Another day done. Started off by walking 14 minutes again with my Mom. Today was not as hot as yesterday. I am feeling it in my legs though. I felt more energized today. I also reached out to my doctor about getting some bloodwork done to test for PCOS. I know that I’ve asked in the past to be tested for it but I do not think the bloodwork they ordered were the right test. But fingers crossed.

As for the food for the day:

Breakfast:

Bagel thin and whipped cream cheese and protein coffee

Lunch:

Left over Pasta House pasta con broccoli, Baked Cheetos, a pickle and a banana

Dinner: 

Buffalo Wild Wings boneless wings (parmesan garlic and mild), Chips and queso, fries and carrots & celery with ranch. 

Snack:

Apple & some turkey bites for protein

Started the day by walking around the block today with my mom. I opened the outdoor walk workout on my apple watch and was very disappointed when only 2 of the 13 minute walk went towards my exercise ring. Yesterday I changed the exercise goal to 10 minutes because I feel as though I needed to feel successful. Needless to say lesson learned and I will be using the Open Goal Workout next time.

As for the food log:

Breakfast: 

Bagel thin with whipped cream cheese and protein coffee

Lunch: 

Tequilas Mexican Restaurant: Pollo Mexicana (chicken, rice and queso); side of beans and chips, salsa and queso. *brought home leftovers for lunch*

Dinner: 

Left over Pasta House pasta con broccoli and a caesar salad.

One thing I have been working on is not feeling bad for not clearing my plate. It is okay to feel full and stop eating. It’s okay to take leftovers. I am not huge on eating left overs but one thing my nutritionist told me yesterday is “would you rather waste those 5 dollars in food or would you rather eat that food and then put the weight on your body? You’re worth more than that.”

Wow it has been a while. First, I guess I am going to start by saying I am just writing to write and to get things out. I don’t know why for some reason it feels weird to write actual things down in a journal that is not in bullet- journal form. (Might have something to do with growing up with websites like Myspace and Xanga 😱). 

Yesterday marked the first step of yet another weight loss journey. I spoke with a nutritionist who specializes in intuitive eating and health at every size (something that is very important to me). This time I am in a different headspace with weight loss (granted my mental health is not the best right now. I am hoping that writing about everything will help that a bit too) I feel way more committed to trying.  I am not looking to get anything on here other than using it as a place to keep track of food and how I am feeling on this journey. 

Thursday marked the beginning of my third year teaching. My third year of working with upper elementary (grades 4-6) children with special needs. Lets see where this journey takes us.
