The huge salad that will make me thin.
This will be my main midday meal today. It includes:
One small chicken breast, shredded
A quarter of a red onion
A quarter cup shredded carrot
Half a cup of chopped up broccoli florets
2 hard-boiled eggs
It is the same salad I had last night, and I almost died of happiness.

Confession time
It has been brought to my attention that this blog needs updating. I am sorry. I didn't forget about the blog by any means... But I did fall off the wagon. I didn't make my pre-vacation goal of 255, though I came extremely close. Then I went on vacation and honestly thought I could eat whatever I wanted and swim a lot and be OK. I was wrong! Lesson learned! I gained 4-5 pounds on vacation. Then I came home and was so happy and excited about getting married that I never left celebration mode and put another 4-5 on in the three weeks that followed. About a week ago I snapped out of it and have taken off the post-vacation gain, but I still have the vacation weight to lose. I guess I was ashamed and wanted to lose it all before telling the internet about it... Oh well.
How is everyone on this rainy Monday?

Sunday Diet Update.
Weigh-in = 256.6
DOWN 1.6 pounds since last week!!
DOWN 75.4 POUNDS!***
***I finally hit the 75lb mark. This is very exciting!
I am on track for making my goal, exactly. I am not ahead. I am a little nervous because goal date is next week! I need to do everything I can to make goal early (1.6 more pounds!) and maintain it for the rest of the week.
I have also realized that I never made goals for this week. Whoops. It's lucky for me, though, because I was ragging this past week and didn't do much of anything.
For the next week I want to really work on my calories and get a couple workouts in.

Clothes.
I am halfway through going through my "too small" clothes. A lot of this stuff, besides other times going through the "too small" bags, I haven't seen in 7-8 years. I should say I haven't successfully worn...
I'm getting a lot of clothes that fit again! Woo. I'm also getting a lot of clothes that went right from being too small to being too big.
From now on, everytime I drop into a new 10lb range, I will try the clothes on again.
So, when I drop under 250 I will try them on again. Under 240, try them on again... etc, etc etc. I can't imagine I will have ANYTHING left once I am under 230.
I am sure I will post again to brag once I am out of "too small" clothes.

Planned Cheat Days
Every once in awhile I have "planned cheat days". Yesterday was one of them.
I do not want to take these days away from myself. As long as they are few and far between, I think it is OK with a few "ground rules". Would you guys agree? My thing is that with my allergies, I miss out on SO MUCH already. Why should I miss special occasions?
I had a "planned cheat day" yesterday, and I did not gain today. I am pretty happy about that.
So... holidays, vacations, and the rare trip away from home. Does that sound fair? Also maybe birthdays or other restaurant celebrations. These would happen only once every few weeks IF EVEN. In July's case it would be 4th of July and vacation, which would be a weeklong event. But but but, for vacation I would also be swimming for hours everyday, so I am not worried about weight gain.
Rules would be...
#1 Don't eat more than you are hungry for. This means, seriously consider going back for seconds.
#2 Still make healthy decisions, even if the calories aren't being counted. This means 2% cheese, eggbeaters vs. eggs, low-fat vs. full fat, etc etc etc. This will especially matter on vacation. I still plan to enjoy a couple of my mother's fried eggs, but I will be packing the eggbeaters so I will still have healthy options to choose from.
#3 Don't pig out. This is a repeat of rule number one, but my biggest downfall is always eating my way into a stomachache that lasts for days. I don't have any regret today for yesterday, even though honestly I probably ate 3000 calories. I didn't pig out.
That's all, folks.

Sunday Diet Update!
Weigh-in = 258.2
DOWN 2 pounds since last week!!
DOWN 73.8 pounds since I started last summer.
GOALS FROM LAST WEEK:
#1 Try again to bring Wii Fit clock up to 10:00hrs. -- Totally failed. Totally.
#2 Bring daily calories down to 1725 for regular days. -- Absolutely achieved.
#3 Keep rounding up on the calories. I think I can do better, though I am on the right track. -- Pretty much achieved.
I am back on track for making my goal.
Also, YAY for being back on track to make my 7/19 goal of 255lbs. I want to be at the lowest weight possible when I go on vacation on 7/24. I will be seeing a lot of people I haven't seen in a very, very long time... and yes, I want to feed my ego. I won't even lie about it.
I am including my weight-loss goal chart and my body measurements chart. I don't think I have been taking measurements long enough to really know if I am shrinking. I think it will be months before the daily fluctuations and changes in measuring spots evens out and a downward trend can really be visible.

:D
Today my calories are pretty low. I'm at 732 and it is 7pm and I am not hungry. I think that I will probably get home around 10pm tonight and have a small snack and go right to bed.
Tomorrow is "spike day", which is good since I have planned a big day of eating. My friend Ashley and her boyfriend are coming over for the 4th. We are doing burgers and baked beans and all sorts of stuff.
I made a gluten-free ice cream cake!
I packed the bottom and sides of a spring-form pan with a crust made of cocoa crispies, butter, and marshmallows. Then I loaded it with Mayflower Rocky Road ice cream, which is soy-free, peanut-free, and gluten-free. I made a layer in the middle of Hershey's Syrup and Enjoy Life chocolate chips.
It will all be topped with Light Cool Whip, marshmallows, chocolate chips, and chocolate syrup drizzle.
Yummo!
