Yesterday tested my willpower. There was crap all over the house that I wanted to shove in my face. There was a donut on the stove, which I pinched a piece off of and ate, and then threw the rest in the trash . Mario had a pack of Poptarts…can we say torture? The kids ate Cheeto Puffs. Aaarrgh! But I did okay, better than I would have before.

We went to a get-together last night for Jorge’s birthday. The food of course, was delicious. I tried so hard to serve myself small portions, and I think I succeeded. When Mario went to the store to get the kids some Gatorade, I felt like screaming out, “Bring me a Cherry Coke!”, but I refrained and drank the Evian I had previously asked for. It sucks that we didn’t eat till 10–I really want to stop eating after 8pm because the body doesn’t digest the food properly (or something like that ). But all-in-all, I was good .

Must make it a point to work-out today. I woke up even more sore than yesterday from the ab area, but my arms and shoulders aren’t as sore so I will try my hardest to lift weights today. (Doesn’t help that it’s that time of the month as of this morning either .) I wish Mario were here to spot me, just in case I should choke myself with the bar ROFL. But nah, I’ll start with the bar first, then add the 5lb. weights. Let’s see how it goes. *does sign of the cross*

Breakfast:
• 1 egg over easy (I think that’s what it’s called), with Doritos…I can’t help it…must have Doritos with those kinds of eggs! But I did have less than the serving size.
• water

Lunch:
• Sandwich: 3 slices lean turkey meat (60 cals. total), 2 slices wheat bread, lettuce, tomato, avocado, cheese, mustard (no cals.!), and mayo.
• Water
And I actually forgot to serve myself a few Flamin’ Hot Lays chips! I shocked myself .

Dinner:
• Jalapeño Tuna: tuna, jalapeños, tomato, onion, mayo
• 6 tortilla chips
• Water

Dessert:
• 1 C. chocolate chip cookie dough ice cream

Exercise:
• Bench press – 20 @ 10lbs.
• Lat pull down – 40 @ 25lbs.
• Tredmil – walked for 30 min.

Updated @ 4:39…
Note to self: Never, ever walk on the tredmil with a clock in the room. I felt like it was never going to be over! I swear it was 4:29 for what seemed like an eternity.

I’m sweatin’ like a crack-whore in church (as John says LOL). I haven’t sweat like this since the miles of walking at Disneyworld! But then, while at Disneyworld, I lost 12 lbs. . I wish I had an electric tredmil though…this one puts too much strain on the bottom of my feet .

I need to figure out where to put all that crap that’s on the weight bench. I need to use it and there’s absolutely no more closet space for all our darn clothes. Well, most of Mario’s darn clothes. I have less than 1/4 of the closet to myself (shouldn’t it be the other way around??).

Mario was supposed to be watching Supersize Me but ended up falling asleep 3 minutes into the movie. Jaylen’s playing with his toys and I’m here bored out of my mind. We have to pick Eenan up at 3 or so…maybe I should take a shower. It’s Jorge’s birthday tonight so we may go over. I *need* to get out of the house!

I was bored and checked out some videos Mario had downloaded. One was of Ashlee Simpson being booed at the Orange Bowl. How incredibly sad. Lip syncing on SNL is going to haunt that girl for the rest of her life. Supposedly all that (SNL, the Orange Bowl) are going to come out in the new season of her show. I’ll try to watch…if I can tolerate her whiny-ness. Searching for news on Ashlee lead me to something on Lindsay Lohan. I KNEW Lindsay Lohan was a crappy singer when I heard her single. Then I saw a clip of her lip syncing and it confirmed her crappiness. At first I thought the video/audio were out of sync, but no, there’s one part where she really, really missed a part. I guess she needed a back up track so she could concentrate on humping the mic stand . I dislike “singers” like her…who have to lip sync even for a tiny performance where they don’t even dance. People pay to see and hear your skanky ass, at least give them what they pay for. Now that, my dear Lindsay, is how “rumahs” get started . Click here to see the video. They enlarged it, but if you download it to your computer it doesn’t look so pixely.

Yeah, so you can tell I’m bored. Gonna take a quick shower.

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 :(.
