Anyway, so we carved pumpkins, debated the health benifets of soy milk...which turns out are bacially the same as regular milk, except for the fact that soy milk has a little bit more calories and it doesnt upset my stomach. So Soy Milk=Win for me.
Also last night I made lima beans and pasta for dinner...and I know pasta is really high on my bad foods list but I was being lazy and its easy to make, after I poured the sauce on the pasta and stired it up, I noticed mold growing on the top of the can and was like crap...well I didnt need to eat this anyway and dumped the entire thing out...guess it was just Gods way of saying hey fatty dont eat that. So I made cream of wheat instead. I love cream of wheat, its one of my go to comfort foods and it only has 220 calories per serving. I added about 1 TBSP of honey and so it worked out to be something like 280 calories for the cream of wheat. Which isnt bad.
I did get yelled at by 4 different people yesterday for not eatting a big enough breakfast, but I dont like breakfast, I really dont. One of the conversations went something like this...
me: "I had a banana for breakfast"
friend:" Thats not enough food"
me: "I dont like breakfast"
friend:" who says breakfast has to be breakfast, you need to eat more calories in the morning and less at night it will help you loose weight"
me: "but it takes time in the morning and I dont like to wake up, and I dont like eating lots in the morning it makes me feel gross"
friend: "bullshit, you need to eat a better breakfast"
So I guess I really should eat breakfast, I know its what everyone in the world recomends but I dont like breakfast, eatting a banana in the morning is huge for me! Normally I just have a cup of coffee or tea and water and I am good till lunch, and I like banana's they are yummy and I can eat it sitting at my desk or getting dressed or driving into work or wherever. Ugh..I am willing to try eating a better breakfast however, but I do need advice. What do you eat for breakfast if you dont like breakfast? It needs to be fast, easy and taste good...I wonder if I can make cream of wheat the night before and heat it up in the morning...eh. HELP.
Also on another front I got yelled at again today by other friends for not eatting enough in general. This came up cause someone asked me what I brought for lunch and I said a bell pepper...and they freeked out cause apparently a bell pepper isnt a good lunch. I guess it is kinda on the light end of what I normally eat but they are yummy and I love them and I know I will eat more later ( as in healthy snacks, I have a portion of trail mix, dried mango and apple sauce as my snacks for today). What do you guys think...am I being crazy for thinking a bell pepper is a good lunch? (please ignore the horrible hair day, I didnt wake up early enough to work out and take a shower so I chose to work out)
DC is so cold and I am kinda grumpy cause of it. I am such a chicken about going outside and its only in the 40s right now...BUT ITS IN THE 40's AND ITS ONLY OCTOBER...thats just plain ridiculous for a georgia girl. I finally finally found some tights that fit, so I can keep wearing the dresses that I love to wear in the spring, but I dont want it to be cold. I am boycotting the cold. It is official. On the tights note, I hate they way they size womans tights, cause I have giant thighes and an ass...and when I weighed like 140lbs I had to buy tights for woman that weighed 160-200 lbs now that I weigh 200 lbs I cannot find tights that fit me...but I was at target and I saw they had 2xl tights and got really exctied cause they fit woman from like 200-250lbs the biggest tights I have ever found and they actually fit(on a side note I shouldnt be this excited about buying clothes in the 2xl size range but whatever they are tights and I onlyhave to buy them this big cause I have an ass)!
I also feel really bad cause from reading other peoples blog, like Josh over at my two feet , Shmologna at Me vs the Buffet , Jenn over at Ex Hot Girl, and Brittany at More that just Moral Support that I am just being a giant wuss. So I just wanted to throw some props yalls way for putting up with ridiculous weather better than I do.
Sorry for the long random post, but I guess the people that are following me are kinda used to it by now.

Grrrowl! A bell pepper for lunch? You're taking your diet to extremes... you can't limit your calorie intake all day and then binge at night or limit your calorie intake to a point below a healthy average.
ReplyDeleteIt's a difficult transition, so don't try to do everything at once. Don't expect miracles... and don't do anything unhealthy! ;)

I think the bell pepper is fine for lunch if you are going to have healthy snacks throughout the day. If it's all you are going to eat for 4-5 hours, then no. But if you are having a bell pepper then an hour or two later an apple and then something else later on, it sounds like it's a fine way to eat as long as you aren't going long periods without food and then eating just a bell pepper.
