Day 4+
4 AM 1/4 Bagel and PB
12:30 PM eggs w/ feta and spinach
1:30 PM 1/2 Turkey Burger
6:00 PM Chickpea Tangine, Frozen Yogurt and Big B/Kefir Shake
10:00 pm Sonic Burger w/ mustard 1/2 small tot
10:30 PM - 2:30 AM Alcohol and LOTS OF DANCING!!!!!
3:30 AM Jimmy John's
5:30 AM 1 slice pizza
Another day of way too many calories but I burned tons on the dance floor. I made bad decisions in the late night hours but I did GREAT the first half of the day. I have decided to use this as an opportunity. You may notice that 3:30 and 5:30 AM are after mid-night I have decided to switch up how I calculate a day. From here on out a day will be from when I wake up to when I go to sleep just like the rest of the world. It makes more sense and it keeps me from using the mid-night dividing line for leverage.
Good Stuff: Hanging with shortie and her friends at brunch, sharing info about clean eating and localharvest.com, dancing the night away with so many amazing friends, possibly starting dancing salsa again with Gahdeer, singing REO Speedwagon in bed w/ Beau when I couldn't sleep
Stuff to Improve: Walk Jersey longer, wake up for Project Poolside, have a specific easy to remember plan for eating when I know I will be drinking
Stuff I learned: Kona has a good turkey burger and walking is as important as sleeping (see previous post)

Walking as Important as Sleep
Great article on the importance of walking. I will definitely try to make my walk with Jersey longer now and make them a bigger priority. It will be good for both of us. I will add my walk time length to the daily report.

Day 2 (a little late) and 3 (kind of on time)
Day 2
12:30 AM Salmon Wrap (yummy)
3:45 AM Turkey and Bean Chili (yummy again; gets better each day as the flavors marinate)
6:30 AM Little bit of popcorn and small bowl of cereal
4:00 PM Jersey longer walk
4:30 PM Kefir and Granola
7:30 PM little bit of chips and fresh guac
8:30 PM Chickpea Tangine ( SO FREAKING GOOD I AM PROUD OF THIS ONE!! )
11:15 PM Chocolate Snack Pack
Total Approx. Calories = 1600
Good Stuff: I am really liking cooking my own healthy food and I am getting better at it all three recipes this week turned out yummy. Took Jersey on a longer walk it was finally nice outside :)
Stuff to improve:
Calories still a bit high and sugar content is sky high. Should have gotten in a workout but didn't.
Stuff I Learned:
If it looks like a cucumber even though it is labeled a zucchini it is a cucumber but its okay because cucumber does taste good in Chickpea Tangine
Day 3 NOT A GOOD DAY FOR FOOD AND EXERCISE but a great life day
12 AM Lasagna and a Brownie
2:45 AM Brownie
3:30 AM SNACK ATTACK 2 bites cookie 2 small pretzels and almond butter toast
2:30 PM short Jersey walk
3:30 PM Juice and Kefir Shake with Big B
4:15 - 7:15 PM Movies with Beau (Avatar in 3D)
8:00 PM Spin Pizza w/ the family (pizza, salad, wine, and gellato yeah right I am on diet)
Total Approx. Calories = Way to many but a ball park figure = 2300 ish
Good Stuff: Had a great night w/ Beau and Family, Movie was good, I laughed a lot, and I really enjoyed the meal that doubled my daily calories it was not some food controlling me binge (well minus the brownie issues early on).
Stuff to work on: One word; BROWNIES!
Stuff I learned: When I have the munchies I need to go straight to a high protein high fiber food with good fats and it ends the grazing decreasing the feeling of failure.

Day 1
3:30 am 1/2 salmon wrap w/ lots of veggies and a little avocado
4:30 am a bunch of super yummy pan popped popcorn from a co-worker
6:40 am String Cheese
4:00 pm Cereal and soy milk and a hard boiled egg
6:30 pm -7:30 pm PROJECT POOLSIDE @ SCOTT FITNESS (aka boot camp for your booty)
7:40 pm Shake w/ Big B (my new B vitamin mix, made the shake yummier and healthier at the same time)
8:10 pm Skin from left over baked potato
9:40 pm Amy's Kitchen Burrito w/ homemade guac; spinach salad w/ guac and a little dressing and 1/4 c frozen yogurt
Total Approx. Calories = 1550
Not bad for the 1st day back on track.
Today's...
Best Stuff: Went to class, stayed in calorie range, got new Big B vitamin powder (that I won on-line)and I like it, took a power nap before work, got the whole CC (children's center)cleaned in 30 min.
Areas to strengthen: Walk Jersey longer, do 8 Min in AM, make better food choices (should have eaten less popcorn, and cereal I had was high in sugar but it's gone now so no more)
Things I learned today: Wear good gym clothes. I didn't today because I was in a hurry so I wore baggy sweats and a t-shirt to class. Bad idea. Not only was it discouraging to look in the mirror it was a pain in the butt. I had to tuck the t-shirt in so it didn't come up or hang down. I will definitely take the extra 2 minutes to put on my stuff designed for the gym from now on.
I also read a great article on the need for sleep. Nothing super shocking but reinforced the power of sleep and the importance of getting enough of it especially if you are trying to lose weight.
