Public weight in #2

So, like I said in yesterday's post, lat week was crazy and I never once made it to the gym. Nor did I even pay any attention to what I ate.  So, as you can see below I gained 0.5 pound.

I went to the store yesterday and got all kinds of fruits and vegetable to eat this week.  I took my breakfast, lunch and snacks to work with me and was good all day.  I also cooked dinner for myself tonight instead of going out. 

Here is what I had:

Breakfast: Strawberry/banana/skim milk smoothie
Snack: Cantelope
Lunch: PB&J sandwich, salad
Snack: Cantelope
Dinner: Rice & veggies, salad
Snack: Triscuits & Laughing Cow cheese

I went to Alicia's tonight for about an hour and a half.  I had some fruit juice with vodka.  I even counted that into my calories for the day.

I wear an armband (www.bodymedia.com) that tells me how many calories I burn thoughout the day.  I then make sure that I eat 1,000 less than I burn.  Today I ate around 1585 calories and have burned 2695.  So, I hit my 1,000 calorie deficit for the day.  Now I just need to get myself to the gym!

Here's a little bit of background.  When I met my husband in 1999, I weighed 150.  So over the course of our 11 years together, I gained 129 pounds.  My highest that I know of was 279 pounds.  I lost 30 and then gained back 11.  I lost the 30 pounds by just using my armband and making sure I always had a calorie deficit.  Once I hit 30 it started to slow down and I figured going to the gym would help.  But I hated going to the gym.  So I just gave up on everything. 

Now that J is gone, I am going to focus on ME.  I can do whatever I want in the evening without having to think about someone else.  So I'm hoping I can start spending some time at the gym, making sure I have healthy food options and preparing breakfast and lunch for work. 

I cannot believe I gained 129 pounds.  That is almost double my weight when I met him.  Disgusting.
