Day 2

I woke up with my stomach roaring like a lion this morning . I actually didn’t eat anything past 8pm last night–and I usually do, which could be the reason this roll *points to stomach* is here. I weighed myself on Noelia’s scale yesterday and it said I weigh 116…so I don’t know if I weigh 116 or 123 like Maggie’s scale said. Maggie’s was digital…I wonder if that has anything to do with it? Blah. I guess lbs. really don’t matter to me…it’s losing the actual “chub” that matters. I can feel the little sucker spilling out of my jeans as I sit here this very minute . I’m still debating whether I should take before pics and post them, though that scares me. I definetly wouldn’t take one in a sports bra or anything like that .

My arm pits and stomach are sore. And I like it .

Breakfast:
• bowl of banana/strawberry Cheerios w/ half cup milk

Lunch:
• A small slice of lasagna (again, since Mario nor I wanted to cook )
• water
• Two Carb Well Oreos (read below for review)

Afternoon Snack:
• Cambell’s Soup At Hand – clam chowder
• 1/2 a can of Nestea (the only sugary drink I’d have, 60 cals)

Dinner:
(Went to a get-together so we didn’t eat till 10pm! I ate a lot, but I don’t think I over-did it. I hope.)
• Chicken…not even the whole chicken piece, no skin
• One tiny strip of fajita
• Less than half a cup of rice
• Less than half a cup of potato salad (potatoes, hard-boiled eggs, mayo, mustard, salt, pickles and celery–bad girl!)
• Pico de gallo with avocado (avocado, lemon, salt, tomatoes, onions, jalapeno peppers, cilantro)
• A few tortilla chips
• Water

So yeah, I may have overdone it last night with the potato salad…nothing else was really as fatty. But I didn’t bring anything home and I didn’t pick at the food the kids left !

As for the Carb Well Oreos. I tried them because I love Oreos, but the “real” Oreos have too much sugar. A serving is 2 cookies for both, so when I compared them yesterday I was kinda disappointed. Regular Oreos have 140 Calories, Carb Wells have 100–ok, that’s good. Neither have cholesterol. Regular Oreos have about 24 carbs (can’t remember the correct # at the moment) and Carb Wells have 16. The Regular Oreos have a few grams of sugar and the Carb Wells don’t…but then I notice it says ‘Sugar Alcohol 7g’. WTF is sugar alcohol?? Carb Wells also have an extra gram of protein (regular Oreos have 1g). It doesn’t make much of a difference for me, but I guess every calorie counts?

As for the taste, they didn’t taste as much like ass as I thought they would…but the cookie part did taste a bit…grainy? I also had a weird medicine-y taste in my mouth after eating both cookies. Not sure what that was all about (the sugar alcohol maybe??). So yeah, I may finish up this box and stick to regular Oreos. Remind me to drink something after my two cookies to get rid of the strange taste–that’s why I drank a Nestea…still tasted it after drinking a pint of water .

I want to try those Crystal Light on the go packets. Hopefully they’re not packed with sugar (and heaven forbid they have any sugar substitute, ew! I’d rather not have something at all in that case). I didn’t get to exercise at all…which sucks :(.

OMG I went kinda crazy this morning. maybe I can make up for it by eating plain soup or something for lunch! I had 2 eggs, 2 sausage links and a bowl of grits 🙁 AHHHHHHHHH
