been awhile since i've posted...and i'm not going to bother to catch up.
bad news: my knees have been killing me lately (i have osgood-schlatter disease....argh....supposedly it gets better but mine never has and my knees always give me pain after working out for a few days) and so i haven't worked out in about five days. not good. when i don't work out, i eat more, and i eat crappier...and drink more coke. calories through the roof.
good news: i have actually lost weight in spite of this lack of exercise and overeating. i began my quest for weight loss at a whopping 184 pounds, yes, this is, in fact, in the overweight category and my BMI was not something i'd like to discuss. HOWEVER. i now weigh approximately 178 pounds. this makes a total weight loss of six pounds! in two weeks! woot woot. i am pretty excited.
down side: my prepregger pants are still too tight as my tummy is still...well....not pretty. the pants i have now are so big i can pull them on and off without undoing any buttons or zippers....so they look awful. pretty much like i'm wearing a denim sack on my rear.
plus side: um, hello! i've lost six pounds! and i feel smaller although i still have a long way to go.
six pounds down...eighteen more to go!

breakfast: 261 cals
3/4 cup life
1/2 cup milk
1 apple
snack: 194 cals
fiber bar
tangelo
lunch: 565 cals
1/2 pbj sandwich
1 string cheese
6 triscuits
1 nutra-grain bar
snack: 369 cals
1/2 cup light yogurt
1/3 cup bran buds
2 cups milk
dinner: 359 cals (this was a ton of food and just delicious...and so few calories!)
1 cup roasted chicken sauteed in 2 T fat-free italian dressing
2 cups iceberg lettuce
1 cup fresh spinach
1/2 cup frozen peas
3 T chopped celery
2 chopped baby carrots
1/2 tomato
1 radish
dessert: 38 cals
1/4 oz chocolate
exercise: burned 743 cals
running approx 30 mins
walking approx 1o mins
ab workout approx 35 mins
overall: total calorie loss of 1466 with exercise and eating 723 calories less than target goal.
running is getting hard on my knees and hips...and i am not running as much as my goal but with the ab workouts i'm doing (which are killer, btw) i am hitting my goal of a 45 minute work out. it also seems that i am eating way under calorie targets, but i am eating a lot and i am full during the day. i'm just eating healthier. also, the "target" calorie intake is to maintain my weight and is over 2000 calories a day, and varies based on my exercise the days before (i.e. it increases almost daily). i am trying to lose weight and i don't need that many calories.
p.s. i think i've already lost two pounds! woot!

sunday, april 18
thanks to my snazzy new iphone app...
breakfast: 415 calories
5 T vanilla yogurt
2.5 T bran buds
2 slices italian bread
1 1/2 cups milk
snack: 190 calories
1 string cheese
6 triscuits (rosemary and olive oil kind...yum)
lunch: 496 cals
2 slices italian bread
1 T mayo
1 t mustard
1 slice swiss cheese
6 slices thin chicken breast
1 tangelo
snack: 5 calories
1 t turtle chex mix
dinner: 1187 cals
1 cup canned corn
2 hot dogs
2 hot dog buns
2 T ketchup
2 T mustard
2 T dill relish
exercise: burned 329 calories-ish (i think it's less than this because i was starting and stopping a lot to watch the animals.)
walked around the zoo about an hour and a half. carried baby in front carrier for a bit, pushed stroller for a bit.
overall thoughts:
consumed 2294 calories, burned 329. total calorie loss of 544, exceeds planed calorie loss by 138 cals. (at this rate i will lose about 1.1 lb per week, which is about my goal of 1 pound per week.)
it is so easy to keep track of things with my new app. i also acquired a scale on saturday. my official weight? 184 pounds....ugh. my target goal? 160. (if i make it to 150 i will be thrilled but 160 is a little more attainable i think.) i also overate at dinner because i didn't really have a snack in the afternoon. AND those hot dogs were fabulous. hubby grilled them. i am doing better about the candy.

saturday, april 17
i had 4 leftover asian-style ribs for breakfast at 8:15 and a 20 oz coke at 11:30. after that...i didn't keep track and i didn't really exercise. plus i had taco time for dinner. not a good day...
...except that it was AWESOME in that fact that:
a) i got a new dress
b) i got to hang out with my sister...we walked around the mall for an hour. i guess that counts as exercise
c) my sister babysat so hubby and i could go on a date (we haven't been on a date without kids since last august!)
d) hubby and i saw an awesome imax movie in 3D about the hubble telescope, and walked around an outdoor mall for a bit. more exercise, right?
e) i got an iphone! i am not kidding. hubby freaking rocks, he bought me an iphone.
as a consequence of such spectacular iphone, i now have this cool app to keep track of what i eat, how much exercise i do, calorie consumption and calories burned, my weight loss goals, nutrition, and other awesome things. my format will now probably change.
