I jumped past the 10 pounds lost marker. I think the first 10 are probably the easiest to lose, but it's worth a small celebration. I honestly didn't think that yesterday's eating would translate to additional loss, but I'll take it.
Today is another odd day for my eating schedule. I have to work overnight for my job. Usually the company brings in some sort of food - nothing too fancy - cold cuts, a loaf of bread, chips, pop, and some cookies or something. All of which are tempting and not really the healthiest choices. This is where some of that planning ahead will help. I'll cut up some carrots to bring, will bring some homemade granola, a yogurt, string cheese, and some other healthier options. I also bought some Mt Dew White Label. I told myself I wasn't going to buy extra pops - just use what I had, but these are 140 calories per tall can and a better option than the 2 liters of normal Mt Dew that will be on hand. I'll need lots of caffeine. I'll also try to make lighter choices leading up to tonight so that I have a bit more room to flex on the calories.
Here's how today's meals played out:
Breakfast: 2 egg omelet with onion, mushroom, and garlic. Topped with hot sauce.
Snack: Homemade popcorn, 2 Diet Mt Dews, a Fun Size Baby Ruth (damn Halloween candy), ~5 seasoned saltines
Lunch: Nothing really. Breakfast was late and didn't get to "lunch"
Dinner: 3 baked chicken buffalo wings, cooked spinach, small side salad w/ vinaigrette, large baked potato
Overnight snacks/dinner/whatever: Glass of Mt Dew, dry roasted peanuts with several candy corns, Cauliflower, Carrots, Broccoli, small amount of veggie dip, 5 meatballs in bbq sauce, 2 little smokies, a half piece of swiss cheese and a slice of roast beef, 3 little cheesecake bar things that were fanfuckingtastic, Mt Dew White Label.
Jesus, that's a lot of food. Seeing the list after I wrote it all out is shocking. I was stuck in the office for around 12 hours though, so maybe not so bad when taking that into account.
Making a conscious effort to track every bite of food that I have through out the day. I have been trying to do that all along but I've been catching myself missing some odds and ends. It's important to get an accurate picture of what I'm taking in, so I'm buckling down a bit more. Just to be clear, I'd say that I've been about 98% accurate up to this point. I just want to have it 100%. For example.. I was just thinking that I haven't had a beer since I started this...well, not true. I was handed one about a week ago and completely forgot to list it the next day. My bad, Internet.
The work all-nighter kinda wrecked my plans. I was tired and trying to keep awake - got weak and ate more than I should have. Luckily this isn't a common occurrence.
Eighteen days down.
