that actually slowed the passage of time. Anyhow, the party is just going to be a low key sort of thing we'll be having at the house, lots of family...foood...etc. It'll be interesting because it will be the first even I'll host with extended family at the house! I just wish I had more money for decorations and things...
Anyhow, on to the inevitable..
Woo hooo! Did 45 minutes of yoga yesterday and 30 minutes of pilates today. All I have to say, is man my abs are weak. My back's been feeling a bit out of sorts, so I figured the weak, post-baby abs are probably to blame, so I think I'm going to bring pilates back into the mix.
I'm thinking I want my workouts to look like this:
Running- 2-3x a week
Weights-1x a week
Yoga- at least 1x a week
Pilates- at least 1x a week
I feel like that's pretty well-rounded, so I won't get bored, and I feel like all of these things really offer something different. Nothing burns calories like running. Weights are so focused, and nothing seems to tone and work large muscle groups quite like lifting. Nothing stretches and relaxes like yoga does, and I feel like my little supporting, stabilizing muscles get the best workout from yoga. Obviously nothing works the core like pilates does. So yeah, for now, that is my plan.
Right now I'm on a roll, and I feel great. I feel like working out is especially important for me with all this yucky darkness and holiday eating and all of that coming up. Plus, I really just want to get in shape and feel fit and strong again.
Today:
Bfast: whole wheat bagel, whipped cream cheese, lox, coffe w/ soymilk
Lunch: 1 pack of sugar free oatmeal
Snack: 1 egg on whole wheat toast
Dinner: vegetarian panini on whole wheat bread w/ goat cheese, roasted eggplant, sundried tomatoes, spinach, and garlic. Yummmmmm....
Bvg: Guinness or wine

9:37PM
Yeah food scale. I used it today to check my serving size of meat during dinner, which was awesome. It dedinitely helped me keep my portions in check and kept me from overeating. Woo hoo!
Today: 1 whole wheat english muffin, half with peanut butter, half with smart balance spread
Lunch: grilled chicken and roasted veggie sandwich, no cheese..unfortunately on white ciabatta bread...didn't end up eating about 1/3 of bread due to whit-carb induced guilt...anyone's guess how many calories were in that.
Nosh: a few bites of candied ginger
Dinner: 6.4 oz london broil (350), 1 cup homemade sweet potato-carrot soup (335)=685
Bvg: glass of red wine
Excercise:45 minutes yoga

10:38PM
Today I did well.
I ran, and I lifted. Go me!
Bfast: 2 eggs, 1 piece whole wheat toast, coffee w/ soymilk
Lunch: 1 serving roasted veggie soup
Snack: a few pieces of candied ginger
Dinner: whole grain pasta, sausage, sundried tomatoes, spinach, garlic, and parm cheese
And now I'm waiting on some chamomile tea...
I figured a super good day was in order because yesterday was not so good.
I made chicken and veggie curry with brown rice for dinner yesterday. It was delicious, and I did what I could in that I used a 1/4 less coconut than was called for, and I used skim milk instead of whole or cream, but still the coconut...ugh. Plus, I had wine because our friend who came over for dinner bought us a bottle. So today, I was good. In fact, I was very good. Yesterday is erased!
Tomorrow, I'm thinking yoga.
I feel like this week is dragging.
Speaking of dragging, I am dragging my feet on our Halloween costumes, and I really need to get the ball rolling on that. I seriously need some motivation.

1:30PM - Hurray for Saturdays!
So far...
Breakfast: 1 whole wheat english muffin (120) + 1 egg (70)=190
Lunch: 1 whole wheat pita (140), lettuce, tomato, 2 slices bacon (70), mayo (100)=310
Snack: veggie juice lowfat pumpkin shake
Snack2: 1 slice of pumpkin bread
Dinner: homemade roasted veggie soup and a turkey burger
Bvgs: Social beer
Ok. I had to have the pumpkin bread because I had just baked 2 loaves of the stuff, and I had to taste a piece to make sure it didn't suck.
The pumpkin shake was kind of my own invention to use the leftover pumpkin from the ginormous can that I used to make the bread.
About 2 cups pumpkin, 1 cup low fat plain yogurt, about 1/2 cup of sugar, 1 tsp vanilla extract, 1 tsp cinnamon, 1 tsp nutmeg, and 1/2 tsp allspice, about 5-6 cubes of ice, and a dash of vanilla soy milk. Blend until smooth and serve. This makes about 3-4 shakes depending on the size of the glass you use, and man are they yummy. By my calculations, pretty good for you too. Divided into 4 shakes, that's not much sugar, and pumpkin and plain yogurt are quite low in calories, high in vitamins A, C, and D, high in protein and fiber, low in fat, and high in probiotics. Also, After I drank it, I was pretty full. It was like Autumn in a glass, liquid pumpkin pie!
Today's plan:
Bfast: 2 small slices of pumpkin bread w/ whipped cream cheese, coffee w/ soy milk
Lunch: leftover roasted veggie soup
Snack: a few pieces of deli turkey, fresh veggie juice
Dinner: at a friend's house
Here's my list for today:
-Go running!
-Fold laundry
-Do mask
-Make 2 apple pies (one to bring over for dessert to dinner tonight)
-Take shower and deep condition hair
-If I have time, figure out my circular needles and start that hat..

