Food vs. My Waistline: Week Two

Inspiration and Motivation. Those are the two things I think you need to reach any goal. I think scare tactics are also a good way to start a lifestyle change. Even changing just a few "habits" will help you out. Take these things out of your diet and you will be taking a step in the right direction!

The Traditional Red Lobster Margarita has 890 calories. That's the equivalent of 7 Almond Joys! 

Eat This Not That: Venti Starbucks Espresso Frappuccino (290 calories) VS. Large Dunkin' Donuts Frozen Cappuccino with Skim Milk (550 calories)

A salad worse than the Big Mac! TFIFridays Santa Fe Chopped Salad (1800 calories!)

Stay away from the Grilled Chicken & Avocado Club at Cheesecake Factory 1,752 calories! (And I thought I was eating healthy!)

Last week I weighed in at 129 pounds. This morning the scale read 130 pounds. So, I gained a pound. But still putting the total weight loss at 1.6 pounds.

Monday through Friday is easy. I planned for a cheat night on Saturday, for date night. But what I did not plan was more than one beer and McDonalds french fries. Or Cici's Pizza on Sunday night. That was my major fail of the week. Sunday night I wanted Lays potato chips, Facebook friends talked me out of it. I'm starting to think I might be a closet eater, I purposely did not say I was going to Cici's, because I knew people would talk me out of it. I think that's a problem.

I worked out three times with Natosha. It's great having a workout buddy that has the same goals as me. But she went to Cici's with me, so we need to work on that part of our plan!

Week one was easy, week two proved to be hard. Since I didn't lose any weight, I'm a little disappointed in myself..but today is a new day and I won't let it get to me.

Healthy Dinners
Monday: Shrimp Taco Salad - shrimp, lettuce, black beans, tomato, corn, light homemade dressing and avocado cream

Tuesday: Taco-Barbecue Chicken with Citrus Slaw and Garlic Bread

Wednesday: Me and Danny shared a T-bone (the picture makes it look HUGE, but I had the bone, and apparently most of the fat..ick) corn & broccoli, and potato.

Thursday: Two Surf Dogs - Hot dogs with terryaki sauce and pineapple salsa (I was only going to have one, but seriously, it was SO good!)

Friday: Thanksgiving Burgers - ground turkey mixed with sauteed apples and onions. Topped with cheese a cranberry and light sour cream sauce. On a 100 calorie bun.

Saturday: Date night, we had steamed clams, a side salad and crab cakes with green beans and a sweet potato! So yummy. And a Blue Moon. Then we went out for a few drinks....and McDonalds french fries. OOPS!

Sunday: CiCi's Pizza. I didn't even bother to take a picture of all the pizza...FAIL.


Workouts
Monday: It took me a half hour to mop our kitchen, I broke out in a sweat...THAT is a workout! And me and Natosha dusted off the "10 Days to a Better Body" DVD...we did 15 minutes of  it.

Tuesday: None. And rain got in the way of walking the dog.

Wednesday: 15 minutes of Crunch dance video and 15 minutes of 10 Days to a Better Body (back to back..30 minutes total!)

Thursday: 20 minutes of Pilates (abs, butt and thighs) and RAN around the block with Miley and got wicked sweaty!

Friday: None
Saturday: None
Sunday: None

The Ups: Natosha is a great workout buddy!
The Downs: Beers on date night...and french fries, they tasted SO good. But made me feel gross Sunday morning. And last minute pizza cravings...
