Day 196

208 lbs

Soooooo I've been sick...but trying to eat as much as I can and drinking tons of water....haven't exercised since I don't know when....that first bike ride I had was the last real day of exercise....heat was a key factor...then family arriving and then this sickness....next week we're camping most of the week (Wed-Sat) so hopefully I get plenty of exercising in (swimming, hiking) and I'm going to try my best to stay true to my eating plan which won't be easy considering our normal camp food consists of hotdogs, hamburgers and marshmallows....lol This year I'm going to bring lots of healthy snacks that won't go bad right away....apples and bananas...granola bars....that sort of thing :) BUT I am allowing a full fat/calorie meal and I won't be counting ANYTHING that meal....Fundy Takeout has awesome food and I'm already craving my deep fried clams....yum! And we're hoping to get some lobster :) But if I balance everything else out it shouldn't be a problem...I have my fast food every once in awhile....last weekend was really bad though....pizza and McDonalds and alcohol, oh my! lol But I got to hang out with my old bestie so it was all good :)

I honestly didn't plan on updating today but it's too hot to do anything and I can't really lay down this time of day so I figured I'd at least update my weight...

Anyway.....until next time...can't guarantee when...

Day 189

OK, started my food journal again, or rather resumed it....I had done it for awhile and then found I was depressed looking at the total at the end of the day....and it was a big job to do every day so I got tired of it pretty quick....but I'm curious with the way I've been eating lately....because I haven't been counting total calories or fat....I know I'm not over (except if we eat out and that is seldome these days) but I want to make sure I'm getting enough calories for the day....and protein as well...and keeping my nutrition in check :)

I was too lazy to cook anything for breakfast so I had grapefruit, banana, sliced cheese and coffee instead....bad enough I was drinking hot coffee....hot food on top of it would send me over the edge....but I think I'll boil some eggs this morning for lunch....by then they'll be nice and cold to slice up and have with my salad :) Mmmmm...

Day 188

210.2

I'm replacing walking with biking....I can go later at night when it gets cooler and it only takes a fraction of the time to complete my 4km....and it gives me a hundred percent better workout! Went for the first time last night and I'm not sore today at all other than my butt because those bike seats are not very comfortable....might have to invest in a nice gel seat....

Only 3.8 pounds to go to get to my pre-Lily weight...lol...and only 10.4 lbs to get under 200 lbs!! YAYYYYYYYYYYY!!!!!!!!!!!!! Can't wait to see 199 on the scale!!!!!! Maybe by the end of this month? Would be nice but I'm not holding my breath....but I can certainly strive for it....that's the plan anyway....the goal for theonth we'll say, even though there's only 3weeks left to do it....I'd have to lose approximately 3.3 lbs per week in order to do that...not saying it's impossible if I can go biking every day or at least 5 times in the week...and stick to my eating plan I've been on which is going very well! Hell if I even get close to that I'll be happy :)

OK...better run....got a lot of housework to do and it's already so hot I don't know if I can do it or not...really just want to sit in front of a fan for the rest of the day...