12:54PM
Yesterday's food was total and utter crap.
Today: Whole wheat english muffin with peanut butter, coffe w/ soy milk
Lunch: 1 cup split pea soup
Evil snack: 1 Table Talk pumpkin pie= 370 calories GAH
Dinner: Barilla plus pasta w/ homemade red sauce and mini meat balls and salad w/ light vinaigrette
Here is where it all went wrong....
Red wine
Berry tart made w/ splenda
Ok. Either the pie, the wine, or the tart...ONE of them would have been fine. All three are criminal. It was a horrible perfect storm. A coworker bought me the pie; my husband bought the wine as a treat (we've been trying to save money, so we haven't really had much wine around), and my neighbor made the tarts. I'm no good at saying no to people. Never have been. BAH.
Anyhow, today must be flawless.
Bfast: tart and coffee I figure the tart is about 200 calories, which is fine because my rule for breakfast is that it MUST be under 300.
Lunch: eggs on whole grain toast w/ veggie juice
Snack: orange
Dinner: brown rice...lentils? I don't really know. I'll figure this out after I pick up my CSA and see what's in it.
Also, going running today and chugging water. I think a fair amount of today's weigh in was dehydration bloooooat and salt from the soup. Not cute.
Definitely going running today. Gonna burn some calories and sweat the salt o.u.t. Also, with everything being so grey today, I think I need some endorphins or osmething. It's all so blah!!
For some reason, my skin has looked amazing lately. Don't know why, but that's good enough for me.
Also, LOVING rooibos tea. <3 <3 <3
And one more thing: trying the GoSmile system. My love all things smile-staining has kinda caught up with me. Coffee. Tea. Red wine. Red sauce. Dark chocolate. Can a girl get a break? I think my teeth are aging me, and I haaate them. Plus, my skin is super fair, so it doesn't take much staining to make my teeth darker than my skin, and let's face it...that is not pretty. So when I got an email saying the GS system was being sole on HauteLook for a tiny fraction of the price, I went for it. Stay tuned......

5:02PM
Ok.
Exercise has continued to be good.
I ran Sunday. I ran Monday. I lifted weights for like an hour at home yesterday.
I'm down about 3 pounds. Now I only have about 8 to my goal. I'm getting there. Mini goal is to lose 3 more pounds. That will put me in a new set of ten, and that always gets me going. I'm fairly confident if I lose these last pounds, I will be able to get in some of my 2s again. After I lose the 8, I'll see where I stand. At that point, I may need to lose 5 more depending on how things fit, but there's no way I'll need to lose more than that.
Today food has not been great.
Today: Whole wheat english muffin with peanut butter, coffe w/ soy milk
Lunch: 1 cup split pea soup
Evil snack: 1 Table Talk pumpkin pie= 370 calories GAH
Dinner: ?
Yesterday:
Breakfast: egg on toast
Lunch: veggie pattie on lite bread
Dinner: chicken breast and homemade split pea soup
My coworker heard me complaining about the lack of pumpkin puree in stores, so she bought me a mini one, and I ate it. Ugh. Must be good for dinner.
I have a bunch of cleaning to do today, and I do.not.feel.like.doing.it. Bleeeeh.

