Soreness, Container Store and the Enemy (snack food)

Ugh, right now I am so sore that typing hurts...so maybe I have been going a bit overbored and not doing the "start slowly" routine, and I should slow down. But should I slow down? I am worried if I slow down I will quit, so I dont think I am going to slow down...well not to much anyway.

Yesterday I ate pretty decently until I got home, I have decided snacking is my enemy, yesterday my calorie intake was still under its goal but seriously, I ate a banana for breakfast(105 calories), A greek salad for lunch (210 calories), A salad with tuna salad for dinner (339 calories) for my meals I ate a total of 654 calories, then my snacks totaled 660 calories, mostly cause I was craving cheese and I got olive bar from Whole Foods when I walked up there with my roommate to get the cheese I was craving. And I must admit the cheese was sooo good! I was able to stop myself and not eat to much of it but damn I was mad at myself. I was so full it was uncomfortable, but at least I managed to stay under my calorie intake goal, my budget is 1,157 calories a day, I ate 1,314 calories then I exercized 224 calories so I was 66 calories under my goal.

Unfortunitly I didnt get a chance to do my T'ai Chi video :( Once I got home and went for a run
I realized I had to clean my room before I even had a place to do the video. So knowing that I need to do something for my arms I put the wrist weights on my arms and started cleaning, did that for about an hour, till my roommate came and knocked on my door and asked if I wanted to go to whole foods with her, and I thought oohhh! Cheese!

On the way to whole foods I stopped at the container store and got some amazing stuff to organize my room, which is in deffinate need of organizing. I think once I get home I will post a picture of the horror that is my room...then I will post another picture of it once I finish cleaning...picture goes here:

I love the container store, last night I bought some really nifty things for helping me organize, I got this thing for organizing my undies drawer, and it is a mirical worker! and then I got 2 of these for my tank top drawer, the smallest size (I think it was designed for shoes) fits perfectly in my drawers, I am going back today and getting a bunch more (4 will fit in a drawer so I might get 4 for every drawer in my dresser just to make things neat and clean), so I have the tanks split up by color and style so I can actually find them, ribbed tanks make up like 75% of my wardrobe. And I also bought these, or something exactly like them, they come 2 to a pack so I put all my sweaters in one and then all my sheats and stuff in another, I want to get more of these two so I can put pants and stuff in them.

As for the rest of the night, Bones was alright, its bones so you can basically count on it being entertaining. Fringe was awesome! I was like wait, wait, stop throwing so much information at me I cant keep up! It was a great episode, I love that show, every time I see it I cant wait for the next episode, and it doesnt help that Peter (Joshua Jackson) outgrew his Dawsons Creek days and turned out to be really cute, and not a half bad actor. Project Runnway was also good, although I feel like the show has taken a slight downturn since moving to lifetime, but maybe thats just my predujust against lifetime. I love Shrin and the dress she made was awesome, especially with all the crazyness she had to deal with, I would totally wear that dress (once I lost some more weight) and Black and White is always in style. Imagine that dress with black tights and pumps, anyway I am off topic. But you can check out all of the dresses from last night here. I think the ones that go to Bryant Park are going to be Irena, Shrin and Carol Hannah, but I am probably wrong.

My plan for the rest of the day is as followes, go home (proably early since I have been at work for a couple of hours and really havent done anything yet) go for a long walk with the ankle weights on. Im not running today cause my shins are killing me when I put weight on them, which makes me think I need a break from running. Maybe go to the Container Store and buy some more room organizing stuff, get home clean the hell out of my room, Do some T'ai Chi, eat a quick snack, go to Chinatown to pick up my friend from the bus stop, get dinner (either out, but I dont have tons of money so cheaply) or go home and eat. Then probably watch a movie and go to sleep. Tomorrow is Eastern Market and football day....GO DAWGS, hopefully you can not choke for a game, and then Sunday I am meeting a friend for more football at a pub, I am majorly craving hot wings so I am going to have to be carefull about that...anyway, maybe I will have a chance this weekend to let yall know how I do resisting temptation.

  2. Tucker you should be proud of yourself when you make your goal. Yes you had some cheese but you naturally burn so many calories each day. Secondly, if even with your snacks you are still keeping up with your fats, calories, and carbs then you should be happy :) Stay positive, and stop beating yourself down over the small things like cheese.

  3. You did good homegirl, don't worry about a little cheese. Keep your calories in the range, water high, activity up, and the rest will follow :)
