Una ragazza magra

I’m really bummed right now.  My dog ran away Monday night, and I still haven’t found her.  I don’t think it’s really affecting my eating/diet/exercise, but I just wanted to share that.
I think I’m losing weight.  I was down 1.5 this morning from yesterday morning.  I’ve been working out all week, and the plan is [...]

Thought it was time to get back to blogging.  The holidays weren’t terrible for me, but I was definitely not OP for most of it.  I tried to employ some moderation, though, and apparently it worked because I’m now a pound under where I was before Christmas.  I also started working out again today, and [...]

Today was interesting– I got up late, started MQ foods, and then I randomly got asked to go to Chick Fil A nugget night again, which I did.  However, I got the chicken caesar cool wrap instead of all you can eat nuggets (a first for me), and I was just as happy with that [...]

I have been pasty pale for quite a while now.  Normally I’m not a tanning person (I’ve been once in my life before, when I got married).  I’m usually naturally not very pale, but I think swimming during the summer or taking a trip to the beach once a year gives me enough sun to [...]

Well, today went much better eating-wise than yesterday.  I am still technically on metaquick, and then I had a normal (although not technically OP) dinner. 
I also worked out for the second day in a row, and it kicked my butt.  I was sore already from yesterday, but now I can hardly move.  To add to [...]

Today was full of off plan goodies.  I had to go to Panera for breakfast, and then I had a Christmas lunch where I work (we went to TGI Friday’s).  I really have no idea how many calories I had, and I’m really curious because I also worked out today, and I burned about 300 [...]

Today has been off again but still no big problems with calories.  I’m still eating crackers and cheese (it’s easy, and it’s a phase I’m going through, I think), but overall the calories are still fine.  My professor took our class out for drinks tonight, so I had a “bahama breeze”– some pineapple juice, coconut [...]

I haven’t been going crazy off plan, but I just haven’t been very strict with myself.  I’m having crackers instead of my bread or melba toast, I’m having a small (and I mean pretty miniscule) snack here and there, and (gasp) I’ve been eating a couple of pieces of chocolate a day.  This is highly [...]

Well…today was okay– not 100% OP, but my calories were definitely fairly low.  I’m just so busy with end of semester stuff that I don’t have time to cook or plan, so I’ve been grabbing stuff.  Today I subsisted on crackers and cheese, but not much of them, so it worked out okay, I think.
Breakfast: [...]

Despite the two fairly major cheats this weekend, I lost a pound since Friday– go figure.  I was kind of scared to go to WI, but it went okay.  However, I didn’t drink much water today because I forgot my water bottle in the car, and I hadn’t had dinner yet, so perhaps it’s a [...]
