Breakfast:

2 Fried Eggs (fried in spray pam)

Lunch:

2 lightly salted rice cakes

2 TBPLBL (Tablespoons - why can I never remember how do that?) Adam's Peanut Butter

I usually get the chunky version that  you stir but they were out at Wal-Mart - RUDE!

2 Tablespoons Sugar Free Fruit spread - Great Value 

 

1 Fuji apple (again, only ate 1/2)  Note to self:  Bigger does not mean crisper or juicier...I wonder why it's not crispier or juicer?

Note: I only have 4 things that I eat/drink that contain aspartame or any artificial sweetener. Strawberry spread
Sugar Free Raspberry Dressing (will debut at a different date)
Orbit Sweet Mint gum (man, that stuff is so good!)
Crystal Light (on occasion when I need a little vodka 🙂😇 )

Dinner:
1 can Turkey Chili  (yep, the whole can)
1/3 can pineapple chunks in pineapple juice (maybe closer to 1/2)

64 ounces of water

I count calories on the Lose It app (will I be arrested for using all of these brand names?) I try to have between 1200 - 1250 a day, because I'm still trying to lose weight.

1 large fuji apple (I ate 1/2 of it)

And 64 oz of water

What used to be...

I've been thinking a lot about what a typical day was like for me and how many calories, fat and sugar I used to eat.  My typical day used to be:

1 Venti Peppermint Frappucinno  (560 cals  18 grams of fat  88 grams of sugar)

Pumpkin Scone ( 480 cals 17 grams of fat  43 grams of sugar)

or Iced Lemon Pound Cake (470 cals 20 grams of fat  42 grams of sugar)

OR

A bottled frapp (100 calories 3 grams of fat 11 grams of sugar)

Hostess Cupcakes (170 calories 6 grams of fat 21 grams of sugar)

Lunch 

Usually a bean and cheese burrito (homemade) (About 500 calories)

or 

Nachos (about 500 calories)

or 

Eating out somewhere

or 

Hot Pockets (330 calories 6 grams of fat) 

or 

a Pizza Pocket from the deli and 5 jalapeno poppers - who knows.  Too much to think about.

Dinner 

Anything and everything

I was to the point that I was going to Baskin Robbins at least 2 to 3 times a week and getting a Peanut Butter sundae (1240 calories 61 grams of fat).  I remember going and getting one once and taking it back to my work and eating it.  On a Sunday.  That is when I knew I had a problem with food.  

This does not include the daily candy bars and diet cokes.  

Frightening.  

Makeover?

I had someone ask me today if I've had a makeover...I told them that I had lost about 64 pounds.  She looked at me funny (this is someone I work with that sees me at least twice a week), and said, "Ok, but did you do something different with your makeup or something?"  It made me laugh.  I remember last year at this time, wondering if I will ever be able to cross my legs - wondering if I will ever be able to tie my shoes or put on my socks without running out of breath.  And here I am.  With a makeover.  Thank you sugar, thank you flour.  Thank you for leaving me alone for almost a year. Thank you for helping me be able to cross my legs.  Thank you for staying away so that I can have more energy, sit in plastic chairs, and do so many other things I was worried I would never able to do again.  Thank you for my makeover.  So far, that is!

Breakfast!

This is the only cereal I've found that had no added sugar...easy breakfast! Kashi 7 grain puffs.