12:03PM
Weekend was good but too short. Went to a cousin's 10th birthday yesterday and spend most of Saturday doing a deep Autumn clean, you know the sort where you run around the house like a crazy person scrubbing down each appliance and every surface in your house? Yeah. Pretty good!
Workouts have been good! I've been enjoying short runs lately.
Food has been dreadful. Must. Log. Food. I keep saying this and not doing it. Wtf? It's liek I have some stupid protective mechanism in my head that is trying to keep me from succeeding. Ugh. Must food journal. It is the only way to beat this stupid plateau.
Gah. We are so broke, and it is so annoying. It sucks that D and I have basically gaduated into an economic apocolypse. BOO.
Jilly is awesome. I feel like she's turning into a little person, and I just love watching her do her baby thing. It is beyond cute. She's crawling and standing and just exploring and investigating every little thing, and it is just so fun.
Mad Men is rocking my socks. Please tell me someone out there is watching that kick ass show!
I took today off. It's Yom Kippur, and that seems like a good enough reason to me. I plan on working out, playing with Jilly, trying to read a bit maybe, and finally getting out the circular needles and starting that hat...
Today needs to be low because I feel like I ate gross food yesterday and the day before.
Oh right, and this whole thing...This is my plan. So far I've had breakfast, but I'll update as I go...
Bfast: whole wheat english muffin, smart balance, coffee with soy milk
Lunch: fresh veggie juice, 1 egg on toast 1 tbsp peanut butter
Snack: more veggie juice veg. chick pattie, no bread
Dinner: lean pot roast w/ roasted squash, carrots, potatoes, and salad

9:49PM - Feeling random.
First I had a cold, and then I got a stomach bug, and then (the other day) I got a powerpeel, which meant I couldn't sweat for a few days.
It's been two days, and I am back on the workout/good eating wagon.
Wooooooooooooooo hoo.
Father in law said I looked to be losing weight. I think that was just because I was in a huge pair of size 6 pants, but I'll take what I can get.
And while it may be so, I am sorely in need of some toning. In my quest to tone up my abs I have seriously neglected my ass. Can we say squats???
Workout and Food ruminations
( Read more... )
Now it's time for random thoughts.
I applied for a job the other day because we need more money. D is still looking for a job, and I should really be trying to see if I can get a job that pays more and actually uses my brand new degree. Makes sense, you know? I really hope something comes of the one I just applied for. The raise would be huge, and it might be something I would actually like. Imagine.
I'm not usually one for tv, but omg. All the stuff I actually like is on now. I wish it could be spread out over the year because there is seriously nothing on for the rest of the year.
Rachel Zoe. I die. Season premier was amazing. I want her life..or at least her job.
True Blood. So good!
Mad Men. So far not as good as previous seasons, but still really good.
Project Runway. Love!
I can't believe DJ AM died. Wtf???
Microdermabrasion is lifechanging and addictive. I think my skincare obsession is officially out of control.
In general, lately I have been really happy. For whatever reason, I haven't even been stressing about money or D's job hunt, which is probably just stupid optimism on my part.
I'm getting back into knitting, but with a twist. One word: HATS. That's right. Everyone is getting a hat from me for Christmas. Hey, if you want a hat, let me know, and I will make you one!
I want to buy things. I continue to not have money.
Things I want:
-Armani lip waxes. I hear they are amazing.
-To die for luxe cardigans.
-Gorgeous flats.
-A perfect trench coat.
-A dress form.
-Really long necklaces.

2:54PM - laid low by cuteness
Ugh. Jilly got a nasty stomach bug on Friday, and D and I have been sick ever since, although we are now on the mend.
My stomach is still kind of in shambles though, and I'm temporarily off food as I'm nauseous, and everything sounds horrible.
Bleeeeeeeeeeh. Hopefully I'll be back to normal soon...I want to get back to working out!

