I woke up this morning and had a little bit of extra time before I needed to start getting ready, so at 6:00am I had a small bowl of Fiber Plus Caramel Pecan Crunch cereal. At 8:00am I had a lara bar and at 11:00am I had some red grapes. For lunch I was going to have the leftover half of my turkey avocado sandwich from Togo's, but I didn't think about the avocado on the sandwich. It was all brown and nasty looking, so I threw that away. I ended up eating some cut up cantaloupe and a Fiber Plus bar and had a 12 oz. Low Fat Caramel Granita to drink. For dinner, my husband wanted to get some fast food. You may be thinking that's mean of him to want fast food when I'm trying to lose weight, but I don't want to make him stop eating what he wants to eat just because I want to lose weight. He should be able to eat what he wants to. If he want's to diet with me then there will be a lot less fast food/pizza eating. Anyways, I have the Eat This Not That book, so I looked in there to see what they suggested for certain places. The one that sounded the best to me was Wendy's. The book's rating for Wendy's is a B+, basically because they have side choices like mandarin oranges and chili, and they have Jr. burgers that aren't much more than 300 calories. But where Wendy's is bad is all their double & triple burgers and lost of desserts. Ok anyways, they suggest a double stack and small chili, which together have 550 calories & 24 grams of fat. It also says together they have 37 grams of protein and 6 grams of fiber, that sounds good to me. So that's what I got for dinner. And as I was on Wendy's site trying to help my husband decide on what to eat I saw they had this Berry Frosty Parfait thing, so we got that and shared it. It was a lot smaller than I thought it was going to be and it wasn't all the great. I would rather make my own with fresh fruit and frozen yogurt. After dinner I worked out to the first video challenge from Tone It Up. Tone It Up is 2 girls, Karina & Katrina, and I guess lots of celebrities follow their nutritional plans and their workouts. So I joined their Fall Challenge and you get a calendar of challenges for the month of September. Today was the Detention workout. (link: http://toneitup.com/blog.php?Detention-Workout-5175 ) You should all try it! Or at least watch it and see what I did. =) It was really hard for me, especially the part where you have to be in a plank position on an exercise ball and write out the words "I will tone it up" with the ball. I did the circuit 2 times, they recommend you do it 2-3 times and I was sweating! I went and laid on the floor in our guest bedroom after doing this because it's a lot cooler in there and my dog (he's a boxer bullmastiff) came over and sat right on my stomach. It was hilarious! He just sat there like it's normal for him to sit on me. He seemed pretty comfortable too, lol. He thinks he's a lap dog and he's definitely not.
So today I weighed 236.4, down .4 lbs. from yesterday. That's good, still going down. I haven't been doing so well with drinking water. I think it might be because I bring a big water bottle to work with me instead of bringing a 20 oz bottle of water. I think I'll try bringing a 20 oz. bottle instead and see if I drink more water. That's it for now!
