Sandy

Fortunately, my family, friends, & myself have been essentially unharmed by the hurricane. A few lost power for a few days but we all got through it! I have 4 people staying at my house as they don’t have power or running water.

My gym, however, has not had power until today! And with people staying here, there is no room to work out. Also, there hasn’t been much open to eat & we ran out if our food supply. I’ve been eating mainly pizza & other horrible carbs non stop.

Tomorrow I will be going mad hard at the gym. Wish me luck as it feels like I haven’t been there in ages.

Food/Exercise Log 10/8

I’m not even going to share a food log because it’s useless. But I will say I ate a total of 5 slices of pizza and nothing of substance.

But I went grocery shopping. I bought..everything. Everything I normally eat when I’m not ordering out:

• Special K
• veggies
• Boca burgers

Yum, yum, & yum. I just need to get to the deli for some lunch meats. The deli was closed. Wah.

Anyway, off to bed for a good night’s rest! 

Food Log 11/28/11

Today was my first day of working my new job. I literally sit at a desk all day..except when I get up to get faxes from the machine. -__-

All the better reason to keep the calories down and the food intake somewhat healthy:

• Special K Vanilla Almond w/ 1% milk
• Special K Chocolatey Drizzle Bar
• Cracked peppermill turkey w/ muenster cheese & lettuce on whole grain bread
• Special K Chocolate Protein Shake
• Salad w/ lettuce, carrots, celery, croutons, grilled chicken, cucumbers, croutons—light Italian dressing

I am at about 1538 calories because I am having a cocktail. Firefly on the rocks. Why? Because I’m a big girl and just worked my first full day of work. Celebrate! Cheers!

P.s. It looks like I’ll be somewhat doing the Special K Challenge for the time being. At least until I get back on track.

IMPORTANT:

My boyfriend and I are going on a diet. Starting tomorrow morning, I am fully employed and will not have time to binge (or work out, for that), so Greg and I have decided it’s time to stop eating FAT and start getting healthy.

I wish I had time to work out and I will when I do have the time. Once I get used to working a full day, I will try to work some exercise into my daily routine.

As for now, healthy eating all the way.

I will be posting daily again. =]

edit: for now I have a tub of frosting with a spoon next to me.