2:15PM
Ok, so I want to formalize my rules because we all know, if you do what you always did, you get what you always had.
1. No food calories after dinner.
2. I will eat breakfast, lunch, one snack at 5:00, and dinner. Nothing else. This means no noshing while cooking, no grazing, etc.
3. Breakfast and need to be about 300 calories each.
Those are the big ones.
Food Goals are as follows:
1. Lean protein
2. Lots of veggies
3. Lots of omega 3s
4. Whole grains ONLY
5. No HFCS
6. As little refined sugar as possible
7. Lots of water
8. Real, clean food
That's pretty much it. Nothing revolutionary here.
Today:
Breakfast: whole grain English muffin (120) w/ peanut butter (190)=310
Lunch: salad greens w/ tomatoes (50), steak (about 3 oz/ 240), veggies, and light Asian dressing (50)=340
Snack: ?
Dinner: falafel, cucumbers, tomatoes, homemade hummus, lettuce, and whole grain pitas
50 per patty
140 per pita
Wednesday, August 19, 2009
2:39PM
So far....
Bfast: 1 pc toast (70), 2 eggs (140), 2 pieces bacon (70)=280
Lunch: salad w/ greens, tomatoes, some chicken breast, and a light balsalmic vinaigrette=250
Snack: ?
Dinner:?
NO alcohol; after dinner nothing with any calories shall pass my lips. NOTHING.
Yesterday:
Bfast: 1 whole wheat english muffin (120), lox (100), whipped cream cheese (50)=270
Lunch: same salad listed above=250
Dinner: shrimp, veggie, and brown rice stir fry =???
Bvg: 1 bailey's irish cream
Dessert: had a few bites of chocolate
Refusals: Refused the smores the boy made and light ice cream sandwhich he had after dinner. Refused the brownies and gave away remaining brownies at the office. Refused to order out with coworkers.
Exercise: Did yoga for about an hour yesterday. It was great. Also thinking more yoga today.
Other good things: I've been drinking TONS of water and roobios tea, which is so good.
Musings and the bottom line: Scale was unkind to me today. Must make more cuts. Breakfast and lunch are flawless and dinner is good...no changes need to be made there, not yet anyways. Thinking I will implement a no calories after dinner policy....
Ok, enough diet blah, blah, blah. I cleaned all my jewelry, and it looks amazing. I don't do that nearly often enough. I'm thinking I'll also freshen up my pedicure today, which will be nice.
TV-wise, I'm all about Mad Men, True Blood, Weeds. and Project Runway, which is starting up soon--tomorrow I think! Gah it's so nice to have something decent to watch. I swear most of what is on tv is total crap.
Work continues to be tres slow and boring. I continue to be dead ass broke, but I keep wanting to buy things, which is torturous. I got paid today, paid my bills, and I am broke again. My account looked great for all of five seconds, but whatever. Why do I keep wanting crap? My life is amazing. I shouldn't always want to buy more, more, more, and I know I shouldn't, but that does not stop the want, want, want.
Jilly is wonderful, wonderful, wonderful, and gets cuter by the minute. Right now she is crawling up a storm, and she is just too excited about it. I love her so much. =)
I still have this stupid cold, but it's almost gone. Gah. Can't wait until it's over and done. Then I can get back to running. Running + yoga + abs= hotness?
Monday, August 17, 2009
12:51PM - Not a good time for this right now
Weigh in was bad. Up a few pounds. How????
My food has been good, and I've been breast feeding so I know I'm burning calories. I haven't been going out to eat.
My guess is not enough water? I don't know. I want to believe it's temporary, but so close on the heels of my friend's visit is not a good time for this to happen.
Bfast: whole wheat English muffin (120), peanut butter (190), coffee=310
Lunch: salad (30) w/ 1/2 cup of chick peas (140)and light dressing (40)=210
Snack: 2 oz of jerky=160
Predinner subtotal=680
Dinner: ??? whatever it is, it will be less than 1020 calories for the rest of the day.
Also, I've been doing light ab work and squats, even though I'm sick. I'm scared to death to do any abdominal work because I'm afraid of wrecking my recti, but I guess we'll see...
Time to chug the water....
Current mood: 
hot
Thursday, August 13, 2009
10:49PM - ugh
I'm sick and feel like crap, but I'm updating anyways!
Bfast: scrambled eggwhites, 2 pieces bacon, 1 piece toast, coffee w/ a dash of soymilk=50+70+70=190, rounding to 200
Lunch: sandwhich w/ lettuce, tomato, 2 pieces bread, turkey and dijonnaise=70+70+100+50=290 and a 100 calorie bag of popcorn for a lunch total of 390, rounding to 400.
Dinner: homemade chili=gah, anyone's guess. 100 calories of homemade guac, about 150 cals of chips, maybe....600 cals of chili? Total of 850?
Dessert: 1 smore= 140
Bvg: 1 shot of vodka on ice=100
Total=almost 1700 on the nose
Nice!
No exercise because I'm sick, but there's always the breastfeeding, so I guess I'm okay with taking it easy until I'm better. Just gonna keep on counting those cals. Weigh in tomorrow.
Current mood: 
sick
