Still Counting

I grabbed lunch!
1 cup watermelon - about 50 calories
1 cup pineapple - 140 calories
1 cup honeydew - 61 calories
1 slice cheese pizza - about 250 calories
Lunch total: 401 calories

If I actually finish eating all of this, I'll have 569 calories left to eat for the day. Groan...I can't eat this much food!

Calorie Counting

So I totally decided that I'm going to attempt to eat at least 1500 calories for the day. That's how many calories I need to eat to weigh 120 pounds. I feel like this is going to be a challenge. So far, all I've eaten for the day is a Fuji apple, which is 130 calories according to Calorie Count. I'm going to eat a granola bar right now, which is 100 calories, and 7 cubes of colby jack cheese coming in at 110 calories. So far, my total for the day is going to be 340 calories. 1160 more calories to go!

Edit: Add a cup of skim milk to my total so far which is 130 calories. So I still have to eat 1030 more calories.
2nd Edit: 5 wheat Saltines - 60 calories. Finally under 1000!!! 970 more calories!

First Diet Break Day...Sort Of

So today I actually deviated from my diet a little bit but not to the point of oblivion. I still ate small portions, but today I had some rotisserie chicken. A friend bought a whole rotisserie chicken and fed a bunch of us in the dorm. And it was good. I just now came back from Starbucks where I proceeded to indulge in a Venti Passion Iced Tea Lemonade. And it was good. And only 190 calories. I loved every sip of it, and that might just be my new drink! I feel good. I totally didn't go over the calorie count because I didn't eat today due to the fact that I was braiding a friend's hair(and getting paid for it) and I was rushing to finish it so I could go to the gym.

Speaking of the gym, I totally did weights today with a friend and I felt good. My arms and pectoral muscles are definitely going to be aching when I wake up tomorrow morning! I didn't really do too much leg work, just a little inner and outer thighs. And I crammed in some ab work. Then I proceeded to partake of my favorite pasttime, eating. Just kidding! I played some basketball for a little while. Oh, almost forgot this part! The scale read 172.6 pounds today!! I feel good...

Whoops!

Sorry for not updating yesterday, but I totally crashed around 8 last night and it was a good sleep. Anyway, I know for a fact that I didn't even eat 1000 calories yesterday because I didn't eat much at lunch. I wasn't supposed to eat at lunch, but I did anyway. I did a quick weigh in wearing street clothes, but no shoes and the scale said 173.8. Not bad, but I gotta take that Senna tea soon. Maybe I'll even buy some magnesium citrate. That stuff is powerful, so don't plan on going anywhere for the entire day unless you have a Port-A-Potty with you at all times. Besides that, I think that was all that happened yesterday. Updates later!

Good Morning....Internet

I'm up bright and early today! I just came back from the gym and I was feeling a little light-headed this morning so I only got  to 21 minutes on the elliptical before I got off. It said that I burned 235 calories in those 21 minutes so I'm pretty content with that. I'm gonna get to my daily bowl of oatmeal now before I faint out of hunger!

Edit: Totally forgot to tell you that the scale said I weigh exactly 175 pounds without my shoes.
