I am going to try the whole calorie counting deal. I figured that if I want to be at 145 that it will take from now until December 21, 2014. I will need to eat 1,377 calories per day and exercise moderately.
I can do that!
Today I will be counting the calories that go into my favorite food choices.
Fage with granola and honey
Hummus, akmak and vegies
Breakfast smoothies
Turkey sandwich on whole wheat with avocado
Tuna with spread on akmak
Power greens with chicken breast, tomatoes and avocados
My new exercise schedule will be treadmill walk/run Tuesday morning, Thursday morning and Saturdays. I may try to get out for an evening walk with Ben Monday, Wednesday nights.
I am having a hard time with Easter candy in the house. Those little Whopper Robin Eggs are so stinkin' good. I finished the Talenti ice cream last night. Not feeling very proud of myself right now.
NEW DAY!
Taking boys to school, home to have breakfast and work until 10:30am and then it is my time. The possibilities are endless!

Super happy with things......
We have had a grey cloud over our house since December 19, 2013. A dog ran in front of my husband's car as he was coming home from Christmas shopping. The dog was off leash (big no-no in our town, county, state, country, WORLD) and on the opposite side of the street from the owner. Ya, a big WTF! It has been a horrible experience complete with visits by the aggressive dog owner to our home, phone calls, insurance claims, letters in the mail, small claims court appearances, appearance before sitting judges and finally, REDEMPTION! We won the case on Friday at 10:10am. The dog, unfortunately, died from the injuries. But, none of this was our fault. If the owner had had the dog on a leash and had been a responsible dog-owner, the dog would still be alive.
I feel like the sun came out today after a really, really really long storm. It has affected how we feel about our home, our front yard, our neighborhood (oh ya, they live across the creek from us) and our town. I am constantly thinking that I will run into them at the store or open my front door to their old, slothy faces. We need to heal now.
I weighed in on Thursday and even though I was finishing up my period, I was down .3 lbs. I was shocked. I have had a few oops this week. I have not exercised (spring break for the boys) in ages. I really want to want to get out in the garage and run. I will have a chance Monday night and then Tuesday morning. I will Wednesday night and then Thursday morning. I will Friday night. I will. I will.
Last night I ate a single serving of ice cream. A single serving. I enjoyed it. I put the container back in the freezer. I was satisfied. That felt good.
Today, I ate a hybrid burrito at Freebirds in Ventura. It was vegetarian and I was satisfied. That felt good.
I am taking joy in the small things. Eating controlled portions and being satisfied. It feels good.
This week I pledge to eat more power green mix. I pledge to eat more good fruit and vegetables and less Akmak crackers and hummus.
I feel good about myself right now. I caught a glimpse of myself in the reflection of the frozen food section at the grocery store. I liked how I looked. My stomach has been reduced and my ass was not sticking out like usual. My face is looking thinner and my hair is feeling thick and healthy. My skin will always be an issue for me. I think my body has a problem with dairy and fatty foods like peanut butter. Crap.
I have found a great product for my body. Kevita probiotic drinks. I love the green drink. $2.29/each at Vons this week. $1.50/1 coupons make each one $.79! Usually $2.99 each.
My period was very mild. I did not have the super bitch show up. It was not as heavy and bloaty and angry as before. I could really tell the difference. I am hopeful that this is a change that will continue.
I need to drink more water. I need to drink more water. Thinking about checking into reverse osmosis options. All of these empty water bottles makes me feel bad.
