I Did Good Today

OK, so today I woke up feeling pretty decent for a change. So my “diet” started anew.

I decided to go back to my original “five/six meals a day, carbs in the morning, protein/fat at night” diet. I got the most amazing results from this diet a couple of years ago - went from 155 to 135 in a matter of a month or two. And the funny thing is, you eat - a lot - on this diet. Who would have thought eating could make you lose weight?

So I’m giving it a try again. Today’s menu looked like this for me:

Breakfast (2pm):
Two waffles - 160
Sugar-free syrup - 35
Spray butter - 0
Coffee w/cream: 45
Total: 240

2nd meal: (4:30pm):
2 pancakes - 200
Sugar-free syrup - 35
Spray butter - 0
Few slices of canned pear - 60
Total: 295

Lunch: (7pm):
Turkey/Pepper/Onion stir fry - 225
Cottage cheese - 225

Snack: (9pm):
3 cheese sticks - 330 (I’m addicted to cheese)

Dinner: (in a short while)
3 slices ready-made bacon - 70
Garden Veggie Egg Beaters - 90 (that’s 3 servings, too!)
Total: 160

TODAY’S TOTAL: 1250 CALORIES

Not bad… I don’t usually get up so late, but I was literally up all night last night (insomnia, due to my stupid alcohol withdrawal which has also messed up my sleeping patterns).

Those garden veggie egg beater things are really tasty and super low calorie. You can make a large omelette which is about 3 servings or so, and you are still only up to 90 calories.

Anyway, I’m going to try and stay around 1200-1400 calories because I don’t want to lose weight too fast and get sick. As for vitamins and meds, I take 2 or 3 magnesium/calcium/zinc supplements a day.

Tomorrow I’m supposed to be up early to try and register for some University classes. Since I slept so late today, I have no clue how I’m going to get up early. But I have to try… the class starts next week!
